What if the most important question in regenerative medicine isn’t which treatment to use—but whether your body has what it needs to heal?

In this episode of RESET, Dr. Catie Harris explores RESET Question #10: Can your body repair and regenerate?

Your body is repairing itself every day. But healing requires far more than targeting the injured tissue. It requires energy, protein and other raw materials, circulation, immune signaling, appropriate inflammation, mechanical input, sleep, and the ability to coordinate an extraordinarily complex repair process.

Dr. Harris explains why some tissues heal better than others, the difference between repair and true regeneration, why scar tissue isn’t necessarily a failure, and how ongoing damage can prevent even an otherwise healthy repair response from succeeding.

The episode also explores where regenerative therapies such as PRP, acoustic wave therapy, peptides, exosomes, and cellular therapies may fit—and why advanced treatments cannot be separated from the biological environment in which they're expected to work.

The better question isn’t:

“What regenerative treatment should I get?”

It’s:

“What does my body need in order to heal?”

Because treatments can provide signals and change the environment.

But ultimately, the body has to do the healing.

The body isn’t broken. It’s adapting.

What if a healthy metabolism isn’t about burning more fat, avoiding carbohydrates, or keeping your glucose perfectly flat?

In this episode of RESET, Dr. Catie Harris explores RESET Question #9: Can you regulate glucose and fatty acid metabolism?

Your body is designed to use multiple sources of fuel. Sometimes glucose is appropriate. Sometimes fatty acids are appropriate. The real measure of metabolic health is whether your body can move between those fuels as your needs change—a concept known as metabolic flexibility.

Dr. Harris explains insulin resistance as an adaptation that can begin long before blood glucose reaches diabetic levels, why fasting insulin can provide important information, and why muscle, mitochondria, sleep, stress, visceral fat, and physical activity all influence the way your body handles energy.

You’ll also learn why insulin isn’t the enemy, why body fat is more than stored calories, and why having plenty of stored energy doesn’t necessarily mean your cells can access and use that energy efficiently.

The better question isn’t:

“How do I burn more fat?”

It’s:

“Can my body appropriately use the fuel it already has?”

Because metabolic health isn’t about choosing one fuel and avoiding another.

It’s about having options.

The body isn’t broken. It’s adapting.

What if your body doesn’t need a detox—because it’s already detoxifying every minute of every day?

In this episode of RESET, Dr. Catie Harris explores RESET Question #8: Can you detoxify and manage oxidative stress?

Detoxification isn’t a juice cleanse, tea, powder, or seven-day protocol. It’s an ongoing biological process involving your liver, kidneys, gut, lungs, cellular enzyme systems, and the nutrients and energy required to keep those systems working.

But detoxification is only half of the conversation.

Dr. Harris also explores oxidative stress and challenges another common assumption: that oxidation is always bad and antioxidants are always good. Your body deliberately produces reactive oxygen species for signaling, immune defense, and adaptation. The goal isn’t to eliminate them—it’s to maintain the capacity to manage oxidative challenges, repair damage, and return to balance.

You’ll learn how detoxification and oxidative stress connect to glutathione, NAC, mitochondrial function, inflammation, cell membranes, gut health, exercise, aging, and the body’s own antioxidant defense systems.

Most importantly, this episode shifts the question from:

“What do I need to take to detox?”

to:

“Is the burden on my body greater than its capacity to process, repair, and recover?”

Because the goal isn’t to micromanage your liver, eliminate every free radical, or become afraid of everything in your environment.

The goal is resilience—giving your body the resources and environment it needs to do the job it already knows how to do.

The body isn’t broken. It’s adapting.
