Heal Thy Self with Dr. G
Hosted by Wellness Loud · EN
Health and wellness is louder and more confusing than ever. One expert says eat more meat. Another says cut it out completely. One supplement is called life-changing. The next day, someone says it will make you sick.
It’s overwhelming. And that’s exactly why Heal Thy Self exists.
Hosted by Dr. Christian Gonzalez, Heal Thy Self cuts through the noise and delivers clarity in a space flooded with contradictions. This isn’t trend-based wellness or recycled talking points. It’s direct, grounded truth that blends real science with deep spiritual and emotional intelligence.
Each week, get expert conversations with doctors, scientists, shamans, and healers spanning physical health, mental wellness, emotional healing, and spirituality.
Dr. G does the heavy lifting for you, investigating the wellness industry by reviewing third-party testing and breaking down supplements and products to reveal what’s safe, what works, what’s marketing hype, and which companies deserve your trust.
You’ll also get channeled episodes that inspire and elevate beyond the physical. This is a fully integrated approach connecting body, mind, nervous system, trauma, energy, and consciousness.
If you’re tired of conflicting advice and ready for clarity that empowers, relieves, and inspires, this is the podcast you’ve been missing.

How to Eat Carbs and Lose Weight | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #502
4d ago00:09:28Tap to summarizeEpisode Description: You have been cutting carbs to lose weight and your blood sugar still will not move. What if you have been avoiding the one carbohydrate that was actually working in your favor the whole time? Resistant starch is a carbohydrate your body cannot digest. Instead of spiking your blood sugar, it travels to your gut bacteria intact, feeds them, and triggers a chain reaction that improves insulin sensitivity, blunts post-meal glucose spikes, and in human controlled trials is linked to measurable reductions in visceral fat. And here is the part that might surprise you: the same food can have a completely different metabolic effect depending on how you prepare it. Cooking and then cooling a potato or a plate of rice meaningfully increases its resistant starch content. Same food. Different biology. In this episode, you will learn: • How resistant starch feeds your gut bacteria to produce butyrate, one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds in the body, and how that chain reaction directly improves how your body handles blood sugar and insulin • What the randomized controlled trial data actually shows for weight loss, visceral fat reduction, and insulin sensitivity, including the dose ranges used in the studies and how long it takes to see results • The exact foods to start with, why you have to go slow, and what happens to your gut if you jump straight to 40 grams a day This is a free tool. No supplement required. Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn’t respond to our outreach, it doesn’t automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they’re failing their customers on transparency and communication. We reach out multiple times. No response isn’t an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.

Episode Description: You have been running from yourself for a very long time. The restlessness, the worry, the relationships that keep ending the same way, the money that never feels like enough. None of that is who you actually are. It is what you learned. Danny Morel is back on Heal Thy Self for the second time, and this conversation goes deeper than the first. Danny had the picture perfect life. The money, the business, the house, the marriage, the admiration. And he was completely disconnected from himself. It took an affair, a divorce, the death of his mother, and a moment on a run reading Eckhart Tolle for everything to crack open. What came through that crack changed everything. This is that story, and the wisdom that came out of it. In this episode, you'll discover: • The difference between victim consciousness and creator consciousness, why the shift from one to the other is the thing human beings are most afraid of, and why every relationship, money problem, and health struggle you keep recreating is pointing at something inside you • How to tell the difference between true soul intuition and fear masquerading as gut feeling, and why the only way to access that distinction is through silence and direct relationship with the divine • Why your partner is a mirror, your bank account is a mirror, and why wanting to fix the reflection without doing the inner work is the single most common way people stay stuck This is the work that makes all the other work possible.

Scientist Found 5 Things That Boost Testosterone - Here’s What They Are | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #498
2w ago00:17:14Tap to summarizeEpisode Description: There are over 40 supplements on the market right now promising to raise your testosterone. The vast majority of them are a waste of your money. Some are doing nothing at all. Others may be doing damage. And this episode is not sponsored by a single one of them. After age 35, testosterone drops by 1% every year. For most men that starts to feel like lost recovery, vanishing drive, and stubborn fat around the midsection that will not budge. But low testosterone is not just a gym problem. It travels directly alongside insulin resistance, visceral fat accumulation, cardiovascular risk, depression, and cognitive decline. Out of 40 plus products making claims, only five have actual randomized controlled trial data behind them. Dr. G breaks all five down today, including the exact form and dose used in the research. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why KSM-66 ashwagandha is the most clinically validated of the group, how chronic stress is biologically competing with your testosterone production for the same raw materials, and why the form on the label matters more than the brand • How Tongkat Ali works by freeing up testosterone that is already in your body but locked away and unavailable, and why it produced a 90% normalization rate in men who were clinically low • Why most men with normal testosterone on paper still have low free testosterone, and how magnesium and zinc address the two different sides of that problem Plus where vitamin D actually fits in the stack, the one free intervention that matters more than all five supplements combined, and why deep sleep is where the majority of your testosterone is actually made. Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn’t respond to our outreach, it doesn’t automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they’re failing their customers on transparency and communication. We reach out multiple times. No response isn’t an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.

Episode Description: Social media has convinced women that they need to lower their cortisol to lose belly fat, sync their workouts to their menstrual cycle, eat differently depending on their cycle phase, avoid heavy lifting to stay lean, and take a stack of longevity supplements to live longer. Dr. Mary Pardee is here to call most of that what it is. Dr. Mary is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor, one of Dr. G's closest friends, and one of the most evidence-based voices in the wellness space. This is her third time on Heal Thy Self and she is not holding back. From LDL cholesterol to VO2 max to the Mediterranean diet to cold plunge, she is cutting through the noise and giving women the clearest, most direct framework for actually living longer. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why LDL cholesterol is causative for heart disease the way smoking is causative for lung cancer, what numbers to actually target at different life stages, and why plaque formation begins in your 20s • The truth about cycle syncing workouts and food, why it is a marketing tactic designed to confuse a vulnerable population into buying something, and what the research actually says about training through your cycle • How to structure protein intake for muscle building, the exact grams per kilogram targets for different goals, and why women are still chronically under eating protein even in 2026 Plus the labs every woman should be running, what a DEXA scan actually reveals about body composition, and why cold plunge has no longevity evidence behind it while sauna does.

The Most Powerful Peptide You've Never Heard Of (Affects 4,000 Genes) | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #498
3w ago00:18:03Tap to summarizeEbook: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AUsxg05dXkKFeAa64kC0u16XynnSx68o/view?usp=drive_link Episode Description: Every peptide conversation right now is about GLP-1 drugs, BPC-157, and TB-500. Nobody is talking about the one with 50 years of published research that your body is already making and losing as you age. GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide that declines by 60% between the ages of 20 and 60. That decline tracks directly with the loss of skin elasticity, slower wound healing, thinning hair, reduced collagen production, and rising inflammation. In randomized controlled trials it has outperformed Rogaine for hair growth, shown a 55% reduction in visible wrinkles, and been documented to positively affect the expression of over 4,000 human genes. Dr. G calls it his favorite peptide, and his partner uses it on her face every day. In this episode, you will learn: • How GHK-Cu works as a copper delivery vehicle at the cellular level, why it modulates gene expression across 31% of the human genome, and what that means for tissue repair, inflammation, and biological aging • The head to head randomized controlled trial where GHK-Cu outperformed minoxidil for hair count, follicle size, and the active growth phase of the hair cycle • Exactly what to look for when buying GHK-Cu cream, why the peptide is chemically fragile, what packaging and pH range to require, and the red flags that tell you to walk away from a product Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:44 - What GHK-CU Actually Is and How It Was First Discovered in 1973 3:10 - Why a 60% Decline in GHK-CU Between Ages 20 and 60 Tracks Directly With Aging 4:40 - What Makes GHK-CU Different From Every Other Popular Peptide 6:00 - How It Stimulates Collagen, Elastin & the Extracellular Matrix 7:15 - The Human Trial Showing a 51% Increase in Collagen Density From Topical Application 8:00 - The 4,000 Genes GHK-CU Affects (And What the Broad Institute Found) 9:30 - Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Why This Matters for Biological Aging 10:30 - Wound Healing, Angiogenesis & Tissue Repair Across Skin, Bone, Gut and Liver 11:30 - The 2022 RCT: 55.7% Reduction in Visible Wrinkles After 12 Weeks 12:30 - Hair Growth: Outperforming Minoxidil in a Head-to-Head Randomized Trial 14:30 - Why the Lower Dose (50mg/ml) Outperformed the Higher Dose 15:30 - Safety Profile, Contraindications & the "Copper Uglies" Explained 17:00 - How to Buy GHK-CU: Concentration, Packaging, pH & What to Avoid Learn more about your ad choices.

And almost nobody is talking about it. Catharine Arnston is the founder of Energy Bits, a PhD holder, and the world's leading voice on spirulina and chlorella — the two algae she calls your nutritional and health insurance. She found this world trying to help her sister recover from breast cancer, spent 17 years going deeper into science than anyone else has, and is now nearly 70 years old with more energy, clarity, and vitality than most people half her age. The proof is in everything she says. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why spirulina's amino acid profile is almost identical to mother's breast milk — and how it protects the mitochondria, clears brain fog, and rebuilds energy at a cellular level without stimulants or crashes • What chlorella actually does inside the body: pulling out heavy metals, toxins, and excess iron while triggering serotonin production, improving mood, and getting your gut moving • Why most algae on the market has had its most critical nutrients deactivated — and what to look for to make sure you're getting the real thing Aging is natural.

Nature’s Ozempic Showed Metformin-Like Results in a Real Clinical Trial | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #496
4w ago00:14:16Tap to summarizeEpisode Description: Everyone is calling it nature's Ozempic. That is marketing. And it is doing a total disservice to what berberine actually does. Berberine is not a GLP-1 drug. It does not work the same way. The weight loss outcomes are not comparable. And if you are taking it expecting to drop 15% of your body weight, you are going to be disappointed. But here is what the research actually shows, and why Dr. G takes berberine every single day. The clinical evidence on berberine for blood sugar, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and gut health is genuinely compelling. A three month randomized controlled trial in newly diagnosed type two diabetics showed reductions in HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, and post-meal blood glucose that were comparable to metformin. A 2022 meta analysis confirmed it hits triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, blood pressure, and insulin resistance markers simultaneously. And the gut microbiome research is a piece almost nobody is talking about.In this episode, you will learn: • What berberine actually does in the body through the AMPK pathway, why it is not a GLP-1, and what to realistically expect from it • Why standard berberine has a major absorption problem, what dihydroberberine is and why it may deliver 2 to 4 times more into circulation at a fraction of the dose • Exactly how to buy berberine intelligently, what standardization means on a label, which forms to choose, and what to avoid.

In this fully channeled episode, Dr. G goes inward and lets the voice within speak directly to you. Not about supplements. Not about protocols. About the thing underneath all of it. The parts of you that have been buried underground since childhood. The parts you decided were too much, too painful, too unlovable to let be seen. The parts that are still waiting.

In this episode, you will hear: • Why the love you have been seeking from everyone around you has always existed inside of you, and what it actually takes to come back to it • The truth about healing as a return to your natural state, and why no disease can survive a human organism that is fully in alignment • Your soul contract: why you came here, what your purpose actually is, and how embodying who you are changes the people around you without saying a single word Take a deep breath.

And this conversation goes a lot deeper than seeing clearly. Dr. Bryce Applebaum is a functional neuro optometrist who rewires the connection between the eyes and the brain. Vision is not the same as eyesight. Eyesight is how you focus light. Vision is how your brain tells your eyes to move, converge, track, and make sense of the world. And in 2026, with the average adult spending over seven hours a day on screens, that system is under more stress than it has ever been. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why your prescription should not get stronger every year as an adult, and why a worsening prescription is a sign your brain is adapting to stress, not a normal part of aging • The connection between functional vision problems and ADHD, including why convergence insufficiency and eye turns are diagnosed far more often in kids labeled with ADHD, and how vision training has gotten patients off medication entirely • Why blue light blocking glasses are not enough, what is actually causing your brain fog and eye fatigue after hours on a screen, and the overnight contact lenses that reshape your cornea while you sleep Plus the foods that protect your eyes, the foods that accelerate macular degeneration, and why vision belongs at the top of your list if you are dealing with brain fog.

The FASTEST Way to Lose Dangerous Belly Fat (5 Clinically Tested Supplement ) | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #494
Jun 1800:10:44Tap to summarizeYou could be eating well, working out, and doing everything right and still carry stubborn fat around your midsection that will not move. That is not a willpower problem. Visceral fat is the fat that wraps around your organs deep inside your abdomen, and it behaves completely differently than the fat under your skin. It is metabolically active, releasing inflammatory signals into your bloodstream around the clock and driving insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and metabolic syndrome. Most people have no idea that specific supplements have actual clinical data showing they target visceral fat directly. In this episode, Dr. G breaks down five supplements with real research behind them, what the studies actually measured, and the exact doses used. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why berberine has to be taken three times a day with meals to work, and the meta analysis showing real reductions in visceral fat and waist circumference • The randomized controlled trial where resistant starch led to over 6 pounds of measured visceral fat loss in 8 weeks, and how to dose it without destroying your gut • Why EPA dose matters more than total fish oil, the 1800 milligram number from the research, and why 45% of fish oil on shelves has already gone rancid Plus the role of magnesium in insulin resistance and visceral fat storage, why EGCG only works alongside exercise, and Dr. G's week by week protocol for building all of this into your routine.
