Why Nervous System Regulation Is the Missing Link in Mental Health with Dr. Christian Gonzales

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.
