Inflammation Nation: Science Informed Wellness with Dr. Steven Noseworthy
We live in an age where modern medicine has proven both its value, and its failures. Despite medical advances since the early 20th century, humanity is still plagued by largely preventable health issues. And many who seek help in modern medicine are left confused by their multitude of unresolved chronic symptoms, most of which are driven by chronic low grade inflammation. The good news is that 80% of what will help you recover the quality of life you have lost is under your control. By optimizing your diet and lifestyle, and changing how your body interacts with and responds to the environment, you can take control of your own health and become semi-independent of a broken healthcare system. ABOUT Dr. Steven Noseworthy is an internationally known Functional Medicine doctor and seminar speaker. Since 2008, he has taught thousands of doctors, of all kinds and from around the world, how to use a science-informed, systems-based approach to optimal health. This podcast is a consumer friendly version of many of the topics he teaches in his doctor-only Functional Medicine seminars.
