Host Dr. Steve Noseworthy sits down with Dr. Joseph Smith — chiropractic neurologist, founder of Atlas Health and creator of the upcoming Nuvius seminar series — to explore how the brain, hormones and immune system interact to drive chronic illness and recovery. They discuss Joseph’s clinical evolution, credentials and the approach behind Nuvius: blending functional neurology with in-exam nutritional trials.

Topics include the neuroendocrine-immune “super-system,” the role of Allostasis, common clinical blind spots, patient belief and behavior, long COVID, gut–brain interactions, and practical bedside exams (12 core tests) you can use immediately. Dr. Smith explains how to localize dysfunction, trial nutrition in real time, and prioritize interventions for faster, safer results.

Listeners can expect a mix of theory and hands-on clinical strategy aimed at clinicians who want pragmatic tools to integrate brain-based assessment and nutrition into everyday practice. For dates and registration, Dr. Smith and Nuvius seminars are available via Apex Seminars and Atlas Health.
