In this wide-ranging and refreshingly practical conversation, Physician Assistant Patty Gilbert joins Steve to explore what it really takes to help patients feel and function at their best. Patty shares her journey from athletic training to rural healthcare, her 15+ years of treating allergies and asthma with immunotherapy, and why understanding the gut–skin–immune connection is essential for lasting relief. She also breaks down the often-misunderstood world of hormone replacement therapy—what’s safe, what’s effective, and why both women and men can benefit from human-identical hormone support as they age. Along the way, Patty reflects on her years working with professional rodeo athletes, the realities of rural medicine, and the importance of ownership, hard work, and learning from life’s crossroads. If you’re looking for a grounded, insightful take on allergies, hormones, and whole-body wellness, this episode delivers real-world wisdom with heart.
