Guest segment: Peter Crone delivers one of the most informative podcast episodes yet. He explains complex concepts in simplistic and heartfelt ways. We begin to understand that so many of us are locked in an invisible cage of subconsciously sponsored behaviors.

An incredible interview for everyone to better their lives from.

Peter works with everyone from world-class athletes to stay-at-home parents to redesign the subconscious mind. We exist within limiting mental constructs that dictate our thoughts, feelings, actions, and the results we experience. Peter helps people and groups step outside of the world as they know it by identifying mental constructs that have been holding them back. Peter’s work explores the fundamental issues that affect us all to foster a deeper understanding of our common humanity. Peter is a writer, speaker, and thought leader in human awakening and potential.  Caminero, A., Meisel, M., Jabri, B. et al. Mechanisms by which gut microorganisms influence food sensitivities.

#45 - Healthy Beds, Mattress Reviews, & Guest Tyler Jean | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G

Knowledge bomb: Toxic beds and what to look for in buying a new one

Special guest: Tyler is a Naturopathic doctoral candidate whose journey in medicine began in college when he fell in love with food. Tyler believes that physicians have the unique opportunity to be a teacher and a mentor that encourages others to take self-responsibility for their health and empower their patients and the general public with the knowledge necessary for living a healthy, happy, and sustainable lifestyle. Tyler believes that we, as a society, are starting to move toward a more preventative and integrative approach to medicine. With the rise in chronic disease and the increased patient frustration from minimal treatment options, now, more than ever, people are starting to get second opinions from alternative medicine practitioners.  While it can be easy to get caught up in the latest fads and dietary trends, Tyler believes that the food we eat creates the foundation for life. When it comes to food choices, his golden principle is this: Eat nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods, that celebrate plant diversity, emphasize quality, and encourages a balanced, adequate, and varied diet. By making this simple shift, you can make a profound impact on your health and vitality. Tyler joins the show to share his expansive knowledge on inflammation. He explains how it is a root cause too many diseases and how to identify the factors driving it.

Through his passion with functional foods he speaks of the top foods to heal from chronic inflammation as well as what else contributes to blocking us from fully healing.

#38 - Airline Flights Knowledge Bomb & Special Guest Tim Coleman | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G

Knowledge bomb: How to protect your health while flying.  

Special guest: Tim Coleman stops by for one of the most pivotal interviews yet. Tim speaks about bodily integration of trauma being the #1 thing to address for true health. He teaches us how the brain/ego tries to put logic behind a trauma without letting the body integrate it as nature intended. In the animal world we see their instinctual breathing and shaking to release acute trauma. Tim speaks how at a young age we are taught to think rather than feel which prevents our instinctual mechanism of trauma integration. Mind blowing interview.  

Formerly a fitness coach for over 7 years, Tim educated clients on how their nutrition, fitness regimens and lifestyle played a pivotal role in achieving the life they desired. This career path lead him to becoming a Quantum Energetics & EFT practitioner and health coach for over a decade now, Tim transferred his focus from his clients physical state to their emotional.  

He’s had the opportunity to help his clients get to the root cause of their stress, process their trauma, and overcome the ailments that have developed as a result of emotional clutter.  The strategies and methods that he applies to his clients helps them overcome addictions, self sabotage, eliminate phobias, and finally live the life congruent to one they resonate with.
