Episode Description

If coffee isn't cutting it anymore—and you're exhausted but still can't sleep—this episode is for you.

That "wired but tired" feeling isn't a sleep problem or even a stress problem. It's your HPA axis stuck in overdrive. Your body can't tell the difference between a work deadline and a life-threatening emergency, so your stress response never shuts off.

The supplement industry knows you're burned out. That's why they're pushing adrenal cocktails, proprietary blends with pixie dust dosing, and adaptogens stacks with zero human research behind them.

Dr. Christian Gonzalez cut through the noise to find the five most clinically validated adaptogens—herbs proven in randomized controlled trials to actually restore your stress response.

In this episode, Dr. G breaks down:

• The adaptogen that reduced cortisol by 27% in a meta-analysis of 25 human trials

• Which Soviet-era herb improved VO2 max and is still used by athletes today

• The "Queen of Herbs" that lowered inflammatory markers by 28% in stressed adults

• Why one popular adaptogen might cause emotional flatness in certain people—and who should avoid it

• The Arctic root that pulled people out of burnout in just four weeks

He's ranking each adaptogen by strength of clinical evidence, walking through the mechanisms, exact dosing, who it's for, who it's not for, and the brands that actually test their products.

Your adrenals aren't broken. They just need the right support. This episode gives you the clinical roadmap to get there.

Episode Description

Every single person in the Epstein files is living in their own personal hell. You think they're winning? They're the furthest from themselves a human being can get.

Dr. Christian Gonzalez addresses what so many are feeling right now—the shock, the grief, the helplessness that comes from seeing the depths of human darkness exposed in the Epstein files. This isn't a news breakdown. This is a spiritual reckoning.

The question isn't what to do about them. The question is: who are you choosing to be in relation to what you've experienced?

In this episode, Dr. G reveals:

• Why the people who hurt children are already living in their own personal hell—no external justice needed

• The "Conversations with God" principle that reframes all suffering as an opportunity to remember who you are

• How holding onto anger, helplessness, and fear burns a hole in your own being—and what to do instead

This episode is raw, emotional, and necessary. If the state of the world has shaken you to your core, press play.

Episode Description

Over 100 million Americans have some form of liver disease right now—and most don't know it. Your liver doesn't hurt when it's inflamed. No pain, no warning signs, not until it's too late.

Meanwhile, the supplement industry is flooding the market with "liver support" formulas packed with proprietary blends, underdosed ingredients, and zero clinical evidence.

Dr. Christian Gonzalez went through all the research to find the five best evidence-based liver supplements—proven in human trials to actually protect and repair your liver.

In this episode, Dr. G reveals:

• The omega-3 dosage shown to reduce liver fat on MRI imaging

• Which vitamin E study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed reversal of liver damage

• The supplement that activates your body's "master metabolic switch" for fat burning

• Why milk thistle has been the gold standard for liver health for over 2,000 years

He's ranking each supplement by strength of clinical evidence, giving you exact dosages, who should take them, who shouldn't, and his top brand picks.

If you drink alcohol, take medications regularly, eat processed foods, or just live in the modern world—your liver needs support. This episode shows you how.

Episode Description

What if your childhood trauma isn't just stored in your mind, but written into the very structure of your nervous system—and the key to healing it lies in the language your body speaks before words?

Dr. Andrea McBeth is a somatic psychotherapist who has spent decades mapping the territory where psychology meets the body's innate intelligence. She's discovered that our earliest experiences—especially birth trauma and pre-verbal attachment wounds—create patterns in our nervous system that dictate how we respond to stress, intimacy, and life itself. But here's what makes her work revolutionary: she's developed methods to access and reorganize these patterns by working directly with the body's somatic intelligence, bypassing the limitations of talk therapy alone.

This episode reveals why your birth experience may have encoded a default stress response you've carried for decades, how the nervous system can be trained to complete defensive responses that were frozen in childhood, and why some healing only happens when we stop trying to think our way through it.

Discover:

• The somatic blueprint: how birth trauma and early attachment experiences create nervous system patterns that run automatically beneath conscious awareness for your entire life

• The completion principle: why unfinished defensive responses (fight, flight, freeze) from childhood stay locked in the body and how to safely complete them decades later

• The co-regulation foundation: how healing relational trauma requires another nervous system to help regulate yours, and why you can't think your way into feeling safe

Episode Description

Is the most popular whey protein in America actually good for you? Or are you building muscle while unknowingly stressing your gut, spiking inflammation, and loading up on hidden ingredients?

Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey—the protein powder stuffed in gym bags across the country—ingredient by ingredient, cross-referencing each one with the best available human studies.

The problem: NSF certification sounds reassuring, but it doesn't give you access to actual test results. No heavy metal data. No pesticide levels. No certificate of analysis for the tub sitting in your kitchen right now.

In this episode, Dr. G reveals:

• Why factory-farmed whey spikes omega-6 fatty acids 2.5x more than grass-fed sources

• The processing method that destroys up to 90% of cocoa's therapeutic benefits

• Which ingredient requires 28% more insulin than regular table sugar

• The "natural flavors" loophole hiding potentially hundreds of undisclosed chemicals

• 6 cleaner whey protein alternatives that actually publish their third-party testing
