Summary

Hey Heal Squad! We’re kicking off an incredible two-part conversation with Hannah Brown! You might know her from The Bachelorette, DWTS, and Special Forces, but today, she’s opening up in a way you’ve never seen before. For the first time, Hannah shares her personal journey of healing from chronic inflammation, anxiety, PCOS, and a mysterious autoimmune rollercoaster that left her in pain, confused, and feeling broken. She takes us through the real story behind her transformation—from not being able to walk up stairs to winning Special Forces and reclaiming her power. She also opens up about working with Dr. Daniel Amen, receiving a double uterus diagnosis, and how she’s navigating fertility and womanhood on her own terms. This episode is for anyone who’s felt dismissed, burned out, or “not enough”—because Hannah proves healing is messy, personal, and so worth it. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Stress Is a Silent Saboteur: Hannah shares how living in constant survival mode led to burnout, inflammation, and deep fatigue—reminding us that even success can mask suffering when we’re disconnected from our body’s signals. You Can’t Heal What You Don’t Acknowledge: From inflammation and gut issues to emotional exhaustion, Hannah reveals how naming the pain and doing the inner work is what allowed her to begin true physical healing. Healing Begins With Self-Trust: Working with experts like Dr. Daniel Amen helped Hannah reconnect with her intuition—but the real transformation began when she gave herself permission to trust her own process. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD HANNAH BROWN RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahbrown/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hannahbrown/featured TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hannahkbrown?lang=en Pre-Order Her Book Now! https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hannah-brown/the-four-engagement-rings-of-sybil-rain/9781538756805/ ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
