SCP podcast: The Heart Is Not a Pump: Healing After a Widowmaker Heart Attack with Dr. Stephen Hussey
What if everything you were told about your heart was missing the bigger picture? At 34, Dr. Stephen Hussey was doing everything “right.” He ate whole foods, exercised, avoided toxins, and kept his type 1 diabetes under tight control. On paper his labs looked great. Then he had a massive “widowmaker” heart attack. In this episode, Stephen shares how the hospital’s standard approach left him with more questions than answers, and how he chose a different path. He used infrared sauna, sunlight, grounding and circadian rhythm to bring his heart back to normal function within months. Over the next two years, a 70–99% blockage in his leg cleared to a normal artery. We get into ideas that challenge conventional cardiology. Stephen explains why he sees the heart less as a pressure pump and more as a vortexing hydraulic ram, and how infrared light and structured water help move blood, lymph and spinal fluid. He also covers why many heart attacks may be driven by nervous system imbalance rather than plaque alone, and why they spike on Monday mornings, holidays and after daylight saving time changes. The thread running through all of it is oscillation. Light and dark, warm and cold, stress and recovery: the body is built to move between them, and modern life keeps us stuck in one state. This conversation will change the way you think about your heart, your nervous system and your environment. Stephen closes with two simple, no-cost habits you can start tonight. Keep asking better questions, and live with MOJO, because MOJO means magic. In this episode, you’ll learn: How a health-conscious type 1 diabetic with “perfect” labs still had a 100% widowmaker blockage The infrared sauna, sunlight, grounding and circadian strategy Stephen used to recover his heart and reverse peripheral artery disease Why the heart may not be the main pump, with evidence from embryos and stopped-heart studies, plus Dr. Gerald Pollack’s research The three roles of the heart: vortexing the blood, slowing blood flow during exertion, and sensing coherence What structured water is, and how infrared light builds it while toxins and wireless signals break it down How nervous system imbalance can trigger heart attacks with no blockages (MINOCA), and the “dog on a leash” analogy for the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems Why heart attacks cluster on Monday mornings, holidays and daylight saving time changes The overlooked research of forensic pathologist Dr. Giorgio Baroldi suggesting some blockages may result from a heart attack rather than cause it Why oscillation and rhythm are the foundation of adaptability and health Two simple habits to start now: limit blue light after sunset, and stop eating 4–5 hours before bed to support melatonin, deep sleep and nighttime lymphatic flow #StopChasingPain #LiveWithMOJO #HeartHealth #StephenHussey #HeartDisease #CardiovascularHealth #InfraredLight #StructuredWater #NervousSystem #CircadianRhythm #Lymphatics #LymphaticHealth #Grounding #Sunlight #HeartAttackRecovery #Oscillation #Coherence #FunctionalHealth #HolisticHealth #ChronicPain #HealthPodcast #RethinkHealth

SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 56: Is Your Chronic Pain/Chronic Stress Because Of Your Eyes?
09/30/2026
SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 56: Is Your Chronic Pain/Chronic Stress Because Of Your Eyes?
In this Mini Podcast episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry explores the surprising connection between your eyes, nervous system, movement, balance, and chronic pain. Your eyes do far more than help you see. Eye movement communicates constantly with the vestibular system, cerebellum, brainstem, and the muscles that prepare your body for movement. That means problems with eye tracking, coordination, or gaze control may influence how you move, how you balance, and potentially where you experience persistent tension or discomfort. Dr. Perry breaks down the relationship between eye movement and the cerebellum—the part of the brain heavily involved in accuracy, balance, coordination, and timing—and explains why the principle “where the eyes go, the head goes, and the body goes” can be important when looking at chronic pain and recurring injuries. You’ll also learn how moving the eyes can activate the suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull, creating a potential connection between visual function, neck tension, headaches, and jaw discomfort. The episode also introduces the cranial nerves involved with vision and eye movement, including the optic, oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves, and why these pathways provide such a powerful window into brainstem and nervous-system function. Dr. Perry finishes with simple eye-movement exercises you can experiment with and encourages you to notice changes in movement, pain, sleep, and overall nervous-system state. If you’ve been chasing the painful area without getting lasting results, it may be time to look somewhere completely different. Think systems. Not symptoms.

SCP Podcast #287: The Heart Surgeon Who Changed His Mind About Nutrition | Dr. Philip Ovadia
In this episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry sits down with board-certified cardiac surgeon and author Dr. Philip Ovadia for a wide-ranging conversation about heart disease, metabolic health, nutrition, and what it really means to take control of your health. After more than 25 years as a heart surgeon, Dr. Ovadia brings a unique perspective to the conversation—not only from the thousands of patients he has treated, but from his own health journey. Once morbidly obese and pre-diabetic, he began questioning the conventional nutritional advice he had been taught after realizing it wasn’t working for him. He ultimately lost more than 100 pounds and made metabolic health a central focus of his work. Dr. Perry and Dr. Ovadia explore how our food environment has changed over the last century, the rise of processed foods and refined carbohydrates, and the long-running debate surrounding dietary fat, cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease. They also discuss why nutrition can feel so confusing, how conflicting health information leaves people unsure of what to believe, and why looking at the relationships between multiple health markers may provide more useful context than focusing on a single laboratory value. The conversation also dives into Dr. Ovadia’s new book, Stay Off My Kitchen Table, the follow-up to Stay Off My Operating Table, and his goal of giving people practical tools to better understand nutrition, digestion, metabolic health, and their own blood work. Topics discussed include: • Why heart disease remains such a major health challenge • Dr. Ovadia’s journey from unhealthy heart surgeon to metabolic health advocate • How processed food changed the modern diet • The history and evolution of dietary guidelines • Low-carbohydrate nutrition and metabolic health • Cholesterol and the debate surrounding LDL • Blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, and cardiovascular risk • Why one laboratory marker should be viewed in the context of the whole person • Understanding and interpreting your blood work • Moving from managing disease toward building health • Giving people the knowledge to become more active participants in their own health This episode is ultimately about asking better questions, looking beyond isolated numbers, and understanding the bigger picture of health.

SCP Podcast Episode 286: The Wild Journey Healing From Cancer with Dean Hall
In this powerful episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry sits down with Dean Hall, therapist, two-time cancer survivor, extreme-distance swimmer, and author of The Wild Cure: From Death to Life on Oregon’s Longest River. Dean shares the extraordinary story of swimming 187 miles of Oregon’s Willamette River while facing leukemia and how the experience transformed his relationship with his body, grief, fear, and the natural world. What began as a challenge to leave his daughter a legacy of courage became a profound lesson in resilience, purpose, and refusing to let a diagnosis define your life. Dean describes how immersing himself in cold water and nature changed his mental and emotional state and helped him reconnect with life after years of illness and devastating loss. Dr. Perry and Dean explore why reconnecting with nature may be one of the simplest ways to change the state of the nervous system. They discuss water, cold exposure, movement, fractals in nature, grief, human connection, purpose, resilience, and the feeling of becoming part of nature rather than merely observing it. Dean shares how his relationship with the river evolved from something to conquer into what he called “Mama River,” and how that experience helped reshape the way he viewed himself and the world around him. This conversation is ultimately about much more than surviving cancer, it is about remembering what it means to feel alive, reconnecting with the environments humans evolved within, and discovering how powerful small steps back toward nature can be.

SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 55: Your Liver Makes 50% of Your Lymph — Here's Why That Matters
09/08/2026
SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 55: Your Liver Makes 50% of Your Lymph — Here's Why That Matters
In this solo mini-episode, Dr. Perry breaks down why the liver deserves a serious look for anyone dealing with chronic pain, chronic inflammation, or chronic disease. The liver performs over 500 functions in the body, and problems there often don't show up on standard blood work until things are already seriously compromised. Dr. Perry walks through a simple self-check: pressing under the angle of the right ribcage to feel for tightness or tenderness, a sign the liver's fascia may be inflamed or under strain. He explains the liver's deep connection to the lymphatic system, since it produces 25–50% of the body's lymph, which drains through the thoracic duct and splits unevenly between the left and right venous angles (75/25). He also cautions against jumping straight into liver detox supplements without first clearing the lymphatic pathways, since an overburdened liver can make people feel worse when the "pipes" aren't clear yet. Key symptoms covered that may point back to the liver: Itchy or reddened skin Referred pain into the right shoulder, neck, and trap (sometimes migrating left) Brain fog and memory issues from disrupted vascular flow and intracranial pressure Yellowing of the eyes Unexplained weight gain tied to estrogen elimination Chronic fatigue and easy bruising Swollen ankles and feet Body and back pain Cold or dry hands and feet, tingling/numbness Dry eyes and dry mouth He also introduces the cisterna chyli, the body's largest lymphatic sac, sitting midway between the navel and sternum — and how stagnation there backs up into the liver. Takeaway: The liver is a major detox organ under constant assault from modern toxins, poor food, and supplement overload — and it deserves direct attention, especially for anyone with chronic pain, inflammation, or lymphatic issues.

SCP Podcast Episode 285: The New Brain Drain Discovery with Shalin Bhatt
What if supporting brain health isn't only about neurons, neurotransmitters, and blood flow—but also about how effectively the brain moves fluid and clears waste? In this episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry sits down with Shalin Bhatt for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving science of brain drainage, the glymphatic system, meningeal lymphatics, cerebrospinal fluid, and neuroinflammation. They explore a fundamental question: How does the brain keep its internal environment clean and maintain fluid homeostasis? The conversation examines emerging research suggesting that cerebrospinal fluid, the glymphatic system, meningeal lymphatics, the venous system, and peripheral lymphatics may function as interconnected parts of a much larger brain-fluid network. In this episode, you'll discover: Why scientists once believed the central nervous system had no lymphatic drainage The discovery and renewed interest in meningeal lymphatic vessels What the glymphatic system does in the brain How cerebrospinal fluid moves through different brain compartments The connection between the brain's fluid systems and the deep cervical lymph nodes The Cerebral Lymph Hypothesis and its fountain model of interconnected fluid compartments Why fluid homeostasis may be critical for maintaining a healthy brain environment How impaired clearance could potentially relate to neuroinflammation and brain fog Why amyloid and tau accumulation raises important questions about waste removal—not simply waste production The relationship between the nervous, immune, vascular, and lymphatic systems Why sleep and circadian rhythms may be important for glymphatic function The emerging concept of looking at the brain through a neurofluid rather than purely neurocentric lens Why curiosity, systems thinking, and asking "what if we're missing something?" continue to drive discoveries in neuroscience This conversation is about looking beyond isolated structures and asking a bigger question: What happens when the systems responsible for moving fluid, maintaining homeostasis, and clearing waste can no longer keep up? If you're interested in brain health, lymphatics, neuroinflammation, chronic pain, brain fog, cerebrospinal fluid, or complex systems, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 54: The Law of Connection....Look Beyond Where It Hurts
08/24/2026
SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 54: The Law of Connection....Look Beyond Where It Hurts
The Law of Connection: Look Beyond Where It Hurts In this mini episode, Dr. Perry introduces the first of the 30 Laws of Stop Chasing Pain: The Law of Connection—the idea that no system in the body works, gets injured, or heals in isolation. When pain becomes chronic, focusing only on where it hurts may cause you to miss the bigger picture. A painful foot, for example, may involve compensations from the hip, opposite side of the body, circulation, lymphatic flow, the gut, nervous system, eyes, organs, fascia, or other interconnected systems. Dr. Perry explains the Body Ecosystem Algorithm, a framework for widening the lens and considering the brain and nervous system, lymphatic flow, blood flow, peripheral nerves, gut and organs, fascia, musculoskeletal system, and finally the painful area itself. The core message is simple: when something has been hurting for months, think systems—not just symptoms. Your body is constantly adapting and compensating in an attempt to protect you, so the source of the problem may be several layers removed from where you actually feel the pain. Key takeaway: Everything is connected. Look beyond where it hurts. Think and link instead of isolating the symptom.

SCP Podcast Episode 284: Dr. David Rabin (A Simple Guide to Being Alive)
What if one of the most powerful tools for healing has been with you all along...your own nervous system? In this episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry sits down with physician, neuroscientist, author, and Apollo Neuro co-founder Dr. David Rabin to dicuss how stress, soothing touch, vibration, and the vagus nerve influence pain, recovery, resilience, and emotional well-being. They discuss why chronic distress can keep the body locked in survival mode redirecting resources away from digestion, immunity, sleep, learning, creativity, and pain and why effective healing strategies don’t always need to be complicated. You’ll discover how gentle touch and vibration may communicate safety to the nervous system, why the body responds differently to distress and growth-promoting “eustress,” and how changing your interpretation of a challenge can change your physiological response to it. This conversation offers a hopeful reminder: your nervous system is not broken—it may simply need consistent signals that help it feel safe enough to recover. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why soothing touch may activate vagal pathways involved in recovery How chronic fight-or-flight activation can affect pain and healing The difference between distress and beneficial eustress Why perceived safety matters to digestion, immunity, sleep, and repair How gentle vibration can influence nervous-system regulation Why mindset can help transform hardship into an opportunity for growth How simple, consistent practices can build greater resilience Why healing requires treating the whole human—not merely the painful body part If you’re living with chronic pain, inflammation, stress, poor sleep, or the feeling that your body is constantly on high alert, this episode will help you understand what may be happening beneath the symptoms.

SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 48: Rebounding For Healing (Top 3 Life Habit)
In this episode, Dr. Perry breaks down why rebounding is more than just jumping on a mini-trampoline. It is a simple, low-impact way to support lymphatic flow, circulation, balance, proprioception, and nervous system regulation. The body depends on movement, pressure changes, and rhythmic loading to help move fluid through the lymphatic system. Rebounding creates a gentle up-and-down pumping effect that may help stimulate fluid movement, improve tissue oxygenation, and wake up sensory receptors throughout the body. Dr. Perry also explains how rebounding can influence the brain-body connection by challenging balance, coordination, vestibular input, and foot-to-core integration. Even a few minutes of gentle bouncing can be a powerful way to help the body shift out of stiffness, stagnation, and sympathetic overload. This episode is a reminder that healing does not always require complex strategies. Sometimes the body needs rhythm, movement, pressure, and play. Key takeaway: Rebounding is not just exercise. It is a nervous system, lymphatic, circulatory, and proprioceptive reset. Discount Code is DOCPERRY

SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 47: Chronic Pain? Don't Forget the Diaphragm Muscle
The diaphragm is more than a breathing muscle—it is a pressure-regulating, nervous-system-modulating, fluid-moving powerhouse. When the diaphragm is restricted, weak, over-braced, or poorly coordinated, the body can compensate through the neck, shoulders, low back, pelvic floor, and jaw, creating chronic tension and pain patterns. Poor diaphragm function can alter rib motion, spinal stability, lymphatic drainage, venous return, vagus nerve signaling, and sympathetic “fight-or-flight” tone. In chronic pain, the question is not only “where does it hurt?” but also how is the body breathing, bracing, and managing pressure? That will impact pain. We always check the diaphragm.

SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 46: Dirty Brains and Brain Fog
In this epdisode Dr. Perry talks about the brain cleaning system and how if it's clogged you will have brain fog and more pain. So clean your brain environment for optimal healing. The glymphatic system is the brain’s waste-clearance pathway, moving cerebrospinal fluid through spaces around blood vessels to wash through brain tissue and carry out inflammatory byproducts, metabolic waste, and excess proteins. That fluid then drains into the meningeal lymphatic vessels, which connect the brain to the body’s broader lymphatic system, especially through lymph nodes in the neck. When glymphatic flow or lymphatic drainage is impaired, waste and inflammatory signals can build up, increasing neuroinflammation, tissue stress, immune activation, and potentially contributing to symptoms such as brain fog, poor sleep, headache, and impaired recovery.

SCP Podcast Episode 275: Cure Your Fatigue with Morley Robbins
Dr. Perry and Luisa sit down with Morley Robbins—creator of the Root Cause Protocol and author of Cure Your Fatigue—for a practical and ellightening conversation on why so many people feel depleted, inflamed, and stuck in chronic symptoms. This episode connects the dots between energy production, stress physiology, and the “hidden” drivers that keep pain patterns and chronic disease states switched on. Learn what to change first, and how to stop spinning your wheels with random supplements and overloaded advice. You’ll walk away with a map for recovery—especially if you deal with chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, autoimmunity patterns, or slow healing. Key takeaways from Cure Your Fatigue that we unpack on the show include: (1) why mineral balance is foundational to nervous system stability and tissue repair (2) how iron dysregulation can drive oxidative stress and inflammation (3) the central role of copper and ceruloplasmin in safe iron handling and cellular energy (4) why magnesium is a “stress mineral” that influences pain sensitivity, sleep, and autonomic tone (5) how supporting mitochondrial energy production can change the entire symptom picture. If you’re tired of chasing symptoms, this interview gives you a grounded, systems-based lens—and actionable steps—to improve resilience, reduce inflammatory load, and create better conditions for healing. Do not miss this one. Links to the book and the Root Cause Protocol.
