The Cookware That's Secretly Poisoning Your Food Not all cookware is created equal. After months of investigating 21 major cookware brands, Dr. Christian Gonzalez uncovered a truth the industry doesn't want you to know: only one passed his strict standards for safety, transparency, and purity. Most companies, including billion-dollar icons like Le Creuset, Caraway, All-Clad, HexClad, and GreenPan - either ignored requests for safety data, relied on toxic PFAs coatings, or hid behind influencer marketing. In this episode, Dr. G exposes which brands are quietly contaminating your food, the dangerous materials to avoid, and how to choose cookware that protects your brain, hormones, and nervous system.

The New England Patriots are back on top. After a 25-16 victory over the New Orleans Saints, MTP Boston hosts Michael Marcangelo and Rayshawn Buchanan dive deep into the Patriots’ return to first place in the AFC East and what it means for the rest of the 2025 NFL season. We with a heated discussion on the officiating controversy that overshadowed the win. Michael and Rayshawn call out several questionable pass interference calls that swung momentum and fueled speculation about whether sports betting and officiating integrity are becoming a real issue for the NFL. They debate whether referees are being influenced by league partnerships with betting sponsors and discuss the league’s inconsistent enforcement of penalties and discipline for players and officials. Next, the hosts turn to Drake Maye’s continued development under Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels. Maye delivered another sharp, composed performance — spreading the ball across multiple receivers, showcasing pocket awareness, and making the right reads at the right times. Rayshawn calls it Maye’s “most complete game as a pro,” while Mike highlights his leadership and poise late in drives. The offense finally looks balanced, with Maye’s growing chemistry with Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Hunter Henry giving the team multiple options in the passing game. Then comes the backfield debate. TreVeyon Henderson’s performance has been a bright spot, but questions remain about whether he’s ready to be a true workhorse back. Should the Patriots stay patient or explore trade options before the deadline? Rayshawn and Mike weigh in on potential moves; including trading Rhamondre Stevenson for Breece Hall or a defensive difference-maker like Chase Young. Rayshawn doubts the Jets would ever deal Hall to New England, but both agree the team is closer than anyone expected to legitimate contention. The conversation expands to playoff potential, with both hosts projecting that New England can reach 11 or even 12 wins if the team stays disciplined and avoids self-inflicted mistakes. They praise Vrabel’s influence on the defense, Christian Gonzalez’s return to form, and the leadership shift inside the locker room. The Patriots finally feel relevant again in the AFC playoff picture; but can they sustain it? Michael and Rayshawn also discuss NFL Week 6 predictions around the league, including upcoming matchups like Titans vs. Patriots, Rams vs. Jaguars, and Chiefs vs. Raiders. They react to the Titans’ recent coaching shake-up, preview the Patriots’ upcoming trip to Nashville, and wonder whether Vrabel’s revenge game will live up to the hype.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Episode Description: Have you ever noticed that talking about your trauma sometimes makes you feel worse? That's because talking only trims the branches—it doesn't touch the roots. In this week's episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez sits down with Anna Runkle, creator of the viral movement The Crappy Childhood Fairy, to explore why traditional talk therapy often fails to heal trauma — and what actually does. Anna shares how, after years of therapy that left her feeling worse, she discovered one simple, daily nervous system practice that changed everything. Within two weeks, her PTSD symptoms were gone — and her life was never the same. What We Cover • Hidden signs of trauma most people miss including disorientation, clumsiness, and feeling “off” for no reason • Why talking about trauma can backfire, and how to create space for real emotional processing • Emotional flashbacks explained and how preverbal trauma silently shapes adult choices in love, work, and life • Nervous system regulation techniques that bring rapid relief and help you reconnect to yourself • Anna's expressive writing method that helped her clear PTSD in two weeks • How trauma-driven decisions shape entire lives — from partners to careers — and how to break the cycle • The surprising power of simple movement for emotional regulation • A practical boundary phrase that shuts down conflict without drama • Talking ≠ healing. Over-talking about trauma can keep the nervous system dysregulated. • Regulation first, insight second. Healing begins when the body feels safe. • Old patterns drive new problems. Many adult struggles are rooted in unconscious trauma responses. • Healing can start fast. You don't need years of suffering to feel relief — the right tools can shift things quickly. • Connection is the goal. Regulating your nervous system opens the door to deeper relationships and real belonging. About the Guest Anna Runkle, known online as The Crappy Childhood Fairy, is a bestselling author, trauma educator, and creator of one of the internet's fastest-growing trauma-healing communities. Her approach to recovery focuses on nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and practical, self-guided tools for real-world transformation.

NFL Week 6 Power Rankings are here. Dave Clarke, Bobby Kelly, and Mike Marcangelo bring a full breakdown of the biggest NFL stories from Week 5 and a deep look at where every team stands heading into Week 6. They open with league headlines: Joe Flacco’s trade to the Bengals, Baker Mayfield’s rising MVP odds, and growing questions about the Chiefs and Chargers. The guys dissect how Cincinnati plans to stay afloat without Joe Burrow until late November, and whether the Browns made a mistake giving up on Flacco. Then it’s time for our teams: • The Patriots (3-2) earn a statement win against the Bills, marking Drake Maye’s biggest moment yet. Mike calls it the team’s best victory since Brady left, praising Bill Belichick’s leadership, Mike Vrabel’s defensive turnaround, and Christian Gonzalez’s return.• The Cowboys (2-2-1) knock off the Jets and look better than expected. Bobby and Dave argue over their playoff chances and how much the defense can really carry them.• The Bears (2-2) hit their bye week with questions at quarterback but optimism on defense. Dave remains patient; Mike and Bobby, not so much. They also go deep on the Cross-Off segment — officially eliminating the Saints from playoff contention after another tough loss — and debate whether the Jets, Titans, Browns, and Ravens are next. Then, it’s on to the Honorable Mentions and the BK Top 10 Power Rankings, where the Jaguars, Colts, and Buccaneers continue to rise, and the Chiefs drop out of the top 10 for the first time in years.
