Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! Maria’s back from her healing trip to the Dominican Republic—and she’s got a major update that could shift how you think about your health, your zip code… and even your morning coffee. In this week’s episode, Maria and Dr. Alison unpack the shocking truth about how your environment impacts everything from vitamin D production to autoimmunity. After spending months in Connecticut and time in the DR, Maria shares the wild health changes she noticed (including her blood sugar and energy levels) just from getting out of L.A.—plus, the return of a mystery throat symptom she now suspects was linked to air pollution. PLUS, Maria opens up about her emotional birthday moment with Athena, and how she’s redefining healing to include joy, play, and the power of being present with the people you love. This one is packed with lightbulb moments (pun intended).
