Summary

Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our incredible conversation with Dr. Christopher Motley, we’re diving deeper into the hidden wisdom of the body and the overlooked signals it’s constantly sending us. From ruptured ulcers linked to emotional stress to the healing power of acupressure and organ communication, this episode is packed with ancient practices and practical insights. Maria shares her own experiences using acupressure to relieve symptoms instantly, and Dr. Motley breaks down how organs like the spleen, liver, and bladder reveal dysfunction through symptoms like cracked heels, hip pain, constipation, and more.. PLUS, we explore how trauma is stored in your connective tissue (yup, emotional detox is real!), how environmental stressors like EMFs affect your ability to heal, and why supporting your thyroid, adrenals, and mitochondria is critical for long-term wellness. If you’ve been chasing symptoms and are ready to finally understand the root of your chronic health issues, tune in and take your healing into your own hands! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Drainage before detox. If your lymphatic and fascia systems are congested, your body can’t eliminate toxins like mold, metals, or viruses, no matter how many supplements you take. True healing starts with clearing the exit pathways. Your organs are always listening. Both Dr. Motley and Maria share how speaking directly to their organs during prayer or meditation brought powerful healing shifts… showing the potential of organ communication in Chinese medicine. Acupressure delivers real-time results. From dry lips to back pain and even digestive issues, Maria shares firsthand how pressing specific points taught by her acupuncturist delivered instant relief (sometimes in just one session!) -- 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 GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram Website Podcast Dr. Motley’s Protocols 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.
