Feeling exhausted no matter how much you rest? Wondering if adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalance, or chronic stress are wrecking your health? In this episode, Juanique sits down with Dr. Brian Rodgers to break down the hidden connections between your adrenals, thyroid, mitochondria, and overall energy — and why most doctors miss adrenal burnout completely.

You’ll learn exactly why adrenal recovery is key for lasting hormone balance and how functional medicine takes a different approach to healing.

What You’ll Learn:

✔ How the HPA axis controls your stress, cortisol, and energy
✔ Why your mitochondria must be fixed before adrenal recovery can work
✔ How poor gut health blocks nutrient absorption and slows healing
✔ The three stages of adrenal burnout — and how to tell which you’re in
✔ Why chronic stress, over-exercising, and stimulants can backfire
✔ How functional medicine treats adrenal fatigue when conventional doctors won’t
✔ What CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) is — and why it shuts down healing

In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Dr. Rodgers and Juanique Grover unpack the powerful connection between liver health and hormone balance — and why true healing starts far upstream. They explain the "order of healing" (mindset → mitochondria → gut → liver → hormones) and why treating hormone issues without addressing liver health leads to more problems down the line. You'll learn how CIRS impacts mitochondria and hormone production, why the liver is crucial for hormone detoxification, and how sugar, insulin resistance, and gallbladder dysfunction tie into it all. They also break down why traditional lab ranges often miss liver stress, why cholesterol is a key liver marker, and how healing your liver is foundational for restoring energy, brain function, fertility, and overall vitality.

Key Takeaways

• Hormones are a symphony; imbalance creates dysfunction.
• True healing order: mindset → mitochondria → gut → liver → hormones.
• The liver is essential for detoxifying and converting hormones.
• CIRS severely disrupts mitochondrial energy and hormone balance.
• Signs of liver dysfunction: fatigue, mood swings, skin issues, heavy periods, brain fog.
• Proper nutrient absorption is critical for liver and hormone health.
• Cholesterol (made in the liver) is the backbone for hormone production.
• High LDL and insulin resistance often signal liver distress.
• High fructose consumption (especially from processed foods) damages liver function.
• Gallbladder health is critical for fat digestion and hormonal support.
• Post-gallbladder removal: ox bile supplementation is important.
• Healing liver and gut health leads to natural hormone balance — without relying solely on bioidentical hormones.
• Optimal lab ranges (not just "normal") are key for assessing liver and hormone health.
