Summary

Hey Heal Squad! Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that our bodies are speaking to us, the only catch is… only if we know how to listen. Maria and Dr. Alison dive into a fascinating new cancer breakthrough that uses near-infrared light to dissolve tumors without chemo or surgery, and what it tells us about the role of light in healing every part of the body. They unpack how light exposure, cholesterol levels, and hormone balance are deeply connected, and why many of us are getting the wrong message about “high cholesterol.” You’ll learn why sunlight is more than just vitamin D, and how it actually fuels your body’s hormone production and cellular repair. PLUS, Maria shares the story behind a lung cancer diagnosis that started with a fingernail change, and why your hands might be revealing more about your health than you think. From nail polish to nail shape to the light you’re absorbing (or not), these small signs could be your body’s biggest red flags… you don’t want to miss 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist HEADLINES & RESOURCES: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14803131/cancer-breakthrough-doctors-zap-tumors-without-chemo.html https://people.com/fingernails-clue-lung-cancer-symptoms-11736846 https://people.com/chiropractor-tears-neck-artery-cracking-11750504 https://people.com/bindi-irwin-misses-steve-irwin-gala-medical-emergency-11732642 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.
