What if chronic illness, trauma, and burnout are your body’s way of communicating—not failing?
Join Julie Ryan and holistic physician Christian Gonzalez (Dr. G) as they explore nervous system regulation, trauma stored in the body, emotional roots of disease, and mind-body healing beyond conventional medicine. Inspired by the loss of his mother to cancer during his first year of medical school, Dr. G shares how his journey led him beyond conventional medicine to uncover the deeper drivers of chronic illness—emotional dysregulation, nervous system imbalance, trauma, and environmental toxins.
This episode dives deep into the body’s hidden language, with moving real-life stories that reveal how unresolved emotions are stored in the fascia and how releasing them can unlock profound healing. From an infertility case that resolved after a single trauma-release session to the heartbreaking intersection of mold exposure, stress, and cancer, Julie and Dr. G explore why shame may be the “second-to-last boss” in healing—and how ancient Chinese medicine aligns with modern clinical insight.
You’ll also walk away with grounded, practical tools for daily life, including Dr. G’s personal rituals for nervous system regulation, myofascial release, grounding, and energetic protection. Together, they explore curiosity as a gateway from fear to empowerment, why “meditating into the body” matters, and how aligning with circadian rhythms can restore balance. The conversation closes with a soul-stirring reflection on why we incarnate at all—inviting you to step into your healing journey with awareness, courage, and joy.

Episode Chapters:
(0:02:00) – The Myth of Giving Away Your Power
People give away their healing power to practitioners. There’s a power within us that can emerge to bring clarity to what we need.
(0:04:00) – Miracles: The Infertility Story
A woman infertile for three years came for one session. By releasing anger stored in her womb from a sexual boundary being crossed in college, she became pregnant two months later.
(0:09:00) – The Emotional Component Behind Every Illness
There is always an emotional component behind any medical condition. We can fix body parts all day long, but if the emotional component remains, what’s the point?
(0:11:00) – Why Healthy People Get Cancer
Dr. G. was humbled when healthy, fit patients developed cancer. Emotional dysregulation causes nervous system dysregulation, which causes hormonal and immune system problems.
(0:14:00) – The Whiteboard Moment: Stress and Toxins
In 2015, Dr. G. identified two overlooked cancer causes: emotional repression/stress and environmental toxins. He realized stress is unexpressed energy contained in the body.
(0:17:00) – Christine’s Story: Mold and Emotional Trauma
Julie shares the story of her gynecologist who developed pancreatic cancer while living in a mold-filled home and going through a devastating divorce.
(0:22:00) – Feeling Safe in Your Body and Environment
Unexpressed emotions go into the fascia and create a frozen matrix. We must connect with our bodies daily and take contemplative time for ourselves.
(0:25:00) – The Power of Intuition in Healing
Everyone is intuitive. You just have to be present. Different emotions rest in different parts of the body, aligning with Chinese medicine.
(0:31:00) – Moving Beyond the Victim Mentality
The victim mentality keeps recycling the disease process. We must surrender, accept, and find the lesson. To die empowered is completely different than dying a victim.
(0:35:00) – The Nervous System as a Spiritual Practice
When the nervous system is quiet, awareness comes back online with the soul. We cannot receive the soul’s gifts if we’re in survival mode.
(0:40:00) – Shame: The Second to Last Boss
Shame is the thing that stops us from expressing our light. Sexual shame particularly impacts hormonal organs and is connected to breast and prostate cancer.
(0:44:00) – Rebuilding Trust with Your Body
We meditate out of our bodies but not into them. Knock on the door of the body every day. Balance power with softness—open heart and strong spine.

Dr. G. creates a protective bubble each morning, walks 2.5 miles without his phone, uses myofascial release balls, and does somatic meditation.
(0:53:00) – Circadian Rhythm and Grounding
Fall asleep and wake up at the same time. Put your feet on the ground barefoot. If it’s too cold, touch a tree—the tree is grounded.
(0:55:00) – Why We Incarnate
We incarnate to remember who we are in human form, express that remembrance, and remind others of who they are.
