Summary

Have you ever looked at your lab results and thought… wait, what does that even mean? Well, you’re in luck because in today’s episode, we’re diving into some major truths about cholesterol, blood pressure, and why your lab results might not be telling you the full story. Maria and Dr. Allison are back (outside, of course!), and breaking down what your body is really trying to say through those “off” numbers, and why the default answer doesn’t always need to be a statin. We talk about how sunlight, circadian rhythm, and even your lighting at work can drastically affect your health, your hormones, your cholesterol levels, and your entire nervous system. This conversation is about learning to read your body’s signals differently and realizing that your environment might be the thing holding your healing back. We share simple, powerful ways to shift that, without needing to overhaul your life. Let’s clear the noise, tune in to the body, and take our power back… one sunrise at a time! -- 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://x.com/valerieanne1970/status/1937042212472193461?s=48&t=X9m9bZdA4Wv4EPEUZZKZrg https://www.instagram.com/p/DL4r12EsNIO/?hl=en 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.
