Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Hey Heal Squad! Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that our bodies are speaking to us, the only catch is… only if we know how to listen. Maria and Dr. Alison dive into a fascinating new cancer breakthrough that uses near-infrared light to dissolve tumors without chemo or surgery, and what it tells us about the role of light in healing every part of the body. They unpack how light exposure, cholesterol levels, and hormone balance are deeply connected, and why many of us are getting the wrong message about “high cholesterol.” You’ll learn why sunlight is more than just vitamin D, and how it actually fuels your body’s hormone production and cellular repair. PLUS, Maria shares the story behind a lung cancer diagnosis that started with a fingernail change, and why your hands might be revealing more about your health than you think. From nail polish to nail shape to the light you’re absorbing (or not), these small signs could be your body’s biggest red flags… you don’t want to miss this one!  -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist HEADLINES & RESOURCES: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14803131/cancer-breakthrough-doctors-zap-tumors-without-chemo.html  https://people.com/fingernails-clue-lung-cancer-symptoms-11736846  https://people.com/chiropractor-tears-neck-artery-cracking-11750504  https://people.com/bindi-irwin-misses-steve-irwin-gala-medical-emergency-11732642  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.

Hey, Heal Squad! This Heal in 10 is a quick but powerful gut health lesson with Dr. Steven Gundry! He breaks down the real reason red wine might actually be good for your gut, and it’s not because of the alcohol. He dives into research on how fermented beverages (like wine and champagne!) may increase microbiome diversity and lower inflammation markers. We also explore the surprising science behind postbiotics, like butyrate, and why these fermentation byproducts could be the missing link in your gut healing journey.

It’s Friday and we fooled them again. We made it through another week to bring you a new edition of Regular Guy Friday—this time from the back rooms of Boston to the dungeons of self-reflection. We talk the power of sending spontaneous messages of love and gratitude, why the work never really ends, and how even the weirdest jobs can shape your story. There’s the guy who knew the stock market but collected cans, the dungeon manager with the Jeopardy answers, and the regular guy caught between two worlds—Hollywood dreams and carne grit. We dig into how crucial it is to follow your passions, the power of sending spontaneous messages of love and gratitude, how nothing’s forever, and why that’s strangely freeing. It’s all subject to change—and that might be the most reliable truth of all. RGF Bonus: The great “comfy cuff” invention and why the love toy store might just have been a better classroom than any Ivy League. Happy Friday.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back for Part 2 with the one and only Dr. Steven Gundry! We’re talking about why your favorite “healthy” foods, like cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers, might actually be hurting your gut. Dr. Gundry breaks down what lectins are, how they trigger inflammation, and how to work with your body instead of against it. We also get into how energy doesn’t come from caffeine or carbs, it comes from your mitochondria. And spoiler: most of us are draining our energy systems without realizing it. Dr. Gundry shares exactly how to nourish your mitochondria and start feeling better fast. Plus, the truth about olive oil. How much is too much? (Hint: you're probably not using enough.) And why this one food might be the ultimate anti-aging tool. This is exactly what your gut really needs to thrive. Tune in, Heal Squad!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  “Healthy” foods can hurt you. Many foods labeled as “heart-healthy” or “gut-friendly” (like whole grains and beans) are loaded with lectins that can damage the gut lining and cause inflammation. Energy isn’t just about calories, it’s about mitochondria. Dr. Gundry explains how mitochondrial health is the real key to energy, longevity, and healing… and why most people are running on low power without realizing it. Olive oil is liquid gold. It feeds your good gut bugs, supports anti-aging, reduces inflammation, and improves mitochondrial function. Gundry recommends aiming for a liter per week for optimal health. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist DR.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week we’re diving deep into gut health with the brilliant Dr. Steven Gundry, cardiothoracic surgeon turned bestselling author and gut-health pioneer. Dr. Gundry breaks down why gut bugs are the real MVPs of your health, and how most of us are accidentally feeding the wrong ones. He explains how hidden triggers like lectins, sugar alcohols, and even “clean” foods are disrupting your microbiome, keeping you stuck in the inflammation spiral. PLUS, we get into why gut health affects your brain, mood, and even weight… but also shares the small changes that make a big difference. From what to ditch to what to eat more of, this conversation will help you simplify gut healing and feel better, faster. Let’s reset that gut & tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  You're feeding the wrong gut bugs. Most of us unknowingly nourish harmful bacteria by eating foods like oats, tomatoes, or sugar alcohols, which disrupt the microbiome and drive inflammation, fatigue, and brain fog. Lectins are triggering inflammation. These plant proteins (found in “healthy” foods like beans and nightshades) can damage the gut lining and lead to autoimmune issues, leaky gut, and chronic disease, especially when your gut is already compromised. Gut health is brain health. Your gut bugs produce key neurotransmitters and regulate inflammation. When the wrong bugs take over, it impacts mood, focus, and even motivation. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist DR.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Setup. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk about the power of fun—not the curated kind, not the monetized kind, but the kind that just lights you up. Whether you’re dealing with Sunday scaries, back-to-school dread, or the weight of adulthood, the invitation is simple: find fun for the sake of it. We reflect on the dream that started it all—Caesar Romero showing up in a backyard birthday party to remind us: go bigger, go bolder, and put up more balloons. The message? This isn’t just about celebration—it’s about comeback. The joy you left behind while caring for others, healing from trauma, or just trying to survive? It’s still there. And it's time to reclaim it. We also talk about breaking free from the “what does it pay?” mentality and leaning into joy as currency. The things that nourish your spirit—like carving pumpkins, recording late-night podcasts, or going all in on holiday specials—matter, even if they don’t show up on a paycheck. The takeaway?Make this the week you stop playing small. Stop waiting for the “right” time to be creative, or bold, or joyful.

It’s Friday and we fooled them again—made it through another week to bring you another edition of Regular Guy Friday! This week we talk fireworks, frauds, and Fourth of July reflections. From summer scams to seagulls with side agendas, we unpack what it means to take one on the chin—literally and metaphorically. We talk the new Hollywood hustle, where the old power players are now scrambling for relevance, and the real stars are influencers, podcasters, and yes—narcissist hunters. We explore the emotional weight of victimhood, why so few people take accountability, and the rare redemption in doing just that. Plus, some real talk about shame, embarrassment, and the importance of sharing your worst moments if it means someone else can avoid them. From wiring money to a fake landlord to almost buying a scam car off Facebook, this episode is part confessional, part cautionary tale. We talk family carnivals, unpaid dues, and how the grind of blue-collar summer jobs can shape (and scar) a life. And we ask: what if the greatest gift we give each other isn’t advice or money—but just the truth about where we messed up? RGF Bonus: The return of Joey Chestnut, the secret logo of VictimCon, homemade baloney sandwiches, Diet Coke-fueled carney days, and a very special shoutout to Tanya Tucker (whether she wants it or not). Happy Friday.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re continuing our parenting theme this week with a powerful throwback conversation featuring the brilliant Dr. Shefali Tsabary, 7x NYT bestselling author, psychologist, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement. Dr. Shefali breaks down exactly what conscious parenting means (and what it doesn’t), why control and obedience can damage connection, and how reparenting yourself is the first step to truly empowering your child. She explains how ego, fear, and identity loss affect our parenting more than we realize… PLUS, we dive into what it means to show up whole, why kids don’t need perfect parents, and how your own triggers are actually the gateway to deep healing. It’s not just about how to parent differently, it's about how to live more consciously and fully as yourself.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with part two of our powerful conversation with Dr. Harold Koplewicz, President of the Child Mind Institute, and this one is packed with real tools every parent needs right now! In this episode, Dr. Koplewicz introduces his framework called “Scaffolding Parenting” and explains how it helps raise emotionally strong, self-regulating kids without hovering or over-fixing. He breaks down the difference between healthy support and helicoptering, and how to know when to step in (and when to let your child build resilience). We also get into the top questions every parent should be asking to emotionally check in with their kids, how to teach emotional literacy from preschool through the teen years, and why routines like family gratitude, reading time, and exercise are essential for mental wellness. These are tools every parent needs in their back pockets, whether your child is 3, 13, or 23!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Scaffolding parenting builds strength without overstepping. It’s not about fixing—it’s about supporting your child’s natural growth, so they feel capable of handling life’s challenges with confidence. Your routines are shaping their mental health. Family dinners, reading rituals, and screen-free zones help kids feel safe, connected, and emotionally anchored. Kids need a vocabulary for their feelings. Naming emotions helps children process them. The earlier they can say “I feel nervous” or “I feel proud,” the better they can self-regulate under stress.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we are joined by the brilliant Dr. Harold Koplewicz, President of the Child Mind Institute, to talk about what’s really going on with youth mental health. He is not only one of the most trusted voices in youth mental health, but he is here to tell us exactly what you can do to help. From rising suicide rates to anxiety at age 10, Dr. Koplewicz helps us understand why so many kids are struggling, and the red flags every pediatrician and parent needs to look out for.  He breaks down the effects of screen time on dopamine and brain development, the emotional toll of comparison culture, and the exact age ranges when kids are most vulnerable. PLUS, they get into what pediatricians are missing and how to spot early red flags in toddlers all the way through teens. And the best part? He shares simple (but life-changing) tools to help your kids build emotional fitness, starting now. You’re going to want this in your parenting toolkit. Tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Kids need emotional fitness as much as physical fitness. Just like sit-ups build strength, tools like breathwork, body awareness, and emotion naming build mental resilience—and need to be taught young. Screens are disrupting dopamine and brain development. Constant stimulation from devices hijacks attention, wrecks sleep, and increases anxiety—especially for kids with pre-existing mental health challenges. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in kids and teens. Most parents don’t realize that adolescence is the most vulnerable window for impulsive decisions, and untreated emotional pain can quickly escalate into crisis. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Harold Koplewicz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drharoldkoplewicz/?hl=en  Child Mind Institute Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/childmindinstitute/  Website: https://childmind.org/  Journaling App: https://childmind.org/blog/keeping-teens-safe-in-the-mirror-journaling-app/  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-20335413  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.

Hey Heal Squad! In this week’s Chat Show, Maria and Dr. Alison are back for a full-body summer reset chat to discuss their recent health hot takes! Maria shares her jaw-dropping experience with a new acupuncturist (recommended by Rebecca Zamolo!) that led to instant relief from SI joint pain, leg heaviness, and even constipation. Yes, all from one pressure point. You’ll hear exactly what he did, what points to try, and why her body finally responded to healing in a way it never had before. We also dive into a powerful conversation about the unexpected ways our environment is impacting our health. Maria opens up about a scary moment that revealed food safety and environmental toxins... If you’ve ever wondered whether the “organic” label is still trustworthy, they are breaking down why California produce and wine might not be as clean as they seem, and how to source food that actually supports your healing. Sometimes, becoming the CEO of your health starts with light, grounding, and tuning into the simple things your body’s been asking for all along.

In this Heal in 10 episode, Maria shares the mind-blowing results she experienced after just one session with her acupuncturist, and how learning the right acupressure points changed everything… Dr. Christopher Motley breaks down how symptoms like dry lips, tight calves, and even cracked heels are often signs of deeper imbalances in the spleen, bladder, and digestive system. Together, they explore how pressing simple points on the hand, back, or hips can offer immediate relief for constipation, back pain, and more. They also discuss how emotional patterns like worry and over-care can weaken key organ systems, and why small daily changes can create major shifts in your health.

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we explore the real reason behind our habits—the ones we know aren’t serving us, but we keep circling back to anyway. We talk cravings, cycles, and the quiet patterns we fall into when something deeper is asking to be seen. Because whether it’s pizza, Diet Coke, gossip, or just keeping too busy, most habits aren’t random—they’re responses. We don’t need to be the hero to make an impact and how we’re still in the game, even when the scoreboard doesn’t make sense. This week, ask yourself not just what you’re doing—but why. Why do you reach for that thing? Why do you push yourself so hard? Why does that small moment still sit with you? You don’t need to fix it all today. Just notice. That’s where change begins.

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Friday, and yes—we fooled them again. With an RGF that starts with Tiny Bubbles and somehow ends with Indiana Jones. Kev and Anne talk shame and how those buried feelings show up—autoimmune, hernia, heartbreak—and why healing starts with telling the truth: “I feel it.” “I see it.” “I’m letting it go.” We talk mindset medicine and how it starts with presence, compassion, and a whole lot less attachment. We talk why some people never get sick and others never get well. We talk how these simple changes led to a coffee shop meet-cute and why a bad cup might just reroute you to your next chapter.   Have a great weekend, bye betches.   -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox  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.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re continuing our theme this week of gut, brain, and emotional healing with this week’s throwback with triple board certified physician, Dr. Zach Bush! We knew this was the perfect time to bring back one of our favorite episodes to revisit this week.  Dr. Zach doesn’t just talk about symptoms, he gets to the real root of disease: disconnection. Disconnection from our bodies, our relationships, our food, our purpose, and even the Earth itself. He shares how trauma, toxins, gut health, and isolation all play a role in why we’re sick, PLUS how healing starts when we finally begin to reconnect on every level. Get ready to shift your perspective on health completely. We talk about the power of nature, the soul-body connection, and why your body isn’t broken (it’s just been overwhelmed). If you’re craving deeper healing and ready to get to the why behind what you're feeling… you don’t want to miss this one!  -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/  Website: https://zachbushmd.com/  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.

Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our incredible conversation with Dr. Christopher Motley, we’re diving deeper into the hidden wisdom of the body and the overlooked signals it’s constantly sending us. From ruptured ulcers linked to emotional stress to the healing power of acupressure and organ communication, this episode is packed with ancient practices and practical insights. Maria shares her own experiences using acupressure to relieve symptoms instantly, and Dr. Motley breaks down how organs like the spleen, liver, and bladder reveal dysfunction through symptoms like cracked heels, hip pain, constipation, and more.. PLUS, we explore how trauma is stored in your connective tissue (yup, emotional detox is real!), how environmental stressors like EMFs affect your ability to heal, and why supporting your thyroid, adrenals, and mitochondria is critical for long-term wellness. If you’ve been chasing symptoms and are ready to finally understand the root of your chronic health issues, tune in and take your healing into your own hands! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Drainage before detox. If your lymphatic and fascia systems are congested, your body can’t eliminate toxins like mold, metals, or viruses, no matter how many supplements you take. True healing starts with clearing the exit pathways. Your organs are always listening. Both Dr. Motley and Maria share how speaking directly to their organs during prayer or meditation brought powerful healing shifts… showing the potential of organ communication in Chinese medicine. Acupressure delivers real-time results. From dry lips to back pain and even digestive issues, Maria shares firsthand how pressing specific points taught by her acupuncturist delivered instant relief (sometimes in just one session!) -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram Website Podcast Dr. Motley’s Protocols 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.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re kicking off a fascinating two-part episode with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. In Part 1, Dr. Motley opens up about his personal health journey with Lyme disease, and how becoming his own best case study led him to uncover the root causes of chronic illness through energy medicine and frequency healing. He breaks down the hidden reason so many people stay sick: blocked drainage pathways. From EMFs and heavy metals to trapped emotions and mold toxicity, Dr. Motley explains how these invisible stressors overload the body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and stall healing at the deepest level. We also dive into how trauma gets stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with hormone issues and fatigue, and why your body’s Qi—your electromagnetic life force—could be the key to real, lasting transformation. If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode will help you finally connect the dots and understand your symptoms in a whole new light. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Drainage is the foundation of healing. Before you detox, your drainage pathways (like the lymphatic system and liver) need to be open. If they’re blocked, toxins can’t leave the body, and you stay stuck in survival mode. Your body holds emotional memories. Trapped emotions from past trauma can get stored in specific organs, silently contributing to chronic illness, hormone imbalance, and nervous system dysregulation. Mold and metals are hidden saboteurs. Many people with brain fog, fatigue, or mysterious symptoms are dealing with toxic overload from mold exposure or heavy metals—and most don’t even know it. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram Website Podcast Dr. Motley’s Protocols 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.

Hey, Heal Squad! Maria’s back from her healing trip to the Dominican Republic—and she’s got a major update that could shift how you think about your health, your zip code… and even your morning coffee. In this week’s episode, Maria and Dr. Alison unpack the shocking truth about how your environment impacts everything from vitamin D production to autoimmunity. After spending months in Connecticut and time in the DR, Maria shares the wild health changes she noticed (including her blood sugar and energy levels) just from getting out of L.A.—plus, the return of a mystery throat symptom she now suspects was linked to air pollution. PLUS, Maria opens up about her emotional birthday moment with Athena, and how she’s redefining healing to include joy, play, and the power of being present with the people you love. This one is packed with lightbulb moments (pun intended).

On this Sunday Setup, we set you up with a quiet but meaningful shift: you don’t have to own everything you admire. We talk about letting go—the things, the roles, even the applause. Not because they don’t matter, but because they don’t define you. You can love the car, the house, the title... without needing to possess it. Admiration doesn’t always have to end in acquisition. We talk about being seen. Not the spotlight kind—but the simple, human kind. A “thank you,” a glance, a moment of real acknowledgment. It's not about ego. It’s about being known. And that’s okay to want. It’s okay to need. We talk about puppets, too—yes, literal ones—and how even silly things can anchor connection. Whether it’s a fuzzy face on a screen or a familiar voice at the end of the day, presence takes many forms. So this week, take stock. What are you holding that could be admired, not carried? And where could you offer— or receive—a little more acknowledgment? Here’s to clear eyes, open hands, and a soft place to land. You’re seen, Heal Squad.   -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox  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.

It’s Friday and we fooled them again—with an RGF that’s part eulogy, part therapy session, and part fuzzy puppet plot twist. We talk a genius who never called himself one. Lyrics like dreams, novels that never saw daylight, and a mind too big for the boxes the world built. He listened, he loved, and he never knew how much he mattered. We talk bricks—the emotional kind. The weight of perfection, shame, and all the stories that said, “not good enough.” We carried them. So did he. Maybe it’s time we stop. We talk functional mental patients—our tribe of all-in mental patients. If you say yes before you know what you’re saying yes to, welcome. You’re one of us. We talk puppet ladies at fan meetups, finger-smashing contractor chaos, and the unexpected healing that comes from demolition, dinner with the locals, and venting to a wheelbarrow. We talk legacy, letting go, and why it’s not about the likes (unless we’re in 3D). Post the thing. Say the words. Set down a brick. You don’t need to carry it anymore. Happy Friday. Hug your Mental Patients. We’ll see you Tuesday. Bye betches.   -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox  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.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re continuing the theme of gut-brain health and bringing back an amazing 2 part episode with the brilliant Dr. Will Cole! In the first part of our conversation, we’re talking all about the emotional roots of our eating patterns and how food guilt, shame, and emotional triggers can sabotage both your health and happiness. Dr. Cole breaks down how our relationship with food is often shaped by trauma, cultural messaging, and emotional dysregulation—and how healing your gut can also help heal your brain and your inner world. We explore everything from cortisol overload and blood sugar swings to why your nervous system plays a bigger role in digestion than you think. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of restriction, bingeing, or guilt after eating, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface (and how to finally reclaim peace in your body and mind).

Hey Heal Squad! We’re diving into the delicious side of healing this week with psychiatrist and nutritional wellness pioneer Dr. Drew Ramsey! Let’s just say, this convo might completely change how you think about food and your brain… Dr. Ramsey breaks down how what we eat directly impacts anxiety, depression, and brain fog—and how simple nutrient upgrades can supercharge your mental health. We talk about dopamine, gut-brain connection, why your serotonin might be stuck, and what to do when anxiety makes you feel like you’re spiraling. Plus, we get into “brain food swaps” (yes, even for sugar and coffee), why magnesium is underrated, and the powerful foods that can actually help you heal—like seafood, dark chocolate, and yes… even certain carbs.If you’re ready to feed your mind AND feel better in your body, you’re gonna love this one! -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox  DR DREW RAMSEY RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewramseymd/?hl=en  Website: https://drewramseymd.com/  ‘Healing The Modern Brain’ Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-19597042  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.

Hey Heal Squad! This week’s episode is packed with wellness gold, especially for those of us navigating hormonal shifts, energy crashes, and modern health myths. Maria and Dr. Alison get real about the hidden disruptors that could be wreaking havoc on your hormones—yes, even that innocent energy drink or late-night scroll might be doing more harm than you think. From perimenopause signs we’re not taught to look for, to the surprising sleep and nutrition patterns that support your cycle. We also talk about emotional regulation, how to read your body’s signals (before it screams for help), and the easy swaps that can get your nervous system back on track.

What does it really feel like to become a mom through surrogacy? Hey Heal Squad! In today’s Heal in 10, Rebecca Zamolo opens up about one of the hardest parts of her journey, the fear of not feeling connected to her daughter during pregnancy. While she wasn’t physically carrying her baby, her heart was all in—and yet, that didn’t stop the anxiety from creeping in… She gets real about the emotional highs and lows, the guilt that can show up, and how she worked to build a bond with her baby long before she ever held her in her arms. Maria shares her advice of what helped her emotionally bond with baby Athena during her own journey. This is a powerful reminder that love knows no bounds—and that connection isn’t just physical, it’s intentional. If you’re navigating surrogacy, supporting someone who is, or just wondering what that emotional journey looks like behind the scenes—this is for you. You’re not alone in those feelings, and connection can grow in ways you never expected. Tune in for a dose of truth, hope, and healing 💛 Don’t forget to listen to our FULL episodes with Rebecca Zamolo: Part 1: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1093-the-8-year-health-battle-you-didnt-see-rebecca/id1320060107?i=1000712236632  Part 2: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1094-inside-the-fertility-fight-the-cost-of/id1320060107?i=1000712414395  -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccazamolo/  Website: https://rebeccazamolo.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqM1LIbAfHR4GpfLcMXnKg65pIBLr4E9s8z5IAzG694LQYHjLBV  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rebeccazamolo  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/rebeccazamolo1  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.

On this Sunday Setup, we set you up with a simple but powerful reminder: get to the reason why. Why did that comment sting? Why did that moment light you up? Why are you still carrying something that no longer serves you? We talk emotional bricks and old ghosts—the ones we’ve lugged around so long we barely notice the weight. But the truth is, when you name what haunts you, it starts to lose its power. And when you ask why, you begin to loosen the grip of past patterns. We also talk joy. Because the good stuff matters too. Why does this feel right? Why does this energize me? Getting curious on both sides—the pain and the pleasure—opens the door to real healing. Whether it’s through therapy, conversation, or even your favorite AI guide (hello, Phineas J. Whoopi), this week, take a breath before you react—and get to the reason why. Here’s to a lighter, more intentional week ahead, Heal Squad.   -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

It’s Friday and we fooled them again with an RGF that’s part reunion recap, part emotional unpack—and yes, the mop-top mullet made an appearance. We talk Brian Wilson and why some songs—and some souls—leave a mark. We talk whether Sunday is the start or end of the week, and why teenage boys are now rocking hair that looks like it lost a bet. We talk about the mob salad mullet epidemic, eras that aged well (hello, Mad Men), and those that didn’t (sorry, 70s—you tried). We talk bricks. The emotional kind. The ones you’ve been carrying for decades because someone once told you you didn’t belong, didn’t graduate, or didn’t measure up. Spoiler alert: no one’s checking credentials at the door of friendship. You're in. Always were. We talk about the power of showing up—whether it’s to a college reunion, a group chat, or your own healing. And we remind you: just because you’ve gotten used to the weight doesn’t mean it was ever yours to carry. We talk DNA myths, emotional fatigue, and why therapy can look like a professional session, a friend chat, or even a late-night convo with Phineas J. Whoopi (AI therapist of choice). Healing is healing—don’t knock the method. Happy Friday. Set down a brick. Bye betches.   -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

Hey Heal Squad! In this deeply personal throwback, Maria and Keven open up like never before about the emotional rollercoaster of their surrogacy journey. Joined by their incredible surrogate couple and Stephanie Levich of Family Match Consulting, they share the highs, the heartbreaks, and the surprising moments of love, grief, and hope that shaped their path to parenthood. From the pain of IVF loss to navigating the trust and intimacy of surrogacy with virtual strangers, Maria and Keven pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to build a family this way. They talk about the soul contracts that brought them all together, the grief of losing embryos, and how their faith in love—and each other—carried them through. Whether you’re considering surrogacy, supporting someone who is, or just love a story about resilience and chosen family, this one’s for you. 💛 -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist EPISODE RESOURCES:  Family Match Consulting: https://www.familymatchconsulting.com/  ‘From The Start’ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Start-Stephanie-Levich/dp/1632995336/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3O3AT079Q1D0S&keywords=stephanie+levich+from+the+start&qid=1652816246&sprefix=stephanie+levic%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-1  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.

Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our powerful chat with digital creator and mom-of-one Rebecca Zamolo, we dive into the emotional aftermath that no one prepares you for. Rebecca gets honest about what it was like to finally get pregnant after years of IVF and surgery—only to be met with anxiety, grief, and PTSD instead of the joy she expected. From high-risk pregnancy fears to the moment she almost quit YouTube altogether, this episode explores what happens when your dream comes true… but healing still hasn’t arrived. We also talk about miscarriage, the pressure to show up for millions online while breaking inside, and how she and her husband made the decision to grow their family via surrogacy. Rebecca shares what she’s learned about letting go of control, navigating grief, and how to prepare emotionally for baby #2 when your heart’s still healing from baby #1. This one’s for anyone who's ever had to keep hoping, even when it hurts. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Healing after IVF takes more than a pregnancy. Even after a successful round, Rebecca still faced anxiety, grief, and PTSD from her previous loss. Emotional healing doesn’t automatically follow physical outcomes—it requires space, support, and time. You don’t have to “stay strong” all the time. Rebecca opens up about the pressure to be positive for others while silently struggling. She reminds us that giving yourself permission to not be okay is a crucial part of real healing. It’s okay to reconsider your path. After years of chasing content creation success, Rebecca nearly walked away from YouTube. Her story shows that healing may require stepping back from what no longer aligns—even if it once did. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram Website TikTok YouTube Fertility Supplements Ostomy Secrets 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.

Hey, Heal Squad! You may know her from viral videos and billion-view challenges, but today, Rebecca Zamolo is sharing the story behind the screen—one marked by pain, resilience, and radical honesty. In Part 1 of our raw and inspiring conversation, Rebecca opens up about her battle with chronic illness, the life-altering decision to remove her colon, and how that journey impacted her self-worth, identity, and relationships. She walks us through the emotional toll of IVF, the heartbreak of miscarriage, and what it was like to navigate it all while being in the public eye. We explore how she rebuilt her strength (physically and emotionally) and why she chose to share these deeply personal moments with her audience. Whether you’re navigating a health crisis, infertility, or just need a reminder that healing is possible, Rebecca’s story will move you and empower you to keep going. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Chronic illness doesn’t care about your plans. Rebecca was at the top of her career when her health crashed. Her body forced her to stop, reassess, and choose healing—even when it meant removing her colon. You can be grateful and grieving at the same time. Rebecca shares the emotional rollercoaster of IVF and miscarriage, revealing how it’s possible to feel joy for others while holding heartbreak for yourself. Silence breeds shame. She explains how speaking publicly about her miscarriage helped her release shame and allowed others to feel seen in their own stories.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we unpack three dreams, one AEW stadium, two wrestling legends, and a whole lot of emotional payload. What begins as a walk through a rundown arena turns into a masterclass on loyalty, guilt, and the silent wars we wage within. We break down what it means when shame meets strategy—and when you finally choose not to get involved. We talk about the moments we betray ourselves just to stay in someone else's favor, and the quiet power of walking away without burning down the stadium. We meet the part of you that once served power just to be seen and the evolving self that now serves love and allows itself to be. We revisit dream encounters with Adam West’s Batman, a bare-chested Jim Rockford from the Rockford Files, and a Thunderbird that’s not just a car—it’s a symbol of the family that left and the wise feminine spirit who told you to stay. We reflect on saying no with compassion, breaking cycles without breaking hearts, and protecting your inner AEW: the part of you that builds quietly without applause. This isn’t just dream interpretation—it’s emotional renovation. You’re not stuck. You’re integrating. You’re not being left behind. You’re being rerouted. Sunday Set Up Bonus: Jim Rockford’s budget-friendly guest appearance, the Jesus Christ AM Radio Hour, standing up to your father-in-law for his own good, and the eternal truth about lifetime guarantees (they’re all ********, and that’s why they work). Remember: you owe the past no allegiance. Only the present, your presence. Have a beautiful week. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

It’s Friday and we fooled them again—made it to another Regular Guy Friday, and this time we’re talking everything from civilian go to conversation subjects to the best approach to the work you need to do but are not thrilled to do and even class reunion jitters. We talk the power of physical labor and how, when approached without resentment, it becomes a form of service and even self-healing. Gone are the Diet Cokes and rage-fueled rants—this is the era of intention journals, gratitude days and peaceful warriors.  We share how the work should no longer be about self punishment , applause or proving something. It’s about presence, balance, and finishing what needs finishing without adding unnecessary suffering. We revisit the power of not reacting—especially when confronted by past nemeses or current rain delays—and how vibrating differently can shift everything from work stress to surprise A-lister calls. We talk gratitude, detachment from outcomes, and the quiet pride of sticking to the mission (even when you’re ankle-deep in mud, poison ivy and numb hands). RGF BONUS: Class reunion prep with and for Ann. Happy Friday. Bye Betches. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

Happy Wednesday, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our fascinating conversation with the Medical Medium, Anthony William, and this one’s a deep dive into some of the most misunderstood chronic conditions. Anthony pulls back the curtain on anxiety, depression, autoimmune issues, and why so many people are suffering in silence without clear answers. He explains how symptoms we often blame on “stress” or “genetics” may be signs of deeper imbalances, from viral infections and heavy metal toxicity to adrenal fatigue and a sluggish liver. We also explore the power of healing foods like celery juice and wild blueberries, and how small, daily changes can create major shifts in your energy, brain fog, and emotional resilience. It’s time to reclaim your power and become your own health advocate, tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Anxiety isn’t always mental. It can be a physical signal of viral or toxic overload. Cleaning up your diet and supporting your nervous system may help where medications fall short. Autoimmune isn’t your body turning on itself. Anthony shares how viruses and toxins (not self-destruction) are the real culprits behind so many misdiagnosed chronic conditions. Celery juice isn’t just trendy, it’s transformational. Starting your day with celery juice can help flush toxins, support digestion, and restore clarity to your mind and body. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist THE MEDICAL MEDIUM RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicalmedium/?hl=en  Website: https://www.medicalmedium.com/  Find Anthony's books (& some of my other favorites!) here: https://shopmy.us/collections/106835 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.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re bringing back a powerful two-part conversation with Anthony William, otherwise known as the Medical Medium! Trust us, it’s just as relevant today as it was when we first aired it. In Part 1, Anthony opens up about the misunderstood root causes of so many chronic health issues, from anxiety and fatigue to autoimmune conditions and mystery symptoms doctors often dismiss. He explains why heavy metals, viral load, and liver congestion may be silently impacting your brain, skin, energy, and even your relationships. Anthony also dives into how foods like celery juice, wild blueberries, and lemon water are more than just trends…they’re powerful tools to cleanse, rebuild, and restore your body from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt unheard, misdiagnosed, or stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you. Tune in to start getting answers and real solutions that empower you to take your healing into your own hands.  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Toxic overload isn’t just food-related. Fragrances, heavy metals, and environmental pollution are silent contributors to chronic illness, and most people don’t even know they’re being exposed. Fish oil isn’t always a friend. While often seen as a health staple, Anthony challenges its benefits and warns about hidden dangers most doctors won’t tell you about. Your bloodwork may not be telling the full story. Common testing practices could disrupt your body more than help it. Anthony explains how to protect your health when giving blood samples. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist THE MEDICAL MEDIUM RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicalmedium/?hl=en  Website: https://www.medicalmedium.com/  Find Anthony's books (& some of my other favorites!) here: https://shopmy.us/collections/106835 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.

Hey Heal Squad! Get ready for a major education moment with Dr. Sara Reardon, board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist, TED presenter, and founder of The V-Hive platform. Dr. Sara (aka the Vagina Whisperer) is here to break down what the pelvic floor really is, why it matters WAY more than we’ve been taught, and how you can prevent and treat common issues like painful sex, urinary leakage, prolapse, constipation, and discomfort during pregnancy or menopause—without shame or mystery. She shares why so many of us were never taught about this essential part of our anatomy, how to know if you’re experiencing tension vs. weakness, and how to start caring for this powerful part of your body through breath, awareness, and simple daily shifts (like stop pushing when you pee!). From taboo topics to everyday tips, this conversation will change how you view your pelvic floor—and give you the tools to reclaim your health at every stage of life! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Painful sex is a signal, not something to ignore. Pain with intimacy is a sign your body needs attention, not something to normalize. Pelvic floor therapy can address the root causes and help you reconnect with your body without fear or shame. Stop pushing when you pee. Straining during urination or bowel movements can weaken your pelvic floor over time. Practicing proper mechanics helps preserve pelvic health through every life stage. Tight isn’t strong. A tight pelvic floor often mimics weakness, leading to pain, leaks, or dysfunction. Learning how to relax your pelvic floor is just as important as strengthening it. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.vagina.whisperer/?hl=en Website: https://thevagwhisperer.com/  Pre-Order Her Book!: https://thevagwhisperer.com/floored/  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.

Hey, Heal Squad! With summer right around the corner, we’re kicking off June with a powerful reminder: the sun isn’t your enemy, it might just be your greatest healer. In this special episode, Maria is diving into the science and soul of sunlight as medicine, curating some of the most mind-blowing insights from past Heal Squad guests who are true experts on light healing, Dr. Jack Kruse, Dr. Alison Monette, and Dr. Christina Rahm! They share how natural light supports your mitochondria, balances your hormones, resets your circadian rhythm, fuels detox, and even boosts emotional resilience. Maria ties it all together with her own reflections on embracing sun exposure more intentionally—and how simple shifts like morning light can transform your energy, clarity, and overall health. This is your summer wake-up call to get outside and reconnect with one of the most powerful (and free!) healing tools available.

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we set you up with a reminder that the only thing permanent… is change. From old-school CB radios and late-night talk shows to UFOs and overnight true crime, we talk nostalgic, what’s been lost, and what might still be worth reclaiming. We talk gratitude, real, daily, life-shifting gratitude. We break down The Magic, a 28-day progrum that helps you transform one thank-you at a time. We talk the power of acknowledging what’s good—even when it’s hidden in a speeding ticket, a utility bill, or a past hurt. Because when you shift your lens, the blessings start showing up. We talk stepping into full power—mentally, spiritually, and yes, even physically (200 tons of stone, anyone?). And how the energy you put out becomes the invitation for what’s next. This week, the takeaway is simple: nothing lasts forever—so why not choose gratitude in the now? Here’s to a grounded, grateful week, Heal Squad! -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

It’s Friday and we fooled them again with an RGF LITE. We talk all things spilled wine, faded spotlights, and a reminder that even in Hollywood, the real story’s happening just off-camera. We’re talking accidental run-ins with TV legends, spiritual redirections in Hollywood living rooms, and what happens when you get pulled into the circle—literally. We talk the myth of perfection and why being multifaceted isn’t a flaw, it’s the design. There’s the helper, the hider, the guy with the SAG voucher and the shame spiral, and yes—even the one who just wanted to help clean up the mess. It’s about identity, visibility, and the slow courage it takes to admit you’re still learning how to be seen. We talk the fall of the old gods—how the elite cling to relevance while the rest of us are learning to find power in authenticity. We talk all things family dynamics, imposter syndrome, and the quiet kind of success that looks like staying grateful even when you’re sitting in the shadows. RGF Bonus: Mrs. Brady as spiritual first responder, Mark Wahlberg shoulder squeezes, couch drama that wasn’t from Living Spaces  , and confirmation that yes—Jack Lord probably had real hair.

Hey Heal Squad! This week’s Throwback Thursday is for anyone ready to upgrade their fitness, especially as we move through different seasons of life! Celebrity trainers Andrea Orbeck and Nicole Stuart (whose clients include A-listers like Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, and Madonna!) join Maria to break down how to adjust your workouts as you age for longevity, strength, and true wellness.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Denise Kirtley, and this one is packed with real talk about what it actually takes to maintain strength, build muscle, and feel your best in midlife and beyond. Denise gets candid about her journey from emotional eating and burnout to becoming a bodybuilding competitor—and what it felt like after she stepped off the stage. She opens up about learning that your leanest body isn’t always your happiest body, how to find your “healthy weight,” and why building a sustainable, strong life matters more than hitting a number on the scale. We dive into her daily health non-negotiables, how she breaks down the fear around lifting heavy, and why acceptance is just as important as ambition. PLUS, Denise shares the powerful mindset shift that helped her push through self-doubt and start living with intention. If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, negative body image, or just need motivation to start again—this episode will meet you exactly where you are. 💛 HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Strong is the new sustainable. It’s not about staying “stage lean.” Denise discovered real health comes from strength, consistency, and how you feel Motivation fades, habits last. Daily non-negotiables like walking, protein, and sleep help Denise stay on track, even when motivation disappears. A healthy weight isn’t always your leanest weight. Denise got honest about finding a weight where she could feel strong, balanced, and mentally well, not just lean for the sake of it. Lifting heavy builds more than muscle. Denise gained self-trust, resilience, and power in the gym. What started as physical strength became emotional strength too. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  DENISE KIRTLEY RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fiftyfitnessjourney/?hl=en Website: https://rebellionbody.com/  Get coaching: https://rebellionbody.com/pages/coaching  Challenge: https://my.playbookapp.io/denise-kirtley/programs/pull-up-program/23454  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.

Hey Heal Squad! If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought “Is this just how it is now?” If so, this is exactly what you need to hear! In Part 1 of our conversation with Denise Kirtley, she shares how she went from burned out, binge eating, and pre-diabetic in her late 40s to competing in a bodybuilding competition in her 50s—after never having stepped foot in a gym. Denise opens up about the moment that made her change everything, how she overcame self-doubt and shame, and how strength training helped her reclaim her body, her energy, and her confidence. She also gets real about how to make the first step when you feel stuck, how to break the cycle of emotional eating, and why midlife isn’t a decline—it’s a decision. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, burnout, or just feel like you’re “starting over,” Denise will remind you that it’s never too late to become the strongest version of yourself. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Transformation starts with one honest moment. For Denise, it wasn’t a rock bottom—it was realizing her wedding ring didn’t fit. That moment of discomfort sparked a complete lifestyle shift. You can lose 50 pounds without extremes. Denise didn’t crash diet or obsess over perfection. She focused on consistent habits, strength training, and choosing long-term wellness over quick fixes. Emotional eating keeps you stuck in survival mode. Denise recognized how food was numbing her stress. Once she got curious instead of judgmental, everything started to shift. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  DENISE KIRTLEY RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fiftyfitnessjourney/?hl=en Website: https://rebellionbody.com/  Get coaching: https://rebellionbody.com/pages/coaching  Challenge: https://my.playbookapp.io/denise-kirtley/programs/pull-up-program/23454  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.
