We are back for part two of our special three-part holiday series! This week, Taryn takes over the host chair to introduce her favorite holiday episode from the archives. Taryn chose Episode 388: The 2024 Holiday Hosting Special, a sentimental favorite because it was recorded right at her own dining room table in her new home. In this cozy and practical conversation, the ladies discuss navigating family food traditions (like Taryn's pierogies vs. her husband's healthy salads), Liz's secret "Winter Berry Pie" recipe, and the ultimate timeline for stress-free hosting. Quick Decorating & Hosting Takeaways: The "Martha" Method: Caroline shares her system for stress-free hosting: create a master list 1-2 weeks in advance and assign every single task (even "fill ice trays") to a specific day so you never have to do everything at once. Focus on the Big Two: If you are low on energy for decorating, Taryn and the team suggest focusing only on a pre-lit Christmas tree and a great wreath for the front door. If you nail those two spots, you can let the rest of the house go. Shop Estate Sales: For unique, sustainable gifts, skip the mall and check out local estate sales (using apps like EstateSales.net) to find special items like silver trays, crystal, or vintage books.

Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Get Probiotics Guide https://drchristiangonzalez.com/probiotic-pdf-request-form/ Episode Description You trust the probiotic label that says "clinically studied strains" and "supports gut health." But a shocking new investigation reveals most brands can't prove it. Dr. Christian Gonzalez reached out to 56 of the biggest probiotic companies—including Seed, VSL#3, Garden of Life, Ritual, and Thorne—with one simple request: show proof your strains survive stomach acid, maintain potency through expiration, and are tested for heavy metals, yeast, and mold contamination through Certificates of Analysis (COAs). The results? Fifty-three brands disappeared, dodged questions, or flat-out refused to respond. Only THREE companies could stand behind their claims with real data. This isn't about being picky—it's about protecting your gut microbiome, immune system, and mental health from paying premium prices for mystery powders. When you consume contaminated or ineffective probiotics daily, you're wasting money on dead bacteria that never colonize your gut—or worse, introducing toxins that worsen bloating, immune stress, and digestive dysfunction. The hidden problems lurking in popular probiotic supplements: • Dead on arrival strains that can't survive stomach acid or bile—rendering them completely useless before reaching your intestines • CFU deception: potency guaranteed only at manufacturing, not expiration—meaning you're getting a fraction of what's promised • Heavy metal contamination including lead, arsenic, and cadmium that accumulate in your system and disrupt gut healing • Mold, yeast, and bacterial contamination from compromised sourcing and manufacturing that can trigger inflammation and immune reactions • Unverified strain claims with zero genetic testing to prove what's actually in the capsule matches the label • Proprietary blends designed to hide inferior ingredients and avoid accountability for specific strain efficacy In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez exposes the 2025 Probiotic Purity Audit and reveals: • The full list of 56 brands tested—and which major names refused to respond or failed safety and efficacy standards • The ONLY 3 probiotic brands that passed with radical transparency, clean COAs, survivability data, and verified potency at expiration • The $70+ billion marketing manipulation behind "clinically studied" and "gut health support" claims that mean nothing without third-party verification • Strain specificity: why this is the only metric that matters for true gut colonization and therapeutic benefit • How contaminated probiotics actively harm your microbiome, worsen digestive symptoms, and waste your money on expensive filler • The gut-brain axis disruption, immune dysfunction, and inflammatory cascade triggered by low-quality probiotic supplementation This episode goes beyond gut health—it's about understanding that your microbiome controls everything from mood and immunity to hormone balance and disease prevention. It's about taking back control of what colonizes your body every single day, and demanding transparency from an industry built on marketing hype, not real science. The probiotic industry doesn't want you asking these questions. But your gut health depends on it.

Episode 92: Joe Lovano. Joe Lovano is one of the greatest musicians of all time. A Grammy-winning saxophonist who's been on the cover of DownBeat magazine multiple times (as well as many others), a Blue Note Records legend with 25 releases, a Berklee alum, and he holds the Gary Burton Chair in Jazz Performance at Berklee College of Music, which he's had since 2001. He also happens to be my cousin and one of the biggest inspirations and mentors in my life. This was our first time ever doing something like this together. A 3-hour deep dive interview that covers (nearly) his entire career. We go into our family history, growing up in Cleveland, our Sicilian roots, his father Tony “Big T” Lovano, and how that shaped his sound and spirit. We talk about his time with Elvin Jones, Jack DeJohnette, John Scofield, Charlie Haden, Esperanza Spalding, Michael Brecker, McCoy Tyner, Paul Motian, Bill Frisell, Hank Jones, Dave Holland, Joshua Redman, Al Foster, and many more. Joe shares lessons from decades of leading bands, developing tone, mentoring young players, and living a full creative life with his wife of 50 years, Judi Silvano. Joe is one of the greatest musicians alive, a music historian, and an incredible educator and mentor.
