While teaching preschool (in the mid 90s), Dr. Eckel became increasingly concerned with the overmedication of children, inspiring his entry into Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine. In 2001, he co-founded Nature Cures Clinic in Portland, Oregon; 21 years later he founded bVital, a wellness and recharging center in Park City, Utah.

His unique combination of Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and botanical medicine) provides a variety of tools to treat acute and chronic illness. Dr. Eckel’s approach values the principles of prevention and wellness, where east meets west, naturally.

With the passing of his wife, Sarieah, from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a condition with no known cure, Dr. Eckel developed a deep personal knowledge of chronic neurological conditions. Being a good husband and doctor, he set to research and ‘swing for the fence.’ While, unfortunately, not finding a remedy for Sarieah, he uncovered her gifts. While navigating the stages of grief and loss, with an open heart, he came through with a deep appreciation of the gift of life.

This deep dive uncovered regenerative medicine, the development of a brain regenerative program, and a nasal spray specific to calm neuroinflammation in the brain. He began adopting procedures such as intranasal stem cell delivery to bypass the blood-brain barrier and mind-body techniques to reverse anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. It became apparent to him that the future of medicine lies in frequency. With this remembered knowledge, he’s leading the way of bringing bioenergetics mainstream.

Dr. Eckel has been seen on ABC, NBC, FOX, and local networks as he works to make his approaches more accessible to communities he’s serving. He’s reached over 150,000 people with his online brain regeneration and bioenergetics summits. In 2018, he published his first book “Shake It Off: An Integrative Approach to Parkinson’s Solutions.” He served as the President of the Board of Naturopathic Medical Examiners, appointed by the Governor of Oregon.
