Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! This week on Regular Guy Friday, Kev sits down with a special guest, Dr. Kim D’Eramo, to talk about something most of us never learned… how to actually let go and let your body do the healing for once. Dr. Kim shares her story of being diagnosed with a lifelong autoimmune disease, told she’d never run again... and then healing herself by shifting out of “fight mode” and into her feminine energy. (Yes, even the guys can learn from this one.) They break down what it really means to stop pushing, stop “fixing,” and start allowing, how that shift alone can calm your nervous system, ease symptoms, and restore balance in your body. Kev opens up about watching the women in his life (Maria included!) constantly give, grind, and guilt themselves into exhaustion, and how the “power of soft” might just be the real secret to strength. Find out what that means in today’s episode and tune in!! -- 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/ Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkimderamo/?hl=en Alive Women Retreat: https://drkimd.com/retreat/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacz-eRI-qZGbtT4m2b1zIEcOG3l_uSrL_a3rh6jRsuehNzXJFVzig99J6ndxw_aem_KLp7I509z7WkE1J4JlyYGA Alive Women Online: https://drkimd.com/alive-woman-online-2025/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadb8CTg-VikTbEyF72FVHHuuzCVkKy6GIPT6IMRr6prTLucrLERx7AzP0D9Cw_aem_fSoY8J0XN1te4780NA--WQ 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.

1:21.9	I want to hear about, and I want our fans to hear about.
1:24.5	So one of the things I have seen as a doctor, as a woman, is how important
1:29.6	it is to be in our feminine energy for healing. And most of us, not only in our life and like work,
1:37.3	but when we approach healing, we're in our masculine, like learn more, do more, find a way, push through.
1:46.7	And for myself, when I went through a journey with like this severe autoimmune disease and chronic pain and fatigue and I was
1:52.3	pushing. It's all I knew how to do. And I had studied all this stuff with mind, body medicine for
1:57.7	many, many years and nothing was working. Like, I just got worse and worse.
