Send us Fan Mail Ever feel like navigating the dietary world is akin to charting a course through the Bermuda Triangle? Fear not! In our latest episode, we're your compass to understanding low-carb diets and how they meld with our individual health odysseys. Join me as I reveal why nutrition is far from a one-size-fits-all affair, exploring the nuances of plans from paleo to Mediterranean-keto and shedding light on managing conditions like IBS and SIBO through diet. With a focus on personalized approaches, we tackle the often misunderstood realm of anti-nutrients such as lectins and phytic acid, their impact on health, and the significance of prep methods to lessen their effects.
Hitting a wall with your health goals can be disheartening, but could the culprit be your carb intake? We delve into the importance of metabolic flexibility and discovering your body's unique carb threshold. This session breaks down the spectrum of low-carb diets, from the modest reduction to the more extreme carnivore approach, and how to incrementally adjust your carb consumption to achieve optimal health without sacrificing energy or mental clarity. Plus, I share a strategy to utilize electrolytes, smoothing out the transition to fewer carbs, so you can maintain both hydration and nutrient balance.

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.
