Holistic Health with 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: Dr. Peter Nickless
Dr. Peter Nickless, is currently the Dean of Online Education for Northeast College of Health Sciences. He has a master's degree in human nutrition from the University of Bridgeport, a Master of Business Administration from the University of Southern New Hampshire, a master's degree in operations and project management from the University of Southern New Hampshire, and a Ph.D. in biomedical informatics from Rutgers University. Throughout his college career, he won several championships in powerlifting and chased his dream of becoming an Olympic weightlifter. Most recently, he’s self-published his first book. But most recently, he’s been more focused on longevity.
Today, we listen as Peter talks a lot about his experience in sports nutrition and perhaps his understanding of the differences between the ‘bro-science’ verses endurance training. He’s also found that sports nutrition has blended itself into overall men’s health including getting more sleep, limiting stress, and how or when we choose to take supplements. While he was training, he restricted his own supplement use due to his fear of being disqualified from competing. He specifically discusses anabolics, amphetamines, and peptides that are now found in the marketplace without any prescriptions and only marketing claims that haven’t actually been tested. Fortunately, some companies are starting to self-police.
Peter is a colleague of mine and I always enjoy his perspective. He’s extremely experienced and very informed. I like the direction this conversation took as he provided some insight for those in the 30-65-year-old age group, especially men. He shared how we can all optimize our health, recovery, testosterone levels, muscle mass, and how we can age well while still being able to perform.
