What if brain fog, bloating, exhaustion, and hormonal chaos are not separate problems, but signals of one shared root issue? In this episode of Hormones, Metabolism, and You, Dr. Cassie Smith is joined by returning guest Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and author of The Inflammation Code.

Together, they explore how chronic inflammation quietly disrupts gut health, hormone metabolism, sleep, mood, and energy, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Gupta explains how ancient Ayurvedic principles align with modern functional medicine, offering practical, non-diet strategies to support digestion, estrogen metabolism, circadian rhythms, and nervous system balance.

This conversation focuses on working with the body rather than against it, using daily rhythms, simple rituals, and gut-forward practices to support long-term resilience at every stage of life.

Doing Everything Right but Still Not Losing Weight? - The Shocking Truth About Midlife Metabolism - Learn How Hormones and Peptides Can Finally Unlock Fat Loss Without More Willpower

If you feel like you are eating clean, working out, staying consistent, and your body still will not respond, you are not alone. In this episode, Dr. Cassie Smith sits down with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, M.D., to explore why weight loss resistance often shows up in midlife and why it is rarely about willpower.

They unpack how hormones, sleep, stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance can combine to slow progress, and how peptides can be used as strategic tools when they are properly prescribed, sourced, and monitored. You will also hear a practical breakdown of peptide categories, plus an important safety conversation about avoiding online sourcing and quick clinic prescribing.

What if your lingering thyroid and hormone symptoms aren’t a lab problem at all, but a gut inflammation issue hiding beneath “normal” results?

In this episode of Hormones, Metabolism, and You, Dr. Cassie Smith sits down with holistic nutritionist and physician consultant Josh Dech to explore a core idea many patients never hear: your thyroid and hormone symptoms may be driven by hidden gut inflammation, even when labs look “normal.” Josh explains how gut dysfunction can interfere with hormone signaling, disrupt metabolism, and fuel chronic fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn symptoms. They also discuss common root drivers like toxins, infections, nutrient deficiencies, poor sleep, and chronic stress, plus practical steps to support healing without extreme protocols.

What if weight loss isn’t about discipline, motivation, or trying harder, but about understanding what your hormones are actually doing?

In this powerful New Year mash-up episode of Hormones, Metabolism, and You, Dr. Cassie Smith brings together the most impactful insights from three standout conversations to explain why traditional diets fail so many women and what truly supports sustainable weight loss.

Drawing from expert guidance by Tamar Samuels, Shana Hussin, and Terri DeNeui, this episode reframes weight gain as a hormonal and metabolic signal, not a personal failure.

Listeners will learn how stress, gut health, insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, and age-related hormone shifts quietly sabotage fat loss, and why fasting, restriction, and one-size-fits-all diets often make things worse.

This episode is especially for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who feel stuck, exhausted, and frustrated despite doing “all the right things.”

Episode Highlights

Key Topics Covered

Final Takeaway

This New Year, the answer isn’t another diet, cleanse, or restriction plan.

Sustainable weight loss happens when you:

Your body isn’t broken. It’s communicating.

What if your hormone symptoms aren’t a hormone problem at all, but warning signs of deeper toxic, gut, and immune stress your body has been carrying for years?

In this powerful episode of Hormones Metabolism in You, Dr. Cassie Smith sits down with Dr. Kelly K. McCann, MD, to unpack why hormone symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, mood changes, and stubborn metabolic dysfunction are often not hormone problems at all.

Instead, Dr. McCann explains how these symptoms are signals pointing to deeper root causes such as environmental toxin exposure, mold, gut dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Together, they challenge the conventional approach of treating hormones in isolation and highlight why normal lab results do not always mean the body is functioning optimally.

This conversation explores how everyday exposures from water contamination and plastics to non-stick cookware, pesticides, and personal care products can silently disrupt thyroid function, metabolism, and hormone signaling. The episode also dives into the critical gut hormone immune connection, mold related illness, nutrient depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the concept of the cell danger response.

About the Guest

Dr. Kelly K. McCann, MD is a board certified physician trained in internal medicine and pediatrics, with advanced training in integrative and functional medicine. Her work focuses on the impact of environmental exposures on human health, including mold illness, chemical toxicity, chronic infections, immune dysregulation, and mast cell activation syndrome.

Dr. McCann specializes in treating complex chronic illness by addressing root causes such as toxic burden, gut permeability, mitochondrial dysfunction, and nervous system imbalance. She is the founder of The Spring Center in Southern California and provides care to patients across multiple states. She also teaches and writes extensively on the intersection of environment, immunity, hormones, and healing.

What if many hormone, thyroid, and energy problems come down to a single overlooked molecule your body is quietly running out of?

In this episode of Hormones Metabolism in You, Dr. Cassie Smith sits down with nitric oxide expert Dr. Nathan Bryan to explore why nitric oxide is one of the most overlooked yet essential molecules in human health.

Together, they unpack nitric oxide’s powerful role in hormone signaling, thyroid function, gut motility, immune defense, blood flow, and mitochondrial energy production. Dr. Bryan explains how nitric oxide deficiency can contribute to fatigue, hormone resistance, insulin resistance, poor circulation, and chronic inflammation, even when labs appear “normal.”

They also discuss how modern lifestyle factors such as aging, chronic stress, poor diet, fluoride exposure, antiseptic mouthwash use, and long term antacid use can significantly impair nitric oxide production. Most importantly, this conversation offers practical, science backed strategies listeners can apply immediately to support nitric oxide levels and improve overall hormone health, energy, and longevity.

What if the biggest problem in modern medicine isn’t a lack of treatments, but a lack of training in nutrition, gut health, and root cause care?

In this episode, Dr. Cassie Smith welcomes back Dr. Johnny Hadac, now a family medicine resident, to reflect on how his medical training has evolved and where traditional healthcare continues to fall short. Together, they unpack the realities of residency, the lack of meaningful nutrition and gut health education in medical training, and why chronic disease cannot be solved without addressing inflammation, hormones, and the gut.

Dr. Hadac shares what he has learned during his first months of residency, how functional medicine principles have shaped his approach to patient care, and why proactive, relationship based medicine leads to better outcomes. The conversation also explores the broken insurance driven healthcare system, the importance of provider education, and how social media can help close the knowledge gap.
