Ever wonder why your labs look “normal” but you still don’t feel well? Dr. Kevin Smith breaks down how functional medicine gets to the root cause of fatigue, thyroid issues, and autoimmune conditions—helping you finally understand what your body’s been trying to say.
If you’ve ever been told “everything looks fine,” but you know something isn’t, this episode is for you.
Dr. Kevin Smith, board-certified clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner, joins me to unpack why so many people stay stuck in a cycle of symptoms—and what it really takes to find lasting answers.
We discuss why modern healthcare often treats symptoms instead of causes, how autoimmune and thyroid conditions are commonly misunderstood, and the role your lifestyle, nutrition, and even stress play in shaping your genetic expression.
Dr. Smith also explains why you can’t “cure” autoimmune disease—but you can calm it down, bring it into remission, and start living again.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
- The biggest difference between functional and conventional medicine
- Why thyroid and autoimmune conditions are so often mismanaged
- How your environment, nutrition, and sleep impact your genes
- What “root cause care” looks like in real life
