Inflammation Nation: Science Informed Wellness with Dr. Steven NoseworthyShow Notes
Send us Fan Mail In Part 1 this two part series I talk to Adam Poehlman - a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with a large online following. Adam is a true fitness influencer, who leverages the internet to change peoples' lives every day.
We delve beyond the mere physical aspects of exercise, unraveling the psychological chains that shackle us to our current selves, and exploring wellness culture that can serve as a powerfully motivating force.
Evolving from the intimidating racks of a university weightlifting club to the nurturing embrace of a community gym, our story is one of growth, challenge, and enlightenment. Witness the remarkable neurological adaptations that can unlock astonishing physical potential, akin to removing a governor from an engine, allowing it to race unbounded. Feel the camaraderie that flourishes among the clanks of weights, where every drop of sweat cements a bond of mutual respect and shared victory, and where even the most daunting gym anxiety can be vanquished through incremental progress and unwavering support.
As we close our inspiring session, we stress the significance of setting meaningful, attainable fitness goals that resonate deeply with our personal values. Our discussion transcends exercise tips, touching on the intrinsic motivation that fuels our discipline, the mental toughness carved out of adversity, and the stark contrast between our sedentary lifestyle and our ancestors' naturally active one.

Swapping wheat products for boxed "Gluten-Free" foods and snacks isn't a health upgrade—it's trading one inflammatory hazard for another. If you’ve eliminated wheat to help fix chronic fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, or an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto's, your first move was likely buying products labeled "Gluten-Free." But if you're still bloated, exhausted, and inflamed despite eating GF bread and GF snacks, you may be falling into the commercial gluten-free trap. In this episode, Dr. Steven Noseworthy cuts through the grocery store marketing hype. Learn the difference between naturally gluten-free foods and processed GF substitutes, how industrial cross-contamination occurs in farming and processing, what voluntary manufacturer warning labels actually mean, and why non-gluten grains like corn, oats, and rice can trigger molecular mimicry flares.

Is gluten really wrecking your thyroid and brain? Part 2 breaks down the devastating effects of amylase trypsin inhibitors, where celiac disease ends and gluten/wheat sensitivity begubs, and the real evidence on gluten's cross-reactivity with Hashimoto's — plus how to test for it properly.
Gluten causes a transient leaky gut in everyone who eats it — not just people who are gluten sensitive. In Part 1 of this two-part deep dive, Dr. Steven Noseworthy breaks down what gluten actually is, the two "universal" reactions your gut has to wheat whether you're sensitive or not, and why food allergy, food sensitivity, and food intolerance are three completely different things your doctor may be using interchangeably.
Right now, someone is sitting across from a psychiatrist about to get a prescription for anxiety that has nothing to do with the real root cause. In this episode, Dr. Steven Noseworthy breaks down the hidden mechanism connecting blood sugar crashes and anxiety — not two separate problems, but one feedback loop.
If you have Hashimoto's, you've probably been taught that the goal is to get your TPO antibodies down. Dr. Noseworthy walks through why that's the wrong target for almost everyone, what your antibody numbers are actually telling you, and the handful of things — starting with how you take your thyroid medication — that actually move the needle on how you feel.
