Summary

Hey Heal Squad! We’re continuing our powerful conversation with Dr. Will Cole, functional medicine expert and bestselling author, who’s here to break down one of the biggest root causes of chronic illness: inflammation… Dr. Cole explains how unresolved trauma, hidden food sensitivities, and lifestyle stressors all contribute to an inflammatory response that impacts your gut, brain, hormones, and mood. He shares exactly how to recognize the signs, reverse the damage, and get your vitality back. PLUS, we dive into the mental side of healing—how perfectionism, stress, and shame around food can keep you stuck in a survival state. He offers a grounded, compassionate approach to detoxing, not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. If you’re tired of short-term fixes and want real, lasting healing, you’ll want to tune into this one! -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox DR WILL COLE RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwillcole/?hl=en Website: https://drwillcole.com/ ‘Gut Feelings’ Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-19717624 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.

0:00.0	Okay, guys, I know it's only June, but I think it's never too early to get ahead with back-to-school
0:04.8	shopping. And Macy's has one of the best kids' section. Trust me, I recently picked up some really
0:10.1	cute dresses and clothes for Athena. She's growing way too fast. I feel like I'm always buying
0:14.9	clothes. But I'm thankful I can always count on Macy's for the cutest stuff, whether it's little jeans from Levi's or Tommy Hillfigure
0:21.7	outfits, whatever it is. Here's a tip, buy a size up and just save them until September. Trust me,
0:26.5	you'll be glad you got ahead of everyone else. So shop all things back to school in store or at
0:30.3	Macy's.com. I'm on a journey to heal and get better in all areas of life, and I want to do it with you.
0:39.0	Welcome to Heal Squad by Maria Menounos, where we improve and heal all parts of our lives, most importantly, our health.
0:46.5	Heel Squad by Maria Menuno's, your life improvement series starts now.
0:51.2	I think that it's about figuring out what you need, getting it, and figuring out where
0:57.5	you're going to implement it into your schedule. So like I do breathwork in the car. When I'm in
1:02.9	the car, I know that's my opportunity to breathe in for hold for like six and then let out
1:07.8	four. I mean, everyone has a different number. So I just kind of come up with a rhythm. And I know that in the car, I can do that. And it's a really great time to do it because you don't want to be stressed with road rage and all the craziness that goes on there. But you can figure out how to put things into your day. One of the new things that I've been going back to was what my naturopath had put me on, which was being up at sunrise and getting that first light and how important that is for your circadian rhythm.
1:34.8	So this morning we had an early shoot and I said, oh gosh, I got to schedule my alarm.
1:40.9	I'm like, wait, I don't have to schedule my alarm.
1:42.4	My body wakes up at 6 a.m. now to go get that
1:45.2	morning sunrise. And what's been amazing is it's hard like anything else the first couple of days.
1:52.2	You want to keep sleeping. But once you do it, now you're up early. You've now added time to your day.
1:58.7	We all see we don't have enough time in the day. But now I can slowly focus on how I'm going to get my supplements in. I make my breakfast.
2:06.7	I have this very nice, peaceful routine that has been wonderful because I'm waking up early,
2:13.7	but I'm also getting that sunlight, which is making me sleep like a baby. My sleep
2:20.1	scores on my sleep number bed are amazing now. And I'm not waking up in the middle of the night.
