Welcome back to Health Unlocked! In this episode, Jasen Petersen takes us deep into the world of medical devices, regulatory pathways, and the bold vision for the IBAL platform. Jasen Petersen breaks down the crucial differences between drugs and devices; why it matters for innovation, safety, and getting new therapies to patients faster.

You'll hear firsthand about IBAL’s journey through regulatory approval in Mexico and the UAE, how previous groundwork helps set the stage for U.S. expansion, and the strategic thinking behind choosing the right device pathway. Jasen also tackles the complexities of claims, regulations, and evidence, explaining why language, transparency, and governance are make-or-break factors. He explores how new funding and governance models like Decentralized Science (DeSci) and DAOs can unlock ingenuity and integrity, helping promising therapies break out of the traditional pharma mold.

If you’re curious about the future of medical innovation, how “terrain-aligned” approaches challenge the status quo, or just want an inside look at the regulatory chess game behind breakthrough products, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

Welcome back to Health Unlocked! In this thought-provoking episode, host Jasen Petersen dives deep into the future of healthcare innovation and governance. Building on last season’s discussions of cellular genesis and wound healing breakthroughs, they tackle the tough questions: What stands in the way of revolutionary technologies like IBAL reaching everyone who needs them? And how do you protect life-changing research from being absorbed into profit-driven models that limit patient access?

The conversation explores decentralized healing, community-based governance through DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), and the role of nonprofits like the Ionic Alliance Foundation. Listeners will gain insight into the challenges posed by traditional funding structures: venture capital, pharma, benefit corporations, and discover why Jasen Petersen believes DAOs could be the key to shifting control away from extractive industries and toward patient-focused innovation.

If you’re intrigued by the intersection of blockchain, healthcare, and mission-driven science, this episode lays out the principles behind a more transparent, equitable future where the community, not just shareholders or board members, decides how medical advances are developed and delivered. Tune in as Health Unlocked unpacks why decentralized governance could transform how technology reaches the world, making healing accessible for all.

Welcome back to a brand new season of Health Unlocked! In this episode, Jasen Petersen kicks off Season Two with a bold shift in focus: decentralized healing. After reflecting on the impactful first season, Jasen dives straight into the chronic disease crisis, unpacking why our current healthcare system leaves so many families suffering both financially and emotionally, and why treatment costs keep rising even as outcomes stagnate.

Jasen Petersen shares personal stories that underscore the urgency of this issue and explains how chronic disease is often the result of stuck healing processes at the cellular level, offering hope that, with the right approach, many of these conditions can be resolved, not just managed. The episode discusses the concept of microimmune dynamics, explores the limitations of both conventional and functional medicine, and offers an accessible look at new solutions like targeted nutrient delivery to support true healing.

Tune in as Jasen Petersen peels back the layers of a broken system and sets the stage for a season dedicated to practical, innovative paths to better health, right in your own hands.
