Dohrea Bardell, PhD

"World - Theories offer differing core viewpoints, various methods for data collection, and unifying narratives that explain our world. Our views and experiences depend upon the theories we choose."

Dr. Dohrea Bardell has supported and worked alongside Seann in the integrative medical field, helping to formulate some of the most innovative and powerful range of supplements, the Therapeutic Foods. Dr. Bardell has taken the helm of BioImmersion after Seann passed in 2022. She is also the director at Mature Peace Research Institute and a Fellow at the Institute for Social Innovation.

As part of her PhD in International Relations, Dr. Bardell developed a normative theoretical model that aims to position peace as an international law. Her Kantian peace model embodies a reasoned and compassionate approach to peace and justice issues in international relations. 

Dr. Bardell’s research at Mature Peace Institute is the study world leaders’ collective consciousness of peace. 

One of her fun projects is the research into the influence of World-Theories on the way we organize and explain the biological and social sciences.
