Elise and the Guide start with the basics: what your body actually does after an injury, why inflammation shows up first, and how the repair crew arrives in order.
Episode 16: The Future of Regenerative Medicine
Where the field is heading: bioprinting, mini organs used for testing, and gene editing research. Plus a reminder to be careful with unproven treatments.
Joints, tendons and bones
Episode 2: Elbow Tendon Tears and Repair
This one is about common elbow injuries from repeated motions, why damaged tendon tissue is tricky, and how regenerative options fit in alongside physical therapy.
Episode 4: Shoulder Wear and the Rotator Cuff
The shoulder moves more than almost any other joint, and that comes with a trade-off. The episode covers why wear builds up quietly and why rehab matters.
Episode 5: Chiropractic and Medicine as Teammates
How chiropractic care and conventional medicine can work like teammates, starting with gentler approaches first. Coordinated care is the big idea.
Episode 6: The Knee: Many Parts, One Joint
The knee has a lot of moving parts. The episode explains why it is rarely just one problem, and how therapy and everyday habits fit with the treatments the book describes.
Episode 12: Bones, Cartilage and Tendons
Bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments all heal differently. The episode explains why, and why early support and physical therapy matter.

A plain-English tour of the four heart valves and how they work, plus what researchers are exploring for the future of valve care.

Why the heart heals the way it does after a heart attack, and why the weeks that follow matter. It is all framed as going alongside standard cardiac care.

How blood sugar and insulin work, the difference between type 1 and type 2, and what researchers are studying. It always goes alongside regular care.
Brain, immune system and wounds
Episode 7: Brain Health and Inflammation
How inflammation affects the brain, and what researchers are studying to calm it down. The tone stays careful, since these conditions are complicated.
Episode 8: Autoimmune Conditions and Immune Balance
What it means when the immune system turns on the body, and the idea of rebalancing the immune system instead of just turning it down.
Episode 11: Chronic Wounds That Will Not Heal
Why some wounds get stuck instead of healing, and the things that have to be sorted out first, like blood flow and pressure.
Skin, hair and sexual health
Episode 13: Sexual Health and Blood Flow
A calm, matter-of-fact look at sexual health as regular health, tied to blood flow, hormones and stress, and what the book says about supporting healthy tissue.
Episode 14: Hair Follicles and Hair Loss
How hair follicles shrink and cycle through growth phases, and how growth signals work. The focus is on gradual change over months.
Episode 15: Skin, Collagen and Elastin
