Heal Thy Self with Dr. G

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Heather Sandison to talk about something that needs more attention Alzheimer’s disease, and whether it can actually be reversed. She challenges the conventional belief that it’s irreversible and dives into how environmental toxins, poor lifestyle habits, and hidden infections can drive cognitive decline. If you’ve been impacted by Alzheimer’s or want to protect your brain for the long run this episode gives you the practical tools and real hope. #alzheimer #wellness #antiaging Dr. Heather Sandison IG: @dr.heathersandison ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

In this episode of Heal Thyself, I dive deep into the hidden dangers of deodorants—specifically the presence of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” A recent study by Mamavation (March 2025) revealed that 40% of tested deodorants contained PFAS, with some brands showing shockingly high levels—Little Seed Farm came in at 103 ppm. I break down which brands passed and failed PFAS testing and explain why this matters—PFAS can be absorbed through the thin skin of the underarm, leading to serious health issues like cancer, infertility, and thyroid dysfunction. I also share actionable detox strategies you can use right now, including sweating regularly, taking binders, staying hydrated, and supporting your liver. I strongly recommend avoiding the following brands due to PFAS concerns: Little Seed Farm, doTERRA, Dr Teal’s, Lume, Hello, Kopari, and Secret. Instead, here are some safer deodorant alternatives I trust: Bello Tallow, Primally Pure, Pretty Frank, and Truvani. Don’t forget to check your product labels for synthetic fragrances, aluminum salts, and other toxic ingredients. #deodorant #toxic #productreview ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

In this powerful conversation, Dr. G is joined by renowned bioenergetics expert Dr. Sue Morter to explore the missing link in modern medicine: energy. Together, they break down how disruptions in energetic flow—often caused by subconscious blocks, unresolved trauma, and negative self-perception—can manifest as physical and mental illness. Dr. Morter shares her groundbreaking approach to healing, offering practical techniques like slow belly breathing and her signature “object-subject” energy exercise. These tools help listeners rewire their internal energy systems, reclaim personal power, and activate the body’s natural self-healing capabilities. The episode also dives into the role of childhood trauma, epigenetics, and the mind-body connection in the development of chronic disease, including cancer. Dr. G and Dr. Morter emphasize the importance of self-awareness, authenticity, and cultivating a positive internal environment to support lifelong health. #wellness #mentalhealth #healing Episode Resources: https://drsuemorter.com Free Extravaganza happening on April 26 https://nt113.isrefer.com/go/HYHYLExtra/Healthyself/ Heal Your Self Page https://nt113.isrefer.com/go/HYHYL/Healthyself/ ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

In this episode, Dr. G dives deep into the ancient and modern science of semen retention. He explores its historical roots in traditions like Taoism and Hinduism, where semen was seen as a sacred life force, and contrasts that with today’s research—some of which links frequent ejaculation (21+ times per month) to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Dr. G breaks down the short-term effects of retention, such as possible testosterone surges, and takes a clear-eyed look at the long-term data—revealing there's no strong evidence for sustained physiological benefits. At the same time, he explores the spiritual and energetic practices that have long been paired with retention, including breathwork, meditation, and intentional abstinence. #menshealth #fertility #wellness ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

In this podcast Dr. Jenelle Kim, a ninth-generation Traditional Oriental Medicine practitioner, explains how she assesses a patient's health through observation, pulse, and tongue diagnosis, focusing on the balance of yin and yang. She details the concept of yin and yang, explaining how imbalances manifest physically and emotionally, providing examples like dry, cracked tongues (yin deficiency) and fat, wet tongues (spleen deficiency). The interview explores the importance of Qi (vital energy), its flow through meridians, and how stagnation leads to various health problems. Dr. Kim emphasizes the three M's: medicine, movement (like Qigong), and meditation (mindset), highlighting the crucial role of self-awareness and self-regulation in maintaining balance and preventing burnout. #chinesemedicine #naturalmedicine #healing ==== Dr. Jenelle Kim IG: @drjenellemkim ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!
