96 - What Neurodegeneration Reveals About Broken Systems with Dr. Greg Eckel

What if the real problem in modern medicine is not a lack of treatment, but a lack of clarity? …and what does that reveal about how we make decisions in business, leadership, and life? Dr. Greg Eckel is a naturopathic physician and founder of Brain Regen whose work in bioenergetics and brain regeneration was shaped by the rapid illness and loss of his wife. That experience forced him to navigate the medical system not as a practitioner, but as a husband looking for answers. The conversation centers on how reactive systems wait for breakdown before responding, whether in healthcare or elsewhere. Dr. Greg Eckel explains why neurodegeneration often begins years before diagnosis and how clarity and upstream assessment change outcomes. This episode explores: • Why clarity is often missing in large institutions • The difference between reactive intervention and upstream prevention • How subconscious patterns and stress affect performance and health • The business case for long term thinking in brain health and longevity • What informed consent really means in complex systems • How mission can be forged through loss and responsibility For entrepreneurs building companies, families, and long term legacies, this conversation reframes what it means to think upstream before the crisis hits. 0:00 Intro 02:15 What Bioenergetics Really Means 06:29 The Origin of the Eckel Protocol 10:12 Loss, Grief, and a Broken System 13:25 Detect, Correct, Thrive Framework 17:27 Why Thoughts and Beliefs Matter 22:21 Functional Medicine vs. Reactive Care 25:25 Diet, Sugar, and Brain Health 35:46 Politics, Censorship, and Medicine 39:59 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Energy4Life Centers https://energy4lifecenters.com/ Brain Regen www.brainregen.com 📚 Dr. Eckel’s book: Shake It Off https://a.co/d/0jlRlrpC 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.
