About Greg Lee:

I’m Greg Lee, founder of the Lyme Research & Healing Center and a former NASA engineer who walked away from a traditional career path after my own struggle with IBS. In my practice, I've seen over a thousand chronic illness patients who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to “just live with it.”

I truly enjoyed listening to the recent episode “Healing Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All: Danielle Pashko’s Story.” It deeply resonated with our medical approach of our Advanced Medical Scan to identify the most important underlying infections, toxins, inflammatory patterns, immune stressors, and neurological imbalances—and then crafting a customized treatment and remedy program based on each patient’s unique physiology rather than applying a generic protocol.

My work focuses on people dealing with chronic Lyme, mold illness, long COVID, neurological symptoms, fatigue, pain, anxiety, and mystery conditions that don’t show up clearly on lab tests—but absolutely show up in real life. Beyond the medicine, I see every day how chronic illness alters identity, relationships, purpose, and mental health.

At our clinic, the Advanced Medical Scan helps uncover hidden drivers such as chronic infections, toxins, nervous system overload, inflammation, and gut–brain dysfunction. Using the Scan results, we help these patients heal more quickly with several advanced therapies, including Molecular Hydrogen Treatment, frequency-specific microcurrent, Functional Medicine remedies, nanoparticle herbs and essential oils, peptides, Chinese medicine, German Biological Homeopathic Remedies, and bee venom. What I also bring to a conversation like yours isn’t just protocols—it’s the human side of what happens when life gets derailed and has to be rebuilt.

Episode #86: From Four-Week Coma to the Stage: Dan McQueen's Story Will Make You Rethink Everything

Dan McQueen went in for headaches. He came out of a four-week coma unable to walk, talk, or smile. What happened next wasn't a dramatic overnight comeback; it was a game. Five minutes faster in the wheelchair. Then five more. His "aim small, miss small, ratchet" philosophy is deceptively simple and genuinely life-changing. Dr. Cindy calls this one the episode that brought her to tears. Fair warning: It might do the same to you.

In this episode, we cover:

• (4:00) How a headache drastically changed Dan’s life.
• (10:00) “This isn’t my life. I was healthy yesterday.”
• (17:00) Challenging the status quo and risking failure rather than sitting in mediocrity.
• (20:00) Motivation is about proving you wrong, proving you’re right, and serving.
• (23:00) Forgiving yourself today to help move yourself forward tomorrow?
• (26:00) How Dan views this life-altering circumstance as a gift.
• (30:00) If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
• (35:00) Control the controllable- It’s not about what happened to you, it’s about how you react.
• (39:00) Rapid-fire questions

About Dan Macqueen:

At 28, Dan was leading a healthy, active life. After an optometrist appointment to identify the cause of his persistent headaches was cut short, he was handed a sealed envelope and told to go directly to the hospital. What followed was emergency brain surgery. On June 21, 2014, Dan's reality was shattered by a devastating brain hemorrhage. With no map to guide him on the gruelling path to recovery, Dan had to rely on his grit, perseverance, and resilience to relearn everything he once knew: how to walk, talk, and even smile.

Dan has survived two emergency brain surgeries, weeks in a coma, and months in a rehab hospital. What he found out along the way might surprise you: there is nothing like a brain injury to refocus the mind! Driven by a positive mindset, Dan battled through excruciating rehab exercises to rebuild his life and return to a job he loved.

He’s grateful for the doctors who saved him and the friends and family who supported him. Now he wants to pay it forward. The tools Dan used to rebuild his life can be used by anyone facing challenges. He will reveal strategies to help you or your team be #BetterThanYesterday and achieve your goals, one step at a time. His action-oriented life hacks will help you tackle anything you face.

Through his talks, Dan has inspired groups at the @NHS London Wolfsen rehabilitation centre, @Headway - West London, a Brain injury association, @Hootsuite, a social media management company, and @Spendesk, a Fintech SaaS company based in London. His audiences were moved and uplifted by Dan's story and ready to use his practical approaches to triumph over adversity.

About Jason Dennen:

Jason Dennen is an inspirational speaker, author, skydiver, mountain climber, triathlete, explorer, and has spent over 25 years in financial services. He was born and raised in New Jersey but felt a pull to explore and test his limits in the wide-open expanses of the West.

After years of searching to find his limits, one day he ran into his greatest challenge. A skydiving accident that nearly took his life. The crash broke 20 bones, badly damaged 4 organs, and thrust his heart from the left side to the right side of his body. He survived a coma that lasted 8 days. Even his doctors couldn’t believe he survived the traumatic accident with the injuries he incurred. He woke up from the coma with a badly broken body that required him to stay in the hospital for 3 and a half months, undergo 11 months of rehabilitation, and relearn to walk. After his doctor told him that it was unlikely he would ever run again, he decided to sign up for a triathlon to test the doctor’s prognosis. Less than 1 year after the accident, he completed a triathlon and proved the doctor wrong. And then he kept going and started climbing mountains again because doctors told him it would be impossible.

Jason had unknowingly spent his entire life training his body and mind for this moment. Every philosophy and principle Jason lived by and every ounce of physical strength and mental resilience he had built over his lifetime of living on the edge proved to be exactly what saved his life.

Jason is on a mission to empower people and organizations to overcome challenges that were once considered impossible. Jason not only inspires people and organizations, but Jason provides them with the tools and mindset to take on their greatest challenges and succeed.

Episode #81: The Skills That Made You a Great Clinician Are Killing You as a Leader

The same traits that make a great clinician — never asking for help, pushing through exhaustion, putting everyone else first — can make a terrible leader.
