Episode Description
Green powders are everywhere, but most of them are toxic dust with a health halo. Out of 25 green powder companies Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated, only 6 proved they're actually safe to drink.
The rest? 19 companies completely ignored basic safety questions. That means the majority of green powders flooding your feed can't even prove they're free of heavy metals, pesticides, mold, or glyphosate.
Green powders promise detox, energy, and vitality. But when they're grown in contaminated soil or processed with high heat, they can do the exact opposite—bioaccumulating toxins in your brain, liver, kidneys, and bones. The very systems you're trying to protect become the targets.
Without third-party testing and certificates of analysis, you have no idea what you're actually scooping into your morning routine. And your nervous system is paying the price.
In this episode, Dr. G exposes which major wellness brands refused transparency and reveals the only 6 green powder products worth your money in 2025:
• Why do greens like spirulina and chlorella absorb heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
• Which green powder companies provided full certificates of analysis?
• How does processing (freeze-dried vs. heat-dried) destroy up to 70% of nutrients?
• What role do green powders play in detoxification, gut health, and mitochondrial function?

Episode Description:
Your acne, rosacea, and premature aging aren't skin problems—they're signals from deep within your body. While the beauty industry pushes billions in topical treatments like retinol, fillers, and Botox, we're missing what's really causing chronic skin conditions.
Dr. G sits down with fellow naturopathic doctor and integrative dermatologist Dr. Trevor Cates to uncover the truth: every breakout is your body's way of communicating about gut health, hormonal imbalances, and internal inflammation. But the most shocking revelation? "The people with the worst skin often have the weakest boundaries."
Discover the profound mind-body connection behind your skin issues and why stress and emotional boundaries are directly linked to something called "leaky skin"—allowing toxins and chemicals to penetrate your skin barrier. If you've tried every expensive cream and elimination diet without results, this episode reveals the missing piece.
In This Episode:
⚫ How chronic stress and weak boundaries create "leaky skin" and barrier breakdown
⚫ Why your face is a direct reflection of gut health, hormones, and systemic inflammation
⚫ The toxic ingredients in skincare products making your skin worse
⚫ The truth about filler damage, Botox risks, and long-term cosmetic procedures
⚫ The non-negotiable products and practices for genuine skin longevity
⚫ How to heal your skin from the inside out using functional medicine principles
Key Takeaways:
✅ Skin conditions are symptoms—not the root cause—of internal imbalance
✅ "Leaky gut" and "leaky skin" are connected through inflammation and stress
✅ Emotional boundaries directly impact your skin's physical boundaries
✅ The beauty industry often worsens skin health with toxic ingredients
✅ True skin transformation requires addressing gut health, hormones, and nervous system regulation
✅ Holistic approaches outperform surface-level treatments for lasting results

Episode Description
Creatine is one of the most studied supplements in the world, yet most of what's on the shelves is garbage.
Out of 34 creatine companies Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated, only 5 made the cut.
The rest? 22 companies ignored his questions entirely. 7 responded but failed to provide complete certificates of analysis. That means the majority of creatine on the market can't even prove it's safe.
Creatine isn't just for bodybuilders. It powers your brain, protects your neurons under stress, fights age-related muscle loss, and emerging research shows it may even help with depression and neurodegenerative diseases.
But without third-party testing, you're left guessing what's actually in the product; and your nervous system pays the price.
In this episode, Dr. G exposes which brands refused transparency and reveals the only 5 creatine products worth your money in 2025:
• Why are heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents hiding in creatine?
• Which creatine companies provided full certificates of analysis?
• What's the clinical sweet spot for dosing creatine safely?
• How does creatine protect your brain, not just your muscles?

Episode Description:
So many adults are living with undiagnosed ADHD and they think the problem is them. Lazy. Scattered. Unfocused. Not living up to potential. Dr. G thought that about himself for decades… until at 41, he discovered he actually has ADHD. Suddenly the lost keys, unfinished projects, chronic lateness, sensory overwhelm, and shame all made sense.
In this intimate solo episode, Dr. G breaks down the neuroscience of adult ADHD, the trauma-based model Gabor Maté teaches, why the default mode network hijacks focus, how stimulant medications impact dopamine long term, and the lifestyle + supplement strategies backed by research.
In This Episode:
• How ADHD shows up in adults (and why it gets mislabeled as character flaws)
• Why high-functioning people go decades without knowing they have ADHD
• What the brain science actually reveals about focus, motivation & time perception
• The Gabor Maté trauma model — ADHD as adaptation vs disorder
• The stimulant conversation: benefits, risks, and dependency realities
• Lifestyle anchors that support the ADHD brain (sleep times, routines, movement)
• Research-backed supplements that can help support attention
Key Takeaways:
✅ ADHD isn’t laziness — it’s neurodevelopment + nervous system wiring
✅ Trauma in childhood shapes time perception and attention patterns
✅ Medication can help, but informed consent is essential
✅ Exercise, structure, breathwork, and key nutrients truly support regulation
✅ Compassion — not shame — is what actually unlocks change

Episode Description:
This week, the internet exploded with one alarming headline:
“Chobani yogurt can give you cancer.”
So what’s really going on?
Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down the federal class action lawsuit accusing Chobani of selling yogurt contaminated with phthalates — plastic chemicals linked to hormonal disruption, lower testosterone, fertility issues, and even cancer.
But here’s what the headlines got wrong.
These chemicals aren’t ingredients. They are contaminants that leach in from the plastic equipment used throughout modern food production.
In this episode, Dr. G separates fear from fact and answers the real questions:
• What is this lawsuit actually about?
• How do phthalates end up in your yogurt?
• What does bioaccumulation mean and why does it matter for your hormones?
• Which yogurt brands actually test clean?
