Dr. Kevin Smith
Chiropractor & Functional Medicine Expert | Root Cause Health Detective | Pittsburgh
Dr. Kevin Smith is a trailblazing chiropractor and functional medicine expert from Pittsburgh. On Space Tomatoes S2-EP9 he shared his journey from treating back pain to uncovering root causes of chronic issues like thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases (including Hashimoto's), diabetes, and inflammation. He breaks down sneaky sugars in everyday foods, insulin's role in energy crashes, the myth of cholesterol villains, and practical tips for ditching bad habits. His detective-style approach to personalized care helps clients nationwide via remote consultations. If you're battling brain fog, fatigue, or mysterious symptoms, Dr. Smith's insights will get you proactive about your health.
He returned on Space Tomatoes S3-EP9 ("Why Am I Still Sick?") to make the case that most "chronic" labels get managed rather than solved. The argument: stop the pills for a couple of days and the dashboard light comes back. He walks through T4 versus T3, why Hashimoto's is the default American story, how insurance economics designs your lab panel before you sit down, gabapentin and GLP-1 rebound, and the line that belongs on a bumper sticker: if your doctor is not trying to cure you, you do not have a doctor, you have a drug dealer. His forthcoming book, *Why Am I Still Sick?*, is due soon.
