Join Dr. G and special guest Dr. Juliana Giles as they explore the complex connections between chronic diseases, trauma, and lifestyle choices in this enlightening episode. Together, they examine the rising rates of conditions like cancer and autoimmune disorders, focusing on how early trauma can dysregulate the nervous system, leading to immune and hormonal dysfunction. You’ll learn how nearly 90% of cancer cases are influenced by epigenetic factors, including lifestyle and environmental exposure, rather than genetics.

Will Siete Go Downhill? | #318 Oct 07, 2024

In this episode, Dr. G dives into the recent $1.2 billion acquisition of Siete Foods by PepsiCo and what it could mean for the health-conscious consumer. Siete, known for its grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free Mexican-American-inspired products, has gained a loyal following for its commitment to allergen-friendly foods. But now that PepsiCo is taking the reins, can we be sure the quality and authenticity will remain intact?

Dr. G also reveals several health and wellness brands you may not realize were acquired by major corporations, including Annie’s, RXBAR, and Garden of Life. With these takeovers come concerns about product changes—like the introduction of GMOs, preservatives, or shifting ingredient quality.

The Surprising Truth About Root Canals | Heal Thy Self #313 Sep 19, 2024

In a recent discussion with Dr. Sonia Chopra, a board-certified endodontist, we explored the intricacies of root canals, shedding light on their safety, efficacy, and common misconceptions. Dr. Chopra emphasizes that when performed by qualified professionals, root canals can effectively save teeth and prevent further dental issues. She highlights the stark contrast between well-executed and poorly done procedures, noting the complications that can arise from inadequate care. Advances in modern technology, such as 3D imaging and sound wave disinfection techniques, significantly enhance the success rates of root canals, which boast an impressive success rate of 95-97%. Dr. Chopra underscores the importance of patient advocacy, encouraging individuals to be proactive in their dental care, seek second opinions, and fully understand their treatment options. Through compelling anecdotes, including a case involving a 16-year-old girl whose root canal preserved her jaw and smile, she illustrates the potential positive outcomes of quality care, while also revealing that 50% of her practice involves addressing poorly executed root canals, underscoring the necessity for vigilance in dental treatment.

The Top 3 Best Tampon Brands (Product Review) | #312 Sep 16, 2024

In this video, Dr.G explores a recent study revealing toxic heavy metals in tampons, including those marketed as organic, and reviews various brands to help you make informed choices for your health. All tested tampons contained heavy metals, raising serious concerns. Focused on brands using organic cotton, avoiding harmful chemicals, and lacking bleaching agents. Notably, Organyc, Cora, and Viv emerged as top choices, being certified and tested for heavy metals. However, some brands, like Nature Care, claim no detectable heavy metals but lack publicly available testing data, and others to approach with caution include RAEL, Honeypot, OB, Playtex, and Toms of Maine, with some brands like August, Daye, and Garnuu missing in action. To minimize exposure to heavy metals, opt for the top-rated brands and seek out those with transparent testing results and certifications.

The Dangers Of Suppressing Emotions | 311 Sep 12, 2024

In this enlightening episode of our health and wellness podcast, Dr. G sits down with Salim Najjar to explore the shift from biohacking to bioharmonizing. They dive deep into how nervous system regulation is crucial for achieving optimal health and well-being. Salim Najjar explains the transition from optimizing health through technology to aligning with your environment, emphasizing the significance of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as a key biomarker for assessing autonomic nervous system health. The discussion covers the two primary states of the autonomic nervous system—sympathetic (stress) and parasympathetic (relaxation)—and the impact of unprocessed emotions on both physical and emotional health. Salim shares his personal journey from an engineering background to health and wellness, including how he reframed a shoulder injury as a growth opportunity and the pivotal role of HRV and nervous system regulation in his path. Listeners will gain actionable steps such as monitoring HRV with wearables, practicing emotional awareness through somatic work and meditation, and being mindful of their environment to enhance well-being. Tune in for valuable insights and practical advice on navigating the path to better health through bioharmonizing.

5 Signs Your Body Is Toxic #306 Aug 26, 2024

In this episode Dr. G discusses the lymphatic system's vital role in maintaining health and its impact on various bodily functions. The lymphatic system, crucial in naturopathic medicine, consists of lymphatic vessels, nodes, and associated organs that work together to support immune function, waste removal, and digestion. It operates without a central pump, relying on physical movement, such as walking and breathing, to facilitate lymph flow. Dr. G emphasizes the importance of hydration, proper nutrition, and techniques like lymphatic drainage massage in supporting lymphatic health and preventing congestion, while also addressing the system's role in cancer spread, allergies, and age-related changes.

The Truth About Tampons | #298 Jul 29, 2024

Are you aware of the hidden dangers in tampons? This video delves into the health risks associated with tampon use, focusing on toxic heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium. You'll learn about the health risks from these metals, how vaginal absorption affects your health, and why organic labels might not guarantee safety. Key findings reveal detectable levels of heavy metals in all tested tampons, with non-organic ones showing higher lead concentrations and organic ones having more arsenic. Contamination can come from materials, water, air, soil, and manufacturing processes. Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity include neurological issues, irritability, cognitive decline, gastrointestinal problems, and anemia from lead; memory loss, mood swings, and kidney issues from mercury; and skin problems, gastrointestinal distress, and cardiovascular issues from arsenic. For safer options, consider medical-grade silicone menstrual cups, research brands for manufacturing transparency, and ask about heavy metal testing and safety standards.

Acne Healing: Skincare Ingredient That Sabotages Your Journey | #264 Apr 02, 2024

In recent headlines, alarming reports have surfaced regarding the presence of a cancer-causing chemical, benzene, in popular acne treatment products from well-known brands like Proactiv, Clearasil, Clinique, and others. But amidst the flurry of news, confusion reigns supreme. Should you rush to rid your bathroom shelves of these skincare essentials, or is there more to the story? Join Dr. Christian Gonzalez on the latest episode of Heal Thy Self as we dissect the truth behind benzene in acne products.

As major publications such as CNN, TIME, and USA Today amplify the concerns, it's crucial to understand the scope of this issue. Benzene, a known carcinogen, has infiltrated various consumer products over the years, from sunscreens to hand sanitizers and now acne treatments. With its presence in plastics, solvents, and even vehicle exhaust, benzene poses significant health risks upon exposure.

Delving deeper into the problem, Dr. Christian Gonzalez explore the reasons why benzene is a cause for concern. Acute exposure to this chemical can lead to a range of adverse effects, including drowsiness, headaches, and respiratory irritation. Furthermore, chronic exposure has been linked to severe health conditions such as leukemia and blood disorders, highlighting the urgent need for vigilance.

Enter Valisure, an independent laboratory renowned for its meticulous scrutiny of healthcare products. Their recent investigation into acne products containing benzoyl peroxide—a topical antiseptic—revealed alarming findings. Under elevated temperatures, these products produced benzene at levels exceeding FDA concentrations by a staggering 800 times. Notably, a test conducted on Proactiv acne products stored in a hot environment yielded benzene levels surpassing EPA regulations by over 1200 times.

So, where does this leave consumers? With a call to action. Advocate for steering clear of acne care products containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and adapalene. Instead, opt for gentler alternatives and prioritize EWG verified personal care products. Ultimately, acne treatment extends beyond skincare; it's about fostering internal well-being.

Tune in to Heal Thy Self as Dr. Christian Gonzalez navigate the complexities of benzene in acne products, empowering you to make informed choices for your health and skincare regimen.

Show Notes:

Understanding the prevalence of benzene in consumer products and its health implications.
Examining Valisure's investigation into benzene contamination in acne products.
The detrimental effects of benzene exposure on human health, including acute and chronic risks.
Practical tips for consumers, including ingredient avoidance and opting for safer alternatives.

Radon: The Chemical in Homes that cause Cancer | #262 Mar 25, 2024

Are you a homeowner or have you been renting a home for over a decade? If so, this week's episode is a must-listen. Join us as we uncover a hidden danger lurking in many homes—one that could pose a significant risk of cancer.

In this episode of HTS, Dr. Christian Gonzalez shine a spotlight on radon, a silent intruder present in 1 in 15 homes. Despite its prevalence, it's a topic often overlooked in discussions about health and safety.

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, emerges from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It's invisible, odorless, and tasteless, making detection without proper equipment nearly impossible.

Shockingly, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, following closely behind smoking. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year are linked to radon exposure. But radon knows no borders. Elevated levels have been detected in homes worldwide, highlighting its universal threat to health.

Detecting and Mitigating Radon: Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect your loved ones. The first crucial step? Get a radon test. Short-term and long-term tests are available, providing essential insights into your home's radon levels.

Taking Action: If test results reveal elevated radon levels, don't panic. Mitigation systems can effectively reduce radon levels by up to 99%. Proper installation and continuous monitoring are key to ensuring your home remains a safe haven.

Join us as we delve into the world of radon, arming you with the knowledge needed to safeguard your home and loved ones from this hidden danger.

Join us on the latest episode of Heal Thy Self as we delve into the pressing question: "Is Oral sex worse than smoking for throat cancer?"

With headlines buzzing about the connection between HPV and throat cancer, it's essential to separate fact from fiction. Dr. Christian Gonzalez navigates through the confusion with solid scientific insights and practical tips for infection prevention.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a pervasive concern globally, with over 200 related viruses, including more than 40 types transmitted through sexual contact.

Raising an Emotionally Balanced Child with Dr. G | #254 Feb 26, 2024

Raising kids is no easy feat, but what if there was a better way that set up both you and your child for success?

This week Dr. G dives into common parenting styles, how childhood trauma plays a role in parenting, and which, if any theory you should be paying attention to raise an emotionally balanced child.

Parenting theories discussed in this episode:

Attachment Theory: Focuses on infant-caregiver bonding shaping development

Behaviorism: Uses rewards and consequences to encourage/discourage behaviors

Cognitive Development Theory: Kids construct mental models of the world through experiences.

Social Learning Theory: Kids observe and imitate attitudes and behaviors

Ecological Systems Theory: Child development is influenced by broader social and environmental factors.

Authoritative Parenting: High responsiveness with clear boundaries and expectations from parents.

Montessori Method: Child-led learning by encouraging independence and respect for a child's natural psychological development.

Gentle Parenting: Parents lead with empathy, respect, understanding, and boundary setting.

As Dr. G describes, daily accumulated stressors like lack of emotional attunement, warmth and autonomy-support early on can have significant impacts. However, by using a more Supportive Parenting style, you will see a numerous benefits in your children and even yourself including:

Increased nervous system resilience in children
Larger hippocampus: Improves memory and learning
Smaller amygdala: Reduces anxiety and fear conditioning
Higher vagal tone: Ability to recover from stressors
More balanced limbic system: Healthy emotional regulation
Breaking of generational trauma patterns
Opportunities to heal our own nervous systems
Ability to parent from an authentic, compassionate heart-space
Heightened self-awareness around our ingrained habits

Tune into this episode to upgrade your parenting approach and family dynamic. Walk away with insights on how gentle parenting benefits kids in the short and long-term when it comes to behavior, mental health, relationships and beyond. It's time to challenge assumptions and lead with an open heart.

Also, there's a buzz going around about adding salt to water for better hydration. We see it all over social media, with many swearing by its benefits. But is this practice backed by science? I'm here to provide you with the facts.

Topics:

- Can repressed emotions cause physical, chronic pain?

○ Yes - emotions cause pain. Pain actually is an emotion.

○ It's a negative emotion. It's associated with uncertainty, which brings

on fear.

● We end up in this vicious cycle of “if it makes me feel uncomfortable, I'm

going to stop doing it.”

○ The more we can understand the reasons why things are

uncomfortable, the more we can embrace things that are

uncomfortable so that they can make us better people.

○ Oftentimes we deal with chronic pain because we're withdrawn from

the things we need to do simply because those things are

uncomfortable.

● So many Americans are on opioids.. we are conditioned from an early age

to withdraw from pain

○ Medication mutes the pain.

● Emotional pain is a nervous system thing.

● Pain is a negative emotional response that's directly tied to uncertainty

about something that we're feeling.

○ The uncertainty about what’s happening to us causes more pain - all

coming from neurological response to physical sensation.

● The first step to eliminating chronic pain is to adopt the belief that you can eliminate your chronic pain.

○ The number one thing that you need to have is the belief that you can change, the belief that you can live a better life.

○ Start to craft the life that you want to live instead of holding back the

tears which holds back the emotion, which holds back the change.

● Think about why you're saying sorry before you say sorry next time.

○ People often apologize for being themselves.

○ As soon as you realize you have nobody to apologize to you, life

changes.

● An injury is a decision that I can't do something.

○ Irritation is the moment that we start to feel something.

○ Pain is the negative emotional response to that irritation.

○ I'm in pain and I want to change something.

○ Injury is the decision that I can't.

● People come in and say “I have a back injury. I have an ankle injury.” That's interesting because you walked in here your ankles working, your back is working. You're able to do all the things. It seems like it just hurts you.

○ They decided this is my excuse this is my reason for not being who I was supposed to be.

● It's going to be irritating. This is going to be uncomfortable. Irritation, drives, adaptation

● We are all a few decisions away from living a completely different life. We have all the power to make that decision.

As a physician and Stanford lecturer, Dr. Molly Maloof has spent her career providing personalized medicine services to high-performing technology executives, billionaire investors, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and Academy Award winning actors.

Not just metaphorically but in a measurable reduction in the energy output from their cells. In response, Dr. Molly developed a science-backed program focused on mitochondrial health, used successfully by her patients, which offered lifestyle changes that target the unique biology of women and provide immediate and long-term benefits--now available in her book The Spark Factor.“The idea is steady gradual improvement, not perfection. The goal is to help get your spark back, so you can spend the rest of your life empowered, alive, mobile, and resilient,” she writes.

Her world turned upside down when her daughter was hospitalized soon after being born with symptoms no doctor could figure out. Through doing her own research, she was able to help her daughter recover. She also realized that the many years of chronic fatigue, acne, and brain fog she had was due to environmental toxicity. This opened the world of root causes she had never considered before as a conventional medical doctor.

When she moved to San Francisco, she decided to make it her mission to help people reduce their toxin load because she believes environmental toxins to be one important root cause not enough doctors are talking about."

Knowledge Bomb:

How to have the best morning ritual ever:

- How to create a sustainable habit.

Ashley Frost is a NEO Emotional Release Practitioner specialising in the topic of AngerWork.

Ashley guides people, through psycho-somatic bodywork, to tune in with their deeply repressed emotions such as ANGER, SADNESS, SHAME, GUILT, PLEASURE and more. Allowing ourselves to connect to these primal emotions that also deserve to be expressed. Ashley allows her clients to connect to their true humanness, through radically witnessing and feeling their feelings.

Anger is one of the most repressed emotions within our society. It holds the key to our self autonomy, our power, our ability to take self-responsibility for our lives & actions. Once this energy is awakened it allows us to uphold our boundaries, respect ourselves and the world we live in. It is an emotion so alien to many of us - either not 'allowing' & pushing it down when it does show its head or conversely allowing it to consume us.

AngerWork is about connecting with this emotion, its roots, its impact in our lives, about finding healthy ways to connect with and express it which empower and embolden us.

I’m Dr Leedia and I am a biological dentist focusing on whole body health: specifically, women’s dental health and early childhood dental education.

Dental trauma often stems from childhood, and that can be significantly changed through infant oral health before teeth come in and positive connection. Dental decay ranks as the #1 chronic disease worldwide amongst children - completely preventable.

Over 65% of women go through preventable dental disease during or soon after their pregnancies. Gum disease and inflammation in the oral cavity are linked to premature labor, lower birthweights, heart disease and the list goes on!

It’s time to put our mouth back where it belongs, our body! The mouth-body connection is a real one. Hormones don’t discriminate. Dental materials and procedures used in the mouth have an impact on the body. And many physical diseases impact the wellness of the oral cavity.

My mission as a dentist is to bring women’s dental health to the table, through education, and empowerment. In creating a liaison between the medical world and dental world, we are bridging the gap and creating the ability for our patients to achieve optimal whole body health.

GUEST BIO:

We're an MD couple with a passion to bring forward the truth about the current health paradigm. Satya literally means "essence of truth" in Sanskrit. The truth is that everyone can be healthy if they understand how their bodies work. Society has pulled a veil over people's eyes into believing their health relies on a doctor, procedure or pill. By using genetic science and biofield imaging we can get our own individual blueprint about what our bodies need to function optimally. Not every supplement, lifestyle technique or therapy will work for all of us, so we need to be able to target these modalities to our own biochemical and energetic blueprint. This is a possibility that's unlocked through gene testing and biofield imaging. We've found that when people learn this about themselves, they reclaim their power, and suddenly any disease label or condition disappears. The truth is that health is our fundamental right, we need to take back our power and we're here to show you how.

Top 3 disruptors for fertility, and are natural births safe with Maral Shabak Jan 17, 2022

Knowledge Bomb: Dr. G talks about the top 3 disruptors for fertility. If you are planning on having a child, these are the top interventions to address.

Guest segment: Maral and Allison of the Tourmaline Collective join to educate us on midwifery. They teach us what a midwife is, how they work with the parents, and dispel any myths on this process. Is a natural birth safe? What does a holistic approach to pregnancy look like? How do we support the parents pre-conception and post-partum. All these and more in this special segment.

Maral Shabak Bio:

Maral began her Midwifery career in 2014 when she was accepted into Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery. Leading up to finding her path, she earned B.A. degrees in Anthropology and Women’s Studies. Her experience at the University of California, Irvine taught her that we must use our specific skills to bring forth positive change. Maral was born in Iran and moved to the U.S. at the age of 6. Going through such a large transition from one culture to another taught her that we must be open and flexible in order to move forward; we cannot hold tightly onto traditions simply because we haven’t been exposed to another way. Maral’s goal is to bridge the gap between M.D.s and Midwives so that we may blend our cultures and select practices that are truly optimal. She firmly believes that if we can provide choice, confidence, and peace at the moment of birth for families, we can ensure a future full of those same qualities.

Allison Tartari Bio:

Allison found her way to midwifery care through the pregnancy and birth of her fourth child. She knew she wanted to help support women during pregnancy, and avoid the unnecessary interventions she encountered with her other children. She became passionate about educating families on other, safer options for birth. She became a D.O.N.A trained doula and followed that path for 8 years, attending many births in and out of the hospital setting. It became clear to her that most people are not aware that they have rights, that they can say “No” to a doctor or nurse. She had to share this knowledge and decided to become a midwife. She applied and was accepted to the Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery in 2014. During her doula career and experience as a student midwife she learned that consistency in care provides better outcomes, which is a major component our system is lacking. Out of this passion for holistic, integrative healthcare Tourmaline Birth and Wellness Center was born.

Allison, Josie and Maral, Licensed Midwives came together to create Tourmaline Birth and Wellness Collective. As midwives they saw a need for collaborative holistic care for the growing families that they serve. As three different generations of midwives they are committed to serving families at each and every stage. Whether it be preconception, family planning, pregnancy, postpartum, miscarriage or well women care. One of our goals at Tourmaline is to improve maternal mortality rates in the United States. The United States was recently labeled one of the most dangerous places to give birth in the developed world, with more than 60% of pregnancy-related deaths in the US being preventable. Tourmaline's partnership with Thrive Wellness Collective a 501c3 expands midwifery access and education to everyone, regardless of economic status to improve birth outcomes and lifelong wellness one family at a time.

She began her career as a trial lawyer who specialized in settling cases by bringing both sides together, a personal passion of hers. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind so she could focus on her family. Luckily, she was still able to use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the field of natural health, and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. To share her discovery with the world, Tina along with her husband created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.

#45 - Healthy Beds, Mattress Reviews, & Guest Tyler Jean | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G Jan 06, 2020

Knowledge bomb: Toxic beds and what to look for in buying a new one

Special guest: Tyler is a Naturopathic doctoral candidate whose journey in medicine began in college when he fell in love with food. Tyler believes that physicians have the unique opportunity to be a teacher and a mentor that encourages others to take self-responsibility for their health and empower their patients and the general public with the knowledge necessary for living a healthy, happy, and sustainable lifestyle. Tyler believes that we, as a society, are starting to move toward a more preventative and integrative approach to medicine. With the rise in chronic disease and the increased patient frustration from minimal treatment options, now, more than ever, people are starting to get second opinions from alternative medicine practitioners. While it can be easy to get caught up in the latest fads and dietary trends, Tyler believes that the food we eat creates the foundation for life. When it comes to food choices, his golden principle is this: Eat nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods, that celebrate plant diversity, emphasize quality, and encourages a balanced, adequate, and varied diet. By making this simple shift, you can make a profound impact on your health and vitality. Tyler joins the show to share his expansive knowledge on inflammation. He explains how it is a root cause too many diseases and how to identify the factors driving it.

Through his passion with functional foods he speaks of the top foods to heal from chronic inflammation as well as what else contributes to blocking us from fully healing.

#38 - Airline Flights Knowledge Bomb & Special Guest Tim Coleman | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G Nov 17, 2019

Knowledge bomb: How to protect your health while flying.

Special guest: Tim Coleman stops by for one of the most pivotal interviews yet. Tim speaks about bodily integration of trauma being the #1 thing to address for true health. He teaches us how the brain/ego tries to put logic behind a trauma without letting the body integrate it as nature intended. In the animal world we see their instinctual breathing and shaking to release acute trauma. Tim speaks how at a young age we are taught to think rather than feel which prevents our instinctual mechanism of trauma integration. Mind blowing interview.

Formerly a fitness coach for over 7 years, Tim educated clients on how their nutrition, fitness regimens and lifestyle played a pivotal role in achieving the life they desired. This career path lead him to becoming a Quantum Energetics & EFT practitioner and health coach for over a decade now, Tim transferred his focus from his clients physical state to their emotional.

He’s had the opportunity to help his clients get to the root cause of their stress, process their trauma, and overcome the ailments that have developed as a result of emotional clutter. The strategies and methods that he applies to his clients helps them overcome addictions, self sabotage, eliminate phobias, and finally live the life congruent to one they resonate with.
