What if Parkinson's disease is more than a movement disorder? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Greg Eckel, naturopathic physician and pioneer in neurodegenerative medicine, to explore a broader, root-cause approach to Parkinson's disease. Inspired by his late wife's battle with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Dr. Eckel shares the personal journey that led him to dedicate his career to understanding the underlying drivers of neurodegeneration.
Together, we discuss the three major contributors he believes are central to neurological decline: environmental toxins, trauma, and infections. We also explore the role of gut health, alpha-synuclein, the vagus nerve, advanced diagnostic testing, personalized medicine, and emerging therapies such as non-thermal low-level laser therapy. This conversation challenges conventional thinking and offers a more comprehensive framework for understanding Parkinson's and supporting long-term brain health.
If you're interested in the future of neurodegenerative care, the gut-brain connection, and strategies that go beyond symptom management, this episode is a must-listen.
