Summary

This episode is brought to you by Timeline, Strong Coffee Company, Caldera Lab, and LMNT.

What if the key to unlocking lasting health isn’t in another supplement, diet, or biohack—but in your nervous system? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Christian Gonzalez, ND (naturopathic doctor and somatic healing expert) returns to Ever Forward Radio to break down the science and spirituality of nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and somatic practices.

We explore how trauma shapes identity, why emotions get trapped in the body, and how reconnecting with your somatic experience can unlock healing from chronic illness, emotional blocks, and broken relationships. Whether you’re struggling with stress, unresolved trauma, or simply want to deepen your connection with your body, this episode offers practical tools and profound insights to help you move ever forward with authenticity, love, and purpose.
