Potential indications beyond arthritis

What if the key to healing your body, calming your mind, and extending your life has been inside you the whole time?

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most important scientists alive today, Dr. Kevin Tracey, and I do not say that lightly. Kevin is a neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and the pioneer behind a discovery that could fundamentally change how we treat disease, mental health, and inflammation. I have wanted him on this show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. This is one of those episodes where you grab a notebook, because it will completely shift how you think about your body, your brain, and your health.

We break down the vagus nerve in plain English and why it may be the master regulator of inflammation, stress, trauma, and longevity. Kevin explains how chronic inflammation is linked to most of the diseases that shorten our lives and how the nervous system acts like the brakes that keep inflammation from spinning out of control. He walks us through the groundbreaking FDA approved therapy using vagus nerve stimulation that is already helping people with rheumatoid arthritis get out of wheelchairs, return to work, and reclaim their lives. And yes, he believes this is just the beginning.

We also go deep into the connection between childhood trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and physical disease. Kevin explains how unhealed stress can leave a biological imprint on the nervous system for decades and how that imprint can quietly drive inflammation throughout the body. We talk about depression, anxiety, heart rate variability, and why your body may be stuck in fight or flight without you even realizing it. This is not theory. This is real science, explained in a way that actually makes sense.

Then we get practical. We talk about daily habits that cost nothing but can make a real difference. Breathing, prayer, meditation, cold exposure, exercise, sleep, and why doing hard things on purpose can build both mental resilience and physical health. Kevin is refreshingly honest about what science knows, what it does not know yet, and what questions we should be asking next. That humility is exactly why I trust his work.

This conversation left me fired up, hopeful, and honestly in awe of what is coming next in medicine. If you care about your health, your performance, your longevity, or understanding how your mind and body truly work together, this is a must listen. And do yourself a favor and grab his book The Great Nerve. There is not a wasted page.
