Household names like Vital Proteins, Great Lakes Wellness, and Nordic Naturals wouldn't provide certificates proving their products are free from heavy metals and contaminants. This silence raises questions about what these companies might be hiding. The concern is legitimate because collagen comes from animal bones and connective tissue, where environmental toxins naturally accumulate. While clinical research supports collagen's benefits for skin and joint health, these positive effects mean nothing if the product contains harmful substances. Many consumers assume premium pricing or "grass-fed" labels guarantee safety, but these offer no protection against contamination. Only a small group of companies willingly shared comprehensive testing results. These brands proved transparency is possible in this industry. When choosing supplements you'll consume daily for months, safety documentation should be the minimum expectation, not the exception.

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.

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.

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 good news? With intentional use and neurofeedback, we can restore brain function and reclaim our attention. In this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Trish Leigh reveals how "supernormal stimuli" are hijacking our dopamine systems. Pornography produces up to 400% dopamine increase (nearly cocaine-level at 450%), while screens resonate at 60 Hz, pushing brain activity into overdrive. Healthy calm focus operates at 10 Hz, but prolonged screen exposure creates the "wired-and-tired" brain simultaneous fast and slow brainwave activity leading to anxiety, poor focus, and depression. Dr. Leigh reveals how excessive screen time creates measurable brain dysfunction. Her solution: intentional balance and neurofeedback to restore optimal brainwave patterns. Recovery is possible at any age by replacing digital stimulation with real-world experiences. Don't let technology control you, learn to control it.

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.

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.

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.

Sign up for our newsletter! ⁠https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/⁠ After 30, your body needs up to 6x more essential amino acids to build muscle effectively. Without adequate amounts, your body draws from muscle to repair organs. Kion founder Angelo Keely explains why essential amino acids are 3-6x more effective than whey protein and why many people may not be getting enough protein. In this episode we explore supplement quality considerations, how proprietary blends obscure actual ratios and examine "grass-fed" claims. Plus, creatine offers benefits beyond bodybuilding. This energy source improves cognitive performance during sleep loss, enhances focus and memory, and supports emotional stability. Angelo shares how daily creatine helped stabilize his mood. We dive into somatic awareness, using breath and body sensations to stay present instead of getting caught in thought loops. Angelo reflects on finding purpose through body awareness and trusting your timeline rather than forcing outcomes. The practical approach: Under 30, eat well and supplement optionally. Age 30-40, add daily aminos and consider creatine. Age 50+, prioritize essential amino acids and increase creatine for muscle, cognition, and emotional resilience.
