Ep 623: Is brain degeneration a myth? with Dr. Greg Eckel 08/05/2026

Ep 623: Is brain degeneration a myth? with Dr. Greg Eckel What if everything we've been told about Parkinson's disease and brain degeneration is wrong? For decades we've been told that neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's are progressive, irreversible, and caused primarily by the loss of dopamine. But what if that's only part of the story? In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Dr. Greg Eckel, naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, neuroregeneration pioneer, founder of the Academy of Mind-Body Medicine (AGEMED), and author of Defying Parkinson's, to challenge conventional thinking about brain disease. After losing his wife to a neurodegenerative illness, Dr. Eckel began questioning everything he believed about medicine. That journey led him to a revolutionary perspective: The brain doesn't simply degenerate, it runs out of energy. In this episode we'll explore how restoring mitochondrial function, reducing inflammation, supporting gut health, balancing the nervous system, and addressing environmental toxins may help create new possibilities for healing, not only for Parkinson's disease but also traumatic brain injuries, cognitive decline, and optimizing peak mental performance. If you or someone you love has Parkinson's, memory loss, a traumatic brain injury, or simply wants to improve brain health, this episode will completely change the way you think about the brain. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Dr. Greg Eckel 02:45 The diagnosis that changed Dr. Eckel's life forever 08:20 Why Parkinson's isn't just a dopamine deficiency 14:30 The biggest misconception about neurodegenerative disease 20:10 The brain doesn't degenerate—it loses energy 27:15 Mitochondria: the missing piece of brain health 33:40 Gut health, inflammation & environmental toxins 40:30 Why conventional medicine manages symptoms instead of restoring function 47:20 Regenerative medicine and the future of neurological care 54:10 Lifestyle strategies that support brain regeneration 59:15 Optimizing brain performance—even without disease In This Episode You'll Learn ✔️ Why Parkinson's disease involves much more than dopamine loss ✔️ The hidden role of mitochondrial dysfunction in brain disorders ✔️ How brain energy influences cognition, movement, and recovery ✔️ The surprising connection between gut health and neurological disease ✔️ Why environmental toxins may contribute to neurodegeneration ✔️ Lifestyle habits that support neuroplasticity and brain regeneration ✔️ How movement, sleep, and stress influence healing ✔️ Emerging regenerative medicine therapies for Parkinson's and traumatic brain injury ✔️ Why optimizing brain health benefits everyone—not just those with neurological disease ✔️ What the future of neuroregeneration could look like Key Takeaways The traditional model of brain disease may be incomplete. Rather than simply accepting degeneration, Dr. Greg Eckel encourages us to understand how the brain's energy systems influence function, healing, and resilience. By supporting mitochondrial health, reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and restoring nervous system balance, we may be able to shift what's possible for patients living with neurological conditions—and for anyone seeking better cognitive performance.

Ep 602: Healing Lichen Sclerosus Naturally with Autumn McLees 03/10/2026

Ep 602: Healing Lichen Sclerosus Naturally with Autumn McLees In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Autumn McLees to discuss her powerful journey navigating Lichen Sclerosus, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects many women but is rarely talked about openly. After experiencing painful symptoms and receiving conventional treatments that focused primarily on symptom management, Autumn began questioning whether there might be deeper root causes behind her condition. Her search for answers led her into the world of holistic health, functional medicine, and lifestyle-based healing. Autumn shares how her autoimmune diagnosis became a turning point—one that shifted her perspective from seeing her body as broken to recognizing it as a messenger asking for change. Throughout the conversation, she discusses the dietary and lifestyle shifts that helped reduce flare-ups, the mindset required to stay committed to healing, and the importance of surrounding yourself with practitioners who focus on root-cause healing rather than symptom suppression. Autumn also opens up about navigating new health challenges along the way and how staying proactive with nutrition, gut health, and vaginal microbiome support continues to play a key role in maintaining her progress. This episode offers hope and practical insights for anyone struggling with autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or unexplained symptoms, especially women who may feel dismissed or unsupported in traditional medical settings. What You’ll Learn in This Episode What Lichen Sclerosus is and why it can be so uncomfortable and disruptive Early symptoms many women overlook, including tearing and irritation Why conventional treatments often focus on symptom management rather than root causes How holistic and functional medicine approaches can help address underlying imbalances The role dietary changes play in reducing inflammation and preventing flare-ups Why maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for long-term symptom management How mindset and motivation influence the healing process The importance of identifying dietary triggers How probiotics and microbiome support can benefit vaginal health Why sharing personal health journeys empowers others to advocate for themselves Key Takeaways Lichen Sclerosus can cause severe discomfort and symptoms like tearing and irritation. Holistic approaches may provide additional tools beyond conventional treatments. Dietary changes can significantly impact inflammation and symptom flare-ups. Long-term management requires ongoing attention to lifestyle and stress. Healing often begins when we start listening to our bodies instead of ignoring symptoms. Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing root causes. Support from knowledgeable practitioners and community can make the healing journey easier. Awareness of food triggers can help prevent symptom recurrence. Vaginal microbiome health is an often overlooked piece of the puzzle. Sharing personal stories can inspire others to take control of their health. About Autumn McLees Autumn McLees knows firsthand what it’s like to feel stuck in a cycle of searching for answers in a system designed more for symptom management than true healing. After receiving an autoimmune diagnosis, she began questioning conventional approaches and exploring holistic alternatives. Through that journey, she realized her body wasn’t failing her—it was asking her to pay attention. Today, Autumn helps others understand that healing doesn’t require perfection or permission. It begins with the courage to question the norm, clean up lifestyle habits, and seek out practitioners who focus on the root causes of illness. Her mission is to empower people to reconnect with their bodies’ natural ability to heal and provide the tools, resources, and support needed to make lasting transformation possible.

Ep 600: You're making the effort, doing the hormone Balancing & you're still waiting to feel amazing with Jay Campbell 02/25/2026

Ep 600: You're making the effort, doing the hormone Balancing & you're still waiting to feel amazing with Jay Campbell In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity. This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization. **We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution** What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited. For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may: Improve insulin sensitivity Reduce inflammation Support fat loss Enhance recovery But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it. Microdosing Changes the Game One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing. Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can: Preserve muscle mass Reduce side effects Improve metabolic flexibility Support long-term sustainability This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don’t want to lose performance while improving body composition. Injectable > Oral Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness. Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies. The Future of Obesity Treatment We’re entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address: Insulin resistance Chronic inflammation Fat loss resistance Metabolic disease But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this! Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice One of the most compelling parts of the conversation: When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Health isn’t vanity. It’s vitality. It’s freedom. It’s staying in the game.

Ep 597: Hormones, Muscle & Longevity: Future-Proofing Women’s Health with the Hormone Heroines 02/04/2026

Ep 597: Hormones, Muscle & Longevity: Future-Proofing Women’s Health with the Hormone Heroines In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with the Hormone Heroines, Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, to unpack what women actually need to thrive hormonally from puberty through menopause and beyond.

Their passion lies in helping women address root causes, not just symptoms, using a holistic functional medicine approach so they can feel strong, energized, and supported at every stage of life. This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to build strength, protect her hormones, and age with power instead of burnout. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Muscle Is Medicine—Especially for Women Muscle isn’t just about strength or metabolism—it’s a hormone-regulating, longevity-protecting organ. Lose muscle, and everything from blood sugar to estrogen balance takes a hit. Protein Timing Matters More Than You Think It’s not just how much protein you eat—it’s how evenly you spread it throughout the day that determines whether your body can actually build and repair muscle. Estrogen Protects More Than Your Bones Estrogen plays a critical role in muscle recovery, injury prevention, and resilience. Ignoring this connection leaves women vulnerable to pain, plateaus, and faster aging. Longevity Isn’t a Supplement—It’s a Strategy Yes, tools like Urolithin A can support muscle and brain health—but nutrition, stress management, strength training, and the right practitioner are the real foundation for thriving long-term.
