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.

Regenerative Agriculture: Improving The Food We Eat And The Natural Products We Use With Dr. Jeffrey Burke
On today's episode we speak with Dr. Jeffrey Burke and we’re diving into a movement that sits right at the intersection of health and sustainability. We are going to learn all about regenerative agriculture—what it is, why it matters, and how it ties into the quality of the food we eat and the natural health products we use. It’s a really eye-opening conversation about how the way we treat the soil can actually impact our health on a pretty deep level.
Dr. Jeffrey Burke is a respected leader in the Natural Products industry with over
40 years of experience spanning management, product formulation, research, and development. A renowned lecturer, educator, and author, he currently serves as the Director of Education for Kokora Life, a company dedicated to creating Certified Organic and Certified Regenerative herbal products. In his role, Dr. Burke ensures the public has access to the latest health insights and remedies.
Previously, he hosted a 42-year-running National Radio Talk Show, where he interviewed industry experts and shared groundbreaking health information.
Now, through his podcast Honest Health with Jeffrey Burke, he continues to educate and inspire, interviewing top figures in health, wellness, and beyond.
Learning Points:
• What is regenerative agriculture and how does it differ from sustainable or conventional farming?
• How do regenerative methods impact soil health, and why is it so important?
• What role do consumers play in supporting regenerative agriculture?
