Aleksandra Filipovic, Chief Medical Officer at Gallop Oncology, shared a post by OncoDaily on LinkedIn, adding:
“Episode 3 of Into the Body, with Dr Aleks is now live OncoDaily.
This conversation felt special.
I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jeffrey Rediger – psychiatrist, researcher, and author of Cured – about something that continues to challenge the edges of modern medicine: unexpected healing.
For decades, cases labeled ‘spontaneous remission‘ have been treated as anomalies. Rare. Unexplainable. Almost inconvenient.
But what if they’re neither random nor mystical?
What if they’re pointing us toward patterns we haven’t fully understood yet?
In this episode, we explore how the body encodes life experiences – beliefs, trauma, survival strategies – and how those adaptive patterns can show up as physical symptoms. We also discuss what happens when the system finally feels safe enough to reorganize.
We touch on:
- The physiology of safety versus threat.
- How stress reshapes immune function.
- The role of identity and self-perception in health.
- Trauma integration and Internal Family Systems.
- And why healing may be less about fighting disease – and more about restoring coherence.
What moved me most is this: the body is not working against us. Even symptoms can be intelligent adaptations.
This episode is an invitation to rethink healing – not as magic, but as biology meeting meaning.
If you’re curious about the intersection of neuroscience, psychiatry, immunology, and lived human experience, I think you’ll find this conversation as thought-provoking as I did.”
Quoting OncoDaily’s post:
“When Modern Medicine Meets Spontaneous Healing: Dr. Jeff Rediger.
In this powerful episode of Into the Body, host Dr. Aleksandra Filipovic MD Ph.D. sits down with Harvard-trained psychiatrist and author Dr. Jeffrey Rediger to explore one of the most provocative questions in medicine:
What if healing is not a miracle, but a pattern we have yet to fully study?
They explore:
- What ‘spontaneous remission’ really means, and why it’s not random.
- The patterns observed in patients who experience unexpected healing.
- How identity, dignity, and self-worth influence physiology.
- The connection between trauma, the nervous system, and immune dysfunction.
- The difference between threat stress and challenge stress.
- How Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps patients integrate trauma.
Dr. Rediger is a licensed physician and psychiatrist and serves on the faculty of Harvard Medical School.
He is also the author of the bestselling book Cured: Strengthen Your Immune System and Heal Your Life, and has spent decades researching cases of spontaneous remission – patients who recover from incurable illnesses against all medical odds.
