Episode Description

You started creatine, felt bloated, broke out, noticed your hair shedding — and then wondered if you were crazy. You weren't. But you were missing something important.

Creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements in history. But almost all of that research was done on men. And when the wellness world rebranded it as a brain and energy supplement for women, nobody stopped to talk about hormones, cycle phases, gut tolerance, or the environment your body is actually in when you start taking it.

Dr. G breaks down exactly what's happening — and who creatine is actually for.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why creatine causes bloating, breakouts, and hair shedding in some women — and what it's actually telling you about your physiology

• The three groups of women when it comes to creatine: who benefits, who needs a modified approach, and who should skip it entirely for now

• What has to be in place before creatine can actually work — and why taking it on top of poor sleep, undereating, or overtraining almost always backfires

If you've tried creatine and felt worse, or you're wondering if it's worth trying — this is the episode that gives you a real answer.

Episode Description

This one is different. No guests. No framework. Just the voice that comes through when Dr. G goes still enough to listen.

In this special channeled episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez closes his eyes, opens his heart, and speaks directly from the intuitive voice he uses in his most powerful one-on-one sessions — the one that makes people cry because it goes straight to the deepest wound. What came through is a message about the one thing modern medicine has almost completely forgotten: that your capacity to give and receive love is not separate from your health. It is your health.

What this episode covers:

• Why your cells are directly tied to your ability to love — and what shuts that down at the biological level

• The real reason people stay sick, stay stuck, and stay disconnected — and the only responsibility you actually have to change it

• Why no disease can live in a body that is fully in resonance with love — and what that actually means in practice

If you've tried everything and still feel like something is missing — this is the episode that points to what it is.

Peptides: What Works, What's Experimental, and What to Skip | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #474 Apr 09, 2026

Episode Description

Peptides are everywhere right now. But nobody's telling you the part that actually matters.

Your feed is full of peptide content — faster recovery, anti-aging, performance, healing. And some of it is real. But peptides aren't supplements. They are biological signals that tell your cells how to behave. And when you treat them all like one category, you're not just wasting money — you're gambling with your biology.

Dr. G breaks down the full peptide landscape so you can stop guessing and start making an actual informed decision.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The 3 tiers of peptides — from FDA-approved medicine to experimental compounds with zero human safety data — and exactly where the popular ones fall

• Why the same peptide can be life-changing for one person and harmful for another (it's not placebo — it's physiology)

• How to evaluate sourcing, purity, and contamination risk before injecting anything into your body

Episode Description

You keep ending up in the same relationship. The same patterns. The same pain. And no matter how much work you think you've done — it finds you again.

Rev. Dr. Iyanla Vanzant is a six-time New York Times #1 bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and one of the most powerful voices in personal healing of our generation. Host of Iyanla: Fix My Life on OWN and called by Oprah the most powerful spiritual healer on the planet — but today, she's just Auntie. Her new book Spiritual Hygiene is a practical guide to clearing the emotional residue that has quietly been running your life, and this conversation is one of the most honest, most grounded Dr. G has had about what it actually takes to heal from the inside out.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why you keep attracting the same relationships — and what the pattern is actually telling you about what's unresolved inside you

• What emotional constipation really is, how it builds up over a lifetime, and why it eventually ruptures in ways you don't expect

• Why self-awareness — not forgiveness, not mantras, not more events — is the first real step to spiritual hygiene

If you've read the books, done the work, and still feel stuck — this is the episode that will show you why, and where to go next.

Episode Description

You reach for coffee when you're sleep deprived. But caffeine doesn't actually fix what sleep deprivation does to your brain — it just masks the fatigue signal while the underlying energy problem keeps getting worse.

Sleep deprivation is fundamentally a cellular energy crisis. Your brain's ability to generate and recycle ATP becomes impaired, and neural networks lose efficiency. A study in the Journal of Scientific Reports kept participants awake for 21 hours, then administered a high dose of creatine monohydrate. The results were striking — measurable improvements in processing speed and cognitive performance, confirmed by brain imaging showing a direct replenishment of the energy system sleep deprivation had drained.

In this episode, Dr. G breaks down:

• The critical difference between how caffeine and creatine affect your brain under sleep deprivation

• Why even moderate sleep loss — 5 to 6 hours — is quietly impacting your cognitive performance

• The creatine brands Dr. G personally trusts for purity and third-party testing

This isn't about replacing your morning coffee. It's about understanding what your brain actually needs — and having the right tools for the right situation.

She's a Postpartum Psychiatrist — And It Happened to Her | ft. Dr. Sarah Oreck HTS #471 Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

Episode Description

One in three women will experience postpartum depression — and most of them never see it coming.

Dr. Sarah Oreck is a reproductive psychiatrist and perinatal mental health specialist, but she didn't arrive at this work from the outside looking in. She navigated IVF, fertility struggles, late-term pregnancy loss, and her own postpartum depression — and realized that if getting care was this hard for someone inside the medical system, most women didn't stand a chance. What she built from that reckoning is one of the clearest, most honest conversations Dr. G has had about what motherhood actually does to the mind, body, and identity of a woman.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why postpartum depression affects far more women than we're told — and why rage, numbness, and panic are just as common as sadness

• How IVF, birth trauma, miscarriage history, and partner support all quietly shape your postpartum mental health before the baby even arrives

• Why the newborn phase feels so disconnected for so many mothers — and why that doesn't mean something is wrong with you

If you're trying to get pregnant, already pregnant, or supporting someone who is — this is the conversation no one is having loudly enough.

Get Fish Oil Guide: https://drchristiangonzalez.com/fish-oil-pdf-request-form/

Episode Description

44 fish oil companies were asked one simple question. Most of them went silent.

Fish oil is one of the most well-researched supplements on the market — but there's a side of the industry that never makes it onto the label. Fish oil oxidizes easily, bioaccumulates heavy metals, and can carry persistent organic pollutants like PCBs and dioxins. When the oil is rancid or contaminated, you're not just wasting money. You may be actively promoting the inflammation you're trying to fight.

Dr. Christian Gonzalez contacted 44 fish oil brands and asked for one thing: independent third-party testing on the finished product. Real documentation. Proof.

37 companies ignored the request entirely. One refused. One opted out. Only five brands provided full transparency — and some of the biggest names in the category were nowhere to be found.

In this episode, Dr. G covers:

• How oxidation turns your fish oil from anti-inflammatory to pro-inflammatory

• The heavy metals and contaminants you should always be testing for

• Why potency on the label frequently doesn't match what's in the capsule

• The five fish oil companies that earned a spot on the 2026 transparency list

If you take fish oil daily, this episode will completely change how you shop for it.

She Danced on Broadway. Then Chronic Pain Took Everything — Until She Rewired Her Brain | ft. Ashleigh Di Lello Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #469 Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

Episode Description

Your body isn't betraying you. It's been trying to reach you for years — and it's been screaming because you stopped listening.

Ashleigh Di Lello is a brain coach and creator of Bio Emotional Healing — but she didn't arrive here through academia. She arrived through four years of fighting for her life as a teenager, a failed surgery that stole her Broadway career and her ability to walk, nerve pain in nearly ten areas of her body, and a night on her bedroom floor when she finally ran out of ways to keep trying. What she built from that breaking point is one of the most embodied frameworks for chronic pain and nervous system healing Dr. G has come across — because she didn't just study it. She became her own guinea pig and got her life back.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why the brain creates pain as a protective mechanism — and how your life experiences, not just your injuries, determine where and how intensely you feel it

• Why people who do everything right — the protocols, the diets, the biohacking — still can't heal, and what's actually missing from the equation

• How to begin rebuilding trust with a body you've been at war with, and why compassion isn't just emotional — it's neurobiologically required for your brain to change

If you've been told your scans are clear but the pain is very real, or you've tried everything and still feel stuck — this episode is the missing piece.

Episode Description

Longevity has become a multi-million dollar industry built almost entirely on your fear.

Open Instagram or YouTube and you'll find doctors selling you concierge protocols, peptide stacks, advanced biomarker testing, and biohacking devices — all promising to add years to your life. And the algorithm keeps pushing it because fear sells.

But here's what nobody in the longevity space wants to admit:

The research doesn't back any of that up as a foundation.

The variables that consistently rise to the top in long-term population studies aren't the sexy ones. They're not the cold plunge, the red light panel, or the weekly labs. They're the fundamentals that are nearly impossible to monetize — and that's exactly why they don't go viral.

In this episode, Dr. G breaks down:

• The five dominant drivers of biological aging most doctors ignore

• Why muscle mass is your most metabolically protective tissue

• How insulin resistance silently accelerates aging for decades before diagnosis

• The real reason chronic low-grade inflammation is destroying your vascular health

• Why social isolation may be the single greatest longevity risk factor of all

• A simple weekly formula that outperforms any longevity protocol on the market

This episode isn't about tearing down the industry. It's about giving you the honest clinical picture — so you stop spending money on optimization before you've built a foundation worth optimizing.

Episode Description

You didn't fall in love with them. You fell in love with who you thought you'd finally become through their eyes.

Nima Rahmany spent 20 years as a chiropractor watching chronic illness follow relational ruptures — divorce, betrayal, grief — before leaving the entire system to understand why. A nervous system and attachment specialist, he built the Trigger Proof Method after hitting his own rock bottom: a toxic trauma bond, a moment of physical violence, and a reckoning with the question — how did I get here? What emerged is one of the clearest frameworks Dr. G has encountered for why relationships break down, and how they actually heal.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The three phases every relationship moves through — and why most couples get permanently stuck in phase two without ever knowing it exists

• Why the moment you get triggered, the pain you're feeling is your own self-abandonment — not what the other person did

• How unhealed nervous systems pass invisibly to children, and what it actually takes to break the cycle before it goes another generation

If your relationships keep following the same pattern no matter how hard you try — this is the upstream answer you've been missing.
