As we age, blood flow naturally decreases, contributing to chronic health issues and reduced quality of life.  In this fascinating episode, I sit down with Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest Sciences, to explore how revolutionary plant cell technology is transforming longevity science. We dive deep into Venia, a breakthrough supplement made from red grape cells that delivers superior resveratrol without soil, pesticides, or heavy metals. Ilan shares how their patented process creates the most bioavailable form of resveratrol ever developed, clinically proven to improve arterial dilation, increase nitric oxide, cross the blood-brain barrier, and support overall cardiovascular health. Whether you're interested in longevity, brain health, or simply optimizing your daily energy, this episode reveals how blood flow optimization could be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle.

If you're struggling with manifesting money, love, or success, it might be because you're spiritually blocked. In this powerful throwback conversation, David Ghiyam, co-founder of Mary Ruth Organics and leading Kabbalah teacher, reveals the ancient spiritual principles that govern abundance and why most people unknowingly sabotage their own manifestation. David breaks down: – Why your soul chooses specific challenges to accelerate your growth – The two biggest spiritual blocks preventing you from receiving abundance – How judgment creates karmic debt and keeps you stuck in painful cycles – Why competing desires sabotage your manifestation (and how to align them) – The spiritual flywheel: creating unstoppable momentum in 24 hours – How childhood trauma and family dynamics shape your vessel for receiving – The difference between punishment-based religion and true spiritual transformation This isn't your typical manifestation content. David shares profound insights from Kabbalah that explain why some people effortlessly attract success while others struggle despite doing "all the right things." He reveals how taking complete responsibility for your reality and transforming your spiritual baggage opens the floodgates to receiving everything you desire. Whether you're an entrepreneur, parent, or anyone seeking deeper fulfillment, this conversation will shift how you understand success, relationships, and your soul's purpose. #kabbalah #manifestation #spirituality David Ghiyam Instagram: @davidghiyam ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

In this highly anticipated annual episode, Dr. G delivers the 2025 Heal Thy Self Cacao Product Review. After weeks of testing, lab document requests, and direct communication with brands, Dr. G exposes the shocking truth about your favorite cacao products. Not all cacao is created equal. Some brands are loaded with heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Others are contaminated with mold and mycotoxins. And some companies won't even respond to basic safety questions about what's actually in their products. Dr. G breaks down: Why even organic cacao can exceed safe heavy metal levels The brands that completely ignored transparency requests (red flag!) Which companies provided full certificates of analysis and passed with flying colors How mycotoxins from improperly stored cacao beans can cause liver toxicity and immune suppression The difference between fermented, raw, and roasted cacao and why it matters His complete transparency protocol: what questions every cacao company should answer. This isn't just about flavor; it's about your long-term health. Cacao is medicine, but sourcing matters. Transparency is the new baseline for quality. From the brands that made the top tier to the ones you should avoid completely, this episode will change how you choose your cacao forever. #cacao #chocolate #wellness ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

In this powerful episode, Dr. G exposes the most dangerous form of narcissism hiding in plain sight—spiritual narcissism. Inspired by recent events in the spiritual community, this episode breaks down the clinical truth about narcissistic patterns, red flags, and the subtle manipulation tactics that leave people confused, emotionally wrecked, and doubting their own intuition. Dr. G dives deep into: – The neurobiological roots of narcissism and childhood trauma patterns – Love bombing vs. genuine connection: how to tell the difference – Spiritual bypassing and weaponized healing language – The idealize-devalue-discard cycle that keeps you addicted to toxic people – Why "I'm triggered" and "shadow work" become tools of manipulation – How to trust your nervous system when something feels off. This isn't pop psychology—it's clinical truth mixed with somatic wisdom. Whether you've dated a narcissist, live with one, or recognize these patterns in yourself, this episode will help you unhook from toxic dynamics and rebuild your relationship with your own intuition. The most sacred relationship is the one between you and your body, your truth, your gut. No one has the right to distort you from that. #narcissism #spirituality #relationships ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!
