Summary

Hey Heal Squad! We’ve got a jam-packed chatshow for you today with Maria and our favorite fitness and health coach, Christina Gomes! You’re in luck because we’re diving into easy, delicious, and gut-friendly meal prep ideas that actually stick. Christina shares her go-to staples like protein-packed quiche, chocolate avocado mousse, and banana protein bread (yes, it tastes as good as it sounds!) all designed to make your life simpler while keeping you fueled. She also reveals why fermented foods will upgrade your digestion, how to make them the easy way, and why your body might actually be craving vinegar. PLUS, Maria and Christina get real about simplifying life, ditching nail polish and beauty overload, redefining success after health challenges, and why freedom and peace matter more than chasing trends. It’s equal parts practical health hacks, lifestyle wisdom, and good laughs, the perfect inspiration to step into the week with ease and energy.
