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
From Marine to Healer: Marisol Salgado-Garcia on Trauma, Truth, and Transformation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the high-stakes world of military service, stories of courage are expected—but the quiet battles that follow are often left untold. Marisol Salgado-Garcia’s journey brings those hidden struggles into the light. After two decades in the United States Marine Corps, she returned from the front lines carrying more than the weight of her missions—she faced the lasting impact of trauma and the complex realities of mental health.
In this episode, we dive into Marisol’s powerful story—from her career as an aviation supply and logistics officer, with deployments to Iraq and leadership roles in NATO operations across Europe, to the deeply personal challenges that reshaped her life. Her path wasn’t linear, and it wasn’t easy—but it became a catalyst for something bigger.
Today, Marisol is using her voice to create space for others—especially fellow service members—to confront, process, and heal. Her story is not just about resilience; it’s about transformation, honesty, and the courage to speak what many are still afraid to say.
This conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t happen overnight—and it doesn’t happen alone.
If you or someone you know is navigating similar struggles, there is support, and there is hope.
