Back to EpisodesWhy You're Still Sick: Thyroid, Inflammation and the Root Causes Most Doctors Miss With Dr. Kevin Smith
Description
Still tired, inflamed, and not getting real answers? This episode might change how you think about your health.
In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Dr Kevin Smith, a functional medicine practitioner with over 25 years of practice, to explore why so many people treat symptoms without ever asking what's actually driving them.
We go deep on thyroid health, chronic inflammation, blood sugar, supplements, wearable technology, GLP-1s, and the root-cause framework that changes how you think about your body.
If you've ever felt tired, foggy, inflamed, or as if something is off but can't pinpoint why, this conversation is worth your time.
In this episode:
- Why treating symptoms is not the same as solving the problem
- What's often missed when it comes to thyroid health and testing
- How chronic inflammation may be connected to more than you realise
- Why blood sugar regulation matters beyond diabetes
- How to think about supplements, wearables, and health tracking
- The fundamentals that still matter most: food, hydration, sleep, movement, and stress
Note: This conversation explores ideas and questions worth considering. Always work with a qualified health professional for personal medical decisions.
