This week Brooke McPoyle, a fascial educator and breathwork teacher, discusses the crucial role of fascia in overall health and well-being. The conversation explores fascia's impact on chronic pain, mood, brain fog, and chronic diseases, highlighting its often-overlooked importance.

The discussion delves into the effects of aging, modern footwear, and environmental factors on fascia, offering practical advice for improving fascial health through self-massage techniques (specifically, the "Fascial Flow" method), mindful breathing exercises, and conscious

hydration with high-quality water.

There’s a silent crisis happening right now: male fertility is collapsing. In just 40 years, sperm counts have dropped nearly 50% worldwide, reflecting a deeper disconnection from our health, environment, and future. In this powerful episode, Dr. G dives into the hidden factors destroying sperm health from poor diet, alcohol, smoking, stress, sleep deprivation, porn addiction, and environmental toxins and shares the 90-Day "Heal Thyself" Protocol to reclaim strength, vitality, and resilience. You’ll learn why sperm health matters even beyond fertility, how to rebuild it through diet, supplementation, sleep, and lifestyle changes, and why reconnecting to your health is essential for a life of purpose and energy.

In this episode of Heal Thyself, I dive deep into the hidden dangers of deodorants—specifically the presence of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” A recent study by Mamavation (March 2025) revealed that 40% of tested deodorants contained PFAS, with some brands showing shockingly high levels—Little Seed Farm came in at 103 ppm.

I break down which brands passed and failed PFAS testing and explain why this matters—PFAS can be absorbed through the thin skin of the underarm, leading to serious health issues like cancer, infertility, and thyroid dysfunction.

I also share actionable detox strategies you can use right now, including sweating regularly, taking binders, staying hydrated, and supporting your liver.

I strongly recommend avoiding the following brands due to PFAS concerns:

Little Seed Farm, doTERRA, Dr Teal’s, Lume, Hello, Kopari, and Secret.

Instead, here are some safer deodorant alternatives I trust:

Bello Tallow, Primally Pure, Pretty Frank, and Truvani.

Don’t forget to check your product labels for synthetic fragrances, aluminum salts, and other toxic ingredients.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. G is joined by renowned bioenergetics expert Dr. Sue Morter to explore the missing link in modern medicine: energy. Together, they break down how disruptions in energetic flow—often caused by subconscious blocks, unresolved trauma, and negative self-perception—can manifest as physical and mental illness.

Dr. Morter shares her groundbreaking approach to healing, offering practical techniques like slow belly breathing and her signature “object-subject” energy exercise. These tools help listeners rewire their internal energy systems, reclaim personal power, and activate the body’s natural self-healing capabilities.

The episode also dives into the role of childhood trauma, epigenetics, and the mind-body connection in the development of chronic disease, including cancer. Dr. G and Dr. Morter emphasize the importance of self-awareness, authenticity, and cultivating a positive internal environment to support lifelong health.

In this episode, Dr. G dives deep into the ancient and modern science of semen retention.

He explores its historical roots in traditions like Taoism and Hinduism, where semen was seen as a sacred life force, and contrasts that with today’s research—some of which links frequent ejaculation (21+ times per month) to a reduced risk of prostate cancer.

Dr. G breaks down the short-term effects of retention, such as possible testosterone surges, and takes a clear-eyed look at the long-term data—revealing there's no strong evidence for sustained physiological benefits. At the same time, he explores the spiritual and energetic practices that have long been paired with retention, including breathwork, meditation, and intentional abstinence.

In this podcast Dr. Jenelle Kim, a ninth-generation Traditional Oriental Medicine practitioner, explains how she assesses a patient's health through observation, pulse, and tongue diagnosis, focusing on the balance of yin and yang. She details the concept of yin and yang, explaining how imbalances manifest physically and emotionally, providing examples like dry, cracked tongues (yin deficiency) and fat, wet tongues (spleen deficiency). The interview explores the importance of Qi (vital energy), its flow through meridians, and how stagnation leads to various health problems. Dr. Kim emphasizes the three M's: medicine, movement (like Qigong), and meditation (mindset), highlighting the crucial role of self-awareness and self-regulation in maintaining balance and preventing burnout.

Studies show mouth breathing is linked to increased cavities, periodontal disease, sleep apnea, and higher stress levels, while nasal breathing offers numerous advantages including improved oxygenation, nitric oxide production, and better sleep.  Mouth taping, by encouraging nasal breathing, may alleviate these issues. Dr. G discusses how mouth taping works, its potential benefits (improved sleep, reduced snoring, better athletic performance, reduced anxiety), who should and shouldn't try it, how to choose a safe product, and caution for proper usage.
