Naturopathic Approach to Maintaining a Healthy Brain
Friday, June 20th, 2008
Listen to Naturopathic Approach to Maintaining a Healthy Brain
In this podcast, Portland naturopathic doctors, Dr. Greg Eckel and Dr. Greg Nigh discuss various ways that we can maintain our brain health. They explain that memory decline is not just a “sign of aging”, but it’s a sign of not aging well and isn’t normal. A long life of oxidative stress, which the brain is especially vulnerable to, puts the brain in a position of being more prone to develop neurological diseases as we get older. Through a naturopathic approach, they’ll share with you many ways that we can protect our brains from this oxidative stress, leading to devastating disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, memory loss, and even strokes.

Thoughts on Peer Review
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
Listen to Peer Review Podcast
In this podcast, Portland naturopathic doctors, Dr. Greg Eckel and Dr. Greg Nigh will discuss some of the politics and problems behind the process of “peer review”. Peer review is the process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are considered experts in the same field. But, they ask, how can peer review be considered fair and unbiased when a lot of these reviewers have conflicting interests, such as receiving incentives from companies that have financial ties to what is being reviewed? They discuss this, as well as many other flawed elements in the process of “peer review”.
