7 Strokes Changed His Life: The Habits That Helped Him Rebuild | Dennis Henson

What would you change about your life if you were suddenly forced to confront your own mortality? In this episode of The Shaman Stories Podcast, Jeremy sits down with Dennis Henson, author, researcher, entrepreneur, and creator of the Body of Health Protocol.After experiencing seven strokes, Dennis found himself facing serious physical challenges, including difficulty walking, vision problems, and memory loss. His experience changed how he thought about health, longevity, and the choices we make every day. Rather than allowing those experiences to define the rest of his life, Dennis began researching lifestyle practices, nutrition, movement, and other approaches to wellness. Over time, he developed a collection of 39 habits that became the foundation of his Body of Health Protocol.Today, Dennis shares his personal recovery story and the lessons he believes can help others take a more active role in their well-being. In this episode, we discuss: - Dennis's experience surviving seven strokes - The warning signs he initially overlooked - How his health challenges changed his priorities - The creation of his 39-point Body of Health Protocol - Nutrition, hydration, and the importance of daily movement - The role of sleep, sunlight, and spending time in nature - Building healthier habits one step at a time - Gratitude, faith, and the power of a positive mindset - Why he believes longevity is about quality of life, not just living longer - The relationship between conventional medicine and holistic wellness - How personal challenges can become opportunities for transformation One of the most interesting parts of our conversation is Dennis's approach to overcoming challenges.Instead of viewing his health struggles as problems, he began treating them as projects, something he could research, understand, and work on one step at a time.We also explore the spiritual side of recovery, including gratitude, faith, connection with nature, and how confronting mortality can change the way we experience life.Whether you're interested in healthy aging, longevity, holistic wellness, or simply making better choices for your future, Dennis's story offers a powerful reminder that meaningful change often begins with small, consistent actions.
