Could Your Period Problems Be Solved With a More Functional Approach?
In this episode of Hormones, Metabolism, and You, Dr. Cassie Smith is joined by Dr. Shawn Tassone—known as America’s Holistic Gynecologist—for an eye-opening conversation about periods, PCOS, hormone therapy, and why women are often underserved by conventional gynecology. Together, they unpack the myths around hormonal care, discuss integrative strategies for menstrual and menopausal symptoms, and explore how stress, gut health, and even modern medical bias influence women’s health outcomes.
Dr. Tassone shares his deeply personal story of entering gynecology after watching his mother suffer from ovarian cancer, and how that journey led him to pursue a PhD in mind-body medicine and a more holistic practice. This powerful episode shines a light on the frustrations many women experience in conventional care and offers science-based, integrative solutions that truly address the root cause.
💡 Whether you're struggling with painful periods, irregular cycles, PCOS, perimenopause, or hormone confusion—this episode will leave you feeling seen, informed, and empowered.
🔑 Key Topics Covered
Why painful periods, mood swings, and irregular bleeding are not “normal”
