Summary

Hey Heal Squad! It’s another What Worked This Week with Maria, straight from El Salvador! Today, she kicks things off with a wild discovery ( and really wasn’t working lol)… her supplements were actually spiking her blood sugar! Yup, something as “healthy” as beef liver supplements may have hidden ingredients that can impact glucose levels. If you’re dealing with blood sugar or diabetes, this is a must-listen.Then, something that did work: reflexology. Maria found a local certified reflexologist, and not only did it help her feel more balanced, it actually helped lower her blood sugar and reduce her insulin. FYI, we’re having her top reflexologist at our Heal Squad Day of Reset (info below!). But it's not just the reflexology, Maria talks about her reduced blood sugar is also a result of being by the ocean. The sun, salt water, even black sand in El Salvador has her feeling totally recharged and more in tune with her body than ever. She also has a beach conversation with a total stranger that really hit. It sparked a bigger reflection on living in alignment and how going against your nature might actually be making you sick. Listen in for some reflective thoughts about that. Finally 5 lifestyle upgrades Maria swears by right now like an almond milk maker, root cover-up, and so much more (hint, hint, Kim Kardashian is into one of them!) But every single one of these are definite game changers! Enjoy!

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 time you're away traveling, you can list your space on Airbnb. It's a great way to

0:47.1	a vetted local co-host to manage reservations, guest communication, and provide on-site
0:51.8	support so hosting 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.
1:01.1	Friends, I know someone who did something really cool recently. So they just listed their space on
1:05.4	Airbnb and use that money to help fund their own escape on Airbnb, like a swap. I've talked about it, but now that I
1:11.7	know someone who did it personally, it's so cool that it works. And now with Airbnb's co-host network,
1:16.6	hosting is easier than ever. You can hire a vetted local co-host to handle all the behind-the-scenes
1:21.1	details so hosting stays completely stress-free while you enjoy your time off. So if you're thinking,
