Doctor Reviews Chobani Lawsuit Claims (Truth vs. Clickbait)
Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2/ Get My Clean Yogurt List https://drchristiangonzalez.com/chobani-pdf-request-form/ Episode Description: This week, the internet exploded with one alarming headline: “Chobani yogurt can give you cancer.” So what’s really going on? Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down the federal class action lawsuit accusing Chobani of selling yogurt contaminated with phthalates — plastic chemicals linked to hormonal disruption, lower testosterone, fertility issues, and even cancer. But here’s what the headlines got wrong. These chemicals aren’t ingredients. They are contaminants that leach in from the plastic equipment used throughout modern food production. In this episode, Dr. G separates fear from fact and answers the real questions: • What is this lawsuit actually about? • How do phthalates end up in your yogurt? • What does bioaccumulation mean and why does it matter for your hormones? • Which yogurt brands actually test clean? Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:13 - The Lawsuit Details: What's Actually Happening 2:39 - False Advertising vs Poisoning Claims 3:28 - What Are Phthalates & Why They Matter 4:24 - Health Effects: Testosterone, Fertility & Metabolism 6:41 - The Real Problem: It's Not Just Chobani 7:32 - Dosage Question: How Worried Should You Be? 9:35 - Cumulative Exposure & Low-Dose Effects 10:20 - Where Contamination Actually Comes From 11:31 - Who Should Be Most Concerned

Episode Description: Kids today can’t sit still without a screen. Their days are packed from morning to night, every game has rules, every moment has a goal, and the second boredom hits, the phone swoops in. Here’s what that’s creating: anxious teens who become adults afraid to fail, constantly waiting to be told what to do. In this episode, Dr. G sits down with Cas Holman, the world-famous toy designer whose play systems are transforming classrooms worldwide. Cas doesn’t make toys that entertain kids, she builds tools that awaken creativity and imagination. Together, they explore how modern parenting, performance culture, and screen addiction have stripped us (and our children) of something vital: unstructured play. In This Episode: • Why kids have lost the ability to entertain themselves • How constant stimulation leads to anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of failure • Why boredom is essential for creativity and nervous system regulation • How to design your home and habits to invite more play — without turning your kitchen into a jungle gym • The difference between toys that entertain and toys that teach imagination • How rigid upbringings or lack of play can block self-expression as adults • Why play strengthens relationships, community, and emotional connection • One simple way to bring more play into your day — starting right now Key Takeaways: ✅ When play disappears, so does curiosity, creativity, and confidence ✅ Adults who suppress play often feel disconnected, anxious, or creatively blocked ✅ Play isn’t childish — it’s medicine for your nervous system ✅ You can rewire your stress response through small, daily moments of joy and play ✅ The most powerful form of healing sometimes looks like laughter, movement, and imagination Find Cas Holman here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casholman/?hl=en Website: https://casholman.com/ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:53 – What Kids Did That Adults Need to Rediscover 6:30 – Free Play vs Structured Play 12:10 – Why Unstructured Play is Critical for Child Development 17:13 – How Adults Suppress Play & the "Play Voice" vs "Adult Voice" 23:18 – Three Steps to Reconnect with Play as an Adult 34:01 – Simple Shifts: How to Make Daily Life More Playful 45:20 – How Play Strengthens Relationships & Partnerships 51:17 – One Playful Practice to Try This Week 54:29 – About the Book: "Playful" – Science, Stories & Solutions

Doctor Reviews Top Pre-Natal Brands (Best & Worst Revealed)
Episode description: When it comes to prenatal vitamins, the industry is failing women, period. After reviewing 27 major brands, Dr. G found that only two could prove their formulas were truly safe, clean, and effective. The rest? Ignored testing requests, refused transparency, or relied on influencer marketing instead of science. If you’re pregnant or planning to be, this episode could change everything. In This Episode: • The 2 safest prenatal vitamins of 2025 — and why they passed Dr. G’s strict criteria • The 25 brands that failed, including Ritual, Needed, Garden of Life, and others • Why folate (not folic acid) is critical for your baby’s brain and spinal development • How a common gene variant (found in 40% of women) changes how your body absorbs vitamins • The most overlooked nutrients in prenatals — choline, DHA, iodine, and iron • What to look for in a certificate of analysis and how to verify third-party testing • How low-quality formulas can quietly harm your baby’s brain, thyroid, and nervous system Key Takeaways: ✅ Only two brands met the highest standards of transparency and bioavailability. ✅ Synthetic vitamins like folic acid and cyanocobalamin (B12) may be ineffective for women with common gene variants. ✅ Look for methylated forms of B-vitamins, bioavailable choline, and algae-based DHA. ✅ Demand transparency — if a company won’t share testing data, it doesn’t deserve your trust.

After months of investigating 21 major cookware brands, Dr. Christian Gonzalez uncovered a truth the industry doesn’t want you to know: only one passed his strict standards for safety, transparency, and purity. Most companies, including billion-dollar icons like Le Creuset, Caraway, All-Clad, HexClad, and GreenPan - either ignored requests for safety data, relied on toxic PFAs coatings, or hid behind influencer marketing. In this episode, Dr. G exposes which brands are quietly contaminating your food, the dangerous materials to avoid, and how to choose cookware that protects your brain, hormones, and nervous system. To get the full updated product list, visit: 👉 https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2/ 🔍What You’ll Learn • The #1 safest cookware brand of 2025 • The 20 toxic brands to avoid • Why “eco,” “green,” and “nonstick” pans still leach forever chemicals (PFAs) • How cheap cookware releases heavy metals like lead, nickel, and cadmium into your food • The cookware materials that are actually safe and non-reactive • How to identify real transparency vs. marketing hype 🧾The Criteria Every company was asked to provide: • Full material list — aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, or copper • PFAs/PFOA-free verification and lab documentation • Third-party testing for heavy metals, lead, cadmium, and glyphosate • Certificates of Analysis for every product line • GMP or ISO-certified manufacturing facilities • Sustainability data — recyclable materials and eco-friendly packaging💬 💬Final Thoughts You cook every day—so you’re exposed every day.

Trauma Expert: Heal Childhood Pain by Regulating Your Nervous System | ft. Anna Runkle HTS w/ DrG #424
Sponsored By: → Puori | For an exclusive offer go to puori.com/drg and use code DRG for 20% OFF the already discounted subscription prices. → JASPR | For an exclusive offer go to jaspr.co/DRG and get $200 OFF for a limited time. Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Episode Description: Have you ever noticed that talking about your trauma sometimes makes you feel worse? That’s because talking only trims the branches—it doesn’t touch the roots. In this week’s episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez sits down with Anna Runkle, creator of the viral movement The Crappy Childhood Fairy, to explore why traditional talk therapy often fails to heal trauma — and what actually does. Anna shares how, after years of therapy that left her feeling worse, she discovered one simple, daily nervous system practice that changed everything. Within two weeks, her PTSD symptoms were gone — and her life was never the same. What We Cover • Hidden signs of trauma most people miss including disorientation, clumsiness, and feeling “off” for no reason • Why talking about trauma can backfire, and how to create space for real emotional processing • Emotional flashbacks explained and how preverbal trauma silently shapes adult choices in love, work, and life • Nervous system regulation techniques that bring rapid relief and help you reconnect to yourself • Anna’s expressive writing method that helped her clear PTSD in two weeks • How trauma-driven decisions shape entire lives — from partners to careers — and how to break the cycle • The surprising power of simple movement for emotional regulation • A practical boundary phrase that shuts down conflict without drama • Talking ≠ healing. Over-talking about trauma can keep the nervous system dysregulated. • Regulation first, insight second. Healing begins when the body feels safe. • Old patterns drive new problems. Many adult struggles are rooted in unconscious trauma responses. • Healing can start fast. You don’t need years of suffering to feel relief — the right tools can shift things quickly. • Connection is the goal. Regulating your nervous system opens the door to deeper relationships and real belonging. About the Guest Anna Runkle, known online as The Crappy Childhood Fairy, is a bestselling author, trauma educator, and creator of one of the internet’s fastest-growing trauma-healing communities. Her approach to recovery focuses on nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and practical, self-guided tools for real-world transformation.

Not all whey protein is created equal. After months of investigating 52 different whey protein brands, Dr. Christian Gonzalez uncovered a truth the industry doesn’t want you to know: only 5 passed his strict standards for purity, transparency, and safety. Most companies either ignored requests for testing data, refused third-party transparency, or hid behind marketing claims. In this episode, Dr. G breaks down how to separate clean, effective proteins from the toxic imposters and why the difference matters for your longevity, muscle health, brain, and hormones. To get the full list, visit this link and enter your email: https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2/ ⸻ 🔍 What You’ll Learn • The 5 cleanest whey proteins of 2025 • Hidden toxins and contaminants most brands don’t disclose • Why low-quality whey can damage your brain and nervous system • What true transparency looks like — and which companies failed to provide it ⸻ 🧾 The Criteria Every brand was asked to provide: • Source of protein (grass-fed, organic, non-GMO) • GMP or third-party-audited manufacturing • Certificates of Analysis for every batch • Testing for heavy metals, pesticides, glyphosate, microbes, and allergens • Cold micro-filtration processing (no solvents or high heat) • Clean formulas free from fillers and artificial sweeteners Only five companies passed every test. ⸻ 🚫 Brands to Avoid Dozens of companies failed to respond, denied participation, or refused transparency — including some of the most trusted names in fitness. Without third-party testing, you simply can’t know what’s in your protein powder. 💬 Final Thoughts In 2025, there’s no excuse for secrecy in the supplement industry. If a company can’t prove what’s in their product, they don’t deserve your trust or your money. If you care about your longevity, muscle health, and protecting your brain and hormones, this is a must-watch.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Episode Description: Have you ever caught yourself saying “yes” when every part of you wanted to say “no”? Or smiling through discomfort because it felt safer than speaking your truth? That’s not just people-pleasing—it’s survival. Psychologist and author Dr. Ingrid Clayton calls it the fawn response: a trauma pattern where your body learns to appease, perform, or caretake as a way to stay safe. It’s not a conscious choice—it’s conditioning written into the nervous system when speaking up once felt dangerous. In this raw and illuminating conversation, Dr. Clayton joins Dr. G to explore: • What fawning really is — and why it’s more than just “being too nice” • The childhood roots of fawning: when kids learn to appease to survive chaos, neglect, or abuse • Why fawning often gets misdiagnosed as codependency, people-pleasing, or “low self-esteem” • The hidden signs: hypervigilance, scanning the room for other people’s moods, anxiety you don’t even recognize as anxiety • Gaslighting yourself — how trauma survivors often minimize their own experiences with toxic positivity or “it wasn’t that bad” narratives • Why setting boundaries can feel life-threatening — and why it must start with building safety inside your own body, not just “trying harder” • The link between fawning and anger: how unexpressed rage gets trapped in the body until you learn to give it voice • How fawning shows up in adulthood: in relationships where one person takes up 80% of the space and you squeeze yourself into the other 20% • Why siblings in the same household adapt differently — one might fight, another flees, another fawns, depending on role, temperament, and family dynamics • The gifts hidden inside fawning: heightened sensitivity, intuition, even artistry and performance — and how to reclaim those without losing yourself Dr. Clayton also shares her personal story: growing up in a chaotic home, becoming a therapist and author, and realizing that even after decades of training, she was still living out this survival response. Her journey shows how awareness, somatic work, and slow, safe practice can turn survival patterns into resilience and presence. If you’ve ever felt invisible, unheard, or like you’re living for everyone but yourself—this episode will help you see that you’re not broken. You’re adaptive. And you can change. 👉 Ready to understand why you’ve been living small—and how to finally take up space? Listen now.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ We spend years teaching kids how to read, write, and memorize facts. But almost no one teaches them how to feel. This week on Heal Thy Self, Dr. G sits down with Dr. Lori Woodley, a counselor, author, and nonprofit founder who has spent 30 years working with kids, families, and schools. Her message is simple but life-changing: the most important skill we can teach kids isn’t math or grammar. It’s emotional intelligence. Because here’s the truth: If a child can’t name their feelings, they can’t regulate them. If they can’t regulate their emotions, they can’t build confidence. And without confidence, they grow up wearing masks, hiding their fear, doubting their worth, and drifting through life without direction. In this conversation, Lori shares powerful insights for parents, educators, and anyone healing their inner child: The single question that instantly builds trust: “What do you need right now?” Why the #1 parenting mistake is trying to “teach a lesson” instead of listening. How kids actually feel the energy adults try to hide and why hypocrisy destroys trust faster than anything. Why confidence is the foundation skill for every child, and how emotional literacy unlocks it. The danger of power struggles and how to replace them with collaboration and respect. How triggers from our own childhood show up in parenting, and why conscious reflection matters more than perfection. Why kids are more autonomous and aware than we think and how to honor that without losing healthy boundaries. How emotional intelligence is a muscle that gets stronger with practice, for kids and adults. The story of Lori’s nonprofit All It Takes, co-founded with her daughter, that’s bringing these tools to schools, educators, and families around the world. This isn’t just a parenting conversation. It’s about building the kind of emotional literacy that shapes resilient kids, healthier families, and even stronger communities. If you’ve ever wished your child or even your inner child had more confidence, resilience, and self-trust, this episode could change everything. 👉 Listen now and learn how to raise (and become) emotionally intelligent humans.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Episode Description: Exhausted no matter how much you sleep? Struggling with brain fog, stubborn weight, thinning hair, or mood swings; only to hear your doctor say, “Everything looks normal”? You’re not alone. Millions of people are being dismissed because the medical system is wired to miss what’s really happening. Lab ranges are too broad. Subtle red flags get ignored. And for women especially, symptoms are too often brushed off as stress, hormones, or aging. This week on Heal Thy Self, Dr. G sits down with McCall McPherson, nationally recognized clinician and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, to expose the hidden epidemic of undiagnosed thyroid dysfunction. You’ll learn why standard medicine misses it, the early signs you need to catch (like thinning eyebrows, high cholesterol, and even feeling cold all the time), and how Hashimoto’s remission is possible when you address the root causes. We also dive into why “get off your meds” promises are false hope, how trendy hacks like cold plunges can backfire, and the overlooked emotional side of thyroid health: from repression to losing your voice. In this episode you’ll discover: • Why thyroid dysfunction often goes undiagnosed for years • The flaws in “normal” lab ranges that keep patients suffering • Overlooked symptoms that point to hidden thyroid issues • Why women are disproportionately dismissed and gaslit by medicine • How Hashimoto’s remission is possible with the right approach • The danger of chasing “get off meds” promises • When popular wellness trends, like cold plunges, can make things worse • The emotional link between thyroid health, repression, and using your voice If you’ve ever felt unheard or stuck with symptoms no one can explain, this conversation will finally connect the dots, and give you a new path forward. 🎧 Listen now to uncover what your doctor might be missing. 0:00 - Introduction 2:07 - Rapid Fire 8:32 - The 2018 Study That Broke Thyroid Care 14:18 - The Essential Thyroid Panel Your Doctor Should Order 25:14 - The One Symptom That Screams Thyroid Problem 28:16 - Hidden Drivers 34:17 - Foods That Trigger Thyroid Inflammation 40:05 - The Thyroid-Fertility Crisis No One Talks About 44:48 - What It Really Feels Like When Your Thyroid Comes Back Online 49:40 - Best Bang-for-Buck Thyroid Interventions

This isn’t about grinding harder. It’s about finally hearing what your soul has been saying all along. In this episode, you’ll discover: ✓ How to break the cycle of recycled fear before it takes root in your body ✓ Why your words reshape your cells—and how to choose ones that heal ✓ A 60-second “attention reset” that instantly calms the nervous system ✓ The myth of multitasking—and how monotasking makes you more productive and peaceful ✓ A compassionate way to free yourself from phone addiction without going off-grid ✓ How self-talk shapes your focus, your mood, and even your biology ✓ A micro-ritual to find stillness in the middle of overwhelm ✓ Why endless hacks backfire—and what true consistency unlocks instead ✓ How presence amplifies creativity, relationships, and sleep If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this conversation is your reset button.

Dr. Keira Barr is a board-certified dermatologist and pioneer in psychodermatology who diagnosed her own melanoma — and discovered that the real culprit behind most skin struggles isn’t bacteria, hormones, or even genetics. It’s your nervous system, stuck in stress mode. Inside this episode, you’ll discover: • The stress–skin pipeline: Why cortisol breaks down collagen faster than age. • Acne + anxiety: 75% of acne sufferers also struggle with stress — and why flare-ups mirror your emotions. • Eczema, psoriasis & hives decoded: The specific emotions tied to each, from grief to suppressed anger. • Skin as armor: How trauma imprints on your skin, even decades later. • The 2-minute ritual: A self-touch practice that activates oxytocin and calms your skin from the inside out. • Generational echoes: Why mom’s stress during pregnancy predisposes babies to eczema. • The vacation effect: Why your skin clears when you leave your stress behind — not because of creams. • The shame loop: How picking and prodding are coping strategies, not bad habits. • Beauty, redefined: “Why would I be anti anything about myself? Beauty is acceptance of who we are in our skin.” This isn't about adding more steps to your routine. It's about understanding that your skin is your nervous system's billboard. Dr. Barr shows you how to address the root cause of inflammation from the inside out. Stop fighting your skin and start listening to it. Your clearest complexion is waiting on the other side of nervous system regulation.

From fight/flight to calm: How pings, tabs, and notifications keep you dysregulated—and practical ways to downshift your physiology fast.

Morning priming, fixed: The single habit that hijacks your focus before your feet hit the floor—and a three-minute alternative that protects your day. Rewriting your reward loops: Dopamine, novelty, and cravings—how to design “friction” and set a realistic dopamine budget that sticks. Environment by default: Notification triage, home-screen layout, and workspace cues that make focus automatic (and distraction annoying). Attention training that works: Short, science-backed micro-exercises to lengthen your focus span and reduce the urge to check. Boundaries that hold: Simple scripts to protect dinner, date night, and deep work—without becoming “that person” glued to their phone. Real-world playbooks: The habits Dr. Montminy teaches in companies and schools to restore mental bandwidth—adapted for your life. This isn’t more willpower.

Cancer Expert: 99% of Cancer Is NOT Genetic & Your Lifestyle Can Stop It | ft. Dr. Connealy HTS #415
Sponsored By: → Cornbread Hemp | For an exclusive offer go to cornbreadhemp.com/drg and use promo code DRG for 30% OFF your first order! Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Cancer has been growing in your body for 8-10 years before you feel anything. While conventional doctors wait for symptoms—lumps, pain, bleeding—you're losing nearly a decade of prevention time. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, who runs one of America's largest integrative cancer centers, reveals the shocking truth: less than 1% of cancers are actually genetic. The rest are completely preventable, but medical school teaches disease management, not prevention protocols. She's developed blood tests that catch cancer before it becomes cancer, discovered why your emotions literally create disease in your body, and uses protocols to reverse what conventional medicine calls "incurable." Cancer rates are exploding in young people—this isn't wellness talk, it's life-or-death information that could save you or someone you love. In this episode, you'll learn: • Cancer's hidden 8-10 year timeline: from first abnormal cell to detectable tumor—why early intervention during this window can prevent cancer entirely, not just treat it after diagnosis • The real cancer causes: less than 1% genetic, 99% environmental factors including chronic stress, toxin exposure, and unresolved emotional trauma that keeps you in survival mode • Liquid biopsy breakthroughs: blood tests detecting circulating tumor cells years before imaging shows anything—90% accuracy in identifying cancer development before symptoms appear • Why conventional treatment fails: surgery, chemo, and radiation treat symptoms but ignore the toxic terrain that allowed cancer to develop in the first place • The emotional cancer connection: how chronic unresolved stress suppresses immune function and creates the acidic environment cancer thrives in—plus the device that identifies emotional conflicts in minutes • Advanced prevention protocols: comprehensive blood work detecting hormonal imbalances, heavy metals, and inflammatory markers that predict cancer risk years in advance • Low-dose chemotherapy revolution: using 10% conventional doses with insulin targeting and immediate detox support to maximize effectiveness while minimizing damage • The fungal theory of cancer: why medications like fenbendazole and ivermectin show anti-cancer properties and how to use them safely with proper liver protection • Personalized nutrition strategies: why there's no one-size-fits-all cancer diet and how to determine whether keto, plant-based, or other approaches work for your specific situation • Energy medicine integration: how frequency therapy, red light treatment, and cellular voltage optimization support healing at the deepest level alongside conventional treatments Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 2:31 - How Early Can Cancer Be Detected? 7:25 - The Biggest Truth About Cancer: 100% Preventable, Not Genetic 12:01 - Hormones & The Great Poisoning: Environmental Toxins Impact 17:45 - What Conventional Cancer Treatment Is Missing 27:08 - Integrative Cancer Protocols 32:04 - The Role of Emotions in Cancer 40:02 - Creating Healing Environments 45:17 - Repurposed Drugs: Fenbendazole, Ivermectin & Cancer Treatment 49:05 - Best Diets for Cancer 56:33 - Liquid Biopsies: Early Detection Technology & Prevention Focus

Spiritual Afterlife: Death Isn’t the End, Pets Join Us Too, Loved Ones Await |ft Julie Ryan HTS #414

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ What if everything you've been taught about death is wrong? Medical intuitive and psychic medium Julie Ryan has spent 30 years connecting with spirits and watching thousands of people transition. Her message will shock you: everyone goes to heaven—even people you think don't deserve it. Your deceased loved ones are around you right now, and you can actually communicate with them. Julie breaks down the 12 phases every soul goes through when dying, reveals why there are no "evil spirits," and shows you how to tap into your own intuitive abilities that you've had since childhood. Whether you're grieving, afraid of death, or curious about the afterlife, this conversation offers profound comfort and a radically different perspective on what happens when we die. In this episode, you'll learn: • The 12 phases of transition: exactly what happens when someone dies, from spirit leaving the body through angelic escort to heaven—validated by 5th-century prayers and modern physics • Why everyone goes to heaven: no exceptions, no judgment—all spirits are pure love, and the "bad" personality traits stay with the body when we die • How to communicate with deceased loved ones: your head is like a satellite dish—think of them and they respond instantly with the first thought that comes to mind • The truth about "evil spirits": they don't exist—what people think are demons are actually lost souls looking for loved ones, often reincarnated family members • Why children see ghosts until age 6-7: we're all born intuitive, but adults teach kids to shut it down by saying "it's just imagination" • The emotional roots of cancer: people who are great at giving but terrible at receiving—illness forces them to accept care they've always refused • How to distinguish real spirit communication from your own thoughts: if it feels neutral or good, it's them; if it feels bad, rephrase your question • Your innate healing abilities: everyone can heal themselves energetically—Julie teaches people to see inside bodies and connect with spirits in just one weekend • Why near-death experiences differ from actual death: NDEs are like spiritual snapshots, while real transition involves specific angelic assistance and deceased family greeting you Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:57 - Rapid Fire Questions 8:05 - From Medical Device Inventor to Psychic Medium 14:07 - Why Children See Spirits (And Adults Lose This Ability) 18:01 - How to Connect with Deceased Loved Ones Through Dreams 22:08 - First Experience Seeing Inside Human Bodies as Medical Intuitive 29:08 - The Truth About Ghosts vs Evil Spirits 35:33 - Pope Clement's Message: Teaching the World About Death 44:39 - The 12 Phases of Death Transition Explained 59:02 - Live Reading: Connecting with Christian's Deceased Mother 1:05:55 - Cancer's Emotional Root: The Inability to Receive 1:13:16 - Upcoming Training & Resources for Developing Psychic Abilities

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Episode summary For empaths, introverts, and anyone who feels other people’s moods deeply: this episode is for you. Dr. G sits down with Dr. Jason Yuan (ND)—a naturopathic doctor who blends energy healing with practical basics (sleep, minerals, breath, gut care). He explains pranic healing in plain English (think acupuncture without needles) and shares simple habits to use after hard talks, busy rooms, or long days. • Post-conversation reset (60–120s): pause, breathe a little slower through your nose, then say one release line (silently or aloud): “I release what isn’t mine.” • Salt routine: in the shower, rub a handful of salt over shoulders/arms and rinse; or take a bath with 1–2 cups of salt to clear that heavy, lingering feeling. • Grounding: spend 5–10 minutes barefoot on grass/earth. No yard? Stand still indoors, feel your feet, and breathe slowly for a minute.• Why sensitive people “catch” the room’s mood—and how to turn the volume down• How pranic (hands-off) energy work helps the body reset • Daily rhythm basics (sleep, minerals, steady meals) that make you more resilient About the guest: I’m with Dr. Jason Yuan, a naturopathic doctor who grounds energy practices in physiology—nervous system, breath, minerals, and gut. He cites mind–body research at MD Anderson Cancer Center where a healer’s brain-state shifts were linked to changes in cells, and he turns those insights into simple, repeatable routines.

When stress becomes inescapable, it triggers mitochondrial shutdown that affects energy production and explains sudden crashes. In this episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian breaks down the four stage pathway of startle, stress, freeze, and shutdown, where the crucial 15 second startle window determines whether responses become adaptive or automatic trauma patterns. She shares her retraining protocol using controlled activation and proper nervous system nutrition to rewire neural pathways faster than traditional methods. Her philosophy shifts from trauma focused excavation to life focused emergence, concentrating on living fully today rather than digging through past wounds. When your system has sufficient safety and resources, healing surfaces naturally through life's synchronicities. Stop trying to fix what's broken and start building what's alive.

In this episode, hormone optimization expert Guy Citrin reveals how stress dominates hormone balance while plastic exposure acts as estrogen mimics, decreasing testosterone and contributing to rising infertility rates. He explains how microplastics embedded in tissues disrupt receptor function and can trigger hormone-dependent cancers. Guy breaks down why conventional blood tests tell an incomplete story and how the Dutch test's analysis of 52 hormone breakdown components reveals hundreds of dysfunction patterns, enabling precise interventions. Discover his clinical approach to testosterone optimization, the therapeutic potential of peptides for natural body modulation, and why quality sourcing determines results.
