After losing his wife suddenly to a rare neuro-degenerative disorder (CJD), Dr. Greg Eckel completely changed his specialty (after 20+ years in practice) to brain regeneration.
He wrote a book – Shake it off - about an integrative approach to Parkinson’s Disease and created a program he now offers in his clinics in Portland, Oregon and Park City, Utah.
-
All neurodegeneration is on the rise, and at younger ages. It is estimated that by 2030, 50% of all adults over the age of 65 will have some form of mild cognitive impairment.
There are a couple medications that can decrease symptoms for some forms of dementia, but otherwise, conventional medicine has very few options to help.
-
Dr. Eckel, on the other hand, sees dramatic changes in his patients, with the return of memory, humor and functioning.
He sees his role and his work as helping patients to become whole again. That’s who we are – we are love and source. We leave the door open for that to occur. Separation is an illusion.
The nervous system is able to regrow and come back online. Given the right support, our bodies (and brains) can heal.
-
In this episode we talk about:
-The gut-brain connection and how important it is for healing the nervous system
-The ecosystem in our gut is essential for our health and our neurotransmitters
-The role heavy metals and other toxins play in neuro-degenerative conditions
All the treatment options he uses to help heal the nervous system: PEMF, acupuncture, bio-energetic resonance, peptides, herbal therapies, stem cells, and laser therapy…
-
Dr. Eckel figuring out that by using a laser to activate stem cells and then to direct the cells to where he wants them to go, he is able to stimulate the growth of healthy tissue.
He believes that the future of medicine uses frequency as medicine. Lasers use frequency. And our cells and mitochondria emit a frequency as well.
It’s about remembering what “healthy” is. We get separated and removed from it. By reminding the body how to find balance, we promote healing. More than anything, we wants people to know that it is possible to heal from many neurodegenerative conditions.
He offered listeners a gift of Qi Gong – which is a movement from Chinese medicine that assists with healing the brain.
-
I write about many of the therapies and approaches mentioned in this episode in my book, Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health.

Both of my parents have experienced a stroke in the past 1.5 years.
And I was not prepared. That’s why I recorded this episode of How Humans Heal – to help you be prepared in case your loved one experiences a stroke.
A stroke is when either blood clot or a bleeding blood vessel decreases blood flow to the brain. It is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S., but a stroke doesn’t always cause death.
For those who survive a stroke, they are likely to experience decreased mobility and long-term disability, especially when over the age of 65.
The best outcomes occur when a person is able to get medical assistance quickly. And the brain CAN heal from a stroke. It is a slow process, but there are many ways we can support and facilitate that recovery.
This is exactly why I want YOU to know the common symptoms of a stroke. In this episode of HHH, I share about the symptoms my father experienced, such as choking and change in behavior, and how they differed from the symptoms my mother experienced, vertigo and nausea.
And I share about the conversations I am having with my father’s caregivers to facilitate his recovery. Plus the foods and activities I’m choosing for him.
-
The brain heals when we:
-Decrease inflammation
-Listen to music
-Do what we love
-Spend time with loved ones
-Decrease stimulation
-
More than anything, I want to emphasize that when we are most stressed, such as when taking care of a loved one, is when it is MOST important for us to take C.A.R.E. of ourselves.
Often when we get caught up in stress, we lose track of our own selfcare. And that’s how we end up burned out.
I’m here to help you to recover from burnout, and to learn to be resilient to stress, because you never know when a stress or trauma is going to come along.
We need to be prepared, recovered, and ready to respond and at the same time, keep ourselves feeling well in the process.

Dr. Sue went from working for an advertising firm in Manhattan, to completely changing her life by becoming a naturopathic doctor.
At the same time, she faced her own chronic health challenges, including Lyme disease and severe migraines. It was by addressing a past trauma that completely changed her health. She finally understood why “she is the way she is” and how to support herself to heal.
If you don’t remember before the age of 7, that is a sign of an early childhood trauma. Working with a shaman, she felt supported to discover the wounds that had been hiding her past.
If we don’t know what is making us feel stuck and sick, we could be experiencing physical and emotional pain without realizing there is something we can do to change it.
Dr. Sue processed her trauma using EMDR, EFT, cranio-sacral therapy, homeopathy, flower essences, and drainage therapy. And now Dr. Sue guides her patients to recover from their chronic illness by addressing trauma. She starts by talking through their life chronologically, looking for events and experiences that happened starting from a young age.
-
In this episode, Dr. Sue and I also talk about how:
-There can be fear to do this work.
-We tend to turn to alcohol, food, and other substances or choices in order to avoid looking at our trauma.
-We have to feel safe to feel the feelings we haven’t felt.
-Often, with a history of trauma, gentle approaches are better, and actually essential.
-It is common to be so sensitive to even treatments that are helpful.
-
When looking for a therapist to help you, it is important to choose a therapist who is trained in trauma recovery. There are many forms of therapy to help get to the core of trauma. We can recover from trauma. The nervous system can heal. It’s worth putting in the time and effort to do this work.
-
This is such an important topic to me. In the book – Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health – I talk about the effect trauma has on our health, and how my Stress Recovery Protocol has been successful in helping me and my patients resolve trauma.
If you don’t already have the book, I recommend reading it and reaching out to me so I can guide you to get the most out of it on your path of recovering from trauma and chronic illness.

I believe it is essential for each of you to know your stress type.
That is one of the five stress types I have identified in my clinical experience and research.
These stress types are based on cortisol levels – measured at four different times of day in urine or saliva – and adrenaline (norepinephrine and epinephrine) levels.
These tests are not done in a standard doctor’s appointment. And they are not covered by insurance. Currently, these tests are available through my office for patients and program participants.
I highly recommend it for everyone who wants to strategically resolve health concerns, prevent the need for medications, and improve your longevity.
-
You can also determine your stress type (a high likelihood of what it is) with the assessment in my book – Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health. Or you can use that quiz online at DoctorDoni.com/stressquiz.
Once you know your stress type, then use the Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health book to optimize your cortisol and adrenaline levels based on your stress type.
