    Can The Brain Heal Itself New Approaches To Parkinson's & Neurodegenerative Disease

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Greg Eckel to discuss Parkinson's disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and some of the most common misconceptions surrounding brain health. As a naturopathic physician and pioneer in regenerative medicine, Dr. Eckel has spent more than two decades exploring innovative approaches to supporting neurological function and improving quality of life for patients facing complex brain-related conditions. Dr. Eckel is the founder of bVital in Park City, Utah, and the creator of the Eckel Protocol®, an integrative approach that combines regenerative therapies, bioenergetics, and advanced health technologies. His work focuses on helping individuals optimize brain function, address chronic neurological challenges, and support long-term cognitive health. This conversation explores: Common myths and misconceptions about Parkinson's disease. The role of neuroinflammation in brain health and neurodegenerative conditions. Emerging approaches to brain regeneration and neurological recovery. How lifestyle, nutrition, and integrative medicine may support cognitive function. Dr. Eckel's interest in brain regeneration was deeply influenced by his personal experience caring for his wife during her battle with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. That journey led him to investigate regenerative medicine, neuroinflammation, and innovative therapeutic approaches designed to support the brain's natural healing processes. Today, his work incorporates a wide range of tools, including naturopathic medicine, Chinese medicine, regenerative therapies, mind-body practices, and emerging health technologies. A sought-after speaker and educator, Dr. Eckel has been featured on major media outlets, including ABC, NBC, and FOX. He is also the author of Shake It Off: An Integrative Approach to Parkinson's Solutions and has reached thousands through his educational programs focused on brain health, neuroplasticity, and regenerative medicine.

    Introducing Domestic Violence Crisis Now Impacts 1 in 2 Women, with Oprah and author Rachel Louise Snyder from The Oprah Podcast. Follow the show: The Oprah Podcast When Oprah first addressed the topic of domestic violence back in 1986, one out of four women in the United States was impacted by domestic violence. Today, that number has escalated to one out of two women who will experience sexual violence, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. In this episode Oprah talks with journalist, writer and professor Rachel Louise Snyder. She is the author of the award-winning bestseller, No Visible Bruises, where she explores the domestic violence epidemic and how to combat it. She explains why domestic violence is becoming more prevalent, why a better term for it is “intimate partner terrorism,” the signs to look out for and what steps women can take to protect themselves and their families. Oprah and Rachel are joined by Susan, a former Oprah Show guest, who endured 17 years of physical and emotional abuse by her former husband - some of which her husband forced her then 13-year-old son to record on video. Also, in the fatal Ohio home invasion that grabbed headlines, the sister and brother-in-law of married couple Spencer and Monique Tepe join to talk about how Monique had experienced years of threatening behavior and emotional abuse from her surgeon ex-husband before he killed them both in their home in December 2025.
