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. The difference between feeling "normal" and feeling vital lies in the breakdown story your blood work isn't telling you.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Transformational healing happens when we stop rehashing past problems and start focusing intensely on what we want to become. Solution-focused therapy flips conventional approaches by asking "What do you want?" instead of "What's wrong?" creating immediate forward momentum toward desired change rather than endless analysis of trauma and dysfunction. In this groundbreaking episode, therapist Elliott Connie reveals how one revolutionary question transforms lives: "What are your best hopes from talking to me?" This instantly directs attention toward desired outcomes rather than problems. Human beings are programmed to move toward whatever they focus on - where you look, your life follows, just like drivers unconsciously steering toward accidents they're observing. We explore his approach on why problem-focused therapy keeps people stuck while solution-focused methods create exponential transformation.Hope isn't wishful thinking; it's the most practical tool that rewrites your entire life story.

How Eating With the Seasons Boosts Energy & Digestion | ft. Nidhi Pandya HTS w/ DrG #407

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! Visit https://jaspr.co/DRG and use code DRG for $200 OFF for a limited time Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Your body already knows how to heal. It's a remembrance of ancient wisdom that animals instinctively understand but we've forgotten. True health transformation happens when we maintain an optimal warm, moist internal environment through conscious food choices, seasonal eating, and emotional regulation. Cold protein smoothies in the morning? They're working against your digestive fire when your body needs warming most. In this transformative episode, Ayurvedic physician Dr. Nidhi Bhanshali Pandya reveals how growing up in a 14 person joint family with an Ayurvedic healer grandfather taught her that health principles are universal laws like gravity that remain constant as long as Earth maintains its rotation. These sage scientists accessed nature's intelligence through meditation, discovering truths that apply across all traditional cultures. Dr. Pandya shares practical approaches: pre workout body oiling (ancient wrestler tradition) that transforms exercise recovery, eating your largest meal at lunch when digestive fire peaks, and seasonal eating that aligns with nature's rhythms. Her 21 day transformation framework from "Your Body Already Knows" offers gentle implementation with self-compassion rather than rigid discipline. The path back to health isn't complex protocols. It's remembering what animals instinctively know about warm, moist, loving care. Be sure to like and subscribe to #HealThySelf Hosted by Doctor Christian Gonzalez N.D.

How Healing Your Energy Field Aligns You & Integrates Trauma l ft. Igor Galibov HTS w/ DrG #406

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! Visit timeline.com/DRG and use code DRG to get 20% OFF Visit https://jaspr.co/DRG and use code DRG for $200 OFF for a limited time Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ True healing addresses energetic disruptions in our multi-dimensional bodies, where disease begins as electrical pulse disruption between mind and organ. By integrating our shadow and aligning with source consciousness, we reclaim wholeness. In this episode, spiritual healer Igor Galibov shares his transformation through spiritual surgery in Brazil at age 24. During an out-of-body experience, he witnessed the procedure from behind the healer while simultaneously being operated on. Within six months, all physical ailments - polyps, allergies, rashes completely disappeared, and his consciousness expanded to see energy, travel dimensions, and perceive future events. Disease originates in five energy bodies before manifesting physically. The key to healing? Befriending our darkness, the ignored aspects of ourselves needing awareness. When we invite these traits in with love and curiosity, darkness transforms into light. Igor explores Jesus and Mary Magdalene as twin souls whose sacred union created dimensional portals through unified masculine-feminine consciousness. The path to wholeness: heal fragmented aspects, unite inner energies, and remember we are the universe experiencing itself.

The Truth About Dentistry: Protect Your Teeth for Life l ft. Ingrid Murra HTS W/ #404

Visit https://jaspr.co/DRG and use code DRG for $200 OFF for a limited time Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Most clear aligner treatments fail because providers can only move tooth crowns, not roots - leading to relapse and patients wondering if they wore their retainer enough. The clear aligner industry continues despite poor outcomes while patients blame themselves.In this eye-opening episode, Two Front CEO Ingrid Murra exposes the shocking truth about orthodontics and reveals her journey from practicing orthodontist to building a $7M company with 40+ team members. Orthodontics isn't cosmetic - it's health treatment preventing tens of thousands in future dental work. Misaligned bites cause permanent enamel wear, leading to crowns, root canals, and expensive procedures starting in your 40s. Ingrid identifies a key barrier for Latino entrepreneurs: cultural programming that doesn't emphasize emotional intelligence or effective communication. As Latinas earn less than other demographics, communication becomes economic empowerment. Her framework for business evolution includes deep commitment to serving others, strong self-belief, and staying present in each moment. With Latino Americans set to represent 30% of the US population in 5-10 years, breaking cultural patterns becomes an economic necessity. Business becomes a vehicle for personal growth when built on service and authentic leadership. Be sure to like and subscribe to #HealThySelf Hosted by Doctor Christian Gonzalez N.D.

John Mackey’s Journey From Ego Death to Building Whole Foods l HTS w/ DrG #403

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! Visit jaspr.co/DRG and use code DRG for $200 OFF for a limited time Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ In this transformative episode, John Mackey shares his journey from a $45,000 vegetarian co-op in Austin to revolutionizing how America thinks about food. His psychedelic awakening showed him "there's only the one being" - a realization that became the foundation for conscious business practices serving customers, employees, suppliers, communities, and the environment equally. We explore the four pillars of conscious capitalism: higher purpose beyond profit, stakeholder philosophy where everyone wins, conscious leadership focused on mission over compensation, and conscious culture where people flourish. John reveals how Whole Foods' self-insurance data exposed the health crisis - 10% of employees consumed 90% of healthcare dollars on preventable chronic diseases. This led to his newest venture: Love.Life, a 45,000 sq ft wellness revolution in Manhattan Beach featuring healthy food, state-of-the-art fitness, biohacking recovery, integrative medicine, and three indoor pickleball courts. It's designed as medicine for loneliness - creating community connections that heal both business and personal relationships. John's core philosophy: "Just love everyone all the time, no exceptions." Life is an eternal adventure with nothing to fear. Choose love moment by moment, practice forgiveness and gratitude, and remember - what we put out into the world reflects back to us. Business can be a force for healing when built on consciousness rather than pure profit. Be sure to like and subscribe to #HealThySelfHosted by Doctor Christian Gonzalez N.D.

Heal Your Sexual Shame to Finally Experience Deep Intimacy l ft. Susan Bratton HTS w/ DrG #402

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! Visit https://jaspr.co/DRG and use code DRG for $200 OFF for a limited time Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Most adults have limited knowledge about intimacy and haven't fully explored their potential for pleasure. What if there were aspects of intimacy you hadn't yet discovered? In this episode, intimacy expert Susan Bratton explains that the capacity for pleasure is learned rather than innate, with many different types accessible to all bodies. She addresses common misconceptions and presents intimacy as a mindful, embodied practice between partners rather than a performance, explaining how emotional barriers from past experiences can limit people's ability to experience fulfillment. We explore how aging can impact genital health in both men and women, along with supportive therapies like hormone treatments, red light therapy, vacuum devices, and supplements. Susan, who has guided over 20,000 men in improving penile volume through VED use, also teaches mindful practices to deepen emotional intimacy. At the core of her work is open bedroom communication, asking, “What feels good today?” to honor each body's changing needs.  This conversation invites a shame-free, present-moment approach to intimacy that strengthens connection and mutual understanding.
