In this episode my guest is Dr. Kevin J. Tracey and we are discussing one of the most fascinating and revolutionary discoveries in modern medicine — the link between the vagus nerve, the inflammatory reflex, and the body’s innate ability to heal.
For years, inflammation has been seen as a silent driver behind chronic illness — from autoimmune disease and depression to heart disease and neurodegeneration. But what if the body already has a built-in mechanism to control it?
Dr. Tracey is the president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health, a pioneer of vagus nerve research and author of The Great Nerve. A leader in the scientific fields of inflammation and neuroscience, his lab studies vagus nerve stimulation and bioelectronic medicine. His contributions include first identifying the therapeutic action of monoclonal anti-TNF antibodies and discovering the specific reflex control of immunity by the nervous system, called the “inflammatory reflex.” These discoveries launched the new scientific field called bioelectronic medicine, which investigates the therapeutic applications of vagus nerve stimulation to cure disease.
Dr. Tracey, a neurosurgeon, pursued studies of inflammation after the mysterious death of a toddler from sepsis who was in his care. His lab has since revealed molecular mechanisms of inflammation and identified the use of vagus nerve stimulation to treat it. An inventor on more than 120 U.S. patents and the author of more than 450 scientific publications, he is among the most highly cited scientists in the world. He co-founded the Global Sepsis Alliance, is the author of Fatal Sequence (Dana Press) and is a national and international lecturer.

Building A Reputable Supplement Brand with Logan Chierotti
In this episode, we speak with Logan Chierotti and exploring what it really takes to build a quality supplement brand in a crowded and often confusing market. We’ll break down why science isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of safety, effectiveness, and trust. We’ll talk about the growing demand for transparency, and how it helps brands stand out by putting the consumer first. All in an effort to make you feel confident about what you are buying and putting into your body.
Logan is a seasoned entrepreneur with a wealth of experience in consumer products, marketing and supplements. His journey includes founding Physician’s Choice in 2017, which quickly grew to over $200 million per year in revenue by 2024. The brand achieved nationwide retail distribution in major stores like Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, CVS and became the top probiotic brand on Amazon. Logan’s expertise extends to team building, retail strategies, comprehensive marketing approaches, exit planning, Amazon marketplace strategies and optimizing direct-to-consumer channels.
His journey into wellness is personal. After experiencing hearing loss in his teens, he explored homeopathic solutions, restored his hearing, and developed a lifelong passion for science-backed health.
Learning Points:
• Why science matters in supplement formulations
• Why maintaining transparency is key for consumer trust
• What consumers should look for in choosing a supplement
