Welcome back to Health Unlocked! In this episode, host Jasen Petersen has an eye-opening discussion that peels back the layers, literally, of the immune system. After catching up on alumni volleyball adventures and conference buzz, the conversation dives deep into why the phrase “support the immune system” is dangerously imprecise and how most of us misunderstand what immunity support actually means.

Jasen unpacks the concept of a “layered immune system,” revealing why focusing on specific layers, like the often-overlooked local innate immune system, is key to real healing and resilience, especially in the face of chronic disease. The show also explores the strengths and blind spots of the Integrative Functional Medicine (IFM) model, how precision medicine is (and isn’t) making headway, and practical ways practitioners and listeners can identify which “immune layers” their current strategies are really supporting.

Plus, Jasen shares compelling personal stories and real-world insights, including how tools like Lumen are changing the way we measure metabolic flexibility and support whole-body healing. Whether you’re a health professional or simply curious about what it really takes to unlock lifelong wellness, this episode will change the way you think about integrative medicine, chronic illness, and immune health.

Welcome back to Health Unlocked: The Power of Salutogenesis, where we explore the science and mystery behind healing and what it really means to achieve lifelong wellness. In this episode, host Jasen Petersen dive deep into a groundbreaking perspective on aging - not as inevitable wear and tear, but as a process of "unfinished healing."

Jasen unpacks the cell danger response (CDR) cycle and reveals how stress, both physical and emotional, can interrupt our body’s natural repair processes at the cellular level. Instead of seeing aging as just decline, Jasen shares research from Dr. Naviaux and others to reframe it as a backlog of repairs the body was never quite able to finish - leaving behind so-called "senescent" cells that subtly fuel dysfunction over time.

The conversation goes further, exploring why persistent stress leads to cellular roadblocks, how chronic pain and lingering injuries are signals of incomplete healing, and why most of us "don’t bounce back" as quickly in later years. You'll also hear about the emerging promise of salutogenic therapies designed to support the body’s self-repair - and why targeted cellular support, like Jasen’s own product “IBAL”, is at the cutting edge of anti-aging and preventative health.

Whether you’re interested in the science of longevity, new perspectives on daily wellness, or practical tips for supporting your body’s natural healing cycles, this episode is full of fascinating insights that will change the way you think about health and aging. Join us as we unlock the keys to healthier, more resilient living!
