Could your gut be the missing piece behind your hormone imbalance, stubborn weight, fatigue, and blood sugar struggles? In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I'm joined by returning guest Dr. Cassie Smith, licensed naturopathic physician, founder of Modern Endocrine, and author of the new book Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones. Dr. Cassie explains why so many women spend years chasing hormone solutions without realizing that the health of their gut may be driving many of their symptoms. We discuss the fascinating relationship between gut health, estrogen metabolism, cortisol, insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic health, along with practical strategies you can begin implementing today. If you've been struggling with stubborn weight, digestive issues, hormone imbalance, fatigue, or simply feel like your body isn't responding the way it used to, this episode will help you understand why healing often starts in the gut.
