Description

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Tonya sits down with Dr. Christian Gonzales (Dr. G) - naturopathic doctor, host of the Heal Thy Self podcast, and founder of the Integrative Psychology Institute - to explore the true roots of healing. Together, they discuss the nervous system as the foundation of mental and physical health, the somatic connection between emotion and disease, and why we can’t truly heal without addressing the body’s stored experiences. Dr. G shares personal stories from his mother’s cancer journey, the evolution of his medical path, and the transformative breakthroughs he’s witnessed through psychosomatic healing. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your body, release what’s been held, and remember that you were never broken to begin with.

You’ll hear about:

  • Dr. G’s integrative approach to medicine
  • The connection between repressed emotions and physical illness
  • Why somatic awareness is key to lasting healing
  • How the nervous system shapes our relationships and daily behavior
  • Practical tools to feel and process emotions safely
  • The vision behind the Integrative Psychology Institute and a new model of therapy
