You know that swelling around a fresh cut or the soreness after twisting your ankle? That’s inflammation doing its job—protecting and healing. But there’s another kind, the kind you can’t see or feel right away, that can quietly chip away at your health for years.

In this episode, Dr. Odell discusses chronic inflammation—the “silent fire” that may be behind your fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight, mood swings, and even serious diseases. He’ll share how it starts, why it sticks around, and the surprisingly everyday things that keep it burning. More importantly, Dr. Odell will reveal simple, powerful ways to cool it down so you can feel clearer, lighter, and more energized.

If you’ve been feeling out of sorts lately, it could be your body’s way of sending you a message. Join us for a fresh perspective on health and wellbeing—one that looks beyond symptoms to address the root cause, and empowers your body to regulate, adapt, regenerate, and self-heal. Tune in—you may discover just what you’ve been missing!

We often think of scars as just faded reminders of past injuries—something cosmetic, maybe annoying, but nothing more. But what if a scar, even one from years ago, is quietly interfering with your body’s ability to heal?

In this episode, Dr. Odell discusses a lesser-known concept from bioregulatory medicine: scar interference fields. These aren’t just surface issues. They can create hidden disruptions in your nervous system, block energy flow, and lead to symptoms that seem totally unrelated to where the scar is.

He’ll also explain what interference fields are, how they work, and why they’re often missed in conventional medicine. You’ll hear how old surgical scars, c-section incisions, or even childhood injuries might be sending the wrong signals through your body—keeping it stuck in patterns of dysfunction.

From therapies like neural injections and cold laser to castor oil packs, trauma release, and somatic work, we’ll explore practical tools to reset these blocked circuits and help the body finally move forward.

We also share real-life stories of people who found unexpected relief—physically and emotionally—once their scars were treated properly. If you’ve ever dealt with symptoms that don’t add up or healing that seems stuck, this episode might just connect the dots.

Can you really heal your body from within—without medication or expensive treatments?

In this powerful episode of The Science of Self-Healing, Dr. Odell explores one of the most overlooked keys to physical and emotional wellness: the vagus nerve. Known as the "wandering nerve," the vagus connects your brain to your heart, gut, lungs, and more—regulating digestion, immune response, inflammation, and even your ability to feel calm and connected.

He’ll also explain the anatomy and function of this remarkable nerve, how it influences the autonomic nervous system, and why it's essential to your body's natural healing process. You’ll also discover the latest on polyvagal theory, how to improve vagal tone, and practical, accessible ways to stimulate the vagus nerve naturally—like breathwork, cold exposure, chanting, laughter, and even meaningful eye contact.

This episode isn't just science—it's an invitation to slow down, tune in, and awaken your body's deep wisdom to heal, restore, and thrive.

In today’s episode, Dr. Odell explores environmental illness—a growing but often overlooked health crisis caused by exposure to toxins in our everyday surroundings. From air and water pollution to pesticides, mold, and heavy metals, these hidden environmental threats can trigger a wide range of chronic symptoms—from fatigue and asthma to chemical sensitivities and immune dysfunction.

He'll explain:

• What environmental illness is
• How toxins like heavy metals, VOCs, and pesticides affect your body
• Why some people are more sensitive than others
• How to support your body’s natural detoxification systems
• Practical, holistic strategies to heal and protect yourself using bioregulatory medicine

Whether you're a practitioner or someone simply trying to live a cleaner, healthier life, this episode offers meaningful ideas to help you thrive in our increasingly toxic world.

 Fatigue isn’t just a side effect of modern life—it can be a sign of something far deeper. In this episode, Dr. Odell uncovers the complex world of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and its surprising link to the powerhouses of our cells: the mitochondria. You’ll discover how mitochondrial dysfunction may lie at the heart of the brain fog, muscle pain, and post-exertional crashes that define this debilitating condition.

We explore the latest science behind energy production, how viruses and inflammation disrupt mitochondrial function, and why fatigue often lingers long after an illness. More importantly, we offer practical, evidence-based strategies for supporting your mitochondrial health—from targeted nutrients and antioxidants to lifestyle therapies and cutting-edge emerging treatments.

Whether you live with chronic fatigue or are just curious about how your body makes—and loses—energy, this episode will transform the way you think about fatigue and healing.

 In this episode, we dive into the tiny but powerful molecule called NAD+ — the fuel your cells need to create energy, repair damage, and keep you feeling young and strong.

As we age, NAD+ levels drop, and that can lead to low energy, slower healing, and more health problems. But here’s the exciting part: science is showing that we can boost NAD+ through smart lifestyle habits and supplements — helping improve energy, brainpower, heart health, and even slow down aging.

We’ll break it all down in simple terms:

 ✅ What NAD+ does in your body

 ✅ Why it matters for your health and aging

 ✅ How to naturally boost your NAD+ levels

 ✅ What new research is saying about its future

If you want to unlock more energy, sharper thinking, and better long-term health, this episode is for you! Tune in and learn how to help your body thrive — from the inside out.

 Prediabetes is not a life sentence—it’s a wake-up call. In this essential episode, we dive into the often-overlooked world of prediabetes, a silent yet widespread condition affecting over 96 million adults in the U.S. More than 80% don’t even know they have it.

You’ll learn how this metabolic dysfunction develops, why early detection is key, and what practical steps you can take to prevent it from escalating into type 2 diabetes. From navigating food labels and choosing the right fats, to understanding the power of intermittent fasting, mindful eating, and strategic supplementation—this episode is your full-spectrum guide to prevention and metabolic health.

You’ll also get my personal recipe for fenugreek and cinnamon tea, a time-tested remedy for balancing blood sugar.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or simply proactive about your health, this episode gives you the knowledge and motivation to act. Because when it comes to prediabetes, doing nothing is the most dangerous choice of all.
