Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck
Dr. Heather Heck
Hello, I'm Dr. Heather Heck and I'm a little unique in that I hold credentials in both eastern and western medicine. I actually just closed my physical practice and now I want to share all of my knowledge and real-life experiences with you.
Not only that, but I'm also a mother and I have had so many mom-patients who just want to know how to best create a healthy environment for their kids. I plan to share all the ways I try and do this in my own home. My goal is to help YOU find the good, better, and best options in your whole body health through education and making sure you're aware of all of the holistic options you have. I am hoping this podcast is the start of many conversations and that I can positively impact your life, even if just by listening! Follow-me: https://linktr.ee/doctorheck

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: NRT Muscle Testing
Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck
09/27/24 • 35 min
Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
We’re going deep, today. Even many of us practitioners have trouble conceptualizing DNA and the interconnectivity of all the components of our bodies. Additionally, how we intercept and feel other people and their energy remains a mystery to some...
But, we are all energy beings. When you walk into a room, you can feel it. Our bodies want to remain in a state of healing and frequently when something is in the way of that healing we feel sick; it’s our body communicating that something needs attention. Today, I had the privilege of talking to one of my students from Northeast College of Health Sciences about her work in Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) muscle testing.
Muscle testing is a form of applied kinesiology. It’s a way to communicate with the Automatic nervous system and the subconscious mind.
I get asked this almost daily in my practice: what’s the best way to track menstrual cycles? Sarah explains how the methodology helps us all get back to recognizing what we’re feeling and staying in tune with our bodies. What’s super interesting is that she’s also recognized when those going through perimenopause or menopause show higher levels of cholesterol in their labs due to the body being out of sync with changes in hormone levels. I enjoyed Sarah’s thoughts on hormonal health and getting back to the cyclical nature of women’s cycles like the cyclical nature of our earth and its seasons.

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Biological Dentistry
Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck
09/20/24 • 28 min
Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
I grew up being taught that my family has bad teeth (root canals, missing teeth). But through my education and training, I know that 80% of our health is lifestyle + environment and 20% is genetics. So, I don’t necessarily subscribe to the belief that we just have bad teeth...
Did you know that traditional fillings contain 50% mercury, silver, tin, and copper... The WHO has mercury on the list of toxic metals. Rather than affecting the nervous system, there are other safer materials we can use.
But not a lot of dentists know about this biological approach...
Dr. Suringer Arora is a certified biological dentist. She holds a master’s in public and mental health and eventually found purpose in learning and offering a holistic approach to her patients. She’s also a certified health coach and has holistic training in the art of reiki among other spiritual healings. Her passion is to help people heal themselves along their health journeys.
In this episode, we even talked about the impact of jaw formation due to the nutrient-deficient soils and foods we have today. Dr. Arora recommends maintaining healthy levels or supplementation of Calcium, K2, vitamin D3, vitamin C, probiotics, and phosphorous in our diets for optimum oral health. I loved hearing about the upcoming summit she's a part of in Singapore. She's certainly helping with the holistic health movement in Asia!

I've been following Dr. Emily Heisey for years as I've raised my kids and it was such a pleasure to get to know her and her colleague, Dr. Matt Otteman.

Dr. Emily and Dr. Matt are co-owners of KinActive Kids since 2022 and they've created a unique blend of treatments to craft the KinActive Method, specifically designed to help your child reach their developmental milestones. This was such a cool conversation and their specialty has been (finally) getting national recognition!

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: BeeFree Employs Autistic Adults
Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck

Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
The heartbeat of the BeeFree gluten-free company isn’t just their focus on real ingredients and delicious tasting food, but it’s their mission to support the autistic community.
Jennifer Weise is an entrepreneur and mother of four sons. One of her sons received an autism diagnosis when he was eight and her motherly instincts took over. We’ve all been there...
Their whole family embarked on a gluten-free, grain-free journey, but transitioning to a gluten-free diet wasn't easy. That’s how she and her mother developed many of the BeeFree recipes!
Jennifer and her team also created ‘BeeFree Bakes’ which employs young adults with autism. They provide training and practice basic job and interpersonal skills, they work on building confidence amongst team members and allow them to find camaraderie among coworkers. Did you know that 80% of adults with autism are either unemployed or underemployed? “If I can make just one impact in our community with that statistic then I feel really good.” I hope you enjoy Jennifer’s story!

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Imagine Heaven with John Burke
Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck

Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
Spiritual well-being is something we often don't talk about.
A lot happened for me this past fall... my husband had an accident that led to a life flight, we found out we were pregnant with our third (which was a complete surprise), and then I decided it was time to quit my job. I found myself searching spiritually and somehow this brought me to John Burke’s interview on the Shawn Ryan podcast and seeking to read his book, “Imagine Heaven”. It was all life-changing.
John Burke is an engineer, the co-founder and former pastor of Gateway Church, a NY Times Best Selling Author, and has dedicated his life to studying over 1,000 near-death experiences (NDEs).
“There are about 40 commonalities in what people consistently say in these NDE interviews. I think that NDEs help people see this life with a new perspective - the good, the bad, the struggles, the suffering, and why love is so important and so hard.”
John shares specific NDE examples in this episode and of course, I requested more information on his research.

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Biohacking for Dogs
Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck
08/23/24 • 27 min
Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
It’s no surprise that while we all love to treat our furry friends like family, in many cases they need and deserve the same healthy practices as humans in order to live their own good-better-best life!
Today, I got to interview Dr. Daniel Beatty, founder of Biohacking for Dogs. Biohacking for dogs is the same as biohacking for humans.
The foundation of biohacking is removing unnecessary chemicals and toxins from the environment: medications, vaccines, household air fresheners and cleaners - so that you thrive and not just survive.
Just as with humans, diet matters. Dogs thrive on the carnivore diet. Imagine feeding yourself kibble: essentially highly processed cereal sprinkled with protein powder. We wouldn’t do it. Dogs also can benefit from supplements like fish oil, collagen, and mushrooms. Our companions who help us through mental health disorders and bouts of loneliness deserve to live the life they were made for.
Dr. Dan has more than 25 years as an integrative veterinarian. We talk a bit about his professional pathway and what led him to establish Balanced Motion Veterinary Services which is located in Northwest Indiana, just a short drive from Chicago.

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Hack Your Gut Health Documentary
Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck
08/16/24 • 16 min
Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
My niece is starting medical school in a couple of weeks and she recently watched the Netflix documentary “Hack Your Gut Health: The Secrets of Your Gut”. She asked me to watch it and share my thoughts with her from a functional medicine and nutrition standpoint.
Though I do highly recommend checking the funding source of any documentary in order to spot an agenda, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. It is promoting an author’s book, but I actually plan to order a copy to have on hand and may refer patients to it, too.
Fun fact: If you’re lacking a certain strain of bacteria in your gut there’s research that suggests you’re more likely to become obese. Our gut is truly our second brain. A healthy gut means a more balanced weight and balanced hormones. Toxins are more often than not a contributor to bad gut bacteria. Chronic antibiotic use can also lead to an unhealthy gut. I loved how this documentary reiterated that we all need to eat seasonally and eat clean for a healthy gut.
There was some interesting research and a specific study shared that I feel may need to look into - in other words, the verdict is still out, for me. Overall, I enjoyed this documentary and I support a lot of the author’s findings. I think you should check it out and let me know your thoughts!

Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
I'm sharing my thoughts as I watch the Netflix original series, "You Are What You Eat: a Twin Study". This is absolutely the GOLD standard when it comes to collecting scientific data, so I applaud the effort. There were some statements I wholeheartedly agreed with and then some not so much... it's important to note how the study is being funded and I shed some light on that in this quick episode. I'd really love to know your thoughts! Message me what you think after you've watched it and listened to my episode.

Life, Death, and the Lessons We Learn | Coffee Chat with My Publicist
In this episode, I sit down with my publicist for an honest and heartfelt conversation about life, death, faith, and the little pearls of wisdom I’ve learned from my patients over the years. It’s a refreshing change of pace, enjoying a hot cup of coffee and catching up. We dive deep into the effects of stress on our bodies, the pressures we put on ourselves to be perfect, and how some of these tendencies may be passed down through generations.
We also reflect on where we are in life, reaching the stage where we’re now caring for our parents—something many of you might relate to. This is a raw and real discussion about the things that matter most, and we hope you’ll feel like a fly on the wall as you listen in.
Grab your own cup of coffee and join us in this intimate chat. And don’t forget—I’d love to hear your thoughts and what you would’ve added to the conversation if you’d been right here with us!
