What if healing begins with reconnecting to ourselves, rather than simply treating our symptoms?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Greg Eckel, a naturopathic physician and Chinese medicine practitioner, to explore brain regeneration, neurological health, and the body's capacity to heal. Greg shares how his work with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative conditions led him to develop the Eckel Protocol, which focuses on detecting underlying imbalances, correcting them, and helping people thrive.

The conversation moves into heart-centered living, personal loss, and the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Greg opens up about losing his first wife to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and how that experience transformed his life and inspired his mission to help others facing neurological conditions. He also explains why deep presence, addressing underlying trauma, and listening to the body are central to his approach.

We also explore Greg's adventures climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, witnessing a solar eclipse in Greenland, and attending Burning Man, reflecting on how curiosity, connection, and following our hearts can shape the way we experience life.

Topics We Explore:

• Brain regeneration and the body's innate capacity for healing
• The Eckel Protocol: detect, correct, and thrive
• Understanding underlying imbalances in neurological health
• How personal loss shaped Greg's mission to help others

What if intelligence is about more than logic, data, and knowing the right answer?

In this episode, we sit down with Angus Fletcher, author of Primal Intelligence, to explore how humans think through story and why intuition, imagination, emotion, and common sense may be just as important as logic. Angus shares how his research led him to rethink what intelligence actually means and why our brains are built to imagine possibilities rather than simply predict what has happened before.

The conversation moves into purpose, leadership, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. Angus explains why purpose gives us direction, how leadership begins with taking the first step into the unknown, and how technology can distract us from the bigger story we're trying to create.

We also explore what it means to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that modern life can teach us to suppress, and why embracing our own story may be essential to finding purpose and creating a future that is uniquely ours.

Topics We Explore:

• Why intelligence is more than logic and data
• The four parts of Primal Intelligence: intuition, imagination, emotion, and common sense
• Why humans naturally think in stories
• The difference between meaning and purpose
• How story shapes leadership and the future we imagine
• How technology can distract us from purpose and identity
• Why the story we tell ourselves about ourselves may be one of the most important stories we ever create
