ReversABLE

What if the story you tell yourself about your health is not entirely coming from your mind—but is being influenced by what is happening inside your body? In this episode of ReversABLE , Josh Dech sits down with Kyle Gray for a conversation about the intersection of gut health, inflammation, biology, emotions, language, and personal identity . Kyle shares his own decade-long health journey, including Hashimoto's, gut health problems, fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and the anxiety and self-judgment that accompanied them. His experience raises a powerful question: when your biology makes you feel terrible, how much of the negative story you tell yourself is actually a reflection of your circumstances—and how much is simply your brain trying to explain the feeling? The conversation challenges the simplistic idea that you can simply "think positive" and overcome chronic health problems. Instead, Kyle argues that biological health and belief can influence one another. Improving digestion and addressing underlying health problems may create greater access to positive emotional states, while the language and beliefs we repeatedly use can influence our emotions, behavior, physiology, and relationships. Josh and Kyle explore how gut dysbiosis and inflammation can become intertwined with anxiety, self-worth, imposter syndrome, and hopelessness , as well as how people can begin identifying the stories running underneath their symptoms. Kyle also introduces a practical process for examining those stories word by word—using language to move from helplessness toward agency and purpose. For anyone struggling with chronic gut symptoms, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune issues, fatigue, anxiety, or the feeling that their health has become part of their identity, this episode offers a different lens on the root cause conversation : not as a replacement for addressing biology, but as another layer worth examining. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Gut Health, Dysbiosis, Inflammation, And The Biological Origins Of Feelings The Relationship Between Biology, Emotions, Thoughts, And Personal Stories How Chronic Symptoms Can Become Self-Judgment, Shame, And Imposter Syndrome Language, Self-Talk, Affirmations, And Changing The Words We Use Finding Purpose And Strength Inside Painful Health Experiences The Practical Process For Identifying And Reframing Limiting Beliefs Communicating Chronic Illness To Family, Partners, And Healthcare Professionals The Role Of Hope, Possibility, And Changing Beliefs In Health Education More from Kyle Gray: Website: thestoryengine.co Instagram: @heykylegray Facebook: Kyle Gray Youtube: Kyle Gray X: @kylethegray Listen To Kyle's Podcast: The Story Engine Podcast Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review Need help with your gut?

Josh Dech sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith , a dual board-certified endocrinologist and founder of Modern Endocrine, to unpack why testosterone matters in women and why hormone health cannot always be separated from gut health, stress, sleep, metabolism, and the microbiome. The conversation challenges the common perception that testosterone is primarily a "male hormone." Dr. Smith explains that women produce testosterone through the ovaries and adrenal glands and discusses the broad role she sees it playing in mood, libido, muscle mass, recovery, fertility, thyroid function and overall wellbeing. From there, the conversation moves into what Dr. Smith sees as a major root-cause issue: chronic stress . Rather than defining stress purely as emotional distress, she describes the cumulative effects of poor sleep, excessive workloads, lack of sunlight and movement, late-night light exposure, social media, and modern "go-go-go" lifestyles. She connects these factors to gut dysfunction and discusses dysbiosis, gut permeability, immune activation, insulin, cortisol and downstream hormone changes. Sleep becomes another major focus, including circadian rhythm, morning sunlight, consistent bedtimes and how couples might divide nighttime responsibilities after having children. The episode also examines the gut microbiome from infancy, including birth, antibiotics, nutrition and other early-life factors, before turning toward solutions. Dr. Smith explains how Modern Endocrine approaches complex cases through detailed history-taking, laboratory testing, gut testing, lifestyle interventions, coaching and, where appropriate, hormone or other therapeutic support. Ultimately, the episode delivers a simple message: don't just chase symptoms—look for the root causes, start with the fundamentals, and make sustainable changes one step at a time.

Josh sits down with Steven, founder of Masa Chips, to explore how products like cottonseed oil, Crisco, and modern vegetable oils entered the food supply, and why many processed foods bear little resemblance to the foods humans historically consumed. Together they examine how industrial agriculture, food processing, pesticides, and modern manufacturing practices may influence gut health, inflammation, and overall wellness from a root-cause perspective. Steven also shares his personal journey through chronic digestive issues, immune challenges, and pancreatitis as a child—an experience that ultimately led him to study nutrition and build a company focused on producing snacks using traditional preparation methods rather than modern shortcuts. The discussion explores topics including organic farming, regenerative agriculture, sourdough fermentation, nixtamalization, gluten, GMOs, glyphosate, beef tallow, ancestral diets, and why food quality often depends more on processing methods than individual ingredients alone. Rather than simply debating whether grains are "good" or "bad," the conversation focuses on how traditional cultures prepared foods to improve digestibility and nutrient availability.

Josh and Dr. Jason Shumard unpack why many people continue to develop complications despite improving their diet, exercising regularly, and taking medications exactly as prescribed. The conversation dives deep into the biology of insulin resistance, cellular dysfunction, chronic inflammation, toxic burden, and how environmental exposures such as mold, heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and processed foods may interfere with the body's natural ability to regulate blood sugar. Dr. Schumard explains why functional testing—including comprehensive blood analysis and toxin screening—can uncover hidden root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks. Josh and Dr. Schumard also discuss the powerful connection between gut health , the microbiome , immune function, detoxification pathways, and chronic disease. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, they explain how supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms may help restore metabolic function and improve long-term health. Throughout the episode, they challenge common assumptions about genetics, medications, and the standard approach to Type 2 diabetes while emphasizing that lifestyle remains essential—but often isn't the entire answer. Whether you're living with diabetes, struggling with chronic inflammation, experiencing unexplained fatigue, or simply looking to better understand the root cause approach to healing, this conversation offers an insightful look at how functional medicine views the body's remarkable ability to repair itself when underlying obstacles are identified and addressed.

For decades, people diagnosed with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have been told the same three things: the disease is genetic, autoimmune, and ultimately idiopathic—meaning nobody truly knows what causes it. But does today's scientific literature actually support those conclusions? Josh explains how the very terminology of those 3 words "genetic", "autoimmune", "random" is actually based on misinterpreted or ignored science, and that the narrative of it being impossible to fix, stops people from bothering to look. In this episode, he breaks down the history, the studies and the science to prove that bowel disease is not what they say it is.
