Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! Have you ever wondered how acupuncture really works, or if those tiny needles (or even just pressure points!) can really heal things like vertigo, anxiety, or chronic pain? This week, Maria sits down with her personal acupuncturist, Anthony DiSalvo, a California Board-Certified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to break it all down. Anthony explains all the secrets of what’s really happening when you stimulate certain points on the body and why you don’t even need needles to start feeling better. (Yep, he walks Maria through real-time acupressure points for vertigo, stress, and even digestion!) PLUS, they dive into the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, how it views energy, emotions, and the body’s natural ability to heal, and why modern medicine may be missing the bigger picture. You’ll learn why balance is everything, how to move “stuck” energy, and how simple touch and breath can reset your entire system. This conversation will open your mind (and your meridians). Tune in!! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Acupressure can be just as powerful as acupuncture. You don’t always need needles to heal, using simple pressure points throughout the day can move stuck energy, ease pain, and calm your nervous system naturally. Your breath directs your body’s energy. When you breathe intentionally into areas that feel tense or uncomfortable, you’re literally telling your body where to send healing and blood flow Balance is the foundation of true health. Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that prevention is more powerful than treatment, so daily self-care and energy balancing keep your system strong long before illness shows up. -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!
