Episode 64: Inside Clinical Rounds: Real Cases on Digestion, Inflammation, and Stress

Hi everyone, it’s Dr. Sarah. In today’s “Inside Clinical Rounds,” I’ve passed the mic to our incredible team at Advanced Women’s Health. Dr. Alessandra leads this episode and is joined by Dr. Liz and Dr. Bianca for a deep dive into real clinical cases we’ve seen in the clinic.

These conversations are an inside look at how our practitioners think, how we work together, and how we approach complex women’s health cases through a truly integrative lens. We’re pulling back the curtain to show you what happens behind the scenes — and why individualized care matters so much.

From tricky digestion symptoms and bile acid diarrhea to the stress-inflammation connection and unexpected endometriosis presentations, this episode is packed with insight. Whether you’re a fellow practitioner or someone navigating these issues yourself, there’s something here for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How stress and nervous system dysregulation can show up as persistent digestive issues
• What bile acid diarrhea is, and why it’s often missed
• The role of inflammation in gut health and hormone balance
• How we identify and treat endotoxemia (a fancy word for toxins from the gut entering the bloodstream)
• What we look for in possible endometriosis cases beyond just period pain
• Why individualized testing and treatment plans make all the difference

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve been told your labs are “normal” but still feel off
• You’ve tried everything for your digestion and still don’t have answers
• You’re curious how stress could be affecting your physical symptoms
• You’re a practitioner who wants to sharpen your clinical lens
• You love seeing how real patients are supported with compassionate, evidence-based care

Thanks for listening,Dr. Sarah
