Every book Sean Mackey recommended on podcasts
Dr. Sean Mackey appeared on the Huberman Lab podcast to discuss tools and strategies to reduce and manage pain. While addressing the complex physiological mechanisms behind chronic discomfort and bodily sensitivities, he referenced several significant scientific papers and medical reports. Dr. Mackey mentioned that Dr. Linda Nguyen, a gastrointestinal pain specialist in his clinic, sent him a paper published in Cell or Nature. This research demonstrated that following a gut infection, genetic expression can change in ways that sensitize an individual to food antigens. In addition to discussing cellular mechanisms and gastrointestinal health, Dr. Mackey referenced a comprehensive report published by The Lancet. He noted that a Stanford commission led by Keith on the North American opioid crisis put together a very rational, well-structured plan to address the systemic challenges of the epidemic. Through these citations, Dr. Mackey highlighted the intersection of rigorous clinical research, gastrointestinal science, and public health policy in treating pain.
