Hello! I'm Dr. Rao. 

Four Board Certifications. A National Media Presence. Health Education That Reaches Millions.

I’m Dr. Supriya Rao, a practicing gastroenterologist, speaker, and the physician behind GutsyGirlMD. I bring medical expertise to the health conversations happening everywhere, from the exam room and conference stage to national headlines and social media.

My perspective is grounded in extensive training: an undergraduate degree from MIT, a medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine, an internal medicine internship and residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and a gastroenterology fellowship at Boston Medical Center. I’m board-certified in internal medicine, gastroenterology, obesity medicine, and lifestyle medicine, connecting specialties that are too often discussed separately.

Today, I’m a managing partner at Integrated Gastroenterology Consultants in the greater Boston area, where I direct the Medical Weight Management Center and lead the motility program. I also serve as Director of Medical Weight Loss at Lowell General Hospital. My work keeps me closely connected to the questions, challenges, and decisions people face every day.

Clinical Expertise. National Visibility. Meaningful Reach.

My insights appear in more than 200 media articles each year, including coverage in Women’s Health, Healthline, HuffPost, Real Simple, Fortune and more. Through GutsyGirlMD, my Instagram content has reached 20 million, bringing conversations about gut health, nutrition, metabolic health, and women’s wellness to audiences far beyond my practice.

I make complex science clear, compelling, and useful. Whether I’m explaining a health headline, speaking to a live audience, or collaborating on an educational campaign, I bring a practicing physician’s judgment and a storyteller’s ability to connect.

Bring Medical Credibility to Your Next Conversation.

For conferences, interviews, panels, and brand partnerships, I bring the depth of four medical specialties, the perspective of a practicing physician, and experience connecting with audiences at scale. My approach combines scientific credibility with warmth, clarity, and practical relevance.

Whether you’re planning an event, developing a campaign, or looking for an expert voice for your next story, I’d love to help you create something that informs, engages, and makes an impact.
