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.

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.

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.

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 Find Dr Connealy here: Instagram Website 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

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 Find Julie Ryan here: Instagram Website 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

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.
