Summary

Hey Heal Squad! Today is one of those conversations where the sun is finally going to make a lot of sense. We’re sitting down with Dr. Roger Seheult, a quadruple board-certified physician and the co-founder of MedCram, a platform that’s helped millions understand complex medical topics in such an easy way. And that’s exactly what happens in this episode! Dr. Seheult explains why our bodies are designed to run on light cues, how modern life is disrupting our natural circadian rhythm, and why so many of us are struggling with sleep… but more importantly, what we can actually do about it.We talk about simple shifts like getting morning sunlight as soon as you wake up, dimming lights and limiting screens at night, and creating a real wind-down routine so your body knows it’s safe to sleep. He shares how even small changes (like stepping outside during the day or reducing bright light after sunset) can start to reset your rhythm almost immediately. He also introduces something the Heal Squad has never heard before: the NEWSTART philosophy. These are 8 simple rules for health ...Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust…that you can start layering into your life one by one. And yes… we even go deeper into why spirituality, trust, and letting go can actually impact your physical health more than you think. Get ready for a lot of aha moments, Heal Squad…we’re so excited for you to hear this one. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS NEWSTART is your health blueprint: Real healing isn’t complicated, it’s foundational. Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust all work together to strengthen the body. Sunlight is not optional, it’s essential: It’s not just about vitamin D. Sunlight is a full-spectrum signal that tells your body how to function, impacting your energy, mood, immune system, and even long-term disease risk. Sleep is when your body does the real work: Your body repairs, detoxifies, and resets while you sleep, but only if your circadian rhythm is aligned. The right light during the day and less light at night is what makes deep, restorative sleep possible.

0:00.0	Here on Hill Squad, friends, you have probably heard the concept of you can't heal in the same environment you got sick in. And I've recently realized this might actually make more sense that I initially believed. It's hard to recharge in your environment. And I know that for sure because Kev always says that I have ants in my pants because I can never relax at home. But I do when I go somewhere new. and by this time, you know that when I travel,
0:21.5	I love to stay in homes on Airbnb. And here's why. Whether I'm healing in the Dominican Republic
0:26.8	or El Salvador, amazing homes right on the beach, by the way, a home on Airbnb just makes the
0:32.5	whole experience feel so relaxed because everything's right there. And here's something else to
0:36.9	think about. The next
0:37.7	time you're away traveling, you can list your space on Airbnb. It's a great way to earn some extra
0:42.9	cash and even fund your next trip. And now with Airbnb's co-host network, you can hire a vetted
0:47.5	local co-host to manage reservations, guest communication, and provide on-site support. So hosting
0:52.8	stays stress-free and manageable. So if you've
0:56.0	ever thought about hosting but need a little help, find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host.
1:00.9	One of the biggest celebrations for me and my family is just a week away, Greek Easter,
1:05.1	and I will be arriving home just in time for the big day with no time for error. So instead of
1:10.0	scrolling online for hours, hoping something fits in time, I'm just gonna head into Macy's. This way things are calm. I know it's a little old fashioned, but this way I can try on the styles. Make sure they fit and actually walk out with something I know is gonna be perfect. Just a little thought next time you've got something coming up. I added some cute finds to my wish list in the show notes below.
1:28.5	Don't forget to shop at Macy's in store or online.
1:34.0	I'm on a journey to heal and get better in all areas of life, and I want to do it with you.
1:38.8	Welcome to Heal Squad by Maria Menunoz, where we improve and heal all parts of our lives. Most importantly, our health.
1:46.4	Heal Squad by Maria Menuno's, your life improvement series starts now.
1:51.5	Coming up on this episode of Heel Squad, it'll be four years this June that I quit sunscreen.
1:58.0	Oh my gosh, don't cancel me. Sunlight is not only just underestimated, but actually demonized.
2:03.5	When I hear a story like I heard you tell before about this young person who was dying of leukemia.
2:10.4	Except he didn't die.
2:11.6	I have seen the healing effects of Sun firsthand, even when they thought I had liver cancer.
