Ready for the ins and outs of stool testing? We’re right there
with you. This week, we’re joined by Cat Simmons, RDN as she covers
its varying approaches and how it compares to other types of
testing, as well as how stool testing can offer insight into
conditions such as leaky gut, skin conditions, and more. Each
Thursday, join Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar, board certified
dermatologists, as they share the latest evidence based research in
integrative dermatology. For access to CE/CME courses, become a

Cat Simmons is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)
and has spent most of her career in the functional laboratory
diagnostic space. Her educational background has a dual appointment
in exercise physiology and dietetics with a master’s degree in
metabolic physiology. She has a decade of experience in advanced
laboratory interpretation, education, and counseling in addition to
clinical practice. She takes a functional and integrative approach
to health with a firm belief that “all disease begins in the gut.”
Her research interests and passions include insulin signaling,
nutrient metabolism, and weight loss physiology. Cat also
is a certified diabetes care and education specialist. In clinical
practice, Cat specializes in cardiovascular prevention,
sport performance nutrition; gluten sensitivity, celiac and
autoimmune nutrition; the gut-brain connection, and of course all
things related to the digestion, the microbiome and intestinal
health where she has chosen to “niche down.”
As a clinician and educator, not only is Cat a
member of the Medical Education team at Diagnostic Solutions Lab,
but also the interdepartmental team coordinator playing a pivotal
role in education program design. Cat is a graduate from
the University of Florida (Go Gators!). She moved to Colorado in
2007 to attend graduate school at Colorado State University.
Today, Cat lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband,
young daughter, and dog. They enjoy all the city has to offer, but
frequent the mountains often for hiking, snowboarding, and
camping.
