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. #pepsi #health #wellness  Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Pepsi Acquires Siete Foods for $1.2 Billion 00:00:15 - Overview of Health Food Company Acquisitions 00:00:47 - Introduction to Siete Chips and Their Allergen-Free Appeal 00:01:24 - Implications of Pepsi's Acquisition of Siete Chips 00:02:05 - Companies That Changed Products After Being Acquired 00:02:37 - Understanding Certificates of Analysis 00:03:22 - Notable Acquisitions: Annie's, Kashi, and Applegate Farms 00:04:49 - The Controversy of Burt's Bees Acquisition 00:05:05 - Garden of Life's Acquisition by Nestlé 00:08:33 - Overview of Other Notable Acquisitions in the Health Food Sector 00:09:18 - Bare Snacks Acquisition by Pepsi 00:09:58 - Changes in Whole Foods Post-Amazon Acquisition 00:10:16 - Ethical Concerns with Acquired Brands 00:11:03 - The Impact of Nestlé on Acquired Companies 00:12:04 - Kashi's Formula Changes After Kellogg's Acquisition 00:13:02 - Odwalla's Decline Post-Coca Cola Acquisition 00:13:37 - Annie's Products and Subtle Changes in Quality 00:14:54 - Applegate Farms and Hormel's Influence 00:15:40 - Garden of Life's Shift After Nestlé Acquisition 00:16:47 - Honest Tea's Changes Under Coca Cola 00:17:20 - Other Supplement Brands Affected by Acquisitions 00:18:51 - Pharmaceutical Companies Buying Organic Brands 00:19:19 - Reasons Behind Small Companies Selling Out 00:19:42 - Overview of Company Acquisitions in Health Food 00:20:09 - The Process of Companies Buying Out Smaller Brands 00:20:32 - Ethical Considerations When Supporting Acquired Brands 00:21:11 - Personal Values and Company Ethics 00:22:06 - Different Perspectives on Supporting Acquired Brands 00:22:36 - Alternatives to Purchased Products 00:23:10 - Monitoring Ingredient Changes After Acquisition 00:24:27 - Importance of Trust in Product Quality 00:25:30 - Understanding Certificates of Analysis (COA) 00:27:25 - Interpreting Heavy Metal Levels in Products 00:29:04 - Proposition 65 and Heavy Metal Standards 00:29:57 - Conclusion and Thank You === Thank you to our sponsors!  BON CHARGE Click here and use code DRG for 15% off storewide!

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. #rootcanals #dentist #teeth Dr. Sonia Chopra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsoniachopra/ Website: www.drsoniachopra.com Become your own advocate: https://drsoniachopra.com/endodontic-patient-course/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction: Root canals can be done safely 1:49 - Dr. Chopra's background and importance of oral health 3:36 - The controversy around root canals 5:41 - Issues with dental education on root canals 8:28 - What makes a bad vs. good root canal 12:46 - What happens when canals are missed during a root canal 15:36 - How long infections can persist after a bad root canal 18:14 - Finding a qualified endodontist for root canals 21:48 - Why extracting teeth isn't always better than root canals 25:41 - Addressing concerns about "dead teeth" after root canals 28:41 - Explaining cavitations in the jaw 31:54 - Differences between periodontal and endodontic disease 35:18 - Best practices for oral hygiene and preventing root canals 41:14 - Electric vs. manual toothbrushes 43:11 - Water flossing vs. regular flossing 44:10 - Importance of regular dental visits and consistent care 49:55 - How eating habits affect oral health 52:02 - Final thoughts on dental care === Thank You To Our Sponsors!

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.

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.

In this episode Dr. G discusses the lymphatic system's vital role in maintaining health and its impact on various bodily functions. The lymphatic system, crucial in naturopathic medicine, consists of lymphatic vessels, nodes, and associated organs that work together to support immune function, waste removal, and digestion.

Are you aware of the hidden dangers in tampons? This video delves into the health risks associated with tampon use, focusing on toxic heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium. You'll learn about the health risks from these metals, how vaginal absorption affects your health, and why organic labels might not guarantee safety. Key findings reveal detectable levels of heavy metals in all tested tampons, with non-organic ones showing higher lead concentrations and organic ones having more arsenic. Contamination can come from materials, water, air, soil, and manufacturing processes. Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity include neurological issues, irritability, cognitive decline, gastrointestinal problems, and anemia from lead; memory loss, mood swings, and kidney issues from mercury; and skin problems, gastrointestinal distress, and cardiovascular issues from arsenic. For safer options, consider medical-grade silicone menstrual cups, research brands for manufacturing transparency, and ask about heavy metal testing and safety standards.

In recent headlines, alarming reports have surfaced regarding the presence of a cancer-causing chemical, benzene, in popular acne treatment products from well-known brands like Proactiv, Clearasil, Clinique, and others. But amidst the flurry of news, confusion reigns supreme. Should you rush to rid your bathroom shelves of these skincare essentials, or is there more to the story? Join Dr. Christian Gonzalez on the latest episode of Heal Thy Self as we dissect the truth behind benzene in acne products. As major publications such as CNN, TIME, and USA Today amplify the concerns, it's crucial to understand the scope of this issue. Benzene, a known carcinogen, has infiltrated various consumer products over the years, from sunscreens to hand sanitizers and now acne treatments. With its presence in plastics, solvents, and even vehicle exhaust, benzene poses significant health risks upon exposure. Delving deeper into the problem, Dr. Christian Gonzalez explore the reasons why benzene is a cause for concern. Acute exposure to this chemical can lead to a range of adverse effects, including drowsiness, headaches, and respiratory irritation. Furthermore, chronic exposure has been linked to severe health conditions such as leukemia and blood disorders, highlighting the urgent need for vigilance. Enter Valisure, an independent laboratory renowned for its meticulous scrutiny of healthcare products. Their recent investigation into acne products containing benzoyl peroxide—a topical antiseptic—revealed alarming findings. Under elevated temperatures, these products produced benzene at levels exceeding FDA concentrations by a staggering 800 times. Notably, a test conducted on Proactiv acne products stored in a hot environment yielded benzene levels surpassing EPA regulations by over 1200 times. So, where does this leave consumers? With a call to action. Advocate for steering clear of acne care products containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and adapalene. Instead, opt for gentler alternatives and prioritize EWG verified personal care products. Ultimately, acne treatment extends beyond skincare; it's about fostering internal well-being. Tune in to Heal Thy Self as Dr. Christian Gonzalez navigate the complexities of benzene in acne products, empowering you to make informed choices for your health and skincare regimen. Show Notes: Understanding the prevalence of benzene in consumer products and its health implications. Examining Valisure's investigation into benzene contamination in acne products.

Are you a homeowner or have you been renting a home for over a decade? If so, this week's episode is a must-listen. Join us as we uncover a hidden danger lurking in many homes—one that could pose a significant risk of cancer. In this episode of HTS, Dr. Christian Gonzalez shine a spotlight on radon, a silent intruder present in 1 in 15 homes. Despite its prevalence, it's a topic often overlooked in discussions about health and safety. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, emerges from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It's invisible, odorless, and tasteless, making detection without proper equipment nearly impossible. Shockingly, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, following closely behind smoking. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year are linked to radon exposure. But radon knows no borders. Elevated levels have been detected in homes worldwide, highlighting its universal threat to health. Detecting and Mitigating Radon: Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect your loved ones. The first crucial step? Get a radon test. Short-term and long-term tests are available, providing essential insights into your home's radon levels. Taking Action: If test results reveal elevated radon levels, don't panic. Mitigation systems can effectively reduce radon levels by up to 99%. Proper installation and continuous monitoring are key to ensuring your home remains a safe haven. Join us as we delve into the world of radon, arming you with the knowledge needed to safeguard your home and loved ones from this hidden danger. === Thank you to our sponsors!

With headlines buzzing about the connection between HPV and throat cancer, it's essential to separate fact from fiction.

Raising kids is no easy feat, but what if there was a better way that set up both you and your child for success?  This week Dr. G dives into common parenting styles, how childhood trauma plays a role in parenting, and which, if any theory you should be paying attention to raise an emotionally balanced child.  Parenting theories discussed in this episode: Attachment Theory: Focuses on infant-caregiver bonding shaping development Behaviorism: Uses rewards and consequences to encourage/discourage behaviors Cognitive Development Theory: Kids construct mental models of the world through experiences.  Social Learning Theory: Kids observe and imitate attitudes and behaviors Ecological Systems Theory: Child development is influenced by broader social and environmental factors.  Authoritative Parenting: High responsiveness with clear boundaries and expectations from parents. Montessori Method: Child-led learning by encouraging independence and respect for a child's natural psychological development.

Get bi-weekly emotional healing insights and ways to connect with the community on the ELM newsletter! Join here: https://www.elm.health/newsletter Topics: - Can repressed emotions cause physical, chronic pain? ○ Yes - emotions cause pain. Pain actually is an emotion. ○ It's a negative emotion. It's associated with uncertainty, which brings on fear. ● We end up in this vicious cycle of “if it makes me feel uncomfortable, I'm going to stop doing it.” ○ The more we can understand the reasons why things are uncomfortable, the more we can embrace things that are uncomfortable so that they can make us better people. ○ Oftentimes we deal with chronic pain because we're withdrawn from the things we need to do simply because those things are uncomfortable. ● So many Americans are on opioids.. we are conditioned from an early age to withdraw from pain ○ Medication mutes the pain. ● Emotional pain is a nervous system thing. ● Pain is a negative emotional response that's directly tied to uncertainty about something that we're feeling. ○ The uncertainty about what’s happening to us causes more pain - all coming from neurological response to physical sensation. ● The first step to eliminating chronic pain is to adopt the belief that you can eliminate your chronic pain. ○ The number one thing that you need to have is the belief that you can change, the belief that you can live a better life. ○ Start to craft the life that you want to live instead of holding back the tears which holds back the emotion, which holds back the change. ● Think about why you're saying sorry before you say sorry next time. ○ People often apologize for being themselves. ○ As soon as you realize you have nobody to apologize to you, life changes. ● An injury is a decision that I can't do something. ○ Irritation is the moment that we start to feel something. ○ Pain is the negative emotional response to that irritation. ○ I'm in pain and I want to change something. ○ Injury is the decision that I can't. ● People come in and say “I have a back injury. I have an ankle injury.” That's interesting because you walked in here your ankles working, your back is working. You're able to do all the things.
