Episode Description:
Is your phone the first face you see each morning? Do notifications interrupt meals, meetings—even your thoughts? Tired with no hard work to blame? Your attention didn’t disappear—it was taken.

Dr. Zelana Montminy holds a doctorate in clinical psychology, trained in nutrition at Cornell, wrote 21 Days to Resilience, and advises Fortune 500 companies. She exposes how modern life trains your brain for distraction, and shows you how to take your focus back without more apps, hacks, or guilt.
Here’s what you’ll discover inside this episode:
The truth about “phone addiction”: Why you’re not addicted to the device—you’re addicted to escaping discomfort, and how to break that loop.

The 23-minute switch cost: What task-switching really does to your brain and nervous system—and simple monotasking resets that restore clarity.

From fight/flight to calm: How pings, tabs, and notifications keep you dysregulated—and practical ways to downshift your physiology fast.

Boredom as a superpower: Why doing nothing can be more powerful than meditation for rebuilding attention—and how to practice it daily.

Morning priming, fixed: The single habit that hijacks your focus before your feet hit the floor—and a three-minute alternative that protects your day.

Rewriting your reward loops: Dopamine, novelty, and cravings—how to design “friction” and set a realistic dopamine budget that sticks.

Environment by default: Notification triage, home-screen layout, and workspace cues that make focus automatic (and distraction annoying).

Attention training that works: Short, science-backed micro-exercises to lengthen your focus span and reduce the urge to check.

Boundaries that hold: Simple scripts to protect dinner, date night, and deep work—without becoming “that person” glued to their phone.

Real-world playbooks: The habits Dr. Montminy teaches in companies and schools to restore mental bandwidth—adapted for your life.
This isn’t more willpower. It’s behavioral science meeting practical, humane habits. Walk away with a clear plan to reclaim your focus, calm your nervous system, and feel genuinely rested again.

Don’t miss this conversation. Join the rebellion against digital distraction and start getting your attention back today.

Episode Description:
Why are you still tired, stressed, and inflamed — even when you eat clean and take all the right supplements?
The answer: there’s an invisible energy powering every heartbeat, every breath, and every thought.

Modern life scrambles this energy. And until you fix it, no diet, no pill, and no protocol will fully work.

On today’s episode of Heal Thy Self, Dr. Catherine Clinton, ND, reveals how the new science of quantum biology explains what’s really running your health — and how you can tap into it.
Here’s what you’ll discover inside this episode:
• Quantum biology basics: Why your cells work together like a perfectly tuned orchestra — moving energy with amazing efficiency.
• Your mind as medicine: How thoughts create measurable fields that can shift your body’s health in real time.
• The EMF crisis: Why man-made signals disrupt your cells — and simple steps like grounding and light exposure that restore balance.
• Water as your body’s battery: The science of structured water inside your cells and how it powers healing.
• Fascia as your wiring system: How freeing blocked fascia unlocks energy and even stored trauma.
• Daily rhythm resets: The morning light and evening darkness rituals that restore hormones, mood, and sleep.
• Sound healing made simple: How humming boosts nitric oxide, serotonin, and oxytocin while reducing inflammation.
• Grounding in minutes: Why standing barefoot on the earth instantly calms your nervous system.
• Heart–brain coherence: How your emotions create fields that affect not only you, but everyone around you.
This isn’t theory. This is peer-reviewed science meeting practical wisdom. And it gives you simple, powerful tools to recharge your energy, calm your nervous system, and unlock your body’s natural healing.
Don’t miss this conversation — it could change the way you see your health forever.

Cancer has been growing in your body for 8-10 years before you feel anything. While conventional doctors wait for symptoms—lumps, pain, bleeding—you're losing nearly a decade of prevention time. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, who runs one of America's largest integrative cancer centers, reveals the shocking truth: less than 1% of cancers are actually genetic. The rest are completely preventable, but medical school teaches disease management, not prevention protocols. She's developed blood tests that catch cancer before it becomes cancer, discovered why your emotions literally create disease in your body, and uses protocols to reverse what conventional medicine calls "incurable." Cancer rates are exploding in young people—this isn't wellness talk, it's life-or-death information that could save you or someone you love.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Cancer's hidden 8-10 year timeline: from first abnormal cell to detectable tumor—why early intervention during this window can prevent cancer entirely, not just treat it after diagnosis
• The real cancer causes: less than 1% genetic, 99% environmental factors including chronic stress, toxin exposure, and unresolved emotional trauma that keeps you in survival mode
• Liquid biopsy breakthroughs: blood tests detecting circulating tumor cells years before imaging shows anything—90% accuracy in identifying cancer development before symptoms appear
• Why conventional treatment fails: surgery, chemo, and radiation treat symptoms but ignore the toxic terrain that allowed cancer to develop in the first place
• The emotional cancer connection: how chronic unresolved stress suppresses immune function and creates the acidic environment cancer thrives in—plus the device that identifies emotional conflicts in minutes
• Advanced prevention protocols: comprehensive blood work detecting hormonal imbalances, heavy metals, and inflammatory markers that predict cancer risk years in advance
• Low-dose chemotherapy revolution: using 10% conventional doses with insulin targeting and immediate detox support to maximize effectiveness while minimizing damage
• The fungal theory of cancer: why medications like fenbendazole and ivermectin show anti-cancer properties and how to use them safely with proper liver protection
• Personalized nutrition strategies: why there's no one-size-fits-all cancer diet and how to determine whether keto, plant-based, or other approaches work for your specific situation
• Energy medicine integration: how frequency therapy, red light treatment, and cellular voltage optimization support healing at the deepest level alongside conventional treatments

What if everything you've been taught about death is wrong? Medical intuitive and psychic medium Julie Ryan has spent 30 years connecting with spirits and watching thousands of people transition. Her message will shock you: everyone goes to heaven—even people you think don't deserve it.
Your deceased loved ones are around you right now, and you can actually communicate with them. Julie breaks down the 12 phases every soul goes through when dying, reveals why there are no "evil spirits," and shows you how to tap into your own intuitive abilities that you've had since childhood.
Whether you're grieving, afraid of death, or curious about the afterlife, this conversation offers profound comfort and a radically different perspective on what happens when we die.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• The 12 phases of transition: exactly what happens when someone dies, from spirit leaving the body through angelic escort to heaven—validated by 5th-century prayers and modern physics
• Why everyone goes to heaven: no exceptions, no judgment—all spirits are pure love, and the "bad" personality traits stay with the body when we die
• How to communicate with deceased loved ones: your head is like a satellite dish—think of them and they respond instantly with the first thought that comes to mind
• The truth about "evil spirits": they don't exist—what people think are demons are actually lost souls looking for loved ones, often reincarnated family members
• Why children see ghosts until age 6-7: we're all born intuitive, but adults teach kids to shut it down by saying "it's just imagination"
• The emotional roots of cancer: people who are great at giving but terrible at receiving—illness forces them to accept care they've always refused
• How to distinguish real spirit communication from your own thoughts: if it feels neutral or good, it's them; if it feels bad, rephrase your question
• Your innate healing abilities: everyone can heal themselves energetically—Julie teaches people to see inside bodies and connect with spirits in just one weekend
• Why near-death experiences differ from actual death: NDEs are like spiritual snapshots, while real transition involves specific angelic assistance and deceased family greeting you

Episode summary
For empaths, introverts, and anyone who feels other people’s moods deeply: this episode is for you.

Dr. G sits down with Dr. Jason Yuan (ND)—a naturopathic doctor who blends energy healing with practical basics (sleep, minerals, breath, gut care). He explains pranic healing in plain English (think acupuncture without needles) and shares simple habits to use after hard talks, busy rooms, or long days.

• Post-conversation reset (60–120s): pause, breathe a little slower through your nose, then say one release line (silently or aloud): “I release what isn’t mine.”
• Salt routine: in the shower, rub a handful of salt over shoulders/arms and rinse; or take a bath with 1–2 cups of salt to clear that heavy, lingering feeling.

• Grounding: spend 5–10 minutes barefoot on grass/earth. No yard? Stand still indoors, feel your feet, and breathe slowly for a minute.
• Why sensitive people “catch” the room’s mood—and how to turn the volume down
• How pranic (hands-off) energy work helps the body reset

• Daily rhythm basics (sleep, minerals, steady meals) that make you more resilient
About the guest:
I’m with Dr. Jason Yuan, a naturopathic doctor who grounds energy practices in physiology—nervous system, breath, minerals, and gut. He cites mind–body research at MD Anderson Cancer Center where a healer’s brain-state shifts were linked to changes in cells, and he turns those insights into simple, repeatable routines.

Listen now to get the full walkthrough and context behind each step.

Episode Summary
Ever start talking in a meeting and your voice cracks, your hands get sweaty, and your mind goes blank? You’re not alone.
Today Dr. G sits down with Salvatore Manzi, a communication coach with 20+ years of experience who’s helped people speak at Y Combinator and the United Nations. He explains why your body does this under pressure—and shares simple moves you can use today so you feel calm, clear, and in control at work, on stage, or on Zoom.
If you avoid speaking up or leave meetings thinking, “I wish I said that,” this episode is for you. You’ll hear how to breathe the easy way before you talk, a quick 10-second move to release nerves, a small hand cue that helps you feel grounded, and a three-word line that stops the mental spiral when someone in the audience looks unhappy or skeptical.

What You’ll Learn
• A 3-word reset that stops the spiral: “Not about me.”
• Box breathing made easy—and how many rounds you actually need.
• A 10-second shake-out to dump nervous energy fast (backstage or before a meeting).
• How to flip fear into excitement in seconds (same body feelings, better result).
• A quick body anchor (thumb to finger) to feel grounded on command.
• If you ramble or over-prepare, the fast fix for each.
• What to do when someone looks skeptical without losing your flow.
• The simple rule “one idea → one gesture” so your hands don’t steal the show.
• Why pauses, voice changes, and simple metaphors make people remember you.
• A kinder way to handle imposter thoughts: name the inner critic, then tame it.
• On Zoom: show your hands, use clear small gestures, and add short beats to hold attention.

Trauma rewrites your nervous system at the cellular level, creating changes often mistaken for personality traits. When stress becomes inescapable, it triggers mitochondrial shutdown that affects energy production and explains sudden crashes.

In this episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian breaks down the four stage pathway of startle, stress, freeze, and shutdown, where the crucial 15 second startle window determines whether responses become adaptive or automatic trauma patterns. She shares her retraining protocol using controlled activation and proper nervous system nutrition to rewire neural pathways faster than traditional methods.

Her philosophy shifts from trauma focused excavation to life focused emergence, concentrating on living fully today rather than digging through past wounds. When your system has sufficient safety and resources, healing surfaces naturally through life's synchronicities.

Stop trying to fix what's broken and start building what's alive.

Modern hormonal dysfunction stems from environmental toxins, chronic stress, and lifestyle factors, but advanced testing and targeted interventions can restore optimal function. In this episode, hormone optimization expert Guy Citrin reveals how stress dominates hormone balance while plastic exposure acts as estrogen mimics, decreasing testosterone and contributing to rising infertility rates. He explains how microplastics embedded in tissues disrupt receptor function and can trigger hormone-dependent cancers.

Guy breaks down why conventional blood tests tell an incomplete story and how the Dutch test's analysis of 52 hormone breakdown components reveals hundreds of dysfunction patterns, enabling precise interventions. Discover his clinical approach to testosterone optimization, the therapeutic potential of peptides for natural body modulation, and why quality sourcing determines results.

The difference between feeling "normal" and feeling vital lies in the breakdown story your blood work isn't telling you.

When we contacted collagen companies requesting basic safety documentation, most major brands either declined or never responded. 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.

Transformational healing happens when we stop rehashing past problems and start focusing intensely on what we want to become. 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.
