We’re witnessing an exciting shift in how we understand gut health and disease—and it’s all thanks to the powerful metabolites produced by the microbiome, like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and secondary bile acids. In today’s episode, Dr. Tom Fabian shares groundbreaking insights into how these postbiotics influence intestinal barrier integrity, immune balance, and even muscle regeneration. These compounds are also connected to key processes like glucose metabolism and healthy aging. What’s truly fascinating is how this science is opening up new frontiers in treating IBS, metabolic conditions, and chronic gut issues. With the upcoming launch of Diagnostic Solution Laboratories’ StoolOMX test, an add-on to the GI-MAP, we now have a tool to measure these metabolites in clinical practice, making personalized and effective treatments more attainable. This is a pivotal moment in functional medicine that you don’t want to miss. ~DrKF FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE CONVERSATION! Get the Updated GI-MAP® Guide with StoolOMX™ Insights!

It’s very difficult (often impossible) to completely avoid many of the environmental toxins that can cause harm - like air pollution and forever chemicals that contaminate our water and food supply. But Drs. Bob and Rosalind Wright at Mount Sinai have a hopeful solution to this dilemma. They are pioneering the study of “resiliency factors,” not just “risk factors,” that can offset the risks of harmful exposures. It’s a fresh and welcome take on exposomics that I am very excited to share with you. For instance - did you know that omega-3 intake during pregnancy can protect against the development of asthma in the child, even if the child is exposed to known risk factors for asthma? Or that positive relationships (ones that create a sensitive, positive, caregiving environment) have been shown to potentially mitigate the effects of environmental toxins? As a practitioner, I am always looking to empower patients with real solutions to the health challenges we inevitably face and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

Join me and Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, my brilliant friend, scientist, and the powerhouse CEO of Pendulum, for our deepest dive yet into all things Akkermansia. This free-flowing conversation will take your understanding of this extraordinary strain to a whole new level. We’ll explore Akkermansia’s pivotal role in metabolic health—think cravings, weight regulation, A1C—and why we’re deficient in the first place. Plus, we’ll discuss its connection to stress, anxiety, and even neurodegenerative diseases. We’ll also dive into the hotly debated topic of Akkermansia’s impact on MS, unpacking both sides of the controversy. And, we’ll touch on its promising influence on hormonal balance, from infertility to menopause. As someone who's deeply invested in science, I’m personally bullish on Akkermansia and trust Pendulum’s products as part of my own foundational health stack.

For many struggling with depression, the message they often hear from traditional care is "just live with it" or "there’s nothing more we can do." In today’s episode, we’re challenging that narrative. I’m joined by Dr. Achina Stein and Silvia Covelli from the Healing Depression Project - a groundbreaking residential treatment and research program. Dr. Stein, a functional psychiatrist, and Silvia, who’s personally battled chronic depression, are offering a fresh approach to treatment-resistant depression. Their in-residence program, launching in March, takes a whole-person approach—integrating nutrition, lifestyle changes, trauma healing, and community support. And with research built into the program, they’re not just helping patients; they’re also paving the way to make this approach more accessible for everyone. If you’re ready to rethink depression treatment, this episode is for you. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://tinyurl.com/2t55s3y3 for the full list of links and resources.

We’re doing a deep dive into NAD, a molecule that has received a lot of attention but still confuses many of us, clinicians included. My guest today is able to unpack the complexities of NAD in a way you’ll find extremely illuminating and useful. I’m excited to have Dr. Greg Kelly Senior Director of Product Development at Qualia, back with us, explaining how NAD is foundational for energy, longevity, and overall cellular health. Dr. Kelly brings clarity to how NAD influences mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and pretty much all of the hallmarks of aging. Yet, problematically, it declines as we age. This episode will cover different NAD compounds, how deficiency might present clinically, and how to measure NAD reliably. Have a listen and get ready to expand your understanding around this essential compound. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

After my conversation with Dr. Greg Fahy in August, I realized that I had additional questions that we didn't have time to address the first time around. Importantly, since here I am studying the effects of dietary and lifestyle interventions on aging, I wanted to know his thoughts on the dietary components of the TRIMM study and beyond. Dr. Fahy shares his thoughts on my question and some others on side effects on different medication and supplement interventions, the mechanism by which he thinks the restoration of hair color occurred in some of his study participants, and how to think about (and feel motivated about!) incorporating safe exercise. This brief bonus podcast episode is just right for squeezing into your holiday schedule. Enjoy! ~DrKF Missed the first conversation with Dr. Greg Fahy?

The brain’s ability to recover after trauma is astonishing—and often overlooked in conventional care. In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, I sit down with Dr. David Musnick, a long-time friend and brilliant clinician, to explore how we can unlock the brain’s full potential for healing. Dr. Musnick challenges the standard of care for traumatic brain injuries and post-concussion syndrome, introducing a functional medicine approach that integrates advanced tools like Frequency-Specific Microcurrent, targeted nutritional strategies, and personalized interventions. His insights into the stages of recovery, the importance of addressing neuroinflammation, and the role of the gut-brain connection were a true "aha" for me. We also dive into groundbreaking methods for reversing secondary brain damage, a concept that could change everything for patients and practitioners alike. This conversation is packed with actionable takeaways and hope for those navigating brain injuries, cognitive impairment, or persistent post-concussion symptoms.

For anyone who has been paying attention, you may already know that the takeaways related to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from the original Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study have been completely overhauled. It’s about time! As a result, it’s not an understatement to say that we are in the midst of a total transformation in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and it’s essential that as providers we (1) get up to speed on the nuances of the new interpretations and (2) learn how to personalize the guidance we give. Dr. Allison Smith, from Precision Analytical, is really a bright, guiding light in this new era of hormone care. She joins me in this episode of New Frontiers to start to unpack some of those important considerations and share resources for where practitioners can learn more. She explains why more detailed hormone metabolite testing can provide answers to hormonal symptoms when standard serum measures of testosterone and estrogen are “normal.” She also shines a light on the need for understanding how our patients are metabolizing hormones, especially if they are on HRT as well as to optimize their long-term cardiovascular, bone, skin, and brain health.

How do we prevent cognitive decline before it even begins? The answer might not be what you think. I’m thrilled to share my conversation with Dr. Owen Phillips, a Stanford-trained neuroscientist and founder of BrainKey, who is helping to revolutionize brain care. His team is using AI technology to uncover subtle brain changes long before they result in disease—transforming the way we approach brain health. And here’s the kicker—Dr. Phillips reveals why protecting your brain actually starts with protecting your vasculature—No surprise when you consider it’s essential for feeding this power-hungry organ. This shift in thinking could change how we all approach cognitive health moving forward. We touch on heavy metal toxicity, long Covid, sports injuries and more, so if you’re ready to rethink brain health and prevention, this conversation will leave you with a fresh perspective.
