The Pod of Inquiry The Podcast For Human Optimization And UnderstandingAuthor: Dr. Stephen L. Barrett
The Podcast For Human Optimization And Understanding - The Pod Of Inquiry is designed to empower you with knowledge. What happens from there is up to you. Your host, Dr. Stephen Barrett, has designed this show to take you down some very deep rabbit holes hopefully bringing you back out again, relatively unscathed, but cerebrally wicked enabling a better understanding of all things worthy of inquiry. Past topics on the podcast include: Podiatry; Adhesive Arachnoiditis; Alzheimers; Antioxidants; Autoimmunity; Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy; Biomechanics; Charcot Neuroarthropathy; Diabetes; Diabetic Foot Ulcers; Diabetic Neuropathy; Diagnostic Ultrasound; Direct pay medical care; Drop Foot; Functional Medicine; hallux limitus; Hallux Valgus Surgery; Hashimoto's Disease; Heel Pain; Holistic Medicine; Inflammation; Iodine; Ketamine; Melatonin; Metabolism; Mortons Entrapment; Nitric Oxide; Ozone Therapy; Pain; Palmitoylethanolamide; Peptides; Peripheral Nerve Surgery; Peripheral Neuropathy; Plantar Fasciitis; PRP; Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF); Regenerative Medicine; Remy; Restless Leg Syndrome; Stem Cells; Sub clinical nerve entrapment; Tarsal Tunnel; The Phoenix Sign; Thyroid; Triglycerides; and more.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Isaac Clements, the inventor of NerveTape, a sutureless nerve repair device that's changing how surgeons reconnect damaged nerves. Originally discovered by accident during neural interface research, NerveTape uses shape-memory nitinol (the same material used in heart stents) to align and stabilize nerve ends—making repairs faster, more consistent, and potentially more successful than traditional microsurgical techniques. ⚠️ Even in expert hands, traditional nerve repair achieves good recovery less than 50% of the time. NerveTape aims to raise that bar. 🧬 In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ How NerveTape works and why no sutures are needed ✅ Why alignment matters more than stitching in nerve regeneration ✅ How the device reduces surgical time and technical difficulty ✅ The role of shape-memory alloys in medical devices ✅ How this tech may reduce neuroma risk and improve outcomes ✅ What this means for trauma, hand surgery, and nerve injuries Whether you're a surgeon, medical student, bioengineer, or just into cutting-edge medical tech, this conversation offers a rare look at how real innovation happens—and how it can change patient outcomes. 🎧 Don't miss this deep dive into the future of nerve repair and regenerative surgery.
