Podpage: Scientists Found 4 Things That Actually Lowers Inflammation | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #512
Aug 20, 202614 min
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. Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn’t respond to our outreach, it doesn’t automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they’re failing their customers on transparency and communication. We reach out multiple times. No response isn’t an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.

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.

Why I Would Never Take Melatonin to Fall Asleep | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #510
Aug 13, 202611 min
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. Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn’t respond to our outreach, it doesn’t automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they’re failing their customers on transparency and communication.

If your container can only hold 60 watts of energy, that is all you are getting. No strategy, no opportunity, no amount of hustle changes that. What changes it is expanding the vessel itself. David Ghiyam is a Kabbalah teacher and spiritual coach who has spent 25 years working with people at the intersection of consciousness, abundance, and transformation. This is one of the most expansive conversations Heal Thy Self has ever had. It moves from money ceilings and competing belief systems to anxiety as a message from your highest destiny, to darkness as excess light, to the energetic pipes of mother and father that govern healing and abundance. It goes places most podcasts never go and it earns every minute of it. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why the ceiling you keep hitting with money, love, or opportunity has nothing to do with the outside world, and why fixing your circumstances without expanding your spiritual vessel is fighting a shadow instead of the seed • What competing belief systems are and how a hidden belief you are completely unaware of can quietly sabotage every goal your conscious mind is working toward • Why anxiety is not a problem to solve but a signal that your higher destiny is trying to come in and cannot, and what it actually takes to open the channel This one will stay with you.

The 4 Supplements I Use to Lower Cortisol | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #508
Aug 6, 202615 min
Episode Description: Wired and exhausted at the same time. Weight around your midsection that will not move no matter what you do. Mind racing the moment your head hits the pillow. That is not too much cortisol. That is a cortisol curve that has lost its shape. And there is a very real difference between those two things. Before Dr. G gets into the four supplements that have actual human research behind them, he is going to expose the cortisol detox teas and adrenal fatigue narrative for what they are. You cannot detox a steroid hormone. And the concept of adrenal fatigue was examined across 58 studies and has no scientific basis. What you actually have is a dysregulated HPA axis, and that is something you can actually fix. In this episode, you will learn: • Why ashwagandha is the most proven cortisol lowering supplement on earth by a wide margin, the exact label trick companies use to sell you an underdosed product, and who should never take it regardless of stress levels • The difference between the person who spikes easily under pressure and the person who crashes after sustained stress, why these require completely different supplements, and what phosphatidylserine and rhodiola each do that the other cannot • Why 45% of fish oil on shelves is already rancid, how to read the label to find out if your EPA and DHA numbers are actually therapeutic, and how omega-3s physically blunt both resting cortisol and cortisol spikes under stress Plus the one warning sign that means your cortisol issue is not everyday stress and you need to see a doctor immediately.Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality.
