Heal Thy Self with Dr. G

Episode Description:

Over 21 million women in the United States are dealing with bacterial vaginosis right now. Most of them have never told a single person. Not their doctor, not their closest friend, not their partner. Because somewhere along the way we decided this was not something we talk about. Today we will talk about it.

Danielle spent five years cycling through antibiotics, specialists, Reddit rabbit holes, and remedies that did not work. When she finally told her then new boyfriend Hans, he did not run. He asked how he could help. Hans happened to come from a family that had been manufacturing dietary supplements for 30 years. What came out of that conversation became Happy V, a vaginal probiotic that does not just feed the good bacteria but hunts down the bad ones.

Danielle and Hans break it down — in order:

Take 1: "Antibiotics eliminate all the bacteria — and then it comes right back" Danielle explains why the standard treatment for BV sets women up for a revolving cycle of reinfection. She breaks down what is actually happening in the vaginal microbiome and why the conventional approach keeps missing the root cause.

Take 2: "The shame around BV is destroying relationships" From new couples to long marriages, BV is ending intimacy and keeping women isolated in embarrassment. Hans and Danielle share what that conversation looked like for them and why having it honestly changed everything.

Take 3: "Not all probiotics are the same and most gummies are basically useless" Hans pulls back the curtain on how the supplement industry actually works and why most probiotic products on the shelf cannot deliver what they promise. He explains what three things a label has to show before a probiotic is worth buying.

Take 4: "Probiotics hate water, acid, and heat — which is everything a gummy is made of" This one will make you look at your cabinet differently. Hans explains exactly why the gummy format destroys the very bacteria you are trying to consume and what format actually protects them.

Take 5: "Give it time — anyone telling you this works overnight is lying to you" Dietary supplements are not magic and the marketing around vaginal health is especially aggressive. Danielle and Hans give the honest timeline and explain what patience actually looks like when you have the right product.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why recurring BV is not a hygiene problem, what is actually driving the imbalance, and why the antibiotic cycle keeps women stuck instead of healed

• How to read a probiotic label and what three things the International Probiotic Association says must be present for a product to actually be legitimate

• Why the vaginal microbiome is one of the most undertreated areas of women's health and how an imbalanced pH affects everything from intimacy to confidence to daily comfort

This one is for every woman who has suffered in silence and every partner who wants to understand.

Episode Description:

You are living in an electromagnetic soup and most people have no idea. Over 4,000 published studies show harmful effects from EMF exposure on the brain, blood, nervous system, fertility, and more. The European Parliament has its own report on the cancer and fertility risks. And with 6G rolling out faster than 5G ever did, it is not getting better.

This guest spent years as a VP at T-Mobile before switching sides. Now he studies and develops technology designed to harmonize EMF exposure rather than ignore it. This conversation covers what EMFs are doing inside the brain within seconds of exposure, why the problems accumulate silently until they are hard to trace back, and what anyone can actually do about it right now.

Dr. G and his guest break it down — in order:

Take 1: "EMFs are detrimental to human health and there are over 4,000 studies that show it" Most people cannot find this research on the first page of a Google search, but it exists and it spans decades. The guest breaks down what the evidence actually shows and where to find it.

Take 2: "Within seconds in the brain, everything linked to stress fires up" EMF exposure does not wait weeks or months to affect your nervous system. The guest explains what happens inside the brain almost immediately upon exposure and why that matters for anxiety, brain fog, and chronic stress.

Take 3: "You cannot hide from EMFs anymore" From 5G towers to Starlink to electric vehicles, there is nowhere left to escape. The guest explains why the goal cannot be avoidance and what the realistic path forward actually looks like.

Take 4: "6G is going to be much worse than 5G" The next wave of wireless technology is already rolling out and the latest generation of mobile phones attacks the lymphatic system faster and deeper than the one before. The guest lays out what is coming and why staying informed matters.

Take 5: "You can start becoming more coherent right now, for free" Meditation, sunlight, nature, yoga, and tai chi all support your biofield even before any technology gets involved. The guest gives the honest baseline of what lifestyle alone can do and where its limits are.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why EMF exposure causes problems that accumulate silently, why most people attribute their symptoms to something else entirely, and why the brain is especially vulnerable because it is the central steering organ for everything in the body

• How gamers, pilots, Uber drivers, and anyone with multiple screens and Bluetooth devices are experiencing compounded EMF exposure at levels the body was never designed to handle

• What coherence technology is, how it differs from simply blocking or shielding EMFs, and what the research behind it actually shows

Episode Description:

That stiffness when you wake up. The puffiness in your face. Feeling exhausted after eight hours of sleep. That is inflammation. And chronic inflammation is a low silent fire burning in your body every single day, quietly driving almost every disease you are afraid of.

Most people have already spent good money trying to fix it. Most of them felt nothing. And the truth is not that supplements for inflammation are a scam. The truth is that most of what is on the shelf is underdosed, in the wrong form, and targeting the wrong pathway. Dr. G breaks down four supplements with real research behind them, the exact doses used in the trials, and the label tricks companies use to take your money without delivering results.

Dr. G breaks down his anti-inflammatory protocol — in order:

Take 1: "Ibuprofen does not lower your inflammation" Dr. G exposes why the most common go-to for pain and inflammation is only a temporary mask, not a fix. He reveals the molecule your body already makes to shut inflammation off and how to actually support it.

Take 2: "One capsule of fish oil a day is doing close to nothing" The dose that moves inflammatory markers in real bloodwork is dramatically higher than what most people take. Dr. G gives the exact EPA and DHA number to hit and shows how to spot the label trick that makes you think you are getting more than you are.

Take 3: "Boswellia hits a branch of inflammation that fish oil cannot reach" This is the one almost nobody is talking about. Dr. G breaks down why Boswellia serrata blocks a completely different inflammatory pathway and what has to appear on the label or the product is essentially useless.

Take 4: "Cheap curcumin exits your body before it does anything" The most counterfeited anti-inflammatory supplement on the shelf gets a full breakdown. Dr. G explains what absorption actually requires, why black pepper is not enough, and what form to look for instead.

Take 5: "Ginger is criminally underrated" It is dirt cheap, probably already in your spice drawer, and blocks both major inflammatory pathways. Dr. G makes the case for why ginger belongs in every anti-inflammatory protocol and what dose the research actually used.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why ibuprofen only presses the alarm button down temporarily while your body already has its own system for switching inflammation off, and how omega-3s at a real dose provide the raw materials for that system to work

• Why Boswellia serrata blocks a completely different branch of inflammation than ibuprofen or fish oil, why that matters if you have joint or autoimmune issues, and the one number that has to appear on the label or you have no idea what you are getting

• Why cheap curcumin is barely absorbed and exits your body before it does anything, what standardized and phytosome actually mean, and why ginger at one to three grams a day lowered objective inflammatory markers in clinical trials

Plus why none of these four supplements will work if chronic stress is keeping your nervous system in low grade fight or flight every day.

Episode Description:

Your morning smoothie might be working against you. Your intermittent fasting routine might be dysregulating your hormones. And Botox, from a Chinese medicine perspective, is freezing the very nervous system pathways that keep your skin alive. Dr. Felice Chan is back on Heal Thy Self and this time the conversation happened outside, on a walk, in a rosemary bush.

Dr. Felice is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner based in Los Angeles, and she connects dots between ancient medicine and modern biology in a way that stops you mid-sentence. This conversation covers breakfast, fasting, facial acupuncture, Botox, aging, and why everything in the body comes back to nervous system regulation and the rest and digest state.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why cold and blended foods create what Chinese medicine calls dampness in the body, how that slows metabolism and digestion, and what Dr. Felice's own smoothie habit led to after two to three months of daily use

• Why most fasting research was done on men, what happens to a woman's cortisol and hormones when she skips breakfast, and the Chinese medicine case for a warm morning meal

• The difference between what Botox does to the face neurologically versus what cosmetic acupuncture does, and why one freezes while the other reinvigorates

Beauty from the inside out. This is what that actually looks like in practice.

Episode Description:

You are probably taking melatonin wrong and it is almost certainly not your fault. Most people take it like a sleeping pill every night, wake up groggy, and eventually need more and more to get the same effect. That is not a melatonin deficiency. That is melatonin being used for something it was never designed to do at a dose your body would never produce on its own.

The amount of melatonin your brain actually releases at night is about 3 tenths of 1 milligram. Your gummy says 10. The research is humbling and the label may not even be accurate. Researchers tested 30 melatonin products off store shelves and found the real content ranged from 83% below the label to nearly five times above it. In roughly one out of four products they found serotonin, a compound that was not listed on the label at all.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why melatonin is a timing hormone and not a sedative, what it is actually designed to do in the body, and why taking a giant dose expecting to be knocked unconscious was never how it works

• Whether long term melatonin use shuts down your body's own production, why the answer is no, and what the real risks actually are

• Why Dr. G never raises the dose when a patient says melatonin has stopped working, what he does instead, and the specific scenarios where melatonin is genuinely the right tool

Plus the warning every parent needs to hear before giving melatonin to a child.
