In this episode, I explore why eating in Europe often feels so much better than in the U.S., from improved digestion to increased energy. We’ll break down key factors like the fresher, less processed, and locally sourced foods that lead to better gut health, the differences in gluten processing, and how Europe's relaxed, mindful approach to dining enhances the overall experience. You'll also learn how cultural practices, like social dining, positively impact mental and physical well-being. Plus, I’ll share actionable tips to help you replicate these benefits at home

Join Dr. G and special guest Dr. Juliana Giles as they explore the complex connections between chronic diseases, trauma, and lifestyle choices in this enlightening episode. Together, they examine the rising rates of conditions like cancer and autoimmune disorders, focusing on how early trauma can dysregulate the nervous system, leading to immune and hormonal dysfunction. You’ll learn how nearly 90% of cancer cases are influenced by epigenetic factors, including lifestyle and environmental exposure, rather than genetics. Dr. G and Dr. Giles discuss the impact of diet, toxins, and stress on health, especially in younger populations, and offer actionable advice on improving gut health, managing stress, and creating safer environments for healing.

In this episode, Dr. G dives into the recent $1.2 billion acquisition of Siete Foods by PepsiCo and what it could mean for the health-conscious consumer. Siete, known for its grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free Mexican-American-inspired products, has gained a loyal following for its commitment to allergen-friendly foods. But now that PepsiCo is taking the reins, can we be sure the quality and authenticity will remain intact?

Dr. G also reveals several health and wellness brands you may not realize were acquired by major corporations, including Annie’s, RXBAR, and Garden of Life. With these takeovers come concerns about product changes—like the introduction of GMOs, preservatives, or shifting ingredient quality.

In a recent discussion with Dr. Sonia Chopra, a board-certified endodontist, we explored the intricacies of root canals, shedding light on their safety, efficacy, and common misconceptions. Dr. Chopra emphasizes that when performed by qualified professionals, root canals can effectively save teeth and prevent further dental issues. She highlights the stark contrast between well-executed and poorly done procedures, noting the complications that can arise from inadequate care. Advances in modern technology, such as 3D imaging and sound wave disinfection techniques, significantly enhance the success rates of root canals, which boast an impressive success rate of 95-97%. Dr. Chopra underscores the importance of patient advocacy, encouraging individuals to be proactive in their dental care, seek second opinions, and fully understand their treatment options. Through compelling anecdotes, including a case involving a 16-year-old girl whose root canal preserved her jaw and smile, she illustrates the potential positive outcomes of quality care, while also revealing that 50% of her practice involves addressing poorly executed root canals, underscoring the necessity for vigilance in dental treatment.

In this video, Dr.G explores a recent study revealing toxic heavy metals in tampons, including those marketed as organic, and reviews various brands to help you make informed choices for your health. All tested tampons contained heavy metals, raising serious concerns. Focused on brands using organic cotton, avoiding harmful chemicals, and lacking bleaching agents. Notably, Organyc, Cora, and Viv emerged as top choices, being certified and tested for heavy metals. However, some brands, like Nature Care, claim no detectable heavy metals but lack publicly available testing data, and others to approach with caution include RAEL, Honeypot, OB, Playtex, and Toms of Maine, with some brands like August, Daye, and Garnuu missing in action. To minimize exposure to heavy metals, opt for the top-rated brands and seek out those with transparent testing results and certifications.

In this enlightening episode of our health and wellness podcast, Dr. G sits down with Salim Najjar to explore the shift from biohacking to bioharmonizing. They dive deep into how nervous system regulation is crucial for achieving optimal health and well-being. Salim Najjar explains the transition from optimizing health through technology to aligning with your environment, emphasizing the significance of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as a key biomarker for assessing autonomic nervous system health. The discussion covers the two primary states of the autonomic nervous system—sympathetic (stress) and parasympathetic (relaxation)—and the impact of unprocessed emotions on both physical and emotional health. Salim shares his personal journey from an engineering background to health and wellness, including how he reframed a shoulder injury as a growth opportunity and the pivotal role of HRV and nervous system regulation in his path. Listeners will gain actionable steps such as monitoring HRV with wearables, practicing emotional awareness through somatic work and meditation, and being mindful of their environment to enhance well-being. Tune in for valuable insights and practical advice on navigating the path to better health through bioharmonizing.
