In this fascinating episode, Dr. Derrick Hines sits down with Dr. Kevin Tracey — a neurosurgeon and pioneering researcher — to explore how the nervous system controls inflammation and healing. They uncover the groundbreaking science behind bioelectronic medicine, the vagus nerve’s role in immunity, and how the brain communicates with the immune system to regulate inflammation and recovery.

Topics Covered:

-- How the brain and nervous system control inflammation

-- The discovery of the “inflammatory reflex” and its implications for disease treatment

-- How vagus nerve stimulation can reduce pain and improve healing

-- The connection between immune function, trauma, and neuroplasticity

-- The future of bioelectronic medicine and its potential to replace pharmaceuticals

🎧 Tune in to discover how your nervous system holds the key to controlling inflammation, healing faster, and living healthier.
