Or are you wasting money on formulas with zero clinical evidence while your eyesight quietly deteriorates? Dr. Christian Gonzalez ranked the top 5 evidence-based supplements for vision protection, revealing which ones have real clinical data behind them, and which popular options barely move the needle. The reality: Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in adults over 50, and vision problems are now showing up in people in their 30s and 40s thanks to screen time and nutrient deficiencies. In this episode, Dr. G reveals: • The #1 gold-standard formula proven to reduce advanced macular degeneration risk by 25% backed by government-funded trials with 4,000+ participants • Why omega-3s won't save your macula (but will help something else) • The carotenoid duo that acts as internal sunglasses, filtering blue light directly in the retina • Two emerging supplements with exciting 2024 research, including one spice showing real improvements in retinal function • Exact dosages, forms that actually absorb, and brands worth your money My one stop shop for quality supplements: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:58 - What's Actually Destroying Your Eyes 3:35 - Supplement #5 7:09 - Supplement #4 10:22 - Supplement #3 13:57 - Supplement #2 17:41 - Honorable Mention 19:09 - Supplement #1 23:20 - Final Thoughts: Protect Your Vision

Dr. Josh Redd runs one of the largest autoimmune clinics in the country and has spent 16 years helping patients conventional medicine gave up on. His core insight: inflammation in short bouts is life-saving, but when chronic, it becomes the key driver of nearly all disease. This is the mechanism behind why diets keep failing, gut supplements don't work, and you might feel like you're going crazy when it's actually your brain that's inflamed. Dr. Redd explains why eating less and exercising more can make things worse, how your brain controls your gut (not the reverse), and why "healthy" foods might be fueling your autoimmune fire. Discover: • The $25 inflammation test that reveals whether chronic inflammation is sabotaging your metabolism, brain, and immune system • Why supplements can't outrun a bad diet, and the enzyme inflammation shuts down that makes fat loss nearly impossible • The cortisol steal, and how stress converts reproductive hormones into cortisol, explaining skyrocketing infertility • The brain gut connection doctors miss, and why trauma keeps your gut from working properly • The autoimmune reversal truth, and why Dr. Redd says autoimmune disease is reversible when you address triggers instead of suppressing symptoms • The blue light crisis, and how phone use after 5pm destroys cortisol rhythm, wrecks sleep, and flares autoimmune conditions Find Dr. Josh Redd: Website - https://redriver.health/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drjoshredd/ Book - The Inflammatory Reset Timestamps: 0:00 - Why inflammation is destroying your health 2:10 - The hidden reason you can't lose weight despite eating less 3:22 - The #1 overlooked trigger for autoimmune disease 7:18 - How Dr. Josh Redd discovered his path to treating autoimmune patients 13:41 - Why 90% of autoimmune disease starts in the gut and liver 15:43 - The brain-gut connection most doctors miss 23:02 - How unresolved trauma keeps your body inflamed 29:32 - Simple $25 blood tests to check your inflammation levels 43:01 - Blue light and phone use: the autoimmune connection 49:19 - Inflammation's role in infertility51:26 - Why kids' mental health is under assault from diet 58:16 - The Inflammatory Reset: Dr. Redd's new book

Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated the supplement industry with one critical framework: three non-negotiable questions every supplement must pass before it belongs in your cabinet—not just marketing claims and influencer endorsements. The shocking reality? Most supplements fail because they rely on acute stimulation or theoretical mechanisms instead of reproducible human evidence showing measurable improvements in the outcomes you actually care about. The hidden failures in popular supplements: • Fat burner blends that only work through nervous system stress—increasing cortisol, disrupting sleep, and working against sustainable fat loss long-term • Generic probiotics with a few strains marketed as "gut health solutions" when the microbiome • contains hundreds of thousands of species • Expensive detox and liver cleanse kits that rely on laxatives and diuretics instead of supporting the enzyme systems actually doing the work • Probiotics that don't survive gastric acid, don't colonize, and may worsen symptoms in people with histamine sensitivity or SIBO In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez reveals: • The 3-question framework that instantly filters out supplements wasting space in your cabinet • The "try" tier supplements with emerging human data that could be game-changers for the right person • Which supplements scored 8+ out of 10 on evidence—and why most people are buying the wrong forms • The absorption problem no one talks about that makes one popular anti-inflammatory basically useless in standard form • A post-biotic compound most people can't produce enough of naturally—and why it matters after 30 • The amino acid that smooths out caffeine jitters without making you drowsy • Exact doses, timing, and what separates quality brands from contaminated, underdosed products My one stop shop for quality supplements: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:51 - Three questions to ask before buying any supplement 2:52 - Supplements to skip 11:07 - Supplements worth trying 16:25 - Supplements worth buying 21:43 - How to spend your supplement money smarter

My one stop shop for quality supplements:⁠ https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Episode Description What if the person you're most attracted to is actually the worst person for you—not because they're bad, but because that intense chemistry means they mirror your deepest childhood wounds? Vanessa Bennett, depth therapist and author of The Motherhood Myth, has worked with thousands of couples and seen the same pattern destroy relationships over and over: we use relationships to hide from ourselves when the whole point is that they're meant to mirror us back to who we really are. This isn't surface-level relationship advice. This is the psychology of the soul—the unconscious patterns, attachment wounds, and generational programming that keep us stuck in cycles we can't seem to break. Vanessa explains why expecting your partner to heal you is the most common mistake in relationships, how "chemistry" often just means "familiar dysfunction," and the critical difference between setting boundaries and building walls. She also reveals why little boys are actually more emotional than little girls (research proves it)—and how society shames that out of them until they can only access feelings through anger, addiction, or their partners. Discover: • The "choose me" wound—why women are conditioned to place their worth in being chosen, and how this creates self-abandonment in relationships • Why you keep attracting the same type—the symptom is serving a purpose, and until you understand what that purpose is, the pattern won't change • The pendulum swing trap—how "doing the work" on boundaries often swings from no boundaries to walls and ultimatums • The potential fallacy—why staying in a relationship with who someone could be instead of who they are prevents both of you from growing • Codependency as a societal issue—it's not just the wives of alcoholics; it's what we've all been taught love looks like • The repair that changes everything—how to fight in front of your kids without traumatizing them (hint: the rupture isn't the problem, the missing repair is) • Why men "siphon" emotions through their partners—and how this dynamic explodes when children enter the picture • The self-abandonment pattern—how learning to distrust your own body as a child creates adults who can't recognize their own truth Here's the uncomfortable reality: your partner isn't meant to complete you, heal you, or make you feel enough. They're meant to activate the wounds you came here to heal—so you can finally do the work.

  • Doctor Reveals Top 5 Hair Loss Supplements | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #448

Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated the hair loss supplement industry with one critical question: which supplements have randomized controlled trials showing measurable improvements in hair density and shedding reduction—not just theoretical mechanisms and marketing logic? The shocking reality? Most hair supplements fail because they assume hair loss is about "feeding the hair" when it's really about removing the signals that tell follicles to shut down and shift from growth phase into shedding. In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez reveals: • The 5 supplements with actual human evidence for hair growth—ranked by evidence scores (7-8 out of 10) • Why Viviscal's proprietary marine protein complex (Amomar) has the strongest data but isn't the cleanest formulation • How cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil inhibits 5-alpha reductase and reduces DHT without crashing hormones systemically • The lipid sterol extract of saw palmetto that works—and why whole berry powder doesn't • How curcumin phytosome (Meriva, BCM-95) addresses chronic inflammation in the scalp environment • Why mixed tocotrienols protect follicles from oxidative stress better than standard vitamin E • Exact evidence-based doses, realistic timelines (3-6 months minimum), and specific brands Dr. G trusts Timestamps: 0:00 - Why Most Hair Supplements Fail (3 Critical Reasons) 2:26 - #1: Marine Protein Complex (Viviscal) for Hair Density 4:29 - Forms Matter: How to Buy Quality Marine Complex 6:30 - #2: Pumpkin Seed Oil for DHT Modulation 8:29 - Cold-Pressed vs Powder: Why Forms Matter for Androgens 10:05 - #3: Saw Palmetto Extract for Follicle Protection 12:46 - #4: Curcumin Phytosome for Scalp Inflammation 15:43 - #5: Tocotrienols (Vitamin E Complex) for Oxidative Stress 18:16 - Final Takeaways: Stop Wasting Money on Hair Loss Hype

David Nurse, high-performance coach to NBA All-Stars and Olympic gold medalists, discovered that elite performers don't hope for flow—they engineer it. The secret isn't motivation or talent. It's neuroscience. This isn't vague "find your flow" advice. This is the brain mapping research revealing that flow state occurs at a precise frequency—10 Hz in the Alpha zone—and the specific protocols to train your nervous system to access it on demand. David breaks down why legendary athletes like Kobe Bryant could enter "the zone" during championships, the paradoxical tension required for effortless focus, and the deep practice methodology that builds neural pathways for consistent peak performance. Discover: • The 10 Hz revelation—why flow happens at a measurable brainwave frequency (and how to train your brain to reach it) • Why the 10,000-hour rule is incomplete—the "deep practice" feedback loop that builds myelin and creates mastery • The "bumper bowling" principle—how removing fear of failure unlocks creative genius • Alex Honnold's "Free Solo" mindset—why elite performers visualize disasters, not just success • The TAP trigger for daily flow—Trust, Acceptance, and Presence as the gateway to effortless performance • The Flow Code formula—combining visualization, body scanning, and bilateral tapping to down-regulate your nervous system • Flow beyond athletics—how to access the zone for creative work, presentations, and high-stakes moments Here's what separates amateurs from world-class: amateurs wait for inspiration. Masters train their nervous systems to produce flow on command. If you've ever experienced a moment where everything clicked and wondered why you can't recreate it—this episode decodes the exact neural pathway to get back there.

  • Why Your Home Is Quietly Draining Your Energy (And How to Restore Health) | ft. Robby Besner Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #446

Use code DRG for 20% OFF everything at https://rhonutrition.com/discount/DRG → JASPR | For an exclusive offer go to jaspr.co/DRG and get $200 OFF for a limited time. Episode Description Your home might be the hidden cause of your chronic fatigue, brain fog, and health decline. The invisible toxins saturating modern living spaces don't just make you tired—they systematically shut down your body's ability to heal. Robby Besner, pioneer of infrared therapy technology and founder of Therasage, spent decades researching how environmental toxins accumulate in your tissues—and more importantly, how to safely eliminate them when your body's natural detox pathways are overwhelmed. This isn't about expensive air purifiers or going full biohacking compound. This is the science of toxic burden—why modern homes expose you to chemicals your grandmother never encountered, and how your body's detoxification system collapses under constant assault from EMFs, mold, heavy metals, and synthetic materials off-gassing in every room. Robby reveals the biological mechanism behind chronic toxic overload and introduces practical protocols for restoring your home environment without moving to a cabin in the woods. Discover: • Why conventional saunas can make toxic burden worse—and the infrared wavelength that actually mobilizes stored toxins • The "Trojan Horse" effect: how everyday products deliver hormone disruptors directly into your bloodstream • EMF exposure's impact on mitochondrial function—and why your fatigue won't resolve without addressing it • The hidden mold problem in modern construction creating systemic inflammation • Why your lymphatic system needs mechanical support to clear environmental toxins • Heavy metal accumulation from water, food, and air—the chelation protocols that actually work • The detox hierarchy: which toxins to address first when your body is overwhelmed • Sleep environment optimization—the bedroom factors silently degrading recovery every night • Why "detox reactions" mean your protocol is working (and how to manage them safely) • Building resilience: supporting your body's natural detox pathways before they collapse Here's the truth: You can't supplement your way out of a toxic home. Until you identify the environmental factors creating constant low-grade poisoning, your body will stay in survival mode—exhausted, inflamed, and unable to heal, no matter how clean you eat or how much you sleep. If you've tried every protocol, eliminated every food group, and still feel like you're operating at 60%—this episode reveals the environmental factors your functional medicine doctor might be missing.

  • Doctor Reveals 5 Supplements Everyone Needs for Long Term Health | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G #445
    Dec 25 2025
    Get My Brand Masterlist⁠ https//drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Get Best 5 Supplements Guide https://drchristiangonzalez.com/5-supplements-pdf-request-form/ Episode Description You trust that expensive fish oil is molecularly distilled and free from mercury. You believe your magnesium is actually absorbed. You assume your creatine is pure pharmaceutical-grade powder. But can these brands prove it—or are you swallowing contaminated, oxidized, low-potency supplements that do more harm than good? Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated the supplement industry with one critical question: can the most popular longevity supplements prove they're free from heavy metals, microplastics, and oxidation through third-party testing and Certificates of Analysis (COAs)? The shocking reality? Most can't—or won't—provide basic proof of purity. You're expected to trust your mitochondria, brain health, and long-term performance to manufacturers who refuse transparency about what's actually in the bottle. The hidden dangers lurking in "premium" supplements: • Fish oils contaminated with mercury, lead, microplastics, and oxidized rancid fats that trigger inflammation instead of reducing it • Magnesium oxide marketed as "magnesium" with 4% absorption—meaning you're literally flushing your money down the toilet • Creatine cut with heavy metals, banned substances, and fillers that negate performance benefits and contaminate your system • Vitamin D formulated in seed oils and synthetic carriers that interfere with absorption and create inflammatory byproducts • Fiber supplements loaded with inulin blends and maltodextrin that spike blood sugar and cause severe digestive distress • Zero verification of potency claims—dosages listed on labels that have no relationship to what third-party testing reveals inside • Supplements stored in conditions that degrade active ingredients months before expiration dates In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez reveals: • The 5 most studied supplements for longevity, brain power, and energy—and exactly how to buy the cleanest versions • Why Omega-3 fish oils are either your greatest longevity tool or a toxic inflammatory bomb depending on purity testing • The one form of magnesium that actually works (and the three forms that are complete scams stealing your money) • How creatine monohydrate boosts ATP in your muscles AND brain—but only if it passes strict third-party certification • Why Vitamin D without K2 can calcify your arteries while you think you're "optimizing" your health • The soluble fiber that lowers all-cause mortality by 11%—and why most fiber supplements use the wrong type • Exact evidence-based doses, timing strategies, and quality markers so you never waste money on fairy dust formulas again • The certifications that actually matter: IFOS, NSF, Informed Sport, Creapure, and why "GMP certified" means nothing • How to read COAs and spot red flags in oxidation scores, heavy metal panels, and microplastic screening This episode goes beyond basic supplementation—it's about understanding that your cellular membranes, mitochondrial function, and long-term disease prevention depend on purity, not marketing. It's about demanding proof before putting daily supplements into your body, and recognizing that the supplement industry profits from your trust, not your health outcomes. The supplement industry doesn't want you asking for COAs. But your brain, heart, and longevity depend on it.
