But a new USC study reveals the real threat could be hanging in your closet. If you dry clean your clothes even once or twice a month, you're exposing yourself to Perchloroethylene (PCE)—a toxic solvent now strongly linked to liver fibrosis, brain fog, cancer, and even Parkinson's disease. This isn't just a factory worker problem. For many people, routine dry cleaning is the hidden environmental exposure driving chronic health issues no doctor can explain. PCE doesn't just disappear after cleaning. It off-gasses into your home, absorbs through your skin, and accumulates in your liver and nervous system. And the majority of dry cleaners still use it. Without asking the right questions, you have no idea what chemicals are saturating the fabrics touching your body every single day. And your liver, brain, and nervous system are paying the price. In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down the USC Keck study and reveals how to protect yourself from this silent toxin: • Why dry cleaning increases your odds of liver fibrosis by 3X • The neurotoxic chemical triggering brain fog, headaches, and nervous system dysregulation • The Cancer and Parkinson's link researchers are now confirming • The exact 3 questions to ask your dry cleaner today to protect your family • The PFAS trap hiding in stain-proof and wrinkle-free fabrics (forever chemicals that never leave your body) • How PCE contaminates local groundwater and creates toxic exposure for entire communities This episode goes beyond your closet. It's a wake-up call about the pervasive, invisible toxins lurking in everyday life—and how to take action now to protect your liver, stabilize your nervous system, and reclaim your health.

Episode Description Your autoimmune condition, chronic fatigue, and inability to manifest aren't health problems—they're symptoms of suppressed emotional energy. While the wellness industry pushes billions in supplements, clean eating protocols, and biohacking tools, we're missing what's really blocking true healing: unprocessed rage, grief, and trauma trapped in your body. Dr. G sits down with Mia Magik, an author and embodiment practitioner, to reveal the truth: every autoimmune flare, every anxiety spiral, and every block in your life is your body's way of communicating about unexpressed emotions and nervous system dysregulation. But the most shocking revelation? "Constant emotional suppression is an act of abuse that we're inflicting upon our inner children every single day." Discover the profound mind-body-spirit connection behind chronic illness and why emotional boundaries and feminine power are directly linked to something called "cellular memory"—allowing you to access ancestral strength and restore your God-given state of receiving. If you've tried every supplement stack and elimination diet without results, this episode reveals the missing piece. In This Episode: ⚫ How chronic emotional suppression creates autoimmune conditions and nervous system breakdown ⚫ Why women's health crisis is fundamentally an emotional crisis, not a physical one ⚫ The connection between unexpressed rage and autoimmune conditions in women ⚫ How trauma stored in the body blocks manifestation and feminine power ⚫ Why giving yourself permission to feel is the foundation of true healing ⚫ The link between destruction of Earth and destruction of the womb space ⚫ How to access cellular memory and reclaim ancestral strength Find Mia Magik here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miamagik Website: https://miamagik.com/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Why Women Are Spiritually Awakening Now 2:37 - What Real Feminine Power Actually Looks Like 6:46 - If Women Reclaimed Their Power, Everything Would Change 8:06 - From Childhood Magic to Healing Work 13:05 - Cellular Memory: Knowledge From Past Lives 24:01 - Why 80% of Autoimmune Conditions Affect Women 27:17 - Rage Rituals: Releasing What You've Never Been Allowed to Feel 32:23 - What Happens After Women Release Their Rage 40:05 - The Courage to Face Your Shadow Self 46:23 - Why Women Are Sexually Repressed and How to Heal 50:51 - Sacred Sexuality: Making Sex Medicine, Not a Transaction 59:02 - How Women Can Hold Space for Masculine Vulnerability 1:07:15 - Why Your Voice Is Your Most Powerful Tool 1:13:44 - The Womb as Portal: What You're Really Birthing Each Month

Get My Brand Masterlist ⁠https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Get My Green Powder List https://drchristiangonzalez.com/green-powder-pdf-claim-form/ Episode Description Green powders are everywhere, but most of them are toxic dust with a health halo. Out of 25 green powder companies Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated, only 6 proved they're actually safe to drink. The rest? 19 companies completely ignored basic safety questions. That means the majority of green powders flooding your feed can't even prove they're free of heavy metals, pesticides, mold, or glyphosate. Green powders promise detox, energy, and vitality. But when they're grown in contaminated soil or processed with high heat, they can do the exact opposite—bioaccumulating toxins in your brain, liver, kidneys, and bones. The very systems you're trying to protect become the targets. Without third-party testing and certificates of analysis, you have no idea what you're actually scooping into your morning routine. And your nervous system is paying the price. In this episode, Dr. G exposes which major wellness brands refused transparency and reveals the only 6 green powder products worth your money in 2025: • Why do greens like spirulina and chlorella absorb heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium? • Which green powder companies provided full certificates of analysis? • How does processing (freeze-dried vs. heat-dried) destroy up to 70% of nutrients? • What role do green powders play in detoxification, gut health, and mitochondrial function?

While the beauty industry pushes billions in topical treatments like retinol, fillers, and Botox, we're missing what's really causing chronic skin conditions. Dr. G sits down with fellow naturopathic doctor and integrative dermatologist Dr. Trevor Cates to uncover the truth: every breakout is your body's way of communicating about gut health, hormonal imbalances, and internal inflammation. But the most shocking revelation? "The people with the worst skin often have the weakest boundaries." Discover the profound mind-body connection behind your skin issues and why stress and emotional boundaries are directly linked to something called "leaky skin"—allowing toxins and chemicals to penetrate your skin barrier. If you've tried every expensive cream and elimination diet without results, this episode reveals the missing piece. In This Episode: ⚫ How chronic stress and weak boundaries create "leaky skin" and barrier breakdown ⚫ Why your face is a direct reflection of gut health, hormones, and systemic inflammation ⚫ The toxic ingredients in skincare products making your skin worse ⚫ The truth about filler damage, Botox risks, and long-term cosmetic procedures ⚫ The non-negotiable products and practices for genuine skin longevity ⚫ How to heal your skin from the inside out using functional medicine principles Key Takeaways: ✅ Skin conditions are symptoms—not the root cause—of internal imbalance ✅ "Leaky gut" and "leaky skin" are connected through inflammation and stress ✅ Emotional boundaries directly impact your skin's physical boundaries ✅ The beauty industry often worsens skin health with toxic ingredients ✅ True skin transformation requires addressing gut health, hormones, and nervous system regulation ✅ Holistic approaches outperform surface-level treatments for lasting results Find Dr. Trevor Cates here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trevorcates/?hl=en Website: https://drtrevorcates.com/ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:17 – Rapid Fire Questions 5:27 – Journey Into Integrative Dermatology 9:40 – The Gut-Skin Connection 11:08 – Skin Conditions and Gut Imbalances 16:48 – Leaky Gut and Leaky Skin 21:12 – Cortisol and Hormones 28:22 – Birth Control Pills and Skin 34:04 – Botox and Fillers 44:02 – Skincare Routine

Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2/ Get Creatine Brand List https://drchristiangonzalez.com/creatine-pdf-request-form/ Episode Description Creatine is one of the most studied supplements in the world, yet most of what's on the shelves is garbage. Out of 34 creatine companies Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated, only 5 made the cut. The rest? 22 companies ignored his questions entirely. 7 responded but failed to provide complete certificates of analysis. That means the majority of creatine on the market can't even prove it's safe. Creatine isn't just for bodybuilders. It powers your brain, protects your neurons under stress, fights age-related muscle loss, and emerging research shows it may even help with depression and neurodegenerative diseases. But without third-party testing, you're left guessing what's actually in the product; and your nervous system pays the price. In this episode, Dr. G exposes which brands refused transparency and reveals the only 5 creatine products worth your money in 2025: • Why are heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents hiding in creatine? • Which creatine companies provided full certificates of analysis? • What's the clinical sweet spot for dosing creatine safely? • How does creatine protect your brain, not just your muscles?

Unfocused. Not living up to potential. Dr. G thought that about himself for decades… until at 41, he discovered he actually has ADHD. Suddenly the lost keys, unfinished projects, chronic lateness, sensory overwhelm, and shame all made sense. In this intimate solo episode, Dr. G breaks down the neuroscience of adult ADHD, the trauma-based model Gabor Maté teaches, why the default mode network hijacks focus, how stimulant medications impact dopamine long term, and the lifestyle + supplement strategies backed by research. In This Episode: • How ADHD shows up in adults (and why it gets mislabeled as character flaws) • Why high-functioning people go decades without knowing they have ADHD • What the brain science actually reveals about focus, motivation & time perception • The Gabor Maté trauma model — ADHD as adaptation vs disorder • The stimulant conversation: benefits, risks, and dependency realities • Lifestyle anchors that support the ADHD brain (sleep times, routines, movement) • Research-backed supplements that can help support attention Key Takeaways: ✅ ADHD isn’t laziness — it’s neurodevelopment + nervous system wiring ✅ Trauma in childhood shapes time perception and attention patterns ✅ Medication can help, but informed consent is essential ✅ Exercise, structure, breathwork, and key nutrients truly support regulation ✅ Compassion — not shame — is what actually unlocks change Timestamps: 0:00 - Discovering I Have ADHD at 41 1:04 - My Entire Life Suddenly Made Sense 2:39 - The Idyllwild Moment: How I Found Out 4:45 - Everyone Knew But Me 7:31 - The Real Science Behind ADHD 13:56 - Childhood Signs I Missed 17:31 - What ADHD Actually Is (Not Laziness) 19:33 - Gabor Maté: ADHD as Adaptation to Stress 22:39 - Breaking Free from Shame 24:03 - The Truth About Adderall & Stimulants 26:49 - Natural Tools That Actually Help 28:15 - My Action Plan Moving Forward

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?

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

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 3 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.
