Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week.This week, we talk about the labels we place on ourselves, and the ones the world places on us. Do they help us better understand who we are... or do they quietly become excuses that keep us from becoming who we're capable of being? We talk about why it's so easy to embrace an identity, whether it's a diagnosis, a setback, or a story we've been telling ourselves for years, and how those labels can sometimes become prisons instead of pathways. We talk about the power of choosing how we respond rather than allowing a label to define what's possible. From living with a lifelong medical condition without letting it become an excuse, to discovering how years of emotional weight can literally show up in the body.  Plus, a Sunday Set Up bonus! We talk about Star Trek, the return of swashbuckling, Greek islands, miracle churches, novelty ice cream, jazz brunches, the healing power of a good car scream, and the need to rebrand VictimCon. This week, ask yourself: What labels have I accepted about myself? Are they helping me grow... or are they quietly convincing me that I can't? Because your circumstances may shape your story, but they never have to write the ending. Have a great week! We'll talk Shawtly.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday!This week we’re taking a delicious trip back to the golden age of childhood as we explore the incredible history of the American ice cream truck…from the 1920s Good Humor man to the legendary Hood trucks of Boston and the unforgettable novelty treats that defined the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Why did hearing that familiar jingle send an entire neighborhood sprinting for home? How did the ice cream man become one of America’s most beloved summer traditions? And what happened to this uniquely American ritual?  Along the way we rank the greatest frozen treats of all time…from Bomb Pops, Strawberry Shortcake Bars, Toasted Almonds, Screwballs, Push-Ups, Chipwiches, Jimmy Cones, Circus Fun, Cannonballs, Nutty Buddies and so many forgotten favorites. We uncover surprising stories behind Good Humor, Mister Softee, Hood, and the entrepreneurs who built an iconic industry on wheels, along with fascinating stats, hidden history, and the business lessons behind one of America’s greatest neighborhood traditions. As always on Pot Luck Saturday, we wander wherever curiosity takes us, from pool safety and parenting, back to school back when, and why Gen X is the bridge generation, getting the last novelty ice creams from the truck so to speak.   Join us at our Canyon Ranch 2026 Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/lenox/retreats/heal-retreat-maria-menounos 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/host 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 International Lonely Guy Friday! Live from Greece, with questionable internet, background noise, a Greek-speaking Athena, and Zorba taking entirely too long to kick in. Today we get into how European culture prioritizes living while American culture prioritizes working,  and why accepting who you are may matter more. We talk about how DJs, Greek music, Springsteen, and even repetitive algorithms can place us into emotional and almost hypnotic states. We also get into how a conversation with a privileged 25-year-old critic of America became a lesson in capitalism, gratitude, fathers, responsibility, and remembering who still pays half the bills. Plus, how America may be deeply flawed while also possessing traditions of generosity, charity, humane treatment, tipping, and helping strangers that travelers often witness firsthand. Kev also discusses how empathy for younger generations does not require endorsing entitlement, hatred or burning down systems and how parents may finally be learning to limit screens and more. Also, understanding a difficult father does not require accepting abuse,  but may require admitting that imperfect parents were often loving as well as they knew how. Kev talks about how Sylvester Stallone continues living the Rocky story, turning obstacles, rejection, and lost ownership into yet another achievement at nearly 80 and how the barriers blocking your path may ultimately create the story only you could tell. Then, how cognitive decline affects entire families, with love and prayers for Bob Backlund. Plus, the ultimate RGF houseguest rule: when visiting someone’s home how to make them cry when you leave, not celebrate your departure.Yasu, efcharistó, Bye Betches!

Hey, Heal Squad! We definitely wanted to keep the momentum going after Dhar Mann talked about burnout and living your authentic self, so today we are throwing it back to our conversation with Greg McKeown, New York Times Bestselling author for our throwback Thursday episode. Greg McKeown, New York Times Bestselling author of Essentialism & Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most teaches us  how overthinking leads to clutter and less mental energy, and emphasizes that we must declutter our brains. We discuss burnout and how there are only two types of people in the world right now, those who are burnt out and those who acknowledge they are burnt out. Greg gives us tools on how to spot burnout and teaches us that past a certain point, working harder leads to negative results...it’s not worth the burnout. We learned that through journaling, making our chores fun and giving them purpose, being more present and CHOOSING to take the lighter vs the heavier path we can all start to live a more effortless life. Greg teaches us that instead of saying “how can I work harder to get better results?” say “how can I achieve better results by making it more effortless?” We also discuss the power of having the ‘courage to be rubbish’ or not being held down by perfectionism, which is crucial to living more effortlessly. We hope this conversation inspires you!

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back for Part 2 with the one and only Dhar Mann, Forbes' #2 Creator, founder of Dhar Mann Studios, and host of the brand-new podcast What Happens Next: The Dhar Mann Podcast. Today our conversation really gets personal.   We get into the daily habits that keep him grounded and why his one true non-negotiable every morning has nothing to do with the latest wellness hacks. We also talk about why giving yourself grace isn't just good for your soul, it's scientifically proven to help you reach your goals faster. Dhar also shares what he believes God is really doing when life feels like it's falling apart, his go-to book list for every season of life (don’t worry we have it below!), and why being your most authentic self in every room is the real secret to not burning out and possibly, being one of the top creators in the world! Enjoy! The To-Do List vs. The To-Be List: Dhar shares the mindset shift that helped him stop chasing milestones and start appreciating the moments that truly make up a meaningful life. Grace Over Perfection: Why giving yourself grace isn't giving up, it's one of the most powerful tools for healing, resilience, and long-term success. The Burden Before the Blessing: From faith and purpose to fatherhood and daily habits, Dhar explains why life's greatest burdens often prepare us for our biggest breakthroughs and how to stay present while you're living through them.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, Maria is back in the studio with a very special guest: Dhar Mann. If his name doesn't ring a bell... just ask your kids…lol. Chances are, they've seen one (or a hundred!) of his videos. Dhar is the founder of Dhar Mann Studios, where his videos reach hundreds of millions of people every week. He's also Forbes' #2 Creator and the host of a brand-new podcast called What Happens Next: The Dhar Mann Podcast. But what fascinated us most wasn't how he built an empire….it was the journey that built him.  We talk about what it was like growing up feeling like he didn't belong, how hitting rock bottom at 30…broke, depressed, and just weeks away from eviction….became the turning point that changed his life, and why this one conversation he had with his young daughter has really changed the way he defines success. We also get into faith, purpose, learning to face your pain instead of running from it, and the role his wife Laura played in believing in him when he couldn't quite believe in himself. Whether you're feeling stuck, starting over, or just trying to figure out your next chapter, this conversation is such a beautiful reminder that your greatest setbacks don't have to define you, they might just be preparing you for what's next. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS The Conversation That Changed Everything: Dhar shares the heartfelt moment with his daughter that completely redefined how he measures success and what truly matters. Pain Can Become Purpose: From childhood rejection to rock bottom at 30, Dhar explains how learning to face pain and not avoid it, became the foundation of his life and career. Your Story Isn't Over: Dhar reveals why every setback is just another chapter, and why he believes you're often one opportunity away from your breakthrough.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, Maria is getting a lil’ personal and  sharing one of the biggest realizations she's had yet on her healing journey (and it's something so many of us can probably relate to!). After years of therapy, books, podcasts, retreats, and interviewing some of the world's leading health and wellness experts, Maria realized that the hardest part to her healing isn't doing the work...it's remembering everything you've learned when life knocks you down again. Today she shares how that realization inspired her to create what she now calls “Your Guide Back to You.” A place to keep all the lessons and breakthroughs  she never wants to forget. Maria explains how she’s come to realize that healing isn't about constantly reinventing yourself. That sometimes it's about slowing down long enough to reconnect with the person you were before life, fear, and everyone else's expectations got in the way. It's about noticing the patterns you keep repeating, understanding your triggers, and finding your way back to yourself. Maria also gives us a first look at the philosophy behind her upcoming Your Guide Back to You retreat at Canyon Ranch (link below to join!). All in all, we hope this conversation inspires you to spend a little time reconnecting with yourself this week and remembering your own wisdom whenever life throws you off course. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore why the opinions of strangers (and even the people we work alongside) can have so much power over us. Why can one dismissive comment or difficult interaction stay with us all day while a dozen acts of kindness fade into the background? We talk about the psychology behind our need for acceptance, exploring how our ancient survival instincts may still convince us that rejection is something to fear, even when it isn't. We talk about why some people simply aren't meant to travel the same road as us, why trying to help the wrong people can quietly drain our energy, and how learning to focus on those who truly share our values can change everything. We talk about how so many of the disappointments that once felt devastating ultimately became the very moments that redirected us toward a better path. Sometimes rejection isn't failure, it's protection. For a little Sunday Set Up Bonus, we get into  summer nostalgia, Fruit Stripe Gum, neighborhood ice cream trucks, Leon Day, and discount fireworks. This week, when someone else's attitude threatens your peace, ask yourself: Is this really about me... or am I carrying something that was never mine to begin with? And if one door closes, remember that some of life's greatest blessings begin with the word "no." Have a great week, Kweenz. We'll talk Shawtly.

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Friday and somehow, once again, we fooled them and made it through another week. This week, it's an RGF International Edition as Keven checks in from Greece, where a long flight becomes a conversation about travel, patience, kindness, and the little things that somehow drive us all crazy. We talk airplane etiquette, chatty seatmates, the people who refuse to close the window shade on a red-eye, and why the strangers testing our patience often end up reminding us to be a little more compassionate. We talk traveling lighter, lost luggage, disco parties in Greece, celebrity travel etiquette, and why sometimes the smartest travel strategy is to simply buy what you need when you get there. We talk Coke Light versus Diet Coke, Greek politics, Walmart fashion, barrel jeans, tomato sauce stains, and whether moving and grooving through life is better than trying to look perfect while doing it.

Hey Heal Squad! After this week's powerful conversation with Dave Coulier about navigating two cancer diagnoses, we wanted to bring back this inspiring Throwback Thursday episode with Kristin Bostrom. After being diagnosed with breast cancer that later spread throughout her body, including more than 150 brain tumors, Kristin refused to let fear define her future. She shares the mindset shifts that helped her move from victimhood to hope, why she believes healing starts with the way we speak to ourselves, and the life-changing realization that transformed her relationship with her body. Maria and Kristin also dive into the connection between stress, self-love, and healing, the power of changing old thought patterns, and why becoming an active participant in your own healing journey can change everything. Whether you're navigating your own health challenge or supporting someone who is, this conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn't just physical…it's emotional, mental, and deeply personal. We hope this conversation inspires you!

Hey Heal Squad! Today we're back with Full House's Dave Coulier (yes, Joey Gladstone himself)and this time he's really opening up about what he thinks may have contributed to not one, but two different cancers. Somewhere in the middle of treatment, Dave found himself asking a question most of us never think to ask until it's too late: what have I been exposing my body to, every single day? That one question sent him down a rabbit hole…. reading ingredient labels, questioning everything under his own sink, rethinking what's actually on his plate, and realizing how genuinely overwhelming it is to figure out what "healthy" even means anymore. He breaks it down into a simple 3-step framework for vetting what you bring into your home, and honestly, you'll want to hear exactly what it is. Dave also gets into the surprising products he swapped out first after his diagnosis, and why he believes reducing your toxic load doesn't require perfection,  just a few consistent, everyday swaps, which is exactly what led him to build AWEAR Market in the first place.And perhaps most powerfully, Dave gets candid about where he is today. Months after treatment ended, he opens up about the side effects he's still navigating from chronic throat pain and changes to his voice to the unexpected ways cancer continues to impact his body, his marriage, and everyday life. He also shares the incredible support that carried him through it all: his wife Melissa and the hockey community to the unforgettable day he learned he was cancer-free... the very same day his grandson was born.If you've ever wondered where to start on your own health journey, or what life after cancer really looks like, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Healthy Living Doesn't Have to Be All-or-Nothing: Dave shares why he and his wife Melissa live by the 80/20 rule, explaining how consistency, not perfection, has helped him build healthier habits that are realistic, sustainable, and guilt-free. Your Home Could Be Impacting Your Health More Than You Think: After cancer, Dave began questioning everything—from toothpaste and deodorant to food dyes, plastics, clothing, and household products. He shares the simple ingredient "red flags" he now looks for and the everyday swaps that helped him feel more in control of his health. The Side Effects Nobody Warns You About: Months after finishing treatment, Dave reveals the lingering effects of cancer—from chronic pain and difficulty eating to changes in his voice and intimacy—and why recovery doesn't end when the treatments do.

Hey Heal Squad! Today, we are so excited to welcome Full House star and comedian Dave Coulier to the podcast, and this is one of those conversations that will make you laugh, make you think, and maybe even change the way you look at your own health. Dave joins us to share an honest update on his health after being diagnosed with not one, but two completely different cancers in less than two years. He opens up about the emotional highs and lows of treatment, the side effects no one prepares you for, and why, through it all, he refused to let cancer take away his sense of humor. In fact, that outlook started long before his diagnosis with one of his closest friends, Bob Saget, whose dark humor helped teach Dave that sometimes laughter really is the best medicine. But this conversation goes far beyond cancer. Together, Maria and Dave get  into why so many of us wait until a health crisis to start paying attention to our bodies and why Dave now believes prevention—not panic—is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. Dave also shares how his diagnosis led him down a rabbit hole of questioning everything—from the food he was eating to the everyday products he was using. That journey eventually inspired AwearMarket, his new marketplace designed to take the guesswork out of finding healthier, less-toxic products for your home and family. One of the most surprising moments? Dave reveals that he had already started cleaning up his diet and reducing inflammation before his cancer diagnosis…which definitely helped his body fight the cancers. It's a powerful reminder that while we can't control everything, the healthy choices we make today are an investment in our future. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Laughter Really Can Be Medicine: Throughout two cancer diagnoses, Dave made one promise to himself: cancer would never take away his sense of humor. He opens up about how finding moments of joy can be just as important as treating the disease. Small Daily Choices Add Up Over Time: After asking himself, "Why did my body fail me?" Dave began questioning everything—from the foods he ate to the products he used every day. He explains why he believes long-term health is shaped by small, consistent choices and how making gradual changes today can have a lasting impact on your future One Cancer Diagnosis Sparked an Entirely New Mission: That search for answers ultimately inspired AwearMarket, his new marketplace dedicated to helping people make healthier, less-toxic choices without feeling overwhelmed.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore one of the most dangerous traps our minds can fall into: the need to be right. Sparked by a heartbreaking real-life tragedy, Keven examines why being wrong can feel like a threat to our very identity, and why our brains are often wired to defend our beliefs rather than seek the truth. We dive into the psychology of cognitive dissonance, the “backfire effect,” and why our egos often mistake disagreement for danger. Along the way, we explore Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and Carl Jung’s teachings to uncover why real transformation requires letting go of old certainties—and why that can feel so terrifying. We also discuss how careers, businesses, marriages, and friendships can all quietly crumble when pride takes the driver’s seat, and why humility isn’t weakness—it’s freedom. This week, before your next disagreement, ask yourself: Am I protecting my values… or my identity? Would I rather win the argument… or protect my peace? Because sometimes the greatest victory isn’t proving you’re right—it’s having the wisdom to walk away. Have a beautiful week, Kweenz. We’ll talk shawtly.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! It's our Fourth of July Extravaganza! Olivia Newton-John, Koala Blue, squatter videos, and a deep dive into the Declaration of Independence may just be the most Pot Luck way imaginable to celebrate America's 250th birffday. We talk celebrity branding before celebrity branding was even a thing, the surprising rise and fall of Olivia Newton-John's lifestyle empire, squatter laws, entitlement, and old-school cops. To properly ring in the Fourth of July, we turn to Paul Harvey's unforgettable account of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence and what they sacrificed, why the Bicentennial felt so special to so many of us, Flag Day, town picnics, and an America that somehow felt a little smaller and a little more connected. We talk Betsy Ross, the mystery of who really designed the American flag, VictimCon, two guys with baseball bats solving the world's problems, and The Great American Fourth of July and Other Disasters. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with old Hollywood, American history, Fourth of July nostalgia, and a reminder that some of the freedoms we celebrate came at a far greater cost than we often remember. We'll talk shawtly!

This week starts with a forgotten backpack... and somehow ends with one of the biggest conversations we've ever had about anger, entitlement, parenting, and why surviving today's world sometimes means swallowing your pride. We also get into how one shocking real-life murder of Anne's friend over a landlord dispute reminds us that not everyone is playing by the same rules anymore. Why expecting rational behavior from irrational people can be one of the biggest mistakes we make. And why winning an argument is becoming less and less worth it. Then we discuss, how growing up in Boston taught different rules about respect, consequences, and conflict. Why today's culture often rewards outrage over accountability. How **"paying the vig"—accepting a small loss to avoid a catastrophic one—** might be one of the smartest life strategies you'll ever adopt. Then the backpack. We talk about traveling light but always being prepared, surviving Hollywood, the increasing need to curb road rage, the Soup Nazi's surprisingly brilliant life lesson, raising kids who understand boundaries, why discipline can be one of the greatest forms of love, and why Kev is learning to say "no" to Athena. RGF Bonus: Joey Chestnut, Fourth of July traditions, squatter videos, Greek family cookouts, why Kev still carries a Mary Poppins backpack everywhere he goes, and why sometimes the bravest thing you can do... is quietly shuffle off to Buffalo.

Hey Heal Squad! After this week's conversation about GLP-1s, we wanted to bring back this Throwback Thursday episode because it offers a completely different perspective on weight loss. Maria sits down with Dr. Gary Foster, former Chief Scientific Officer at WW (WeightWatchers), to explore why lasting weight loss isn't just about what you eat, it's about how you think. Together, they unpack the mindset shifts that help people create sustainable habits, overcome shame, build self-compassion, and stop falling into the all-or-nothing cycle that keeps so many of us stuck. Maria also shares her own 40-pound weight loss journey, the simple strategies that helped her keep it off, and why focusing on small, consistent changes was far more powerful than chasing the next diet. Whether you're considering GLP-1s, already taking them, or simply looking for a healthier relationship with food, this episode is a powerful reminder that lasting change starts with your mindset!

Hey Heal Squad! We are back with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford from Harvard Medical School & Massachusetts General Hospital, and we are picking up right where we left off about GLP-1s. Dr. Fatima gets into the stuff people are most confused about. She explains why your body is literally wired to fight back every time you try to lose weight, and why that is not a personal failure. It is just biology. She also gets real about side effects (no sugarcoating here!)  and breaks down the very real risk of muscle loss on these medications, plus she shares the exact cardio-to-strength ratio she recommends for every decade of life. Yes, by decade.Then Maria finally asks the question the whole episode has been building toward...who is a GLP-1 actually for? Dr. Fatima answers it directly and also breaks down the difference between single, dual, and triple agonists — including a clinical trial showing nearly 30% total body weight loss that could change everything we know about treating obesity. And Patreon members, we have a bonus episode waiting for you! Dr. Fatima gets into something we did not cover in the main episodes: why you should think twice before ordering GLP-1s through Instagram. It’s worth a listen!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your Body Isn't Broken,  It's Doing Exactly What It Was Designed to Do: Dr. Fatima explains why the body defends its weight set point with everything it has. It isn't a failure of willpower. It is biology. Understanding this changes how you think about these medications. The Muscle Loss Nobody's Warning You About: GLP-1 medications can cause you to lose lean muscle — not just fat. Dr. Fatima breaks down the specific strength-to-cardio ratio she recommends for every decade of life. This is the practical guidance that should come with every prescription but rarely does. Obesity Is a Disease: Dr. Fatima  shares what it is like to be ridiculed and stigmatized for caring for patients with obesity and makes the case that the language we use around weight has real consequences for real people. It is a reminder that compassion and science are not mutually exclusive. They are both required.

Hey Heal Squad! If you've been confused, overwhelmed, or just a little skeptical about everything you're hearing about GLP-1 medications right now, ya might want to listen to this one! Today Maria sits down with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford. She is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, and one of fewer than 15 physicians in the entire country who has completed more than one year of fellowship training specifically in obesity medicine. Maria first met Dr. Fatima at a Patriots game in Boston, and what struck her wasn't just the credentials,  it was how differently she talked about weight, the human body, and the people she treats. Literally, this became a true eye-opening science conversation about the GLP-1 space. Dr. Fatima breaks down what a GLP-1 actually is, why fat is literally an organ in the body, how our brains regulate weight through specific biological pathways, and why genetics, circadian rhythm, trauma, and environment all play a role in why some people's bodies hold onto weight no matter what they do. Then the conversation took a turn that genuinely surprised us. Dr. Fatima reveals that GLP-1 receptors exist throughout the entire body (not just in the gut, like most of us think!). which is why these medications are already being approved for conditions far beyond weight loss. Take a listen, it’s a great conversation before you form any opinion. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS GLP-1s Are Not a Trend — They're a 20-Year Story: Dr. Fatima explains why they've been in development and clinical use for over two decades, and why the reason we're hearing about them now comes down to one thing — potency. The science didn't change. The strength finally caught up. Obesity Is a Disease, Not a Decision: One of the most powerful moments in this episode is when Dr. Fatima dismantles the idea that weight is simply about discipline. From genetics and brain signaling to circadian rhythm disruption and weight-promoting medications, she lays out the real biology behind why people carry excess weight.

Hey, Heal Squad! Hey, Heal Squad! Maria is back with another edition of What Worked This Week, and trust us—you'll want to keep a notes app handy for this one. First up, Maria shares the unexpected social hack she picked up during...of all places...a breast exam. Her doctor dropped a genius conversation starter for those awkward moments when you know one half of a couple really well—but not the other. It's simple, brilliant, and something you'll definitely use. Then, if you've got a job interview coming up, don't miss this. Maria shares three questions to ask at the end of an interview that can instantly help you stand out from the crowd. Next, let's talk about sleep. Maria took a two-hour nap and then had one of the best nights of sleep she's had in ages—all thanks to a pair of earplugs that let her fall asleep to the sound of her own heartbeat. Yep, really. We've linked them below so you can check them out for yourself. Another surprisingly helpful hack? Taking photos of everything in your wallet. Maria explains why she did it, how it can save you a major headache, and even how it helped her score a free month of a service. Then there's the birthday party planning. Maria put ChatGPT to work creating custom Western-themed signs for Athena's third birthday rodeo party, printed them at home for free, and saved a ton of money. She also shares all the fun details—from the incredible cake to the vintage shop finds that made the party extra special. And finally, Maria wraps things up with eight Albert Einstein quotes she came across on Instagram. The last one especially stuck with her: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." It's the perfect reminder—and the perfect way to close out the episode.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s Sunday Set Up—life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we challenge one of the biggest myths about fear: that it’s something to eliminate. What if it’s pointing you toward the very life you’re meant to live? Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s famous quote, “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek,” we explore why every great transformation begins with discomfort. We talk about the fears that quietly shape our lives—fear of failure, success, rejection, being exposed, setting boundaries, speaking the truth, or starting over—and what those fears may actually reveal about our deepest values and untapped potential. We even explore why spending money can create such a temporary emotional high, and what we may really be trying to buy beneath the purchase. This week, don’t ask, “How do I get rid of my fear?” Ask, “What is my fear trying to teach me?” Because maybe the doorway you’ve been avoiding is the one that leads to your greatest growth. Let fear ride shotgun—but don’t let it drive. Talk shawtly!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! The Match Game, Gene Rayburn's iconic microphone, and a longing for “what’s behind curtain number two” may just be the formation of: The Game Show Trivia Network.We talk Family Feud, Hollywood Squares, The Gong Show, Let's Make a Deal, Press Your Luck, and all the game shows that somehow became part of our childhoods. We talk about hosts, celebrities, and unforgettable moments that had families gathered around the television and why, in an era with only a handful of channels, these shows became part of our collective memory. We talk behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, stars who seemed to have it all but were often deeply unhappy, why some entertainers never recovered when the spotlight moved on, and the fascinating idea of "unaided awareness"—those rare personalities everyone somehow knows. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with old Hollywood, game shows, industry secrets, and Gene Rayburn's iconic microphone. Be sure to tune in next week to The Game Show Trivia Network. We'll talk shawtly!

It’s Friday and somehow, once again, we fooled them and made it through another week. This week, a cowboy-themed birthday party turns into talk about community, confidence, and the ways life keeps bringing us together. We talk about how the best parties aren’t really about the decorations—they’re about ice breaking, creating spaces where people feel seen, welcomed, and connected. We talk about the people who walk into a room already convinced they’re not enough and how so many of us carry old stories that no longer fit. We dig into the idea that if you want to change your reality, you might have to change your personality.  We talk about getting to the other side of the river, finding your people, and why being around like-minded souls can elevate everyone in the room. Also, how learning to stop recreating the past, getting comfortable with the unfamiliar is key and how the future starts with one different thought. We talk about how Adam West (aka Batman)  is the patron saint of confidence, the owner’s table, Italian goodbyes, why every party needs a theme, and confirmation that sometimes the answer isn’t another meditation—it’s getting some sun, some salt water, and a few good people around you. Happy Friday. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! This Throwback Thursday is a meaningful one. This week marks Athena's 3rd birthday, so we're bringing back the episode that tells the incredible story of how she came into our lives. Maria and Kev sit down with their surrogate, her husband, and the team who helped make their dream of becoming parents a reality. Together, they share the emotional highs and lows of the surrogacy journey, the lessons they learned about trust, faith, and letting go of fear, and the unexpected bond that formed between their two families along the way. They also discuss the realities of surrogacy, what intended parents and surrogates wish more people understood about the process, and how compassion, communication, and genuine human connection can transform the experience for everyone involved. Maria also opens up about receiving a shocking health diagnosis during the pregnancy and the perspective it gave her on family, gratitude, and what truly matters most. This episode is a powerful reminder that families are built in many different ways, and that sometimes life's greatest blessings arrive after its hardest chapters.!

Hey, Heal Squad! Kelly Rizzo is back today, and her story about the night her late husband, comedian and Full House icon Bob Saget, passed away continues. If you've ever lost someone you love, or you're trying to support someone who has, this conversation can help understand grief, trauma, and transformation on a deeper level. Kelly shares what happened the night Bob passed away unexpectedly, the phone calls that followed, the moment she received the news, and the surreal reality of waking up the next day in a world that no longer looked the same. She opens up about the small details she still remembers, the severe sore throat she was battling that suddenly disappeared, and the overwhelming realization: "This is my life now."But this conversation isn't just about loss. It's about what happened to Kelly's world after. She talks about the incredible support she received from Bob's family, the Full House cast, and the comedy community, as well as the perspective that completely changed the way she views grief. Rather than focusing on what was taken from her, Kelly shares why she chooses to focus on what she was lucky enough to have. We also get into something so many people are afraid to talk about: what happens when life keeps moving. How do you walk into his closet when he's no longer there? And how do you give yourself permission to love again? Kelly opens up about dating after loss, her relationship with Breckin Meyer, and the realization that helped her make room for both grief and happiness in the same life.Whether you're grieving a spouse, a parent, a friend, or simply navigating a season of profound change, this episode is filled with wisdom, hope, and the reminder that you're not alone.  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Grief Changes You—But It Doesn't Have To Define You: Kelly shares that the hardest part wasn't just losing Bob—it was figuring out who she was afterward. Grief may become part of your story, but it doesn't have to become your entire identity. Focus On What Was Given, Not Just What Was Taken: One of the most powerful lessons Kelly learned after Bob's passing was that perspective matters. When we can shift our focus from what we lost to what we were lucky enough to have, healing becomes possible. Love Doesn't End When Someone Is Gone: Kelly's journey reminds us that moving forward doesn't mean leaving someone behind. Love can exist in memory, in gratitude, and even alongside new chapters we never thought we'd have the courage to begin.

Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever wondered how people find the strength to keep going after life completely changes, this episode is for you. Today, Maria sits down with Kelly Rizzo…multimedia personality, founder of Eat Travel Rock, and host of the Comfort Food podcast. Many of you may also know Kelly as the wife of the late Bob Saget, the beloved comedian and Full House icon who passed away unexpectedly in 2022.What started as a conversation about coffee (yes, Maria and Kelly compare their favorite coffee orders!) quickly turned into a powerful discussion about purpose, love, resilience, and what happens when life doesn't go according to plan. Before Kelly became a voice for people navigating grief, she was rebuilding her own life… spending more than a decade chasing her passions for food, travel, and music—often questioning whether she should keep going. Kelly shares why success isn't about followers, fame, or going viral. It's about passion, consistency, patience, and building something meaningful one step at a time. Then we get into the love story. Kelly shares how Bob first slid into her DMs, why she initially resisted dating him, and how he spent four nights winning over not just her—but her entire friend group. In classic Bob fashion, he even brought John Mayer along on one of their early dates to help give Kelly the official stamp of approval. It's funny, sweet, unexpected, and a side of Bob that most people never got to see. Kelly also opens up about the relationship they built together, why she believes Bob had finally found the love he had been searching for, and the moments that made their marriage so special. And just before we pause for Part 2, Kelly shares the beginning of the story that changed everything—the final night she spoke to Bob, an eerie connection to an episode of And Just Like That, and the feeling that something wasn't quite right. We'll leave it there for now. But in all honesty, this is a beautiful conversation about taking chances on love, trusting your path, and remembering what truly matters. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS When Life Falls Apart, A New Life Begins: Kelly never planned to become a voice for people navigating grief. But her story is proof that sometimes the biggest detours end up leading us exactly where we're supposed to go. Slow Growth Builds Lasting Success: Kelly spent more than a decade creating content, chasing opportunities, and trusting her passions without any guarantee it would pay off. Her story is a reminder that meaningful success is usually built slowly, one consistent step at a time. The Right Person May Not Be Who You Expected: Kelly never imagined she'd end up falling in love with Bob Saget. Their story is a reminder that love doesn't always fit the picture we've created in our minds—and sometimes the greatest relationships begin when we stop trying to control the outcome.

Hey Heal Squad! Now, we know you all love Maria's recommendations on what's working for her each week, and don't worry…she's got a few of those for you today. But this episode goes a little deeper than products, trends, and wellness hacks. This week, Maria shares something that genuinely worked for her, and it came in the form of a powerful Bruce Lee quote that completely shifted how she's thinking about peace, forgiveness, boundaries, and where we choose to put our energy. (Trust us, you're going to want to save this one, it's below!). She also opens up about a family wedding she recently attended and how reconnecting with relatives she hasn't spent meaningful time with in decades unexpectedly filled her cup in the best way. That leads to a really honest conversation about forgiveness, family healing, and how letting go doesn't have to mean giving someone unlimited access to your life. We get into all of it.Of course, we also take a detour into a very unexpected rabbit hole: foot health. Is anyone else suddenly terrified of getting bunions? Just us? Maria shares why she's rethinking nearly every shoe in her closet and the surprising things she's learning about foot health along the way.And yes, there are products! Maria shares her newest obsession: a pair of jeans from White House Black Market that she can't stop wearing. (FYI: the cream pair is sold out, but we've got an alternative for you below!) Plus, a plot twist….one of her favorite kitchen gadgets, the one responsible for all those homemade nut milks, officially stopped working, and Athena’s big girl chats! Yeah, it's been a very emotional week lol. A little wellness, a little shopping, a little family healing, and a lot of perspective. We hope you enjoy this one, friends!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we're talking about a list most of us never make—and why it may be more important than the one we look at every day. The To-Done List. Most of us live inside our To-Do Lists. Pay the bills. Lose the weight. Build the business. Raise the kids. Heal the trauma. Get healthier. Get organized. Get somewhere. The problem? The list never ends. And because the list never ends, neither does the feeling that we're behind. But science tells us something fascinating: the human brain wasn't designed for gratitude. It was designed for survival. Researchers call it negativity bias. Our brains naturally give more attention, more memory space, and more emotional weight to problems, criticism, and unfinished business than to accomplishments, victories, or progress. In fact, studies show negative experiences can have three to five times more psychological impact than positive ones. Which means many of us are walking around forgetting the mountains we've already climbed while obsessing over the next one. This week, we explore why builders, caregivers, achievers, and over-givers are especially vulnerable to what Keven calls "achievement amnesia"—the tendency to forget what you've survived, built, contributed, and overcome. Most importantly, we introduce a simple but powerful practice: creating a To-Done List. A record not of what still needs fixing, but of what you've already done. What you've survived. Who you've helped. What you've learned. What you've carried. What you've become. Because maybe the problem isn't that you're behind. Maybe you've simply spent too much time staring at your To-Do List and not enough time honoring your To-Done List. This week, become the historian of your own life.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! This week we kick things off with an important discussion over potluck food—from Welsh Rarebit and three-layer dip to Jell-O molds, Midwest casseroles, and all the dishes that somehow keep being served up. Then we talk Animal House, Pizza Movie, college memories, and the Kev and Anne true college tale of "The Barn"—how a group of college misfits went hat in hand, got overlooked, and ultimately created the house everyone wanted to be at. It's rebellion, leadership, unlikely friendships, and why outsiders don't always stay on the outside. We talk movie critics who got it wrong, the friendships that stand the test of time, why some people seem destined to challenge the system, and how sometimes the best communities are built by the people no one expected to succeed. It's a Pot Luck Saturday, so expect plenty of nostalgia, pop culture, questionable party food, college antics, and a discussion that is somehow completely potluck. We’ll Talk Shawtly.

Happy Regular Guy Friday! On this RGF-lite we talk what it really means to be "average"—and whether average is something we should be trying so hard to avoid in the first place. We talk growing up in a world that celebrates valedictorians and high achievers, while often overlooking the people who simply show up, work hard, and live good lives. How the tortoise sometimes catches the hare, why effort can matter more than natural talent, and whether being "AVG" might not be the insult we think it is. We talk the summers of the '80s—blockbuster movies, miniature golf, and a driver's license were enough to make life feel full. How those simpler moments shaped us, and why they still have a way of bringing us back. We talk hoarder houses, work ethic, the Founding Fathers, Back to the Future, methheads with hearts of gold, and why maybe life isn't about being the smartest person in the room—it's about showing up, staying curious, and keeping a sense of humor along the way.

Hey Heal Squad! After this week's conversation with Dr. Nasim Afsar about taking an active role in your health, we knew we had to bring back this episode. Because if there's one message Maria has learned through every health challenge she's faced, it's this: you have to become the CEO of your own health. In this powerful solo episode, Maria shares the mindset shifts that transformed her approach to healing, from finding the right practitioners and exploring naturopathic medicine to tracking symptoms, asking better questions, and learning how to advocate for herself. She also explains why keeping a health journal can be one of the most valuable tools in your healing journey and how small clues from your body can reveal a much bigger picture. This conversation is full of practical advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed, dismissed, or stuck when it comes to their health. If you've ever wondered how to take more control of your healing journey, ask better questions, and become a stronger advocate for yourself, this episode is for you!

Hey, Heal Squad! Today the conversation continues with Dr. Nasim Afsar -  author of Intelligent Health, a board-certified physician and the former Chief Health Officer at Oracle. Yesterday we talked about why the healthcare system is letting you down, well today, is all about what you can do about it. We start where so many of you have been stuck: the insurance question. To have it, or not to have it?  Dr. Nasim gives us the rule that finally makes sense. Then she tells a story about HERSELF — yes, a top physician — calling her own doctor about a cough and being told the next available appointment was four months out. Even DOCTORS are stuck in this nightmare. Wait until you hear what she did instead. We also get into the EXACT way to track a weird new symptom so that when you finally get into the appointment, you don't waste a single second. We unpack who's actually on your care team, and why NPs and PAs can do way more for you than you've been led to believe, including in primary care. Dr. Nasim walks us through who to ask for, when, and why. But perhaps the biggest takeaway? Being the CEO of your own health isn't just a mindset—it's a responsibility. Because no matter how advanced technology becomes, nobody knows your body better than you do. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Be the CEO of your health. Here's the playbook: Leverage AI to see your full picture, save insurance for catastrophe,  not the everyday, book NPs and PAs to be seen THIS WEEK, track every symptom like evidence, trust your judgment. The Self-Advocacy Reset: You are not dramatic. You are not 'a difficult patient.' You are the CEO of your health. And the moment you start shrinking in front of a doctor,  that is the moment to stop and ask: would a good CEO accept this? The Care Team Unlock: Your care team is bigger than you knew. NPs, PAs, virtual practitioners, specialists — they can diagnose you, treat you, prescribe for you, AND see you THIS WEEK. Stop waiting four months for the only door you knew about.

Hey Heal Squad! Today's episode is for every single one of you who has ever called the doctor because something felt off…whether it was a new symptom, a nagging health concern, or you just needed answers…only to be told the next available appointment is weeks, or even months away. We've all been there, and it's beyond frustrating.That's why we're sitting down with Dr. Nasim Afsar, board-certified physician, former Chief Health Officer at Oracle, and author of the brand-new book Intelligent Health. In this conversation, she shares a statistic that completely stopped us in our tracks: only about 20% of your health is determined by what happens inside the doctor's office. The other 80% comes from your sleep, stress, food, environment, habits, and the everyday choices you make without even realizing it.Dr. Nasim explains what it really means to become the CEO of your own health, why the healthcare system isn't set up to see the full picture of who you are, and how AI could help us connect the dots in ways we've never been able to before.This episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about healthcare, and leave you feeling empowered to take a much bigger role in your own health journey. Like Maria always says, we truly have to be the CEO of our own health! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You are the CEO of your health—don't hand over decisions you should be making yourself: Too many people assume the doctor, the hospital,or even AI will connect all the dots for them. But nobody knows your body and your history better than you do.  Only 20% of your health happens at the doctor. The other 80% is in your hands: The biggest drivers of your health are often the things happening every day: your sleep, stress, food, movement, environment, relationships, and habits.  Use AI to ask better questions—but never let it replace your judgment:Let AI help you become more informed, but remember: technology should support your decisions, not make them for you.

Hey Heal Squad! Ok so Maria is officially 48, fresh off her 48th birthday celebration and she’s got all the deets about what worked for that and more things that worked this week!  Maria tells us all about her last-minute karaoke party—including the celebrity performance nobody saw coming, her go-to hostess philosophy, and the party hacks that made the night unforgettable. She also gets into a little tease for Athena’s birthday party (let’s just say ponies may or may not be involved!).But that’s not all! In this quick Heal Squad catch-up, Maria also talks about a recent swim safety and CPR course that completely changed the way she thinks about pool safety. From the surprising drowning statistics every parent should know to the one poolside tool that could save a life. Finally, something that works every week: gratitude! Maria talks about her immense gratitude for all the messages and prayers she received for her birthday. It’s just a reminder that connection and love outweighs most of the material things we constantly obsess over and that really what matters in this life are the people you bring into it. Hope you love this quickie Heal Squad! Enjoy!

Most people think people pleasers are weak. But what if the biggest people pleasers are often the most successful people in the room? This week Kev explores the Successful Pleaser — the builder, provider, parent, entrepreneur, and problem-solver whose achievements may actually be masking a lifelong need to earn love, approval, safety, or worth. We get into how success can become emotional armor and  how some people become "human infrastructure" — the one everyone depends on. We talk about how many high achievers quietly bounce between shame ("I should have done more") and resentment ("Does anybody see what I've carried?") and how losing money often hurts less because of the money and more because of the effort, sacrifice, and identity attached to it. And maybe the real fear isn't failure — it's irrelevance. And most importantly, how healing doesn't mean stopping the giving. It means giving from fullness instead of proving. And we’ve got a Sunday Set Up Bonus! A deep discussion on college life and Hulu's the Pizza Movie. This is a perfect  Sunday Set-Up for the achievers, overgivers, and workhorses who always carry everyone else — and are finally asking whether they themselves deserve support 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host 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 Pot Luck Saturday with Kev and Kels!  This week Kelsey and Keven dive into how success, fame, entertainment, and even everyday life have changed in a world where everyone has a platform. They discuss how the Tony's and the music industry has evolved from the days of Madonna, Michael Jackson, and superstar culture to today’s creator economy, where it’s easier than ever to launch a career—but harder than ever to stand out.  Are the true artists gone, why talent today is a given  and how our obsession with celebrities may be mocked in years to come. Then some really big deep questions: Do you remember who you were vs. do you even know who you are? And, why choices should be rewarded over rewarding talent.It's a Pot Luck Saturday and Kev and Kelsey are serving up the usual mish mash!   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/host 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 Lonely Guy Friday. What if many of the struggles we face aren't character flaws at all — but simply different levels of consciousness we move through during our lives? This week Kev explores Dr. David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness from Power vs. Force — a framework designed to help us identify where we're operating emotionally and how those states may shape our decisions, relationships, health, happiness, and sense of purpose. We get into how shame says "I am bad," while guilt says "I should have done more," fear says "something bad is coming," and desire says "I'll be okay when." We explore how many successful overgivers quietly bounce between shame, guilt, fear, desire, anger, and pride while looking accomplished from the outside. Then, how the map isn't about judging yourself — it's about gaining awareness so you can recognize where you are and where you might want to grow. Kev also discusses how anger may not be regression at all — it may be the first sign you're finally waking up, and how courage becomes the critical turning point where healing begins and growth becomes possible. After that, how neutrality, willingness, and acceptance may be some of the most underrated emotional states in modern life and reason can explain life without necessarily healing it. Also, we talk about how love differs from attachment, why joy may be closer than we think, and why peace often arrives not when we control life, but when we stop fighting reality. Most importantly, how understanding these levels can help us recognize our patterns, navigate difficult seasons with more compassion, and avoid mistaking temporary emotional states for permanent truths. Plus: the surprisingly impressive $66 Amazon "econo-suit," outfit changes at cowboy-themed kid birthday parties, and other out-of-the-box gift ideas for dads!

Hey Heal Squad! After yesterday’s Mind-Body Healing Panel episode, we knew we had to bring back this conversation with Anthony DiSalvo! Anthony joined us at the Heal Squad Day of Reset and shared some incredible insights on acupressure, but this episode takes the conversation even further. Anthony is a board-certified acupuncturist and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who has helped countless people find relief from everything from stress and anxiety to vertigo, nausea, chronic pain, digestive issues, and more. In this episode, he breaks down how acupuncture and acupressure actually work, why certain points in the body can create powerful shifts almost instantly, and simple techniques you can start using on yourself right away. Anthony walks through several acupressure points step-by-step. If you'd like to follow along visually and try them yourself, be sure to watch the episode on YouTube as well, linked below!

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with another special episode recorded LIVE from the Heal Squad Day of Reset, and today we're sharing one of the most powerful conversations of the entire event: our Mind-Body Reset Panel. Maria brought together three of her favorite healers and trusted Heal Squad experts to explore what healing really means—and what we can do right now to help reset an overwhelmed nervous system. Psychotherapist and trauma expert Tammy Valicenti explains why healing starts by understanding the stories, patterns, and protective behaviors driving our stress and anxiety. Holistic health practitioner and Regenerative Pathway Therapy creator Gabby Piccirilli shares simple techniques to help regulate the nervous system in real time and reconnect with the body's natural healing abilities. And traditional Chinese medicine physician Anthony DiSalvo reveals the acupressure practices he uses to help people manage anxiety, tension, pain, and overwhelm.Together, they explore how to recognize when you're stuck in survival mode, why your symptoms may be trying to tell you something, and the small daily practices that can help you feel calmer, safer, and more connected to your body.The best part? Many of these tools are simple, free, and available to you anytime you need them.We hope you enjoy this special LIVE conversation from the Heal Squad Day of Reset! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your nervous system may be running the show more than you realize. Anxiety, brain fog, jaw clenching, digestive issues, fatigue, and feeling constantly overwhelmed aren't random,...they can all be signs that your body is stuck in survival mode. Healing starts with awareness, not perfection. Whether it's recognizing the thoughts driving your stress, understanding the emotions stored in your body, or learning to listen to your symptoms differently, every healer on this panel agreed that lasting healing begins by paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you. The most powerful healing tools are often the simplest. From EMDR and nervous system regulation techniques to acupressure points and breathwork, this conversation proves that helping your body feel safe doesn't always require expensive treatments—sometimes small daily practices can create the biggest shifts.

Hey, Heal Squad! Kweens, we did it! Today, we are bringing you our first ever LIVE episode with the one and only  Jenny McCarthy. Jenny joined us at our Heal Squad Day of Reset, on the beach on Cape Cod in front of 200+ of our people, and Jenny McCarthy gave us everything. Raw, real, and wildly relatable! So, if you thought you knew Jenny's story, this conversation goes deeper. Yes, she spent years fighting to heal her son Evan from autism — and yes, it worked — but what she didn't talk about enough is what that fight cost her body. After years of trying to heal him, a divorce, and being publicly dragged by the media, her health finally hit a wall. We get into that along with what her health and healing looks like now. From leg cramps so excruciating to her mold poisoning that made a comeback… Jenny and Maria even get into their “health anxiety.” Ya know,  the obsessive lab-pulling, the doomsday scrolling, the “I have to figure this out right now or I'm going to get cancer” spiral. Jenny's in it. Maria's in it. We discuss it! Jenny even tells us what has been helping to get her body back on track and what is helping her nervous system. Jenny drops specific protocols for mold detox (including EBOO therapy, BEG spray, and Biocidin), shares why infrared sauna might be the one non-negotiable she credits for keeping her alive, and gives us a sneak peek into the plasma exchange she's about to try. Plus, there's a moment about fruit wax that stopped the entire audience cold. You'll never look at "organic" produce the same way again. This episode is funny, honest, a little chaotic, but is truly what Heal Squad is about — healing and doing this together, in the open, with nothing to hide. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You Can't Heal With a Wrecked Nervous System:Healing isn't a sprint,  even Jenny’s son, Evan took years. Remember, the  urgency to heal faster is actually slowing you down. Jenny's been pouring 10-12 hours a day into protocols, but the panic and impatience driving it is dysregulating the very system she's trying to repair. Mold Is Sneakier Than You Think — And It Will Find You Again Mold isn't just something you smell or see. Sometimes it can come from an exposure a decade ago. Jenny cleared it, then re-exposed herself from a washing machine. One sniff, one relapse. Know the signs — and check the rubber seal on your washer.  Sweat Is Non-Negotiable: If Jenny could pick one thing to heal the world, it's the infrared sauna. Twenty-five years of sweating is what she credits for still standing. In a toxic world, your skin is your biggest detox organ — use it.

Hey Heal Squad! Guess What?!! It’s Maria’s Birthday! And for a special treat - she’s got so many fun travel, lifestyle, beauty, and wellness hacks in this week's What Worked This Week (just in time for summer!) Maria is sharing the small but powerful shifts that are helping her stay organized, simplify her routines, and create more peace in her everyday life. First up: a travel hack she swears by that could completely change the way you fly. Maria explains why buying an extra seat—or even an entire row—might be worth considering for your nervous system, especially when traveling with kids, recovering from an injury, or simply wanting a little more space and peace. Below, we have the exact steps to a “Third Seat of Peace" strategy. We also dive into one of the easiest health upgrades you can make today: swapping out synthetic fabrics for natural ones, starting with your underwear. Think about it: the clothes closest to your body matter most. Maria shares her favorite organic brands and why she's become much more mindful about everyday chemical exposure. Plus, she's revealing the clean beauty products she's currently loving, why she's moved away from heavy makeup, and the surprising lesson she learned after challenging herself to wear less.But the biggest takeaway from this episode isn't about travel, fashion, or beauty…it's about simplifying. Maria opens up about how streamlining her routines and eliminating unnecessary decisions has given her more time for the things she values most: her family, her health, movement, nature, and being present! Step-by-Step Extra Seat Travel Hack To properly book an extra seat and prevent it from being reassigned Book the extra seat under the same reservation as your ticket.• The seat should be ticketed as an "Extra Seat" (often labeled EXST) Make sure the airline has linked the extra seat to your reservation before travel Confirm the reservation before your flight to ensure the seat remains assigned to you.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. Today, we explore one of the most powerful truths in healing: the moment you realize you're not the only one, something inside you begins to change. We talk about why shame thrives in secrecy, silence, and isolation—and why hearing someone else tell your exact story can be more healing than any advice, breakthrough, or solution. From recovery groups to therapy circles to the incredible connections made at our Day of Reset, we explore how shared experiences help calm the nervous system, reduce emotional suffering, and remind us that being human means struggling sometimes. Anxiety, grief, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, relationship challenges, feeling behind in life—so many of the things we carry in silence are far more common than we think. We also discuss the growing loneliness epidemic, why connection is actually biological, and how community doesn't necessarily solve our problems—but often removes the isolation surrounding them. Because sometimes the most healing words you'll ever hear aren't "I can fix it." They're simply: "Me too." This week, ask yourself: Where am I believing I'm the only one? What am I carrying in silence? And who might need to hear my honesty so they can stop feeling alone too? Remember, Kweenz: healing doesn't always come from finding the answer. Sometimes it comes from discovering you're not the only one asking the question. Have a beautiful week. We'll talk shawtly!

Welcome to another Potluck Saturday! This week we get into Netflix's The Crash and the tragedy at the center of it. We dive deep into the dark side of Kween Culture. We talk about social media validation, instant gratification, the inability to hear the word "no," and what happens when a generation is raised to believe every feeling deserves immediate action and every desire deserves immediate fulfillment. We talk about whether The Crash is really about one girl—or whether it's a reflection of a much larger cultural shift. How boundaries, responsibility, purpose, and consequences may be disappearing from modern life. How work, struggle, and having something meaningful to strive for might be more important than we realize. And why having everything you want doesn't necessarily make you happy—it might actually leave you bored, restless, and looking for the next dopamine hit. Plus… SPOILER ALERT! on The Pizza Movie which may just be the greatest  movie ever made. Talk Shawtly!

Happy Lonely Guy Friday (with a little Regular Guy Friday mixed in when Kelsey joins Kev later in the  'progrim')! Today, Kev explores why so many of our core beliefs are formed before we're even teenagers—and why changing them later in life (like 35-55) can feel so difficult. He breaks down how researchers think every generation thinks they've changed a lot in the past decade but won't change much in the next one - and why it's a lie. Plus, why nearly half of what we do every day is driven by habit, the real reason personal growth stalls, and why self-awareness—not more information—is often the key to transformation. Kev shares why major life events, identity shifts, and even heartbreak can become powerful catalysts for change, and why lasting growth comes from repetition, not one big breakthrough. He also dives into how survival mode can make us forget the lessons we've already learned, why we all need periodic emotional tune-ups, and how the right community can help us become the people we're trying to be. We also tackle  multitasking, people-pleasing, and how constantly putting everyone else first may be getting in the way of your biggest dreams. Then a discussion on one of life's most pressing questions: what's the difference between the people at the Oscars, Emmys, and Tonys? Bye Betches.

Hey Heal Squad! On Monday’s show, Maria mentioned this conversation and we knew we had to bring it back. This Throwback Thursday episode with Lauren Roxburgh completely changed the way we think about healing, stress, trauma, and the body. Lauren is a renowned fascia expert, movement therapist, and bestselling author who breaks down the fascinating connection between fascia, the nervous system, stored emotions, and overall health. She explains how trauma, stress, and even the emotions we think we've "moved on from" can get stored in the body, why so many of us are stuck in fight-or-flight without realizing it, and what it actually takes to release those patterns and feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to ourselves. Maria and Lauren also dive into the pelvic floor, the mind-body connection, intuition, and why healing isn't just about thinking differently, it's about feeling differently. This episode is packed with insights you'll be thinking about long after it ends!

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our chat with TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie.  After years of depression and feeling disconnected from himself, Blake realized something surprising: the life he had built no longer matched the person he really was. In this conversation, he shares the exercise that helped him identify where he was living out of alignment, why he traded a lifestyle that looked successful on paper for one that actually felt authentic, and how learning to stop performing for the world helped him reconnect with himself. Maria and Blake also get into one of the biggest questions we should all be asking ourselves: Are we living the life we truly want—or the life we think we're supposed to want? Together, they talk about why turning 40 can be the perfect time to reevaluate everything, from where you live and who you surround yourself with to how you define success, happiness, and purpose. You'll also hear some of the lighter moments from Blake's healing journey—including the story behind his new "You Are Enough" tattoo, why Matthew McConaughey challenged him to take himself out on a solo dinner date, and the simple practices that help keep him grounded today.This episode is packed with 5 daily practices to build a life that feels like yours.  They also dive into the lessons Blake is learning from guests on his new podcast No Magic Pill, the daily practices that keep him grounded, and his new movement We Are ENOUGH. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS 5 ways to live in alignment with who you really are. Use an alignment journaling exercise, take yourself out to dinner, establish a morning routine, wear a daily reminder (bracelet, tattoo, object you can see), repeat the "I am enough" mantra meditation Loneliness at the top isn't about success—it's about disconnection. The more we perform for validation, the less connected we become to ourselves and the people around us. Healing often requires rebuilding. From where you live to who you spend time with, Blake explains why real transformation sometimes means having the courage to start over.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS Shoes…ya know… the company that helped change social entrepreneurship forever! Blake built TOMS into a global movement... giving 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need and helping create the "buy one, give one" model that reshaped how a generation thinks about business. From the outside, it looked like he had it all, but behind the scenes, Blake was quietly battling depression. He was disconnected from his purpose, and forced to confront a painful truth: even after achieving everything he thought would make him happy, he still didn't feel enough. At his lowest point, he came close to ending his life. In this incredibly honest conversation with Maria , Blake opens up about the hidden pressure of success and why so many high achievers tie their self-worth to what they accomplish. He shares how dark things became, the moment he realized he needed help, and the surprising practice that helped him begin to rewire decades of negative beliefs and start healing from the inside out. Maria and Blake also explore a concept that will stay with you long after this episode ends: the difference between performing and truly connecting. Together, they unpack why success can sometimes leave us feeling more disconnected than ever, how to recognize when you're chasing validation instead of fulfillment, and why so many people quietly struggle with purpose, identity, and feeling "not enough." They also touch on Blake's new movement, We Are ENOUGH, his mission to support mental health, and what he's learning through the vulnerable conversations he's having on his new podcast, No Magic Pill. This is one of the most honest conversations we've had about depression, so please listen with care. And remember,  if you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can never do enough to be enough. It has to come from within: Healing began when Blake stopped trying to earn his worth through accomplishments and started believing he was already worthy. Ask yourself: Am I connecting or am I performing?: One of Blake's biggest breakthroughs was recognizing that genuine connection gives him energy, while constantly performing for others leaves him depleted. Success can become a coping mechanism. Blake realized that achievement, money, impact, and recognition were never going to heal the deeper belief that he wasn't enough.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another (insert jingle!) -What Worked This Week! And honestly today is all about the little things that unexpectedly made a big difference…and some may surprise you! First up: the clean perfume that's bringing fragrance back into Maria's life. After giving it up (hello toxins!) Maria found Michelle Pfiffer’s brand - Henry Rose - and it's totally working and totally clean! Then, a confession that may shock anyone who loves a fresh manicure: Maria has been nail polish-free for over a year. The reason why? Well, it’s  about way more than beauty and she's convinced it's given her back time, money, and healthier nails. Also on the list: "slow pees." Yes, really. Our conversation with pelvic floor expert -Sarah Reardon completely changed the way Maria thinks about bathroom habits, and the results have been surprisingly life-changing. Bonus! Kev makes a surprise appearance to answer a very important pee-related question. Next, if you're a parent (or know someone who is! ), Maria shares the simple car organization hack she wishes someone had told her years ago—one that instantly eliminated the giant, overstuffed diaper bag struggle. Plus, party-hosting centerpiece shortcuts you'll want to steal immediately and finally, Maria opens up about her “abundance prayer” that's been transforming her mindset, helping her navigate challenges, and leading to some truly undeniable moments she says she can't ignore. The conversation even sparks a bigger question: Should Heal Squad launch a faith-based Sunday show? Let us know friends and enjoy this one!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we’re talking about the hidden exhaustion that comes from being “the strong one” — the builder, the fixer, the overgiver, the person everyone quietly depends on until one day you realize no one sees how much you’ve actually been carrying. We explore the emotional swing so many high-functioning people live inside: the shame of feeling like you haven’t done enough… followed by the resentment of knowing how much you actually have done. The ache of wondering if your sacrifices mattered. The exhaustion of being useful to everyone while secretly feeling unseen yourself. We talk about caregivers, creatives, entrepreneurs, parents, and “builders with no boundaries” — people who learned to earn love, safety, and worth through usefulness. And what happens when over-functioning stops bringing fulfillment, acknowledgment, or peace. This week’s Sunday Set Up is about understanding that resentment is often grief wearing armor. Grief for unseen effort, unmet needs, unreturned loyalty, and the version of yourself that got abandoned while trying to hold everything together. We discuss why disappearing can sometimes feel easier than asking for help, setting boundaries, slowing down, or rebuilding life differently — and why there are healthier ways forward. Remember, your worth is not measured solely by what you produce, fix, or carry for others. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to need. You are allowed to matter too. Have a beautiful week, Heal Squad.

This week on Potluck Saturday, Kev explores the deeper meaning behind some of music’s greats! Using Bob Dylan's infamous decision to go electric as a jumping-off point, he examines why growth, reinvention, healing, authenticity, and setting boundaries often come with an unexpected cost: upsetting the people around you. Why the world can love you—right up until you stop being who they emotionally needed you to be. And why constantly managing other people's expectations can become one of the most exhausting jobs you'll ever have. Kev also contrasts Dylan's story with Elvis's, looking at how one man seemed willing to be misunderstood while the other became trapped inside an image he could never escape. Along the way, he unpacks the hidden dangers of people-pleasing, over-performing, and carrying everyone else's emotional needs while slowly losing touch with your own. The conversation expands into where social media has turned many of us into our own public relations teams—branding, filtering, curating, and performing carefully crafted versions of ourselves for approval. Why so many people aren't really living anymore—they're managing perception. Why success, visibility, and admiration don't heal old wounds, but often magnify them. And why burnout happens when your soul and your role stop matching. Plus, a reflection on the fine line between selfishness and self-protection, why loved ones can sometimes resist the version of you that finally becomes free, and how it's possible to become so loved publicly that you quietly disappear privately. Most importantly, Kev explores the idea that the goal isn't perfection. In a world obsessed with flawless images and certainty, real growth comes from embracing contradiction, integrating your flaws, doing the shadow work, and allowing yourself to evolve. Because maybe the real achievement isn't becoming untouchable—it's becoming fully human.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, today Kev explores why losing money on a sale, a possession, or even giving something away can feel like losing a piece of yourself. For builders, caretakers, providers, and anyone who's spent years holding it all together, possessions often become more than objects—they become containers for memories, sacrifice, hard work, and identity. That's why some transactions aren't really financial at all. They're emotional. They're energetic. Kev also unpacks why taking a loss can trigger so much guilt, especially for people who were taught to see every setback as a personal failure. He dives into the psychic weight objects can carry, the hidden cost of holding on too tightly, and why clinging to the past can quietly stall momentum, growth, and even your future. Along the way, he reflects on a powerful truth: sometimes losing money is actually buying peace, mobility, closure, dignity, and emotional freedom. Sometimes the sale isn't about profit—it's about release. Plus, why healing often begins with letting go of old clothes, furniture, storage units, unfinished projects, outdated identities, and long-held resentments. Why the nervous system may scream, "You failed," while something deeper whispers, "Finally... movement." And how life isn’t accounting software — and sometimes the thing that looked expensive becomes liberation. How the real value may not be what you got back financially… but what the release allowed back into your life Bye Betches — and we'll talk shortly.

Hey Heal Squad! This Throwback Thursday episode with Maha Abouelenein is full of the kind of advice that makes you rethink the way you approach work, success, relationships, and even hard seasons in life. Maha, a global communications strategist who’s worked with brands like Google and Netflix,  breaks down why creating value for others will always take you further than ego, titles, or chasing quick success. Maria, Kev, and Maha get into work ethic, humility, resilience, caregiving, and the mindset shifts that helped Maha build an incredible career while also caring for both of her parents through MS and ALS. They talk about how to stop letting your ego block opportunities, why the “small things” are often the big things, how to become someone people trust and remember, and what it actually means to be self-reliant without trying to do everything alone. This episode will challenge the way you think about success, purpose, leadership, and what you’re truly capable of when life asks more of you than you ever expected!

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Brooke Tyalor, author of the new book,Healing the Success Wound, and while yesterday was  the diagnosis, today's episode is the prescription. Brooke is giving us the actual framework to heal our success wounds, the 4 levels you have to work through (emotional, mental, behavioral, and spiritual) and the 3 pillars to redefine success on YOUR terms instead of the world's scoreboard. We get into the fascinating science of why women's nervous systems run on oxytocin and men's run on dopamine, and how we’re literally not wired for hustle culture the same way. Maria gets vulnerable about becoming a "human doing" instead of a "human being," and Brooke drops the line that's going to live in your head rent-free: "My value comes from my being and not my doing!” So, so good! This episode  is a roadmap. Save it, screenshot it, send it to your group chat. Enjoy HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Healing a success wound happens on 4 levels. Brooke breaks it down: emotional (feel what you've been outrunning), mental (rewire the story that worth = output), behavioral (change how you actually show up day-to-day), and spiritual (reconnect to something bigger than your résumé).  Redefine success on your terms by your values, your core states of being, and your purpose. Stop using the world's scoreboard. Brooke's 3 pillars give you a new one: what you value, how you want to feel (peace, joy, presence — not just "successful"), and what you believe you're here for.  You can still be ambitious — just from wholeness, not wounding. This isn't about quitting your dreams. As Brooke says, "our ambition has two power sources — our wounding and our wholeness." Same drive, completely different fuel. One burns you out. The other fills you up. You get to choose which one you're running on.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today's episode dives into the hidden emotional patterns so many high achievers are carrying… and why success still doesn’t feel like enough.Yup, this episode is for all of us who have crushed those work goals, hit a promotion, but yet,  weirdly still feels empty on the other side of it. Brooke Taylor…a career coach, former Google leader, and author of Healing the Success Wound  unpacks why so many of us (especially high-achieving women) tie our self-worth to our output and end up burned out, anxious, and chasing a finish line that keeps moving. Brooke breaks down what a "success wound" actually is, the three roots of where it comes from (hint, hint...it's cultural, psychological, and emotional), and why your childhood gold stars might still be running your nervous system today. She also gets real about her own rock-bottom moment: sexual harassment at Google, her dad's terminal cancer diagnosis, and getting sober at 24, all in the same month. But from that. Brooke shares the first thing that truly began healing her own success wounds and why redefining success may be the key to finally feeling fulfilled. If you’ve ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish it’s still not enough… this episode is going to hit home. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS A success wound = when you only feel valuable when you're achieving. Brooke calls it the "empty cup." Every win you pour in (the promotion, the money, the applause) drains right back out because the cup itself is cracked.  There are 3 roots of the success wound: Cultural ( we were trained to measure our worth by what we produce), Psychological (childhood taught us that love and approval are earned by performing), Emotional (we lost touch with who we are underneath what we do) Awareness is where the healing starts. The moment you can name the wound, you take your power back. You're not broken — you're conditioned, and conditioning can be rewired.  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: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Brooke on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brookevtaylor/ Follow Brooke on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brooketaylorcareercoach?lang=en Website: https://brooketaylorcoaching.com/ Where To Get Healing the Success Wound: https://brooketaylorcoaching.com/successwound/ 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! SO many beautiful, unexpected, emotional, magical things happened this week and we cannot wait to tell you all about them. First up… we’re finally breaking down everything that happened at our very first Heal Squad Day of Reset,  and let’s just say, the last-minute pivots ended up becoming the biggest miracles of the day. We get into the emotional moments from the event, including the powerful Yoga Nidra and ecstatic dance sessions that had people crying, releasing emotions, reconnecting with joy, and honestly just letting YEARS of heaviness leave their bodies. Maria also opens up about the unexpected messages she received during meditation and the huge lesson she learned about finally leaving the guilt behind and taking care of herself too.. And yes, somehow Maria’s self-driving Tesla also became part of the nervous system healing journey.  Then we shift into some very real health revelations. Maria shares how removing dairy and inflammatory foods from her diet completely changed her body…reducing inflammation, bloating, puffiness…even cellulite. She gets super honest about the symptoms she thought were “normal” and what finally helped her start feeling like herself again. Oh! And somehow we also spiral into a hilarious but life-changing conversation about flossers… because apparently we’ve all been flossing wrong this whole time. Basically, this episode feels like one giant catch-up session … full of breakthroughs, laughs, nervous system resets..basically the reminders we all probably need this week. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we explore transitions, perspective, and why change can feel so much bigger than we expect. We talk sixth grade graduations, childhood milestones, and the emotions that come with leaving behind something familiar — even when something new is waiting ahead. We talk about how sensitive people experience the world differently. How some kids feel every ending deeply. How moving into a new chapter can bring anxiety, grief, excitement, and fear all at once. And how sometimes what looks dramatic on the surface is really someone trying to process change in real time. We talk about resilience, education, and how not everyone fits inside the same system. How some people are creative, emotional, structured, or wired differently than the traditional path allows for. How responsibility and discipline still matter, but so does recognizing people for who they actually are instead of forcing everyone into the same mold. We talk about perspective and modern complaining culture. How easy it is to spiral into negativity and lose sight of what’s still good. How comfort can quietly become an expectation. And why Rex Trailer could take Americans on a trip today for perspective! Talk Shawtly!

This week on Pot Luck Saturday, Kev and Kelsey get real about social media, burnout, wellness overload, and the exhausting pressure to look like you have it all together online. They talk about how influencer and celebrity life is often just a highlight reel — while the stress, anxiety, health struggles, financial pressure, and emotional burnout stay hidden behind the scenes. From Hollywood and podcasting to trolls, comparison culture, and mental health, this episode is a reminder that comparing your real life to someone else’s curated feed can quietly steal your peace. The conversation also turns toward health culture, self-help overload, mold toxicity, supplements, red light therapy, nervous system burnout, chronic stress, autoimmune struggles, and why modern wellness culture can sometimes become counterproductive. Kev shares why he thinks healing may actually come from doing less: more rest, more sunlight, more laughter, more simplicity, and finally listening to what your body is trying to say. Plus: the truth about influencer money, why so many successful people are secretly exhausted, hustle culture vs. rest, healing and emotional resilience, and why joy matters way more than appearances. It’s funny, honest, chaotic, thoughtful… and honestly feels like the kind of conversation everyone needs right now.

Happy Friday, Regular People — Kelsey is back, the Queens are reunited, and somehow we go from vitamin C powder and whole milk to emotional survival, nervous-system burnout, and why every adult secretly needs a shed to escape humanity. We get into how modern life has basically everyone stuck in fight-or-flight mode, and how Kelsey’s healer traced her anxiety, exhaustion, and vagus nerve issues back to something surprisingly simple: she wasn’t nourishing herself enough. Not emotionally. Not physically. Not in any real sustainable way. Which led to a bigger conversation about how sometimes the answer isn’t another supplement, guru, or podcast episode. Sometimes it’s sleep. Water. Structure. Laughter. Slowing down long enough to actually feel like a person again. Plus, why Kelsey may officially need her own “operating system update.” We also spiral into the world of Regular Guy health hacks — from oregano oil and local honey to bee pollen and whole milk making a comeback — while Kev questions whether society has completely lost the plot somewhere along the way. And underneath all the chaos is a very real conversation about why so many successful people are secretly running on fumes. Then Kev takes us down a very passionate rabbit hole about campers, hideaways, man caves, “she sheds,” little nooks, crannies, and escape hatches — which honestly turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about survival, aging, relationships, and why quiet becomes priceless the older you get. Because even when you love your people… sometimes you still need a door you can close. We also talk about the emotional impact of the Heal Squad Reset event, the power of healing communities, and why people right now are craving connection, purpose, reinvention, and second chapters more than ever. Plus: Frontier Airlines survival tactics, celebrity burnout, narcissist “lolcows,” Dog & Pony updates, AfterBuzz nostalgia and whether it could come back bigger than ever, and Kev casually floating the idea of a live Regular Guy reboot workshop for anyone needing a reset. Bye B’s.

Hey Heal Squad! After such a beautiful weekend at the Heal Squad Day of Reset, we had to bring back this incredibly powerful conversation. Tammy Valicenti joined us in person at Day of Reset, and if you were moved by her there… just wait! In this throwback episode, Maria sits down with Tammy to unpack EMDR therapy, the trauma-healing modality that has helped so many people process PTSD, anxiety, panic, and deeply stored emotional pain in a totally different way than traditional talk therapy. Tammy breaks down what EMDR actually is (because yes, it can sound a little intimidating at first), how it helps the brain reprocess trauma, and why so many people see life-changing shifts in just a handful of sessions. They also get into how trauma doesn’t just live in our memories, it lives in the body… showing up in relationships, anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and patterns we may not even realize are connected. Such an eye-opening conversation, especially if you’ve heard people talk about EMDR but never fully understood what it is or if it could help you!

Hey Heal Squad! We are back with Part 2 of our conversation with Zachary Levi, and honestly… this one goes to some really unexpected places. Zach shares something that genuinely surprised Maria: despite having such a deep relationship with God, he doesn’t actually go to church. We get into why, what his spiritual practice really looks like, and how years of home Bible studies and chosen-family community became more meaningful to him than traditional religion ever did. From there, the conversation gets even deeper. Zach opens up about marriage, why his first marriage cracked him wide open emotionally, and why he and his partner are choosing commitment and partnership every single day without needing a certificate to define it. We also talk about the massive shift happening in Hollywood right now, the headlines claiming he’s been “graylisted,” and why he says the real story is much more complicated than people think. He shares why he believes the industry has become increasingly hostile to people who don’t fall in line politically or creatively,  and why that’s exactly why he’s spent decades dreaming up Wyldwood Studios: the studio and living community he believes could completely change the future of storytelling.And somehow we also get into AI, why it actually doesn’t scare him, and why he believes human connection, creativity, and community are about to become even more valuable. Plus, because it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, Zach talks about Nerd HQ and the nonprofit work he’s doing to help people access therapy who otherwise couldn’t afford it. As he says in this episode: the stigma isn’t the barrier anymore — the price tag is. Just a warning Zach gets into some heavy things, so please listen with care. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can't outrun your trauma: Zach said he spent decades performing — booking jobs, hitting marks, smiling on red carpets — while completely unaware that unprocessed childhood trauma was running the show underneath. Every breakdown is an invitation: Zach reframed his lowest moment not as punishment but as God's invitation to finally stop and listen. Church is the people. Healing is the practice. Faith is the next step:  Zach pushed back on the idea that church is a building or a denomination — he said church is the community you do the work alongside, the people who show up when you're falling apart.  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: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Zach on IG: https://www.instagram.com/zacharylevi/ Radical Love:  https://www.amazon.com/Go-Love-Yourself-Radical-Acceptance/dp/0785236759 Wyldwood Studios: wyldwood.com  Nerd HQ: nerdhq.org 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! Our friend Zachary Levi is back and honestly, this may be the most grounded and open we’ve ever heard him. He’s a brand-new dad, he’s building Wyldwood Studios from the ground up in Texas, and he’s going deeper into his faith, healing, and purpose than ever before. Zach takes us all the way back to being three years old and feeling, deep in his soul, that he was put here to make people laugh and help others. From there, we get into the bigger conversation so many people are quietly having right now: Why does it feel so hard to know what’s true anymore? Zach breaks down what he calls the two sides of finding truth: empathy and logic and why he believes we’ve lost the ability to really hear each other. But the heart of this episode is what happens when Zach opens up about his 2017 mental breakdown, the season where he didn’t want to live and didn’t understand why. He shares how therapy finally taught him something he’d never learned before: how to love himself. We talk about unresolved trauma, how emotional pain can actually live in the body, and why he now believes every hardship can become an invitation to heal, grow, and go deeper with God.And then he says something I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about since we recorded this: that we are “infinitely valuable… and entirely unimportant.” Trust us… you’re going to want to hear the way he explains that one. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can't outrun unhealed trauma. It lives in the body. It makes you sick on every level — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual — and it keeps showing up until you stop saying "I got it" and finally sit with what's actually there. Every hardship is an invitation. The breakdowns, the breakups, the moments that bring you to your knees — Zach believes those aren't punishment. They're God asking you to come closer. You are infinitely valuable, and entirely unimportant. You matter more than you'll ever know, AND you don't have to carry it all alone. Your only job is to take the next step.

Hey Heal Squad! Today is another edition of What Worked This Week and honestly…this episode is kind of all over the place in the best way possible. Maria is fresh out of “newborn support mode” after helping friends with a new baby over Mother’s Day weekend, and the conversation turns into everything from emotional motherhood moments, to fashion finds, to nervous system resets, to the random life hacks currently making life easier. We’re talking about the Zara loafers rich girls are secretly buying instead of designer shoes, the travel sneakers she wears through airports, the warm neck pillow helping calm her nervous system at night, and why she’s embracing “paying for convenience” to reduce stress while traveling, parenting, and juggling life. She also gives a health update after her El Salvador trip, including stabilizing her insulin levels again and noticing how reducing stress may be helping her body overall. The bigger theme of this episode though? Making life feel lighter. Maria opens up about learning to “pay for convenience,” why perfection is overrated, and how protecting your peace sometimes means finding easier, softer ways to move through life. She also shares the gift idea she’s officially replacing flowers with after too many disappointing deliveries,  including the personalized gift card that made her brother cry and why astrology sessions, healer appointments, and meaningful experiences are becoming her new favorite presents to give people. It’s fun, practical, emotional (a little chaotic!) and we hope you love it!

Happy Sunday Set Up , Heal Squad! This week, we’re coloring outside the lines a little as we dive into life force energy, nervous-system depletion, psychic heaviness, and why so many people today feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained. Inspired by a recent biofeedback session, Keven explores what ancient traditions called Qi, Prana, or vital force—and how modern stress, burnout, overgiving, guilt, survival mode, and toxic environments may quietly be crushing it.  We break down the real signs your life force energy may be low: exhaustion that sleep can’t fix, emotional numbness, brain fog, hypervigilance, feeling spiritually “dim,” and constantly carrying everyone else’s emotions. From nervous-system regulation and breathwork to creativity, purpose, sunlight, boundaries, and peace, we explore what actually restores vitality—and why true healing may be a lot less mystical and a lot more human than we think. We even get a little woo woo. Psychic attack. Emotional contamination. Toxic people, moldy homes. hoarding, dark quarters, demonic energy - oh my!. This Sunday Set Up explores the strange ties to those items and loss of energy. And ultimately? Why opening a window, cleaning a room, speaking truth, setting boundaries, and reclaiming peace might be some of the oldest medicine there is. Remember Heal Squad: the opposite of darkness isn’t fear. It’s awareness. Breath. Light. Movement. Truth. Open the windows. Protect your peace. And reclaim your life force. Have a bright energetic week!

Happy Saturday, Regular People — welcome to Potluck Saturday, where today we’re diving into OnlyFans, judgment, and why everyone seriously needs to calm down. This week, we unpack how Shannon Elizabeth and Jaime Pressly joining OnlyFans says less about scandal and more about where the entertainment business is headed. We talk about how fame doesn’t always equal financial security, why talent can outlive the paycheck system Hollywood was built on, and how going directly to your audience may be the future for creators everywhere. We also get into why judging other people drains your own energy, how women are still judged harder and punished faster, and why women who mirror behavior men have gotten away with for decades are suddenly labeled “difficult.” Plus, we explore how light can trigger darkness in other people, and why building your own world instead of waiting for approval may be the ultimate form of revenge. Potluck Bonus: Gary Coleman, Bhad Bhabie’s bag of cash, Dog & Pony Show shoutouts, keyboard warriors, whether women can sometimes be meaner than men, and Max the dog weighing in with facts.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! Kelsey is back, the Queens anthem returns, and the dog-and-pony era is officially underway. This week, we dive into what happens when work, love, ambition, and friendship all collide while the metaphorical space shuttle is already taking off. We unpack why replacing “but” with “and” can completely shift your mindset, how the people who love you sometimes need to understand your redline seasons, and why protecting your fuel matters more than ever. Plus: why dogs, comfort TV, projectors, and staying JFF can genuinely save your soul. We also get into Hollywood’s shifting power structure, why the old gatekeepers are losing control, and how a more open playing field may actually create better art, fresher voices, and a more exciting industry. RGF Bonus: Kelsey’s Dog & Pony Show, Tony season trauma, bees as spiritual messengers, Blake/Justin discourse as old-school smut relief, favorite movie picks, and why sometimes the best way to stay connected to the people you love is to build something together.

Hey, Heal Squad! If your knees have been talking, your hips feel tighter than they used to, or you’ve ever wondered if joint pain just comes with getting older… this Throwback Thursday is for you. Maria sits down with top orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe for a fascinating conversation about joint health, mobility, and what we can actually do now to protect our bodies long-term. They get into the everyday habits that may be doing more damage than we realize, the truth about cortisone shots, PRP, robotic-assisted joint replacements, and how to know when pain has crossed the line from manageable to something you actually need to address. Dr. Snibbe also shares why muscle mass matters way more than most people think, how movement can either protect or break down your joints, and why joint replacement isn’t the scary “end of the road” people imagine… it can actually be a brand new beginning!

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Victoria Nelson—and today’s episode goes even deeper into the emotional aftermath of the skincare treatment that permanently scarred her, and the healing journey she’s still navigating every single day. Victoria opens up to Maria about being diagnosed with PTSD after the incident, and how the trauma didn’t just end when the treatment was over. She shares what it’s like living with the daily triggers, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the painful reality of reliving the experience every time she looks in the mirror. She also talks about how therapy helped her finally understand that trauma is trauma, and why she had to stop minimizing her own pain just because it happened in a skincare setting. But what happened after Victoria spoke out publicly may shock you even more. Her inbox quickly filled with messages from other women, influencers, and even celebrities claiming they experienced similar burns, infections, and damaging treatments from the same esthetician. The conversation expands into the bigger issues within the beauty industry—lack of transparency, hidden complaints, overtrusting “experts,” and why so many people stay silent after something goes wrong.Most importantly, Victoria shares how she finally began healing her skin after years of aggressive treatments and false promises. This episode is about so much more than skincare. It’s about trauma, trust, advocacy, boundaries, and learning how to feel safe in your body again. And ultimately, it’s a reminder that becoming the CEO of your health means listening to your instincts, asking questions, and protecting yourself—even when the person in front of you is called the “expert.” HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Trauma goes far beyond physical scars: Victoria opens up about her PTSD diagnosis, the daily emotional triggers she still lives with, and how deeply skin trauma can impact confidence, identity, and mental health. You have to advocate for yourself: One of the biggest lessons from Victoria’s journey is learning to trust your instincts, ask questions, and become the CEO of your own health, especially when something doesn’t feel right. There’s a lack of transparency in the beauty industry: After speaking out, Victoria heard from countless others with similar experiences, exposing larger concerns around provider oversight, hidden complaints, and consumer safety in the aesthetics world.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today’s episode is one of the most emotional and eye-opening conversations we’ve had in a while! In one of her first in-depth interviews about the experience, Victoria Nelson joins Maria to share the story behind the skincare treatment that permanently changed her life. What began as a routine facial appointment turned into a traumatic experience that left Victoria with lasting facial scars &  years of treatments to reverse the damage. Victoria walks us through exactly what happened the day the treatment went wrong… from the moment something foreign hit her skin to realizing something far more serious was happening. She opens up about the deep trust she built with a well-known esthetician that is now broken, how desperation to heal acne or any skin situation can make you vulnerable, and why so many people blindly trust beauty and wellness “experts” without doing the research. Maria and Victoria also dive into the emotional side of skin trauma and why this conversation is about so much more than vanity. This episode is ultimately a powerful reminder that you have to become the CEO of your own health… ask questions, do the research, trust your instincts, and never be afraid to advocate for yourself. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Blind trust can be dangerous,  even with someone you’ve known for years: Victoria shares how a long-term relationship with a trusted esthetician lowered her guard, and why  understanding treatments and advocating for yourself matters more than ever. This was about far more than “vanity.”: What started as an attempt to heal acne turned into permanent scarring, emotional trauma, and PTSD, showing how deeply skin, confidence, identity, and mental health are connected. You have to become the CEO of your own health: From researching providers and understanding credentials to getting second opinions and trusting your instincts, this episode is a reminder that no matter who the expert is, you still have to protect and advocate for yourself.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore why peace is not weakness, passivity, or “rolling over” — it’s actually the body’s truth meter. Your mind can rationalize staying too long, overgiving, proving yourself, or carrying guilt and obligation. But your nervous system usually tells the truth much faster. We talk about the difference between chaos and alignment, and why so many of us mistake anxiety, intensity, and emotional exhaustion for love, purpose, or responsibility. Keven shares why people who grew up managing tension and conflict often feel uncomfortable with real peace — because peace can feel unfamiliar when your nervous system has been trained for survival. But peace isn’t deadness. It’s a life where your goals, relationships, creativity, and ambitions no longer require constant self-erasure to maintain them. We dive into how peace sharpens discernment, restores self-respect, and helps you hear your own voice again. From boundaries and hard conversations to letting go of guilt and people-pleasing, this week’s conversation is about learning to stop abandoning yourself just to keep external harmony. Because there’s a difference between being calm because you’re aligned… and being quiet because you’ve disappeared. Remember, peace is not what remains after you disappear. It’s what becomes possible when you stop disappearing. Nothing here is permanent — except change. Let go and be present. Have a great week, Heal Squad!

Welcome to another Potluck Saturday! This week we get into the conversation surrounding the new Michael Jackson movie and the bigger issue underneath it… why modern culture seems unable to allow people to be complicated, flawed, talented, contradictory, and human all at once. We talk about the difference between understanding someone and endorsing everything they’ve ever done, the way social media has flattened people into heroes or villains, and why nuance seems to be disappearing from public conversation. From Michael Jackson to celebrity culture, fame, cancellation, and public perception, this episode explores what happens when a society loses the ability to hold two truths at the same time. We also get into the psychology of fame, why so many gifted people are also deeply wounded, and how our discomfort with other people’s flaws often reflects our discomfort with our own. Along the way, we touch on pop culture, Hollywood, social media, self-improvement, and the pressure to appear perfect in a world that rewards outrage over honesty. Larry Bird teaches us that we generally only empathize with others that have had problems similar to ours. As always more to come....

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we made it through another week! How funny, capable, overworked people slowly disappear inside loyalty, guilt, people-pleasing, and being “the strong one.” Why being needed is not the same as being loved. How guilt can become a cage, over-functioning can make you invisible, and people-pleasing is often just anxiety wearing a Hallmark sweater. How some people don’t die from drama… they die from swallowing it. Why boundaries aren’t cruel, why you don’t have to earn rest or tenderness, and how keeping the peace can quietly become self-abandonment with good manners. How a smaller chapter does not mean a smaller life. And why the loneliest people are often the ones smiling, serving, joking, producing, and holding everything together while nobody notices their heart. “You can be kind without becoming furniture.” “Stop bringing your open wound to a closed door.” And why being the one who handles everything is a terrible way to audition for love.  RGF Bonus….how Florence Henderson would not let Kev disappear and lessons on recycling for millennials and Gen Z.

Hey Heal Squad! After this week’s incredibly emotional conversations with Jamie Lynn Sigler about living with MS, we had to bring back our powerful episode with Montel Williams, who’s been navigating his own MS journey for more than two decades. In this conversation, Montel opens up about the symptoms he experienced for nearly 20 years before finally being diagnosed, the inflammation and chronic pain that completely changed his life, and how he became the “CEO of his health” long before that phrase became popular. He shares the research rabbit holes he went down, why he shifted his diet toward anti-inflammatory foods, the smoothie routine that changed his symptoms, and the alternative approaches that helped him manage pain and reclaim his quality of life. Maria and Montel also get into the bigger conversation around inflammation, gut health, cannabis, individualized care, and why so many people feel dismissed before finally getting answers. This episode is packed with perspective, curiosity, and so many practical takeaways!

Hey, Heal Squad! Part 2 of our conversation with Jamie Lynn Sigler is one of the most emotional conversations we’ve ever had on the show. Jamie opens up about the terrifying moment she almost lost her son Beau after a rare medical crisis landed him in the ICU… and how that experience completely changed her relationship with faith, surrender, and healing. She also shares how living with MS has forced her to stop apologizing for what she needs, why moving to Austin felt like a nervous system reset, and the emotional patterns she believes may have contributed to her illness in the first place. Plus, Jamie talks about her friendship with Christina Applegate, how their podcast MeSsy helped her finally let go of hiding, and the simple practices that help her stay grounded today. This episode is raw, vulnerable, hopeful, and such a beautiful reminder that healing doesn’t always look the way we think it will! We hope you enjoy this episode, and just a gentle note, Jamie shares some deeply emotional experiences, so take care as you listen. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Sometimes healing begins the moment you stop trying to carry everything alone: Jamie shares how surrendering during her son’s medical crisis changed her relationship with faith, love, and healing forever. Constantly trying to appear “fine” can keep your body stuck in survival mode: Jamie opens up about how perfectionism, suppressed emotions, and years of pressure impacted both her emotional and physical health. Healing isn’t always about pushing harder, sometimes it’s about finally giving yourself permission to need support: From setting boundaries to using a cane without shame, Jamie shares how MS taught her to stop apologizing for what she needs.

Hey, Heal Squad… today’s episode is raw, emotional, and incredibly relatable. Jamie Lynn Sigler sits down with Maria Menounos for a powerful heart-to-heart, opening up about the 14 years she spent hiding her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, even at the height of her career on The Sopranos. What looked like success on the outside was actually filled with fear, pressure, and a constant battle to appear “fine.” Jamie shares what it really cost her to carry that secret—from covering up physical symptoms on set… to the one person who truly knew what she was going through: James Gandolfini. But this conversation goes even deeper. Jamie opens up about the emotional patterns that existed long before her diagnosis—how body image struggles and an eating disorder shaped her need for control, how fame intensified her fear of being “found out,” and what it felt like to live as a version of herself that wasn’t fully true. This isn’t just a conversation about illness or MS, it’s about identity, shame, and the cost of hiding and trying to be strong all the time. If you’ve ever felt like you had to carry something alone… this one is going to hit.We hope you enjoy this episode—and just a gentle note, Jamie shares some deeply emotional experiences, so take care as you listen. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Hiding a diagnosis may feel like protection, but it quietly disconnects you from yourself and others: Jamie shares how keeping her MS a secret for 14 years didn’t just protect her career—it created isolation, anxiety, and a constant need to perform. When you’re hiding something big, over time, that can pull you further away from your true identity. Shame isn’t always loud, it builds slowly through the stories we tell ourselves: Long before her diagnosis, Jamie was already struggling with body image and control. Her MS didn’t create the shame, it attached to it. This episode shows how easily we internalize the belief that something is “wrong” with us, and how that belief can drive our choices, relationships, and even our sense of worth. Being truly seen, even by one safe perso, —can begin to break the cycle: Jamie’s moment with James Gandolfini wasn’t about fixing anything, it was about finally not being alone in it. That experience highlights something powerful: aometimes, one moment of honesty, with one person who meets you with compassion, is enough to shift everything 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: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Jamie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamielynnsigler/ Jamie’s Book is Out Now!

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week and honestly…this one is so good. She ended up taking a solo trip (not planned!) to El Salvador, and what came out of it was kind of wild! She’s basically connecting dots on everything right now…like realizing ivermectin may have been helping accelerate her healing, and noticing this super interesting pattern where every time she went into the ocean, her blood sugar dropped (she’s still testing it, so standby). But it's those little observations that are starting to add up and give her real clarity. But one of the biggest takeaways? Something she literally coined on this trip:“health anxiety.” That feeling of trying to do everything “perfect” for your health…and actually stressing yourself out more in the process. She breaks it down in such a relatable way, and you’ll probably see yourself in it too. She also talks about going back to the basics...light movement, stretching, staying consistent without overdoing it...oh, and a surprise twist…she’s officially into black coffee now and she got the chance to watch some TV! See what happens when we create space for ourselves, we get to reset and enjoy the little things.  And then…there’s the moment. The one that’s going to get you. Maria shares the sweetest, most emotional reunion with her daughter at the airport after being away: flowers, running, pure joy…all of it. It’s one of those moments that just reminds you what really matters. And yes, we’ve got the video up on YouTube, you have to see it. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we explore perspective, how quickly we can get in our own heads… We talk remembrance, how honoring loved ones can look like gathering, sharing stories, and being together. How loss doesn’t go away, but becomes something you learn to live with. And how the people we’ve lost wouldn’t want us stuck in sadness… they’d want us to be happy. We talk those moments that reset everything. How seeing what others are going through can shift your entire outlook. How it makes you stop and realize… maybe things aren’t as bad as they feel. How gratitude sometimes shows up as a wake-up call. We talk stress… how what we carry, emotionally and mentally, can wear us down. How holding onto pressure and outcomes takes a toll. And how learning to release, breathe, and let things be temporary might matter more than we think. This week, ask yourself: Where am I spiraling? What am I holding onto too tightly? Because sometimes the reset isn’t complicated… it’s just remembering: not everything is permanent. And sometimes, you just need to shut the noise down. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

Hey everyone, welcome to another Potluck Saturday, where former co-host and friend Roxy Striar sits in with Kev for a real and unfiltered conversation about egg freezing at 34, fertility timelines, the daily injections and do's and don'ts as well as what women need to know earlier than they’re often told. From there, we zoom out into health optimization and preventative care, including full body scans, early detection, and the current state of healthcare and insurance in the U.S…. what’s covered, what isn’t, and why more people are having to take control of their own health decisions. Being that it's Pot Luck, we shift into pop culture with further discussion regarding the Devil Wears Prada 2, the Anne Hathaway career arc, Chappell Roan's reactions to fans, toxic fan bases and how fame is changing… from evolving audience loyalty to artists setting boundaries and redefining their relationship with fans.This PLS is a mix of women’s health, self-improvement, career strategy, and culture making it a delectable Pot Luck feast!  Join the Heal Squad Day of Reset: https://www.healsquad.com/reset 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/host AG1: drinkag1.com/healsquad  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 Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How a fake morning show intro turned into a full-blown identity crisis in under 30 seconds. How a simple family movie circle somehow ignited a generational debate nobody was ready for. How The Devil Wears Prada led to the most uncomfortable question of the week—what if the “devil” isn’t the villain at all. How workplaces then vs. now might not even be playing the same game (and why that matters more than we think). How “toxic” and “tough” may be getting dangerously confused. How stirring the pot might be the only way to get to the truth. How two completely opposite things can both be true… and why that messes with all of us. How “just try” might quietly be the difference between stuck and moving forward. How effort—not perfection—might be the thing we’re all avoiding. How there may be no such thing as an “easy way”… no matter how much we want one. How leadership today might require more explaining than commanding (whether we like it or not). How younger generations may be missing the reps that teach you how to actually move and groove. How maybe we’ve all been through something… and that doesn’t automatically make us right. And how it’s not about who’s right… it’s about who’s willing to learn, adjust, and keep showing up anyway. Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday and Kev is back hosting this one, and honestly, this conversation feels more important than ever. In his conversation with Dr. Joel Gator, they get into what’s really going on with our kids right now, from rising chronic illness and mental health struggles to what we can actually do to start shifting things in a better direction. They talk about how health isn’t just about one thing (not just food, not just exercise), but the full picture… stress, environment, toxins, sleep, family time, and the pace of life we’re all trying to keep up with. Kev and Dr. Gator also get real about how modern parenting, packed schedules, processed foods, and screen time are all adding up… and why slowing down might actually be one of the most powerful things we can do. There’s also a really important conversation around trusting your instincts as a parent, finding balance (instead of extremes), and focusing on what you can control, without feeling overwhelmed. Such a good reminder that the basics really do matter!

Hey Heal Squad! Parents, listen up…this is the episode you didn’t know you needed. We’re with world-renowned parenting educator and author Jon Fogel, and trust us…this will completely reset how you think about raising kids. Jon literally wrote the book on it (loll), called Punishment-Free Parenting: The Brain-Based Way to Raise Kids Without Raising Your Voice, and today he’s breaking down why punishment and yelling don’t work long-term (even if they feel effective in the moment), and what actually does. Jon shares real-life tools you can use immediately...like how to handle meltdowns without escalating them, and the surprisingly simple “game” that can turn chaos into connection in seconds. Plus he’s sharing top tips like why you should never try to reason with a dysregulated child, what strengthens secure attachment, why apologizing to your kids might be the most important parenting tool you have, and a must-hear relationship hack for couples navigating different parenting styles (this alone is worth the listen!).Bottom line: this isn’t about being a perfect parent. It’s about being an intentional one. Small, consistent shifts can totally have a massive impact on your child’s future. Hope you love this one, because we just know you're going to walk away with tools you can use today! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Punishment doesn’t teach, modeling does: Punishment might stop behavior in the moment, but it doesn’t create lasting change. Kids learn far more from what we show them than what we say or threaten.  Regulate first, teach later: When kids are in meltdown mode, their brains are in survival, not learning, mode. In those moments, your only job is to help them regulate (through movement, games, or calming their body). The teaching and boundaries come after they’re calm. Repair is more powerful than perfection: You don’t have to be a perfect parent, what matters most is how you show up after you mess up. Learning how to apologize, repair, and reconnect actually builds stronger relationships and emotional intelligence in your kids.

Hey Heal Squad! This is one of those episodes you might think isn’t for you… but it absolutely is. Maria sits down with Dr. Ray Dorsey and Dr. Michael Okun, co-authors of The Parkinson’s Plan, along with Lisa Volenec, founder of This Is Parkinson’s, for a powerful, eye-opening conversation on what we need to know about Parkinson’s right now. They break down why this disease is rising so quickly and its surprising connection to things in our everyday environment, like what’s in our air, water, and food. We’re also talking about what you can actually do about it… from filtering your water, to being mindful of environmental exposure, and simple shifts that can support your brain health (they’ve got 25 of them!). Plus, there’s good news: there are more treatment options than ever, including things like focused ultrasound (something our friend Rebecca Crews recently underwent), and real lifestyle tools that can make a difference (turns out coffee can prevent the disease!). You’ll also learn the early signs most people miss, like loss of smell, sleep issues, and subtle body changes, and you’ll hear Lisa’s powerful story of being diagnosed young, hiding it for years, and ultimately finding strength in sharing her truth and building community. And as we close out Parkinson’s Awareness Month, this conversation feels more important than ever. It’s not about fear, it’s about awareness, action, and hope. Because when we understand more, we can do more! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Start Protecting Your Brain Now (Not Later): Most Parkinson’s cases aren’t genetic, so what you’re exposed to over time matters. Start with what’s in your control: filter your water, wash produce thoroughly to reduce pesticide exposure, add an air purifier at home,be mindful of high-exposure environments (near freeways, heavy agriculture, industrial areas). Don’t Ignore “Subtle” Symptoms: Parkinson’s often starts years before diagnosis, and not in the way people think. Watch for loss of smell (outside of illness), chronic constipation, subtle stiffness or slower movement just to name a few. Don’t Do It Alone: Up to half of people hide their diagnosis, and that isolation can make everything harder. So find community because talking about it removes shame and builds strength.

Hey Heal Squad! This week’s What Worked This Week is part life update, part wellness experiment, and part deeper convo that might hit closer than you expect. Maria’s coming to you from El Salvador, fully unplugged, makeup-free, and feeling the shift that comes with simplifying everything…which leads to some really honest reflections about vulnerability, sharing, and protecting your peace. Of course, we kick things off with what’s actually working. The sleep mask and pillow setup? Still delivering! But wait until you hear what’s been happening in her dreams lately, LOL. Then she shares her latest obsession (and her favorite recipe from her mom!) a healthy sweet treat that’s basically an upgraded granola. Then things get interesting… Maria breaks down the food sensitivity test she just took, and let’s just say, the results were not what she expected. We’re talking major staples (olive oil, cucumbers…say it isn’t so for a Greek girl!) now on the “maybe not” list, and it’s completely changing how she’s thinking about what she eats and how she fuels her body.And then… we go deeper. A powerful audiobook—Strangers by Belle Burden—sparks a bigger conversation about sharing our lives in a world where everyone has an opinion. When is sharing healing? When is it too much? And are we always strong enough to handle what comes with being that open? It’s real, it’s reflective, and it’s a conversation we’re all navigating right now.We’d love to hear what’s working for YOU this week too. Hope you enjoy this one!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we explore what we’re carrying that may no longer be ours to hold… the burdens, beliefs, and old loyalties. We talk grief, boundaries, and the difference between being a pack mule and being a lantern bearer. How protecting your peace isn’t selfish, forgiveness doesn’t always mean re-entry, and why sometimes wisdom looks like knowing what to set down. We talk how humor can carry truth in ways seriousness sometimes can’t. How Bill Murray’s it just doesn’t matter is a reminder that some of what weighs on us may not deserve the power we give it. How loss can sharpen perspective. How letting go can be a spiritual practice. And how maybe peace comes not from carrying life better… but from carrying less. This week, ask yourself: What am I carrying that doesn’t actually belong to me anymore? What have I made heavy that maybe… just doesn’t matter? Because maybe the shift isn’t in fixing everything, but in setting down one unnecessary brick. And maybe that’s where lighter living (and deeper healing) begins. We’ll Talk Shawtly.

Hey Heal Squad! Happy Potluck Saturday! Kev and Anne are back and they’re diving into how a Brady Bunch measles episode sparked a bigger conversation about fear, media, and who profits when panic becomes programming. How old television handled life with a little less hysteria. How nostalgia can help us see the present more clearly. How the Brady house, Tina Louise, and Julia Child opened up reflections on imperfection, creativity, and independent spirit. How fake news has evolved into AI confusion and why staying rooted in real community may matter more than ever. How random Legos may hold a lesson about imagination and thinking for yourself. How “wing” may be New England’s most honest season. How Greek dancing, memory, and even pavilion upgrades became reminders that life is often built in the unscripted moments.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How losing the opening music sent Kev into an unexpected Friday identity crisis. How Patriots Day opened up a bigger conversation about history, pride, and what binds a culture together. How Bicentennial parade traumas of yesteryear still have emotional residue. How resilience and resourcefulness may be the greatest gifts we can pass on. How “just try” may be more important than perfection. How kids may need less managing and more chances to learn how to move and groove. How common sense, independent thought, and coloring outside the lines may be the missing curriculum. How simplifying life may not be about retreating, but preparing. How Victim Con keeps returning because every joke has a dangerous grain of truth. How escaping the ring may sometimes be the best strategy. And how maybe, just maybe, the future belongs to the people who can adapt, laugh, help each other… and keep going. Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday, and since April is Autism Awareness Month, we’re bringing back this really eye-opening conversation with Kyland Young,  known from Big Brother and The Challenge, and a member of the historic Cookout alliance. In this episode, Kyland opens up about receiving a late autism diagnosis in his 30s and how that completely shifted the way he understands himself, his relationships, and the way he moves through the world. He shares what it was like growing up just feeling “different,” how being on Big Brother actually led to his diagnosis, and the relief that came with finally having answers. He also gets into how his brain processes information, what social interactions can feel like on the spectrum, and the tools he’s used to adapt, learn, and thrive. Such a powerful one to revisit!

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Dr. Steven Storage  and today we’re getting into the best ways to actually support an ADHD brain. In this episode, we unpack how ADHD shows up in ways you might not expect, like why what we often call “brain fog” is really about how the brain is taking in, organizing, and storing information,  and once you understand that, everything starts to make more sense. We also dive into how trauma and chronic stress impact the brain, affecting focus, emotional regulation, and even showing up in relationships through things like fear of disappointing others or getting stuck in shame cycles. And one of the biggest mindset shifts in this conversation? ADHD isn’t something to fight,  it’s something to learn how to work with. Dr. Storage breaks down five core habits that can truly support your brain: prioritizing sleep, moving your body daily, fueling yourself with the right nutrition, building smart structure (instead of relying on motivation), and creating external accountability. Because ADHD brains don’t thrive in isolation, they thrive with support systems in place.This episode is such a powerful reminder that your brain isn’t broken, it just works differently. And when you understand it, you can finally start supporting it in a way that actually works. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Small Daily Habits = Big Brain Changes: You don’t need to overhaul your life, just focus on the foundations: sleep, movement, nutrition, structure, and accountability. These small, consistent habits can make a huge difference in how your brain feels and performs. Stop Fighting Your Brain,  Start Working With It: When you learn how your brain works, you can finally create systems that support you instead of drain you. ADHD Can Show Up in Relationships as Fear, Not Effort: Many people with ADHD deeply care, but it can show up as fear of disappointing others, overthinking, or shutting down, not lack of effort. Understanding this can completely change how you show up with each other.

Hey, Heal Squad! If you’ve ever wondered whether you might have ADHD this episode is going to hit. We sat down with Dr. Steven Storage, a board-certified adult and child psychiatrist at Amen Clinics, and he completely reframed what ADHD actually is  and what it isn’t. Because here’s the thing: ADHD isn’t just about focus. It’s about how your brain regulates attention, energy, and emotion  and for so many people, it’s been misunderstood or missed entirely. Dr. Storage breaks down why ADHD is often misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression, especially in people who are high-functioning and “getting by” on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disorganized, or exhausted from working twice as hard. Instead of giving a simple checklist, he explains why there’s no one-size-fits-all test for ADHD and why it’s more about recognizing patterns over time. In fact, he walks us through seven key patterns that might signal ADHD, including things like struggling to start tasks unless you’re excited about them and dealing with chronic disorganization! We also get into why ADHD can actually come with some powerful strengths like creativity, intuition, and big-picture thinking! Maria had so many “wait…that’s me” moments in this conversation,  and honestly, you probably will too! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS ADHD Isn’t About Focus, It’s About Regulation: Your brain struggles to regulate attention, energy, and emotion. That’s why you can hyper-focus on what you love, but feel stuck or overwhelmed with everything else. ADHD Misdiagnosed: So many people are treated for anxiety or depression first, when ADHD is actually the root cause. If you’ve been “getting by” but working twice as hard, it’s worth looking deeper. Your Brain Isn’t Broken, It’s Different: ADHD brains can be incredibly powerful: creative, intuitive, big-picture thinkers. The goal isn’t to “fix” yourself. it’s to understand how your brain works and learn how to work with it.

Hey Heal Squad! This week’s episode is all about Maria’s unexpected wins… the small shifts that ended up making a surprisingly big impact. Some are simple (wait till you hear her bathroom curtain idea!), but every one of them proves how powerful a few intentional lifestyle tweaks can be. First up, after recent blood work, Maria realized both she and her dad saw major improvements (like better cholesterol levels) and the common thread wasn’t anything extreme… it was more sun, more time outdoors, and a calmer nervous system. Add in a few surprising sleep upgrades like a silk sleep mask that actually stays put, switching to a better pillow that eliminates neck pain overnight, and even placing a pillow under the knees for back support… and suddenly, rest and recovery felt completely different. It’s a reminder that if something isn’t working, it might not be you… it might just be time to switch it up. Maria also shares how to take your next party veggie board to the next level (hint: olive oil, lemon, and salt make everything shine ). And the biggest full-circle moment? Scouting the Heal Squad Day of Reset in Cape Cod, where an impromptu yoga nidra session on the beach at sunset turned into a defining “this is it” experience. The takeaway: you don’t need a massive overhaul to feel better, you just need a few intentional shifts that actually work. So tell us… what worked for you this week? We’d love to hear it!

Happy Sunday Set Up, Heal Squad! This one starts with a conversation about a musician Kev found and how creative work comes together… and then it shifts into something much more personal. Anne shares a moment from this week, pitching a software product to 50 countries through the UN… a huge accomplishment… followed by hearing her mom say “I’m proud of you” to her sister instead. And how that feeling sticks. Kev opens up about being the one people rely on, the one who shows up, builds, delivers, and how those people don’t always hear that acknowledgement back. Maria jumps in too, sharing that sometimes parents just don’t fully understand what we do or how big those moments are. And it all lands on this: if you keep waiting for someone else to say “I’m proud of you”… you might stay stuck. At some point, you have to let that go, accept people for who they are, and keep moving anyway. Talk shawtly!

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad. Kev’s back in Hollywood mode with Ashley, and they get into how much the industry has changed, the death of the “movie star,” why everything feels smaller, safer, and more manufactured now… and how fame, deals, and platforms really get built behind the scenes (including some very real talk on contracts, leverage, and knowing when to walk away). There’s also a deep dive into what’s blowing up right now, Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle, Barstool, podcast deals, and why the people who win are usually the ones who just… don’t care what anyone thinks. But underneath all of it is a bigger thread: authenticity. Who actually makes it, who fades out, and why staying real is the only thing that seems to last now. Talk shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This one starts in Hollywood… and ends somewhere between leprechauns, hoarder houses, and what actually matters. Kev and Anne kick things off talking about movies we just don’t get anymore… the kind that actually stay with you… and how everything now feels like franchises, budgets, and safe bets. Then it turns into one of those classic RGF spirals — 11:11, whether it means anything, and if it’s the universe… or just your brain trying to get your attention. And yes… somehow we get into leprechauns! But underneath all of it, there’s a thread. What we choose to believe, what we assign meaning to, and how that shapes our reality more than we realize. There’s also a detour into the infamous hoarder house, what it takes to clean it out (physically and maybe energetically 👀), and whether the answer is fighting… or just a little more love and light. It lands on something real: maybe life is less about having proof… and more about what you choose to see, feel, and make meaning out of. Talk shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! Today’s Throwback is a special one. With the recent news about Rebecca King-Crews’ Parkinson’s diagnosis, we wanted to bring back this conversation, because it’s exactly what she’s always been about: hope, faith, and real strength. In this episode, Rebecca shares her journey through breast cancer, the power of listening to your intuition, and how she leaned into faith instead of fear. From advocating for her own health to navigating life, marriage, and healing, her perspective is grounded, honest, and incredibly uplifting. This isn’t a heavy listen… it’s a reminder! That even in the hardest moments, there can still be peace. There can still be joy. And there is always a way forward. Sending Rebecca so much love, and we hope this episode meets you exactly where you are today.

Hey Heal Squad! You’ve heard us say it before: our bodies hold onto more than we realize. But what if some of that stress and trauma is stored in places you’d never expect…like your jaw? Today, Maria is  with Human Garage co-founder Garry Lineham to explore the powerful connection between fascia, trauma, tension, and self-healing. Garry shares the origins of Human Garage and how decades of chronic pain, and reliance on constant treatments, led him to a breakthrough: simple, targeted fascial maneuvers that help people support their bodies on their own. He also breaks down the viral moment we’ve all seen with LeAnn Rimes, and what was really happening during that emotional jaw release. According to Garry, that moment wasn’t random, it was the body finally letting go of long-held tension and stress. You’ll also understand why jaw tension can impact your entire body, why fascia may play a role in storing trauma, and how releasing that tension can create powerful shifts, emotionally, physically and in LeAnn’s case… vocally. Maria and Garry also discuss the idea that chronic dehydration may be playing a bigger role in our health than we think. This episode is eye-opening, thought-provoking, and definitely conversation-starting. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your body holds onto stress longer than your mind does:  Even when you’ve processed something mentally, your fascia and physical tension patterns may still be carrying it. That tight jaw might be doing more than you think: Jaw tension can signal your body is in a constant state of bracing, impacting posture, stress levels, and overall alignment. You can be drinking plenty of water and still feel dehydrated. Garry proposes this could be linked to how the body holds and distributes fluids, including the role of fascia.

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!

Happy Sunday Set Up, Heal Squad! Orthodox Easter, a full day ahead… and this one slows things down in the best way. Kev and Anne sit with a simple idea that hits hard: life isn’t something to solve… it’s something to feel. Not a puzzle, a wave. And the more you try to hold onto moments, people, or who you used to be… the more you feel it slipping. Anne opens up about outgrowing friendships and the pressure to stay the same, while Kev reflects on how much time we spend looking back… wishing, regretting, holding on… instead of actually being where we are. They get into letting go… not in some big dramatic way, but in the everyday moments. The friendships that shift. The versions of you that don’t fit anymore. The realization that maybe nothing was ever meant to be held onto forever. Wherever this Sunday finds you, maybe this is your reminder to loosen your grip a little… and just ride what’s here.

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad! Kev and Anne get into the Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds situation… but not to pick sides. It’s more about what gets missed, how fast narratives form, and what really happens behind the scenes with media, PR, and reputation. There’s a lot more going on than what makes the headlines. But then it flips. Because maybe the real takeaway isn’t who wins… it’s how refreshing it is to even be talking about something like this again. Something a little ridiculous. A little theatrical. A break from everything heavier going on in the world. Kev and Anne both land on the same thing… sometimes you just want the lighter stories back! Wherever this Saturday finds you, maybe this one gives you permission to unplug from the heavy stuff for a bit… and just take in the show. Talk shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! Today’s episode starts with a wild idea… Kev opening “Kev’s Speaker Emporium…” overpriced speakers, beepers only, neon lights, and a two-year waitlist for absolutely no reason. But underneath the joke is something real… that feeling of being done, wanting something simpler, and not wanting to play the same game anymore. Anne shares a story that hits hard… her grandson finding out about the Easter Bunny, and the kind of heartbreak that comes with losing that magic. It brings up something bigger… how long do you hold onto wonder, and what happens when it goes? Kev reflects on growing up, Greek Easter traditions, and how differently this time of year can feel depending on where you come from. Wherever you are this weekend, maybe this is a reminder that growing up doesn’t have to mean losing everything that made things special… just seeing it differently. Talk shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday, and today we’re bringing back a conversation that so many of you have been asking about, especially as more of us are diving into red light, infrared, and natural ways to support the body. Maria sits down with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten, to break down what infrared light actually is, how it works in the body, and why it’s becoming such a powerful tool for healing. From reducing inflammation and supporting detox to improving sleep, energy, and even mood, this episode really connects the dots on why light (yes, light!!) is something our bodies need more of. If you’ve been curious about red light, this is such a good one to start with!

Hey Heal Squad! If you thought Part 1 with Dr. Roger Seheult was good… just wait…this one is truly mind-blowing. If you’ve ever thought sunlight = vitamin D and you can just supplement your way around it… this episode is going to completely shift your perspective. Dr. Seheult breaks down why the benefits of sunlight go far beyond a pill, and why moderate sun exposure may be way more important than we’ve been told. We also get into the power of infrared light, how it may support your mitochondria (aka your body’s energy engines), and why simply getting outside (yes, even being around trees and plants) can have a real impact on your health. We also dive into the fascinating history of sunlight in medicine… from hospitals once being designed to get patients outside, to research during COVID that showed how light may have supported recovery. And Dr. Seheult shares a story you won’t forget—about a critically ill teen whose healing took a shocking turn after one simple request: to go outside. If Part 1 made you rethink sleep and circadian rhythm, Part 2 is going to change the way you think about sunlight, healing, and what your body actually needs to thrive. Get ready for a lot of “wait… what?!” moments, Heal Squad! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Sunlight is more than just vitamin D: It delivers a full spectrum of light (especially infrared) that may support your mitochondria, energy production, and overall cellular health in ways supplements alone can’t replicate. Most of us are actually sunlight deficient: With modern life keeping us indoors, the bigger issue isn’t too much sun ,it’s not enough. Regular, moderate exposure may play a major role in supporting immunity, metabolism, and long-term health. Nature is part of the medicine: Fresh air, green spaces, and even being around trees can amplify the benefits of light. Getting outside isn’t just relaxing, it may actively support healing and recovery on a deeper level.

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.

Hey Heal Squad! It’s another What Worked This Week with Maria (and this one is packed in the best way!).Today, Maria shares 5 real-life takeaways to help you stress less, simplify your life, and travel smarter…just in time for spring break! And honestly…these are the kinds of tips you’ll actually use. First up: stress. Since being in El Salvador, Maria’s found it so much easier to step away from the noise and recalibrate. There’s something about the beach that just does it. But then…cue a very real moment…she thought she forgot something very vital to her health: her insulin! Full panic. What happened next? Let’s just say it turned into something surprisingly positive you won’t expect. Then we get into her fool-proof packing system. She has the best hacks that kept her totally organized on this trip.And because travel can wreck your gut sometimes, Maria shares the two must-pack essentials she never leaves home without. If you deal with stomach issues…this is gold. She’s also loving a few tiny but impactful upgrades lately….like her new go-to facial cleanser from Formless Beauty (scroll below for a discount!). Plus, if your day is packed with Zoom calls, don’t miss her easy movement trick to boost blood flow without leaving your desk. And finally…a little plot twist: Minimalist Maria is emerging! Her move to El Salvador has helped her seriously downsize, and the shift has brought a whole new level of clarity, freedom, and healing. (Wait until you hear how many hangers she has now!) If you’ve been craving more peace, simplicity, or just a few small shifts that make a big difference, listen to this!  Join Us at Day of Reset: https://www.healsquad.com/reset  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: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host AG1:  https://drinkag1.com/healsquad  Biocidin Remove & Sbi Protect: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/106879 More Recent Finds: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/3873481 Heal Squad listeners 10% off Formless Beauty w/ code: HEALSQUAD10 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 Sunday Set Up, Heal Squad! Easter Sunday… but not the baskets and bunnies version. Kev’s talking about how differently it’s celebrated depending on where you come from, the Greek side, the rituals, the discipline, the meaning behind it… versus the more casual version most of us grew up with. Anne’s in it too, what traditions actually stick with you, what feels meaningful, what just feels like something you did because you had to. And then it goes somewhere you don’t expect… people you’ve known who’ve done really bad things, and what you do with that. How do you hold onto the good you experienced with someone while also knowing what they’re capable of? What does forgiveness actually look like in real life? Talk shawtly!

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad! Kev hears Hard Knock Life and starts riffing on this idea of a full-on “Victim Con”… people getting up on stage to perform whatever made them a victim. It’s funny until it’s not. They go right back to something Kev’s always believed… make your bed, clean your space, take care of your own stuff. Anyone can do it. He used to say it to kids, still says it now. You can hear how over it Kev is with people who just take energy… the ones who want to sit in it, talk in circles, not actually change anything.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This one jumps from Annie nostalgia into a bigger conversation about how people are wired, the difference between labeling someone “weird” vs. actually understanding who they are, and why some behaviors just are what they are. Kev gets into parenting and the long game, not just giving kids everything, but teaching responsibility early, exposing them to different cultures, and setting them up to handle real life on their own. We also get the full Homeless Joe epilogue… from the Caribbean Festival chaos to somehow ending up with a stolen Air Force trophy and giving Joe his one official “win.” And underneath all of it is that reminder that not everyone’s playing with the same deck, and sometimes the win looks different depending on who you are.

Hey Heal Squad! Earlier this week, Jenny McCarthy opened up about her diagnosis with mold toxicity, detoxing, and everything she went through to start feeling like herself again… so this Throwback Thursday felt like the perfect one to bring back. In this episode, Maria sits down with Dr. Christina Rahm, who breaks down what’s really going on in the body when it comes to toxins (whether that’s mold, Lyme, heavy metals, or other environmental exposures) and why detoxing isn’t just a trend, it’s something your body actually needs support with. Dr. Rahm shares her own intense health journey with Lyme disease and cancer, and how it led her to focus on root cause healing, looking at the body as a system, how cells communicate, and why clearing out “the trash” in your system can change everything from inflammation to immune function. They also get into why it’s not about choosing between traditional medicine or natural approaches, but understanding how both can work together… and why being the CEO of your own health matters more than ever. Such a good one to revisit after this week’s conversations!

Hey Heal Squad! We’re continuing Maria’s Walk & Talk series… but this time, we’re taking it to the beach! Maria is joined by her friend Kel (Inner Journey Breathwork  and someone you may remember from our last Heal Squad retreat) for a real, unfiltered “yoga talk” straight from the beaches of El Salvador. Together, they flow through movement and conversation, diving into how reconnecting with nature can bring you back to clarity, truth, and a deeper sense of self. They get into why nature is the ultimate source of healing, the power of simple, intuitive movement, how sunlight and grounding can reset your body, and what it really means to let go of pressure and just be present. So grab a mat, stretch it out, or just take a deep breath and listen in on this beautiful, flowing conversation. Enjoy!

Hey Heal Squad! Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg is back! And this time, we’re going deep into her health journey. For years, Jenny was brushing off symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and chronic pain…thinking it was stress, hormones, or just life. But it turns out, something much bigger was going on beneath the surface: mold toxicity. Today, Jenny reveals how it was finally discovered (hint: her intense dental journey led her there), how it spiraled into affecting multiple systems in her body, and why nothing was healing the way it should.She walks us through how she connected the dots, what she’s doing now to heal, and the symptoms we should never ignore. We also get into some of the more advanced detox protocols she’s trying, like EBOO therapy to filter toxins from the blood, hyperbaric chambers, and even starting a heavy metal detox. This conversation is a reminder that if you’re not getting answers, you may need to keep digging. And yes…we also get into beauty. Jenny shares the real reason she created her brand Formless Beauty, why she’s so intentional (and slow) about launching products, and what she hopes the brand becomes in the future. Bonus for the Heal Squad! Jenny is giving you 10% off, check below for the code! And don’t forget to catch Jenny this week on the Season FINALE of The Masked Singer! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Don’t stop at surface-level answers. If something feels off, keep digging: You can be doing everything right,and still not heal. Jenny’s turning point came when she and her doctors realized something deeper (mold toxicity + hidden infections) was blocking her body’s ability to recover. Hidden toxins can quietly drive major health issues: From infected root canals to mold exposure to environmental toxins, Jenny’s story shows how things you can’t see can impact everything like immune function, brain health, pain, fatigue, even healing capacity. The 5 Warning Signs from Jenny’s Story You Shouldn't Ignore: Persistent fatigue, Brain fog, Leg cramping, Recurring infections or slow healing, Strange or unexplained symptoms (inflammation, growths, etc.) Join Us at Day of Reset: https://www.healsquad.com/reset  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: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host AUDIBLE:  https://audible.com/healsquad AG1: drinkag1.com/healsquad  GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Jenny on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennymccarthy/?hl=en  Follow Jenny on TikTok :https://www.tiktok.com/@mrs.wahlberg?lang=en Everything Formless Beauty:  https://formlessbeauty.com/ Jenny is offering Heal Squad listeners 10% off Formless Beauty w/ code: HEALSQUAD10 The Masked Singer Airs Wednesdays on Fox: https://www.fox.com/the-masked-singer/ 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! Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg is back!! We know how much you all love her, and we’re so excited she returned for a special edition of Maria’s favorite segment…What Worked This Week! And let’s just say…Jenny had A LOT to share. From how local honey has been helping her allergies, to how faith has become more powerful for her than ever before (she calls them her Jesus timeouts!),this episode is packed with her real-life tools that are actually working for her right now. Jenny also gives us a peek into her brand, Formless Beauty, and what’s new, plus she opens up about her latest wellness go-to: peptides! Jenny tells Maria what she’s currently using, and why she believes it’s so important to work with a doctor when incorporating them. Plus, Jenny shares one of her favorite ways to reset her nervous system and manage anxiety…something we love here on Heal Squad: EMDR! Friends, this is the kind of conversation that will make you love Jenny even more. And don’t forget, catch Jenny this week on the finale of The Masked Singer!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Peptides can be powerful for healing, but only when used correctly: Peptides have made a real difference for her, especially for things like gut health and mitochondria (energy production). But the key is to use  properly prescribed peptides, not just jumping on a trend.  Your nervous system is the foundation of healing: One of the biggest themes was that your body can’t fully heal if your nervous system is dysregulated. Whether it’s walking, EMDR, or simple daily resets, calming the body is essential. Don’t underestimate simple, consistent tools: From local honey helping allergies to prayer easing anxiety, Jenny shared that some of the most effective things aren’t complicated.

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! Kev opens this one by saying he just doesn’t like Sundays. Never really has. Even now, if he’s not working or busy, it just feels off. Which turns into a conversation about whether that’s something to fix… or just something to accept about yourself. Anne brings in a list about shame and it hits on all the little things… apologizing for no reason, over-explaining, not knowing how to take a compliment, making jokes about yourself first. The kind of stuff you don’t even realize you’re doing until you hear it out loud. Then it shifts into parenting, what you give your kids, what you don’t, how much is too much, and how different people and cultures approach it. Kev shares a story about a dad who had the means to give his kids everything… but chose not to, on purpose. A ton of takeaways in this episode, Squad, and let us know if you feel the same about Sundays… Talk shawtly!

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad! Today’s potluck starts with a throwback… an old Andy Griffith clip (A Face in the Crowd) that somehow launches us into… baton twirling?! Yes, really! From childhood batons with tassels to high school rallies, side bets, and some very overdue apologies to the baton twirlers we did not appreciate enough back in the day. From there, it turns into one of those classic Kev and Anne conversations… pizza debates (Greek vs Italian), Starbucks vs McCafe, why consistency sometimes kills quality, and how taking the “love” out of things changes the result. Underneath it all is something real: how culture shapes us, how we survive the environments we grow up in, and why we’re all actually better when we bring different strengths to the table. Let this be your reminder that maybe we all owe a few people an apology now and then. Talk shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week starts with life in El Salvador,  adapting on the fly, why Kev’s backpack and “swimmies” are suddenly essential, and how quickly you realize what you actually need. From there, it turns into a real conversation about aging parents…balancing independence with safety (aka “padded walls”) plus a surprising win from Anne with STEM wave therapy for shoulder injuries. And then the tougher stuff… friends struggling with addiction, and the reality that you can’t force someone to change, only decide how you show up. A little bit of everything, but all very real.

Hey Heal Squad! Earlier this week we had Joey Graziadei on the show… so it only felt right to bring back one of our favorite conversations with Hannah Brown for Throwback Thursday! In this episode, Hannah opened up in a way we hadn’t really heard before, shared what was going on behind the scenes during and after The Bachelorette, and how everything started catching up to her physically and emotionally. She talked about the health struggles that left her feeling inflamed, exhausted, and honestly not like herself, along with her diagnoses of PCOS and high histamine levels, and how stress was playing a much bigger role than she realized. We also got into her experience on Special Forces, how it completely shifted the way she sees her strength, and the bigger realization that came out of it… that she was more comfortable in chaos than in peace. It’s a really honest look at what healing actually looks like when you’re in the middle of it. Such a good one to revisit.

Hey Heal Squad! This Heal in 15 is pulled from a past episode with Denise Kirtley, midlife fitness coach and body transformation expert, where we get into the real talk around supplements, perimenopause, and what actually helps your body at this stage. Denise shares what she personally uses and recommends most (like vitamin D, collagen, and creatine) and why strength training and nutrition still matter most before anything else. They also talk about how different everyone’s body is in midlife, and why you have to start paying attention to what actually works for you. Plus, some of the unexpected things that make a huge difference… like sleep, light exposure, and simple daily habits that can impact everything from energy to inflammation!

Hey Heal Squad! We’ve got the cutest couples from Bachelor nation in the studio today… fan-favorites Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson. And yes, they’re planning their wedding (we got some little updates ), but this conversation goes way deeper than just love and wedding talk. Kelsey opens up about losing her mom to aggressive breast cancer, and how that completely changed the way she looks at her health (including ’s being proactive with genetic testing & lumpectomies). We also talk about early detection, health anxiety (which so many of us can relate to), and supporting others going through cancer.Then Joey gets real about his own health, including living with Gilbert syndrome, and how Kelsey’s journey has pushed him to take things more seriously too. Together, they’re really trying to be more intentional and build healthier habits as a couple.And don’t worry, we still get into all the fun stuff… what their relationship is really like off-camera, wedding planning updates, whether Kelsey would ever do Dancing with the Stars, and what they’re thinking for their first dance. Spoiler alert! It may include Joey’s former DWTS partner! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Being healthy as a couple means holding each other accountable: Kelsey and Joey show that health isn’t just an individual journey,  it’s something you build together. It’s about creating a lifestyle where both partners feel supported, motivated, and responsible for their well-being. Early detection isn’t optional — it’s life-saving:Kelsey’s story is a powerful reminder that paying attention to your body matters. From finding lumps to undergoing preventative procedures and considering genetic testing, she emphasizes that you can’t ignore what your body is telling you, and taking action early can make all the difference. Real love is built in the quiet, everyday moments: While The Bachelor gave them a foundation, Kelsey and Joey make it clear that their relationship truly deepened off-camera and it’s all about  the simple things: being at home, watching a show, learning each other’s habits, and growing together in real life.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re kicking off something brand new today… and it’s so special. Maria is launching her very first Walk & Talk series! This is a real, raw, in-the-moment series where she brings you along wherever she is in the world. And for this inaugural episode, we’re taking you somewhere that has completely shifted her healing journey…El Salvador. More specifically, the magical beach town of El Zonte, a place Maria has quietly been returning to, and is now finally ready to share with all of you. The best part of this episode is that it truly feels like you’re right there with her! Keven is right beside her too, as they walk through their favorite local coffee spot, charming streets, lush nature, vibrant flowers, parrots, and ocean views. You’ll also find out WHY El Salvador has now become her new healing sanctuary (the energy of the land  has a lot to do with it!), along with her top healing breakthroughs like arriving with hot flashes, and how they completely disappeared once she got there. Plus, her improved digestion (it’s a little TMI, but you’ll survive!), lowest blood sugar levels she’s seen in years, and reduced inflammation (hello, flat stomach!). You’ll feel the calm, the joy, and the simplicity that Maria has been craving, and finally found as she has finally changed up her environment to heal! Maria also shares exciting news about an upcoming opportunity for YOU to experience this kind of healing firsthand…our one-day Heal Squad Reset experience! Enjoy!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! Kev kicks this one off with some music nostalgia (The Kinks, The Monkees, and a few Hall of Fame hot takes) before getting into something bigger… timing, letting go, and trusting that things happen when they’re supposed to. From watching Maria step into this next chapter with the Heal Squad Reset, to stories from his own career (being early on podcasting, seeing the world catch up later), it all points to the same idea: you can’t force what isn’t ready yet. There’s also a deeper layer around healing, why holding onto emotional weight can impact everything from your health to your success… and how the real shift might not be digging deeper, but actually learning how to let go. A little perspective for the week ahead, and a reminder: trust the timing, and don’t force it. Talk shawtly!

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad! This one starts in old Hollywood, Greta Garbo disappearing at the height of her fame (but secretly knowing exactly what she was doing), Oscars past vs. present, and why movies just don’t seem to hit the same anymore… even though Kev shouts out a few recent ones he actually loved (Song Sung Blue, Nuremberg, the Clooney film)! How the whole system really works, the politics behind Oscar wins, why so many recent films feel forgettable, and the realization that Hollywood might not matter the way it used to. Kev gets into what’s actually changing: audiences splintering, old entertainment shows quietly disappearing, AI starting to creep in, and why the people who are still thriving (Stallone, Taylor Sheridan) are the ones who create, not just perform. And for anyone trying to “make it” in the arts… the hard truth: you don’t do it for the money anymore. You do it because you love it, you learn everything, and you adapt to what’s coming next. A little nostalgia, a little reality check, and a very honest look at where things are headed. Talk shawtly!

Happy Friday, Heal Squad! It’s a Lonely Guy Friday: St. Patrick’s Day Week edition… and Kev takes us from holiday energy and Boston traditions into one of his wildest Kev-on-the-Scene stories yet. What starts with St. Patty’s Day nostalgia (parades, opening day, people coming back to life) turns into a full-blown storytime from the Caribbean Festival in Boston, a chaotic, dangerous event with fights, gangs, disappearing police, and one unforgettable escape plan that somehow gets everyone out safely. Underneath the insanity is something real: how people in power can treat others like they don’t matter, why trusting your instincts can save you, and how staying calm under pressure can make all the difference when things go sideways. Classic LGF storytelling, a little nostalgia, a little chaos, and a reminder to look out for each other along the way. Bye Betches!

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday and we’re bringing back a conversation with hormone expert Alisa Vitti that so many of you still ask about, especially when it comes to perimenopause, menopause, and feeling “off” in your body. Maria and Alisa get into what’s really happening with your hormones during these phases (from energy dips and mood swings to brain fog, weight changes, and sleep issues) and why so many women are told it’s “just part of aging” when it doesn’t have to be. Alisa also breaks down how your cycle (and the loss of it) impacts how you should be eating, working out, and structuring your day, and why doing the same routine every day can actually work against you. Plus, simple shifts to start supporting your body in a way that actually makes you feel better. It’s a really eye-opening conversation that will help you understand your body on a much deeper level!

Hey Heal Squad! We are back with Jeannie Mai and this time things get peri-personal…see what we did there? But seriously…if you’ve ever wanted someone to break down perimenopause in the simplest, most honest way, this episode is for you. Jeannie opens up to Maria about the moment she realized something was changing in her body. Things like disrupted sleep, forgetfulness. brain fog and dips in confidence. She shares how confusing the symptoms can feel and why so many women end up misdiagnosed when hormones are actually the root cause. We also talk about Jeannie’s new docu-series Balance on Apple TV and how it's helping lift the lid on what women really need to know about perimenopause. She also shares where she stands on dating right now and what she hopes men will understand about what women are going through during perimenopause. If you’re a woman in your 30s, 40s, or beyond ….or you just want to better understand what the women in your life may be experiencing… this is one conversation you definitely don’t want to miss. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Perimenopause symptoms are often misunderstood: Things like brain fog, insomnia, forgetfulness, mood changes, and confidence dips can all be linked to hormonal shifts. Many women are misdiagnosed instead of having their hormones evaluated: Symptoms are sometimes labeled as depression or anxiety when the root issue may actually be hormonal imbalance. Education around hormones is empowering: Understanding options like HRT & watching a docu-series like Balance on Apple TV can help women navigate this phase with more clarity.

Hey Heal Squad! What happens when two moms in their 40s look back at their 20-year-old selves? Let’s just say…there’s a lot of reflection, a lot of honesty, and a whole lot of “wow!” And honestly, this conversation couldn’t be more perfect for Women’s History Month. Today, Maria’s longtime friend, Emmy Award–winning host, producer, and entrepreneur Jeannie Mai joins her in the studio for a real, heart-to-heart conversation about motherhood, womanhood and boundaries. They talk about how coming up in the entertainment industry in their 20s meant being open, friendly, and eager to please … and how both of them learned later in life that without boundaries, that openness can leave you vulnerable. Jeannie shares how everything shifted for her in her 40s, and why she’s now teaching her daughter Monaco about confidence and self-protection early (even through jiu-jitsu!). Maria also gives a little Heal Squad insider moment about why she’s raising her daughter Athena mostly sugar-free  and how her family history with diabetes completely shaped that decision. We love how deep this episode gets about breaking generational patterns, protecting your peace, and raising daughters who know their worth. Enjoy, Heal Squad! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Boundaries create confidence: Maria and Jeannie share how learning to set boundaries in their 40s changed their confidence, safety, and sense of personal power. Raise daughters to trust themselves: Both moms are teaching their girls self-protection, confidence, and how to speak up for themselves. Healthy habits start early: Maria explains why she’s raising Athena with very little sugar to build a strong foundation and prevent future health issues.

And joining Maria today is podcast host and lifestyle advisor Kate Middleton from Toxic Free with KB. Together they’re diving into  questions about everyday products and how they can secretly be adding to our toxic load! Yikes! First, Kate shares her own health journey.

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! After yesterday’s conversation about the three questions successful people ask before making big decisions, Kev goes down another rabbit hole… this time exploring two powerful questions Tony Robbins uses to uncover the role we learned to play in childhood! The discussion dives into how many of us unknowingly become the achiever, caretaker, peacemaker, or comedian in our families… and how those roles can quietly shape the decisions we make for the rest of our lives. Kev and Anne share some personal reflections about family dynamics, why some of us become the “fixer” or the “responsible one,” and the bigger question: is the role you learned as a kid still serving you, or running your life? Plus a few classic Sunday Setup tangents along the way… from silent meditation retreats to Easter candy and, of course, a little wrestling history. Talk shawtly!

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad! Kev kicks things off with some nostalgic throwbacks… from Bay City Rollers music to the old days when parks and woods were the place everyone gathered on weekend nights. But the conversation quickly turns into something surprisingly thought-provoking after Kev shares a clip about three questions successful people ask before making big decisions. Why saying yes to one opportunity often means saying no to another, and the balance between thinking things through vs. just jumping in and figuring it out along the way. Kev also shares some behind-the-scenes stories from his career about opportunities people walked away from, and how sometimes the biggest successes come from simply being willing to say yes.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This episode starts with Morrissey nostalgia, music memories from the MTV era, and a Kev-on-the-Scene story about meeting Morrissey that quickly turns into a lesson about confidence, credibility, and how you approach people in life. From there we get into a fascinating experiment about perception…how people often see exactly what they expect to see and why adopting a victim mindset can quietly shape the reality you experience. Kev shares a few Boston stories along the way, from mob figures to tough bosses, all landing on the same realization: even the roughest people usually have a moment of humanity somewhere in them. Perception, perspective, and the reminder that what you look for in the world… you often find. Bye Betches!

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday, and today we’re going back to a conversation where Maria shares what she’s been learning on her meditation journey, and some of the breakthroughs that completely shifted how she thinks about stress, fear, and where we put our energy. After diving deep into Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work, Maria realized how much of our energy gets pulled into the past, worries about the future, and everyday stress… leaving almost no space to actually create the life we want. In this episode she talks about the power of being present, how our thoughts affect our health and nervous system, and why protecting your energy might be one of the most important things you can do for your future. It’s a really honest look at the mindset shifts she was working through, and a reminder that where you focus your energy matters more than you might think.

Hey Heal Squad! In this Heal in 20, longevity expert and Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner breaks down what people are getting completely wrong about living longer. From the obsession with protein and supplements to the endless stream of “longevity hacks,” Dan explains why the real secrets to a longer life are actually much simpler than the wellness industry wants you to believe. Drawing from decades of research studying the world’s longest-living populations, Dan reveals what people in Blue Zones actually eat, how their environments shape healthy habits, and why things like social connection, daily movement, and purpose matter far more than the latest health trend. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the conflicting wellness advice out there, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and focus on the habits that truly support a longer, healthier life.

Hey Heal Squad! What do you do when life changes in an instant? Today we’re finding out from someone who knows exactly what that feels like: Amy Purdy. Amy is a three-time Paralympic medalist, professional snowboarder, motivational speaker, and author. Her new book Bounce Forward: 21 Tools to Live a Life Beyond Limits (out April 14th) not only details Amy’s fight for her life at 19, when bacterial meningitis left her with a 2% chance of survival and led to the loss of both of her legs, but also the devastating health crisis years later that once again threatened her mobility. But instead of letting those moments define her limits, Amy rebuilt her life using the same mindset tools she now shares in Bounce Forward. Amy opens up about the mindset shifts that helped her move from survival to strength, including the power of visualization, and learning how to stay fully present when life feels overwhelming (like not being able to be on a snowboard for the past 7 years!). With the Paralympics happening right now, this conversation is a powerful reminder of the determination, resilience, and gold-medal mindset it takes to rise again when the odds feel stacked against you. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Visualization can support both performance and healing: Amy used daily visualization, imagining snowboarding, and running again, to help her body recover during her most difficult medical battles. Your relationship with your body matters: One of Amy’s most powerful practices is shifting from criticizing the body to appreciating it, even writing letters of gratitude to the body for everything it continues to do.

Hey Heal Squad! Ready for more simple life hacks to help your week flow a little easier? Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and she has 4 small shifts that made a big difference this week! First up, boundaries (especially when it comes to texting!) If you’ve ever felt that little flash of annoyance when your phone keeps buzzing, it might not actually be the person. It might just mean you need an easy boundary. Maria has a simple “3-text rule” that can help prevent this kind of overwhelm to protect your peace. Trust us, it’s a good one! Next, a simple nervous system reset anyone can do: an Epsom salt bath with baking soda. It’s a calming “twofer” that can relax your muscles and do wonders for your skin too. Be sure to take notes.Then we’re talking about the magic of getting to bed early. When Maria prioritizes earlier nights, she notices it creates more runway for quality sleep and this has seriously been helping during perimenopause, where rest can be unpredictable. She’s also sharing a few easy tricks that help signal the body it’s time to wind down… including one red light hack. Finally, something that’s been deeply grounding this week: faith, gratitude, and community. Maria opens up about how going to church has refreshed her spirit and helped her reconnect with what really matters. She also shares one simple morning practice that can help create that same sense of spiritual connection and gratitude in your own life.As always, take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and hopefully one of these little shifts can help your week feel just a bit lighter.

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad! Today we bounce from classic TV nostalgia (The Greatest American Hero, theme songs you never forget) to Broadway clips and Paul Lynde… and somehow land on a bigger conversation about friendships. What happens when your life starts changing but the people around you expect the old version of you? Why pursuing your goals can quietly trigger people who were comfortable when you were smaller. And how friendships built around shared environments don’t always survive personal growth. Kev shares the hard rule he learned chasing his dream: everything in your day has to support it. Not perfectly. But intentionally. Because half measures rarely get you where you want to go. Plus a new concept for handling tricky relationships: the “coffee and a crawler” conversation.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week starts with Musical Youth nostalgia and how MTV once had the power to turn a random music video into a global hit… something that might feel familiar in the TikTok era. Kev shares a classic Kev-on-the-Scene story from his MTV days: navigating a difficult head writer, getting shut down in the writers’ room, and the moment he stopped playing by someone else’s rules… leading to an opportunity writing short films for Jenny McCarthy and eventually running the show. We talk resilience, Hollywood politics, and why sometimes the path forward isn’t winning inside the system… it’s stepping outside it. PLUS, letting go of old grudges, focusing your energy on what’s next, and the simple rule: GMP — Get More Powerful. Bye Betches!

Hey Heal Squad! If you’ve ever had a big idea but found yourself stuck in your head… this one’s for you. In this throwback conversation, Shark Tank’s Barbara Corcoran joins us to share the mindset shifts that helped her go from struggling waitress to building a billion-dollar real estate business. Barbara gets real about why overthinking is one of the biggest things holding people back, why you don’t need the perfect plan to start, and how confidence is often something you build after you take the leap. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, waiting until everything feels “ready,” consider this your sign to start. Barbara’s advice might just be the push you need!

After our conversations with lymphatic expert Shelly Marshall, so many of you wanted just the facial poses and massages she walked us through… so we pulled them into a quick Heal in 10 (or 20) moment for you! In this short clip, Shelly shows the simple at-home lymphatic drainage face lift routine she uses to help depuff, lift, and get the lymph moving through the face. These are the exact facial poses and massage techniques she demonstrated during the episode, the ones many of you said you wanted to practice along with. If you want to understand the why behind all of this and go deeper into lymphatic drainage, make sure to go back and listen to our two-part conversation with Shelly. But if you’re just looking for the routine… you’re in the right place!

Hey, Heal Squad! Here’s the thing… starting a business is hard,  but keeping it profitable and growing? That’s where the real work begins. And today, Bar Rescue’s Jon Taffer is telling us what to do. He breaks down why businesses really fail (spoiler alert: it’s rarely just money), how ego and excuses (like fear!) quietly paralyze growth, and what real accountability actually looks like, in business and in life. We also talk about how to approach conflict in a healthier, more productive way and how businesses are leaning into wellness trends to bring in more conscious customers. If you’ve ever watched Bar Rescue (btw, season 10 is streaming now on Paramount!), you know things can get really heated, but Jon is sharing the #1 thing he’s done to help him turn his health around. And you’ll want to stay till the end,  because we reveal some seriously dirty truths about bars and restaurants… including menus, fruit flies, ice bins, salt shakers, and what you should absolutely not touch when you sit down for a drink. 😳🍸 HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Accountability Is the Turning Point: If something isn’t working, the fastest way forward is radical ownership. Start asking, “What could I have done differently?,” that’s when change begins. Stress at the Top Spreads Everywhere: Businesses fail in the nervous system of the leader. Chronic stress, burnout, and ego-driven decisions have a ripple effect, but when leaders regulate themselves and approach conflict constructively, everything stabilizes. Balance Is a Decision, Not a Luxury: Success isn’t just growth and income it’s sustainability. Jon shares how cutting back on work, reconnecting with nature, prioritizing health, and redefining what “enough” looks like transformed his life.

Hey Heal Squad! It’s another What Worked This Week with Maria,  and this one is all about simple shifts that can create real healing. First up a powerful breathing technique Maria was reminded of when she chatted with someone who does bioresonance therapy. Let’s just say if you have had moments of anxiety, fear, or just need a quick reset …this  exercise totally helps! It can help regulate the nervous system and move you out of fight-or-flight. Such a great tool! Next a spontaneous moment with her dad that turned into something magical. Using AI tools, they created an original song in Greek which is  proof that creativity and technology can come together in the most unexpected and beautiful ways. We promise this song will make you cry even if you don’t understand Greek. Then, have you ever had a “no plans” day?? Maria’s cancelled commitment led to a full self care day and again it was another great reminder that rest isn't a luxury, it’s necessary. Finally, forgiveness. Maria reflects on how holding onto anger can live in the body ( her hips are where she stores it!). But releasing it can open the door to true healing.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week we go from Julie Andrews, Walt Disney, and the battle over casting Mary Poppins… to why middle management so often misses greatness. Chuck Barris buying a bar just to knock it down. The difference between absurd comedy and mean comedy. And why waiting for “Santa Claus” to bring you your shot is a losing strategy. We also get into Netflix’s Reality Check… America’s Next Top Model, The Biggest Loser, kidfluencers… and the messy question of accountability.  PLUS: blizzard life in Connecticut, shovel reflections, Certs updates, Bazooka Joe vs. Double Bubble, and a full candy nostalgia spiral. Underneath it all: don’t wait for permission. Take the shot. Follow the fun. Bye Betches.

Hey Heal Squad! This was actually a past Patreon bonus… but it paired way too perfectly with our recent episodes with Shelly Marshall on lymphatic drainage not to bring it back for this week’s Throwback! Gaby Piccirilli, holistic health professional and reflexology expert, walks us through how to give yourself a natural facelift at home. No injections. Just your hands, simple oils, and knowing where to work. She breaks down why lines, puffiness, and sagging aren’t random… how stress, digestion, your nervous system, and even tension at the base of your skull show up on your face… and why working through the hairline changes everything. She shares exactly how to use Gua Sha, cupping, scalp massage, and pressure points to lift and bring your glow back. You’re going to want to try this immediately!

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with facial beauty expert Shelly Marshall, and this conversation goes even deeper. In this episode, we unpack the truth about fillers, how they can impact the lymphatic system over time, and why repeated use may block proper drainage and flow. Shelly explains what happens to us when lymph becomes stagnant (think cellulite and acne, crazy!), but shows us how to durian it too. Things like face yoga poses (yup, she shows Maria them!)  will not only help lift, plump, and reshape the face naturally over time, but it can help stagnant lymph flow. Shelly also shows us the benefits of a gua sha tool (and how to use it!), and why opening your lymphatic “ports” with it, is the secret to making it actually work. We also dive into the benefits of vibration plates and mouth taping, and how both can support lymph flow, posture, and even facial structure when done correctly. One of the biggest takeaways? Health is beauty. When your lymph moves, your nervous system is regulated, and your muscles are functioning the way they’re meant to, your face reflects that. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS When you move your lymph, you move stagnation: Puffiness, cellulite, and dull skin aren’t random. They’re often signs of slowed lymph flow. Movement, breath, and gentle drainage aren’t vanity, they’re physiology. Your face isn’t aging, it’s adapting to tension: There’s a big difference between strengthening facial muscles and holding stress in them. When you train the muscle intentionally (instead of freezing or overfilling it), the structure of the face changes naturally over time Health is the foundation of beauty:  When your lymph moves and your nervous system feels safe, your face follows.

Hey Heal Squad! What if the same goal most people chase with Botox could actually be done with your own hands? Today, we’re chatting with facial beauty expert and founder of Beauty Shamans and  Skin Within Studios, Shelly Marshall (you’ve probably seen her mostly on IG!), who walked away from the injectable world to show people how to lift and sculpt your face - NATURALLY! And yup, she’s here literally showing us how it can be done. How facial massage & face yoga can help relax your facial muscles resulting in no more Botox! FYI: Shelly is walking proof! She also gives us a breakdown of how lymphatic drainage can also relax muscles naturally, reduce puffiness, support the nervous system, and improve overall flow. She’s also showing Maria where key lymph nodes are, why direction matters when draining, and how simple daily movement….(even getting in the ocean!) can support lymph drainage!. We definitely think you'll walk away understanding your face in a whole new way and have the techniques to say your final goodbye’s to injectables. ENJOY! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Relax the muscle, restore the face: Botox works by relaxing muscles  and you can train that same relaxation naturally with facial stretches. Flow equals glow: Puffiness, tension, and stagnation are signals. Hydration, movement, &  drainage techniques can help your lymph move waste out and bring circulation back in. Nature Is Medicine: Water naturally stimulates the lymphatic system. The pressure of waves, the minerals in sea water, and full-body movement in the ocean can act like a natural lymphatic massage,  supporting circulation, detoxification, and cellular repair.

Happy Friday, Heal Squad! It’s a Regular Guy Friday that kicks off with Easter candy already invading Target shelves and somehow spirals into Boston sports nostalgia, remixing stadium anthems, and the unexpected life lessons inside renovating a hoarder house in Connecticut. Updates from acting class, what it feels like to be pushed, seen, and challenged in a new way, and the Olympics. A hilarious energy vampire video that hits a little too close to home, and yes… serious consideration of bringing back skeeball as a league sport. Underneath the randomness is something real: trying new things even when it’s uncomfortable. Not letting noise dictate your direction. Following what gives you energy. And remembering that growth doesn’t always look dramatic, sometimes it looks like showing up, staying curious, and laughing at yourself along the way. Very RGF. Bye Betches!

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday, and today we’re going back to a conversation about stress… the real kind. The moments where everything piles up, your nervous system is fried, and you’re just trying to keep it together. Maria gets honest about navigating hard seasons, family stuff, uncertainty, and those full-on overwhelm spirals we all hit sometimes. And she shares what actually helps her come back to center in the middle of it, simple resets, small mindset shifts, and the reminder that even in chaos, you still have more power than you think. Plus, some fun chats in between :) This one feels like a deep breath. Enjoy, Squad!

Hey Heal Squad! February always gets us thinking about love… so today we pulled together some of our favorite relationship moments with incredible experts like Dr. Laura Berman, Dr. Nicole LePera, Dr. Nadine Macaluso, and Danielle LaPorte, the voices who’ve helped us better understand intimacy, red flags, healing old patterns, and what real love actually looks like. There’s talk about keeping the spark alive, why we repeat the same relationship dynamics, how to spot love bombing before it’s too late, and the small ways we can start showing up with more honesty, compassion, and self-love. Basically… all the stuff we wish someone had explained sooner. We hope this one gives you something you need right now. Enjoy!

Hey, Heal Squad! What happens when your body literally forces you to slow down? Sometimes it shows up as a cold… sometimes a diagnosis… and sometimes something much bigger. That’s exactly what happened to Kerrie Lee Brown, Editor-in-Chief of SUCCESS Magazine and now a passionate heart-health advocate. In honor of Heart Health Month, Kerrie shares the story of the heart event that changed everything at just 39 years old. She was at the peak of her career, juggling life and family, and brushing off subtle symptoms she now realizes were serious warning signs.In this episode, you’ll learn what those early signs looked like (and why they’re often different in women), plus the 10 signals your body may be asking you to slow down. More importantly, we talk about why doing more isn’t always sustainable,  and how learning to say no, protecting your energy, and removing constant urgency can actually support long-term health and healing. If nothing else, let this conversation be your reminder to start listening to your body sooner. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Your body warns you long before a crisis: Symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, headaches, and unusual pain aren’t “normal busy life” they’re early signals asking you to pay attention. Burnout isn’t strength, it’s stress accumulating: High achievers often push through(out of guilt or productivity pressure), but ignoring limits doesn’t build resilience, it builds risk. Prevention lives in daily habits and boundaries: Regulating stress, resting without guilt, and protecting your energy can change your health trajectory more than powering through ever will.

Hey Heal Squad! It’s a brand new What Worked This Week, and Maria is sharing 5 breakthroughs that she can’t wait to tell you about! First up… a major “aha” moment! So Maria just got a lymphatic massage…. and after a recent chat with an upcoming guest (stay tuned 👀)... Maria has begun connecting the dots between lymph node removal, surgery, radiation, and what we often label as “belly fat” or cellulite. What if some of it isn’t fat at all… but stagnant lymph? Maria shares some ideas on how a lymphatic massage, gentle movement, and rebounding on a trampoline can help naturally move the lymph. And she’s getting deep on body acceptance too! Next, her  sleep and screen breakthrough and how eye masks and blue light blockers are officially non-negotiables, along with Dr. Zach Bush’s Ion Gut Support to feel better after meals. Then… widgets. Yes, phone widgets. Maria just discovered them (no judging!) and says they’ve completely changed her digital habits. And finally, a sugar-free sweet potato recipe that’s Athena approved. So enjoy these little shifts that are proving some game changing results! We can only hope they work for you too!

Happy Potluck Saturday (and Valentine’s Day!) Heal Squad. Surprise!! Today we’re popping Super Bowl halftime fantasies, Valentine’s Day history, and of course a little candy time. We talk trolling for fun (not harm), why lightness is sometimes the smartest response to a loud world, and how a halftime show is really just a business play anyway… so you might as well add buttered popcorn dancers and commit to the insanity. We talk how Valentine’s Day went from Roman ritual to Hallmark pressure cooker, and why doing kind things daily beats one performative day every February. Nostalgia marketing, candy loyalties, cupid skepticism, doilies that won’t die, and the lasting trauma of elementary-school Valentines. Whatever you’re doing (buying discount candy, dodging expectations, or auditioning as a dancing snack) remember to keep your perspective and follow the fun. Talk shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week we talk why Hollywood (and the old “who cares?” celebrity machine) feels like it’s running out of gas… and why the people who win now are the ones building their own ark before the flood hits. How a Super Bowl ad or halftime show turns into everyone’s hot take… and how to keep your head, enjoy the show, and still have standards (especially when it’s a family event). Why being “on the scene” isn’t about being impressed, it’s about noticing what’s shifting, what’s manufactured, and what still matters. We talk nostalgia as strategy: how old brands already did the hard work, why rebooting them is genius, and how one missing shoutout to the Certs community turned into a full-blown apology tour, atonement arc, and a surprise comeback story. We talk “fight-or-flight,” how animals (and humans) act differently when they’re not stressed, why constant stress breaks your body over time, and why peace and joy might be the real “protocol.” Conspiracies, compassion, and the danger of letting noise hijack your nervous system. PLUS, we land on the only rule that keeps the whole thing moving: follow the fun… and if you can’t, you’re no fun. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! Because Valentine’s Day is this week, we’re throwing it back to a powerful conversation all about relationships, codependency, and the patterns we don’t even realize we’re repeating. Kev and Kelsey sit down with human connection specialist Mark Groves to unpack why we’re drawn to certain relationship dynamics, what people-pleasing is really costing us, and how something he calls a “sacred pause” might be the exact reset we didn’t know we needed. From attachment styles to boundaries, grief, anger, and learning to actually choose yourself… this one goes deep in the best way. If relationships have ever left you confused, stuck, or wondering why this keeps happening… this throwback is full of those big aha moments Heal Squad loves. Enjoy!

Hey Heal Squad! Ok, we think this episode will blow your mind!  If you’ve ever felt tired, puffy, brain foggy or all of the above…basically INFLAMMED…this conversation with Dr. Josh Redd is a total answer to all those questions. Dr. Redd, author of The 30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Reset and a leader in functional and personalized medicine, explains to Maria how tiny, chronic inflammatory responses in the body are quietly driving these fatigue-ish flare-ups. The big aha? Inflammation isn’t random! It’s often your immune system reacting to everyday triggers. The good news: you can calm it. Dr. Redd breaks down how stress, blood sugar, movement, and food can either fuel inflammation or help heal it. For instance, Maria’s jaw literally dropped when Dr. Redd explained how coffee could be contributing to her puffiness! You’ll also learn why sunlight is a powerful anti-inflammatory tool, which key lab tests can reveal hidden inflammation, and the top two foods most commonly linked to flare-ups. If you’ve tried everything and still can’t figure out why your body feels off, this episode could be the answer you’ve been waiting for. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Inflammation isn’t just swelling, it’s your immune system stuck on high alert: Chronic inflammation can quietly drive fatigue, brain fog, puffiness, hormone issues, and autoimmune flare-ups long before you feel “sick.” Your environment may be as inflammatory as your diet: Sunlight, stress, air quality, water, and even simple habits (like wearing shoes indoors) can either inflame your body or help it heal. Stabilizing blood sugar & removing top trigger foods can change everything:  Keeping glucose steady,  and addressing gluten and dairy,  can dramatically reduce inflammation, improve energy, and calm autoimmune activity.

Hey Heal Squad! It’s time for another What Worked This Week… and this one starts with the little things making Maria’s life way easier right now. Think genius travel hacks (carry-on only?!), the cutest pajamas ever, and tiny systems that are actually helping her feel more organized and calm. But then… the conversation takes a turn. Into people-pleasing, the labels we carry that were never really ours, and the wild realization that you might be the “villain” in someone else’s story… and that’s okay. Yep, we’re going there today… It’s honest, it’s real, it’s funny, a little deep… and we think you’re really going to love this one.

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad. Today’s conversation with Kev and Anne starts with a dream… and turns into something much bigger. A BIG realization about obligation, over-functioning, and the roles we keep carrying long after we’ve outgrown them. The duo talks about what it means to help without feeling trapped, to revisit the past without being owned by it, and to recognize the moment when you no longer have to prove yourself the way you once did. If you’ve ever felt responsible for everything (all of us have at some point…) this one’s a reminder that you’re allowed to put some of that weight down. Talk shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week, Kev shares a few real-life lessons that hit deeper than expected… why going after what truly gives you joy is often the fastest path to clarity, energy, and purpose. How many people feel stuck not because they lack talent, but because they’re chasing what doesn’t light them up. And why sometimes the simplest shift (doing the thing that gives you energy) can change everything. PLUS, Kev-On-The-Scene dives into the Grammys, celebrity empathy, hard work, influence, and the complicated reality behind headlines… along with a reminder to question what we hear, think critically, and stay grounded in truth. Real talk and a few classic RGF tangents along the way. Bye Betches!

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back for Part 2 with bestselling author and performance coach David Nurse, and this conversation is all about how to actually build the life you long for, not just dream about it. In this episode, David breaks down why belief comes first, even before strategy, and why preparation is the key to stay in flow. You’ll also find out how your environment, and your day-to-day can shape your ability to stay in flow, and how our phones can seriously hijack our attention and throw us off course! But don’t worry, David has simple, practical ways to set boundaries so you can feel more present, creative, and calm. Most importantly, this episode is full of compassion and hope. David and Maria remind us that true flow isn’t built overnight,  it’s built with consistency, grace, and a little patience with yourself. If you’re ready to feel clearer, steadier, and more in charge of your life, this conversation is for you! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Move your body, move your brain into flow: Small, consistent movement creates clarity, momentum, and better performance. Your phone is your biggest flow blocker, boundaries are freedom: Protect your attention and your energy comes back. Discipline isn’t grind,  it’s preparation:  When you prepare well, you get to perform effortlessly 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/host AUDIBLE:  https://audible.com/healsquad AG1: drinkag1.com/healsquad  GUEST RESOURCES: David Nurse Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidnursenba/?hl=en David Nurse Website: http://www.davidnurse.com David Nurse  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-doctor-the-nurse/id1226281669 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! What does it actually mean to be “in flow”  and can we get there more often on purpose? In this episode, bestselling author and performance coach David Nurse breaks down the science of flow, what’s happening in your brain when you’re “in the zone,” and why most of us get knocked out of it. He walks us through his proven Flow Code: a simple daily routine using breath, visualization, and mind-body practices that can train your brain toward flow. We also dive into what elite athletes do differently (deep practice, not busy practice), the Flow Trifecta of passion, purpose, and what you actually do for a living, and how uncertainty, distractions, and your environment can quietly block your best performance. If you want clearer focus, less overthinking, and more effortless days, this episode will show you how to start building a more flow-driven life! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Flow is trainable, not accidental: You can literally condition your brain for flow through simple daily practices like breath, visualization, and presence. Your environment and attention shape your energy: Less phone + clearer space = clearer mind. Small changes in your surroundings create big shifts in your flow. Tiny wins build lasting momentum: When you stack simple, intentional habits, confidence compounds,  and flow follows.

Hey Heal Squad! Today Maria is telling us all about What Worked This Week! And yup,  it’s exactly what it sounds like: a real-time peek into the tools, habits, and tiny upgrades that are helping her move faster, feel better, and actually follow through on her ideas. From discovering an AI program that’s helping her organize projects and turn big dreams into action, to recommitting to sunrise walks (with the whole family!), and a tool  that’s sparking momentum right now. If you’ve been craving a little reset, a burst of inspiration, or proof that small shifts really do add up, this episode is your nudge to get moving, and we hope you feel it immediately. Take a listen, we just know you’ll love it!

Happy Friday, Heal Squad! It’s a Regular Guy Friday that starts with the Go-Go’s, turns into a Lifesaver apology tour, and somehow ends with candy history, tiki bar dreams, and a little Hollywood chaos. Kev and Anne get into why the old-school candies hit different, and the surprisingly fascinating story behind the five-cent checkout treat that became an empire. Plus, a very real dad moment as Kev navigates Athena’s first sick night — steam showers, crisis mode, and all. PLUS, Kev-On-the-Scene makes a comeback to discuss a little Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama. Funny, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of Friday check-in you didn’t know you needed. Bye Betches!

Hey, Heal Squad! Ready to make more and feel confident about your money in 2026? Your Rich BFF Vivian Tu is back and she just dropped 10 HUGE SECRETS that can help you pay off debt faster, invest smarter, and be really smart, strategically , about the way you spend your money, honey! The New York Times best selling author is also giving up these secrets and more in her brand new book: Well Endowed: The Secrets to Strategic Spending, Building a Financial Foundation for You and Your Family, and Creating Lasting Generational Wealth.  From crushing high-interest credit card debt to learning how to invest without fear, mastering her secret Triple Dip recipe (aka getting cash back from credit cards), and how to set up estate planning to protect your family and your legacy….Vivian breaks it all down in a way that’s practical, empowering, totally judgment-free, and it will give you the confidence to be better about your financial health and and your financial future in 2026! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Your Money Should Be Working For You, Not Sitting Still. Money doesn’t get tired, take breaks, or go on vacation. When you invest consistently (even small amounts), your money can grow in the background through compounding. Strategic Spending Brings More Freedom. Vivian teaches that saving up for meaningful goals (like a home, investments, or family security) creates more long-term happiness than chasing short-term “little luxuries.” Talking About Money Is The First Step To Financial Power. Avoiding money conversations keeps people stuck. Vivian emphasizes that discussing finances with your partner, family, and even yourself builds clarity, confidence, and protection.

Hey Heal Squad! Have you been feeling stuck in your healing? Your energy? Your mojo? Thinking …maybe you should give this chat show a listen! Maria just dropped a HUGE aha moment and it’s too good not to share: You can’t heal in the same environment that made you sick. Yup, Maria is sharing how changing her environment, (ya know, moving from LA to Connecticut, and visiting the Dominican for some equator  healing) has shifted her nervous system, inflammation, and helped bring her mojo back. She’s telling us how things like sunlight, clean air and water, and even quick “micro-retreats” can shift your entire day, or maybe your entire health journey. Get ready to listen to what’s been working for Maria and possibly what could work for you and get you back in the driver's seat of your own healing journey! Enjoy!

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again and made it through another week! This week, Kev takes a look at how punk rock used to mean rage… but now? Maybe kindness is the real rebellion. A reflection on how Iggy Pop went from chaos to calm, and why Superman (not Batman) might actually be the hero we need right now. How real success isn’t found in likes or headlines, but in Target pretzels, your dad’s corner store coffee, and creating something that makes people feel less alone. Why detaching from outcomes often brings better ones, and how letting the old way die sometimes makes space for the truer path. RGF bonus: Dustin Hoffman on what real success actually looks like, Larry Bird’s beer-fridge dream, ‘Kev On the Scene’ with Karamo Brown skipping the press tour, Bowie’s Heroes, and how you can be one too… just for one day!

Hey Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to one of our most soulful, grounding conversations about fear, healing, and what it really means to live from love instead of survival mode. Maria sits down with holistic health coach, yoga teacher, and author Koya Webb to explore how fear isn’t something to run from, it’s feedback guiding you toward deeper healing and self-trust. Koya breaks down how unresolved fear, trauma, and emotional suppression show up in the body, relationships, and even illness… and why aligning with love is the foundation of real healing. They also dive into topics about turning obstacles into growth, releasing stored emotional energy, and using simple daily practices to come back into balance. It’s all about choosing yourself a little more each day and your highest self is already within reach!

Hey Heal Squad! Today Chris Appleton is with Maria and if you thought you knew his story… think again. Beyond the exterior of being a celebrity hairstylist (he’s worked on some of the most iconic women in the world like Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Ariana Grande), Chris is opening up about a side of his life the world has rarely heard. In this episode, Chris goes deep into the generational trauma, childhood labels, and bullying that shaped him at age six, and the years he spent abandoning himself in order to perform for the world. He also speaks candidly about the night he tried to take his life after coming out: a moment that was both devastating and, shockingly, the beginning of his reinvention. But Chris’s story doesn’t end there. He was rescued, and that moment became his second chance to live authentically. This is all detailed in his new book, Your Roots Don’t Define You, and reminds all of us that becoming who you really are is always worth the fight. If you’re on your own path of  transformation, this is a must-listen. Just a heads up, it’s a very honest and vulnerable conversation, so please listen with care.  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Reinvention Begins With Returning to Yourself: Chris reminded us that reinvention is about going back to the version of yourself you’ve abandoned & real transformation begins when we choose to see ourselves without apology.  How to Break Generational Patterns: Trauma can get passed down quietly through silence, survival, and emotional suppression. But healing can move forward through awareness, therapy, and refusing to live by the labels you were given. It can stop with YOU!

Hey Heal Squad! Last week Maria talked about getting her mojo back, but this week she’s sharing how she’s making sure it never leaves her again! And it all starts with one of the best, simple morning rituals that’s so easy, it almost feels too good to be true. Literally, 4 questions to ask yourself before the day begins! What are they? Listen to find out… Maria is also sharing a sweet life update with Athena that includes a surprisingly deep (and hilarious) makeup question she hit her with the other day. Moms, trust us, this one’s going to make you think. PLUS, Maria has 3 hacks she’s using to start her mornings with more intention (so the day doesn’t run her, she runs it)! Yup, it's been a new season of flow, organization, ease, because here’s what we know, when we shift our energy, we begin to change our reality.

Happy Sunday Set Up, Heal Squad! This one’s about how we move through Sundays, some of us needing to rest, some of us needing to stay busy, and how that ties into the bigger conversation around authenticity and integrity. About choosing what actually feels aligned for you instead of what you think you “should” be doing. We also get into frequency and vibration… how life tends to respond to the energy we’re carrying more than the actions we take, and what it looks like to let go of guilt, trust your own contribution, and head into the week a little clearer.

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad. Today’s dish comes courtesy of candy bars, wrestling legends, and an unexpected lesson about intelligence, performance, and vision. Kev and Anne start with Milky Ways, Three Musketeers, Jawbreakers, and the eternal bar vs. box candy debate… and somehow lands on Captain Lou Albano, entertainment psychology, and why the people who change culture are often misunderstood while they’re doing it. A look at character versus chaos, insecurity versus strategy, and how larger-than-life personas are sometimes built as armor, not ego. Including stories about wrestling, Cyndi Lauper, Rock ’n Wrestling, Hollywood gatekeepers, and why so many great ideas get dismissed simply because they arrive before people are ready to see them. A reminder that vision often looks messy, confidence often masks fear, and the most interesting people are usually the ones who don’t fit neatly into anyone else’s box.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad. This week, Kev and Anne talk about what happens when duty, guilt, and habit start overriding the signals your body’s been sending for years. A reflection on being the reliable one, powering through when something no longer fits, and why so much burnout and illness isn’t about food or routines, it’s about what we tolerate out of obligation. A look at the full-body no, family roles that keep us frozen in old versions of ourselves, and why choosing yourself can feel selfish before it feels sustainable.

Hey Heal Squad! To continue the theme of longevity, we focused a lot on nutrition and supplements, but what if some of the biggest drains on your energy have nothing to do with food at all? In this throwback conversation, Maria sits down with Dave Asprey to explore how your everyday environment may be quietly working against your health. Dave breaks down why light is more than just something you see, it’s a biological signal your body responds to all day long. From harsh LED lighting and constant screen exposure to EMFs and travel stress, he explains how modern environments can disrupt your circadian rhythm, sleep, mitochondria, and overall energy… even if you’re doing all the right things with diet and exercise. Dave shares simple ways to support your body by working with your environment instead of against it, like managing blue light, improving sleep quality, and making small changes that can have a big impact on how you feel day to day. It’s your reminder that healing doesn’t always require more effort, sometimes it starts with changing what surrounds you.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/host AUDIBLE:  https://audible.com/healsquad AG1: drinkag1.com/healsquad  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/?hl=en  Website: https://daveasprey.com/  Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com/  Part 2: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/870-heal-your-hormones-w-dave-asprey/id1320060107?i=1000655649245  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! Here, health is always top of mind, but what’s the point of health if it doesn’t actually give us more life to enjoy with the people we love? Lucky for us, longevity expert Dan Buettner, the National Geographic Explorer, Emmy Award-winning producer, and 5x New York Times bestselling author is back with Maria to break down the real secrets behind living longer (and healthier) in a way that’s actually doable. He breaks down what the longest-living people eat, how they socialize, and the #1 weekly habit that can add up years to your life. You’ll also get a peek at Dan’s newest cook book Blue Zones Kitchen One Pot, that's packed with fast, delicious, longevity-focused meals you can make in under 30 minutes. Get ready to hear the 100 year old, grounded blueprint that feels real and totally doable in everyday life! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS The Longevity Diet Is Simple & Not Protein-Obsessed: Blue Zones data shows a consistent pattern: ~90% whole plant foods, with meat as a rare staple, challenging America’s protein fixation and marketing narratives head-on. The Past Beats the Biohack: Slow food, ritual, and community outperformed peptides, apps, and AI. Instead of adding more complexity to health, Dan shows us how the simplest, oldest behaviors are the ones that work: cooking over convenience, connection over isolation, and purpose over constant productivity.

Hey Heal Squad!  Have you ever felt like you lost your mojo at some point along the way? Yeah,  it happens to all of us… even Maria. In fact, Maria didn’t even realize she had lost hers until she started finding it again. Today, Maria gets deep about how she found her mojo after nearly a decade of doggy-paddling through life and health challenges. Ya know,  those seasons where things feel like they’re finally going right, and then suddenly - Boom! Crash! Sound familiar? But Maria has finally said buh-bye to that and shares what’s helping the pendulum finally swing the other way. Hint, Hint: It didn’t come from just one thing, rather six! From supporting her body, to creating dedicated space in her home, and  building systems that remind her what matters most. And this isn’t in a perfection-driven way, but in a progressive, flexible, grace-giving way! Just like Maria tells her daughter Athena: when you fall, what do you do? You get back up!  And sometimes, the very hardships that knock us down are the ones that catapult us into our next level and help us find our mojo again! Enjoy!

Happy Sunday Set Up, Heal Squad! This one’s about starting the year with awareness instead of pressure. Kev and Anne talk about why “new year, new you” might not be the move… and why an energy journal could be a better place to start. Not to fix everything, but to notice what’s draining you, where your energy is leaking, and what emotional clutter you’ve been carrying without realizing it. The obligations, patterns, conversations, and habits that quietly exhaust you. This episode is an invitation to assess before you act. To notice what gives you energy, what takes it, and how much space might open up when you stop gripping what no longer serves you. No big declarations. No overnight reinvention. Just honest awareness and a softer, smarter way into the year. If you’re unsure where to begin in 2026, start here.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday, Heal Squad. Today’s dish comes courtesy of The Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man, and a surprisingly useful lesson about hearts, attitude, and being all in. Why showing up with joy matters more than people realize. How talent helps, timing helps, but attitude might matter most. Stories from The Wizard of Oz, Jerry Maren (the original Lollipop Kid), classic movie sets, and what happens when you choose to be on the “sunshine committee” instead of keeping score. Why some people keep missing opportunities, why negativity weighs everything down, and how being present, positive, and fully in can quietly change the entire trajectory of a life. Wherever this Saturday finds you, may this episode remind you that being all in still counts for something.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad. This week, Kev and Anne take a look at the modern internet circus, where everyone’s a character, outrage is currency, and the loudest voices are often the least thoughtful. A reflection on midwits, sadness farming, victory farming, and why presenting as “deep” has somehow become its own performance art. How online mobs form, how people monetize emotion, and why being surrounded by confidence without curiosity is more exhausting than ignorance ever was. How different generations were shaped, and why the internet rewards behavior that would’ve gotten you politely escorted out of the room not that long ago. A reminder that not everything deserves your reaction, not every argument deserves your energy, and not every trend deserves your attention. Sometimes the healthiest move is perspective, humor, and remembering that life is still best treated as entertainment with occasional lessons.

Hey Heal Squad! If you’ve ever checked all the boxes of “success” but still felt unsettled on the inside, you need to hear this. On this Throwback Thursday, Maria sits down with Lewis Howes, 3x New York Times bestselling author and host of The School of Greatness, for a conversation about emotional healing, trauma, and what greatness really means. Lewis opens up about the childhood experiences, unresolved pain, and emotional wounds that followed him into adulthood, even as his career, finances, and public success continued to grow…They even unpack why achievement alone can’t heal inner pain, how emotional wounds get stored in the body, and the moment Lewis realized he had to stop running from his past and finally face it. He shares the tools that helped him begin healing, and how he learned a specific process completely reshaped his relationships, sense of peace, and definition of success. If you’re on a healing journey, navigating emotional triggers, or questioning why “doing everything right” still doesn’t feel fulfilling, this episode is a reminder that true greatness starts from within!

Hey Heal Squad! If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to turn a dream into reality, and sustain it with grit and determination, you’ve got to hear this episode!  Maria is with the one and only Anastasia Soare, iconic founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills and author of her new memoir Raising Brows, for an honest about leadership, discipline, health, and legacy. Anastasia is living proof that when you believe in yourself, you can be more powerful than the money, connections, or privilege you may or may not have. Anastasia opens up about immigrating to the U.S. as a single mom after escaping communist Romania in search of freedom, opportunity, and a better life… and how that journey shaped her unshakable mindset. She gets candid about the tough sacrifices and even tougher decisions that came with building her empire (including firing her own daughter from the company!), whether she would ever consider selling her billion-dollar brand, and the health non-negotiables that protect her mental and physical stamina. At its core, this conversation is a reminder how success comes from leading your life with discipline and intention. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS Choosing uncertainty over comfort: Anastasia made the life-altering decision to escape communist Romania, immigrate to the U.S. as a single mother, and bet on herself with no money, no language, and no safety net…prioritizing long-term vision over short-term security. Protecting her health while building success: Anastasia decided early on to manage her emotions, release past trauma, and refuse burnout as the cost of success, focusing on discipline, presence, and health non-negotiables so she could sustain both her empire and her well-being.

Hey Heal Squad! Happy New Year! Today Maria is looking back on everything 2025 taught her (especially all the hard stuff!), and sharing how she’s getting grounded, organized, and truly empowered heading into 2026. Maria opens up about why challenging seasons are often preparation for your next level, how faith carried her through moments that didn’t make sense at the time, and how she’s getting ready to leave old habits behind, like… disorganization!! She actually has two simple systems she’s using right now, including a smarter to-do list that actually works and makes life feel lighter instead of overwhelming. Plus, Maria also gets real about emotional health, relationships, and why pausing to practice empathy can change everything. She also reflects on some of the biggest lessons learned from the incredible experts we’ve talked to this year, like Dr. Bland who reminded us health is not just the absence of disease, but about being functional. Because no matter what, healing really begins with your environment, your daily habits, and your mindset, all working together, to truly become the CEO of your health. Enjoy friends!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad. This Sunday Set Up is about slowing down, staying present, and allowing yourself to be exactly where you are as we step into the new year. Kev shares a vivid dream that opens a conversation about creativity, self-acceptance, and the habit many of us have of over-explaining or giving credit away instead of simply enjoying the moment. Anne also opens up about a long-running recurring dream, and what it means when you finally feel safe enough to let go. A gentle check-in about releasing emotional weight, trusting yourself, and entering 2026 without needing to justify your joy.

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad. This one starts with stories… and ends with a line that might change how you walk into rooms, conversations, and family gatherings in 2026: We’re not doing this. Kev reflects on saying yes too fast, learning to pause with “let me get back to you,” and why excitement doesn’t have to mean instant commitment. From business decisions to big life choices, sometimes the most powerful move is giving yourself space to think. Kev shares a New Year’s Eve moment where the old pattern almost took over… and how choosing not to chase, fix, or manage it changed everything. This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to ride every merry-go-round you’re invited onto. You’re allowed to walk away. You’re allowed to protect your energy. And you’re allowed to say, calmly and clearly, this stops here.

Welcome to the first Regular Guy Friday of 2026, we fooled them again!! This one lands right in that strange pocket between years, when everything went fast, everything was a lot, and you’re finally catching your breath. Kev and Anne talk about endings, beginnings, growth, grief, and the realization that sometimes progress looks like doing less, not more. The best of times, the worst of times, and how both can be true. There are stories, laughs, food debates (holiday editions only, please), old-school references, and a real conversation about boundaries, money, guilt, and why saying no doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. How most things work themselves out, even when you’re convinced they won’t. And why going into a new year might be more about what you stop doing than what you add. A reset, a few laughs, and a reminder that picking yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. Bye Betches, and Happy New Year!   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/maria  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  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! Today’s episode takes you straight into the makeup chair on the set of Maria’s new project, where, surprisingly, the most honest and transformative conversations of the entire shoot happened. Between touch-ups and scene resets, Maria and her glam team opened up in a way that was raw, real, and completely unfiltered. They dove into motherhood, emotional overload, and the pressure so many women feel to shrink their feelings so they’re not labeled “too much.” What unfolded was a powerful reminder that vulnerability isn’t something to hide… it’s something to honor. Maria also brings in a moving clip from Tori Deal, who shares how coming off antidepressants helped her reconnect to her emotional depth and reclaim vulnerability as a source of strength, not shame. If you’re feeling big emotions this time of year, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone,  and that your emotional depth may actually be one of your greatest superpowers. Enjoy!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday, Heal Squad. We’re setting up the weekend, and maybe the year, with one simple question: If not now, when? This is a reflective Pot Luck Saturday with Kev about joy, timing, and all the moments we keep postponing for “later.” How so many of us look back and realize we were more stressed than we needed to be… and how the life we’re waiting to enjoy is usually the one right in front of us. Kev talks about giving too much away, taking things too seriously, chasing the next milestone, and forgetting to ask what actually brings us joy. Just a reminder that now counts. And if you’re not going to live your life now… when exactly is that supposed to happen? Talk shawtly!

Happy Boxing Day, Heal Squad. It’s a festive Lonely Guy Friday, coming to you from the quiet stretch after Christmas, when the wrapping paper’s gone, the expectations ease up, and reality sneaks back in. Kev reflects on why Christmas feels like it flies by, why we build so much pressure around one perfect day, and why maybe the spirit of the holiday matters more than the sermon about what it shouldn’t be. A look at generosity versus shame, giving versus guilt, and why kindness and being seen might be the point after all. A reminder that you don’t have to fix everything, carry everyone, or solve decades of dysfunction during the holidays. Sometimes the most generous thing you can do is protect your energy, keep your heart open, and let people walk their own path. Happy Boxing Day, wherever you are and however you’re spending it.

Happy Christmas, Heal Squad! With 2026 just being a week away, we’re revisiting one of our most practical and empowering conversations to help you reset your health the right way. This throwback episode originally kicked off 2025 with a fresh approach to fitness and nutrition, and the lessons are even more relevant now. Maria sits down with fitness coach, nutritionist, and chef Christina Gomez to break down how women should actually be training and fueling their bodies as hormones change. From why high-intensity workouts may be working against you, to how strength training, isometrics, and cortisol-friendly movement can support metabolism, energy, and longevity, this episode reframes everything we’ve been taught about fitness. If your 2026 goals include feeling stronger, less stressed, more balanced, and more in tune with your body (not burned out by it), this throwback is the perfect way to reset, refocus, and build habits that actually last. 💛 -- 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/maria  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crunchystinaa/  Listen to Part 2: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1014-whats-hiding-in-our-sushi-how-to-meal-prep-like/id1320060107?i=1000684991929  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! For Christmas week, we’re throwing it back to two of our favorite conversations from the year, and this one with Hannah Brown felt especially worth revisiting as we reflect, reset, and prepare for what’s next. In this throwback, Hannah shares the parts of her journey that happened far beyond the spotlight. She opens up about navigating PCOS, chronic inflammation, hormonal challenges, and the emotional toll of living in constant pressure and survival mode. From being dismissed by doctors to feeling disconnected from her body, Hannah walks us through the moment her body finally demanded deeper attention, PLUS how healing began when she stopped pushing and started listening. As the year winds down, let this episode be a grounding reminder that real change often starts quietly… with awareness, compassion, and the willingness to release old patterns before stepping into the next chapter.

Happy Christmas Sunday, Heal Squad. Yes, Christmas Sunday, we’re still making it a thing! Today is a cozy, wandering, holiday check-in filled with stories, laughs, nostalgia, and a few truths you didn’t know you needed. Kev and Anne talk about light displays, holiday traditions, gift tins that promise more than they deliver, and why the best holiday treats should actually feel special. A spirited (and very serious) discussion on cookies, popcorn, brittle, peanuts, and why some gifts are more about the container than what’s inside. We hope it’s a light in your jam-packed week, and sets you up for the Holiday week. Bye Betches!

Happy Christmas Saturday, Heal Squad! Yes, Christmas Saturday… We’re making it a thing. Today starts with a moment from Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town that may be one of the most powerful lessons on change, generosity, and choice there is. How even the most hardened people don’t change through force, they change through kindness. How life doesn’t turn around all at once… it turns on your next choice. Kev talks thoughtful gift-giving (not expensive, meaningful), why the best gifts say “I see you,” and how presence, connection, and small rituals are what actually make this season special. Whatever you’re doing today, shopping, traveling, catching up, or hiding out, may this episode help you soften, choose differently, and enjoy the people right in front of you. Talk shawtly!

Happy Friday, Heal Squad! This Lonely Guy edition of Regular Guy Friday lands in that narrow stretch between the holidays and the new year… when everyone’s tired, reflective, and quietly asking, “Did I do enough?” How maybe we need to redefine what “finishing strong” really means. It may mean closing deals, wrapping projects, and riding momentum into the new year. But maybe it means slowing down, setting boundaries and protecting energy. How self-betrayal (not rest!) is what actually blocks what comes next. How these two weeks are magic and the best time to catch up annually with dear friends. A cool Sean Whalen story reminds us to always 'be open' and a sure fire way to create luck and opportunity. A cool Carl Reiner story reminds us of the love between a father and son. A poignant Rob Reiner story reminds us all to be empathetic, grateful and tolerant.   Bye Betches!

Hey Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to one of our most unforgettable conversations of the year with the one and only Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg. Jenny gets real about her son’s life-threatening seizures, his autism diagnosis, and why trusting her intuition changed everything, even when it meant facing intense backlash. She shares the behind-the-scenes truth about her advocacy journey, how she was talking about the gut-brain connection long before it was mainstream, and how that path ultimately led her to creating her clean beauty brand, Formless Beauty. This episode is raw, honest, and filled with those “wait… WHAT?!” moments that remind us why listening to your body (and your inner voice) matters so much!

Hey Heal Squad! Have you noticed more robots showing up in your doctor’s office lately? You’re not imagining it! Dr. Jason Snibbe, one of the country’s top orthopedic surgeons (and the man behind countless celebrity joint replacements, including yes, Kris Jenner’s hip surgery) is here to tell us why robots may be one of the most advanced healing tools we’ll ever have. But do they actually work… and should you trust them? He’ll tell us if we should and the everyday exercises that are secretly aging your joints (you’re probably doing this one daily!), and the one exercise that becomes non-negotiable if you want longevity. And if you’re hoping to avoid the operating room altogether? He shares the prevention strategies and regenerative therapies that might save you from ever needing a replacement. Consider this your crash course in becoming the CEO of your joint health,  with a few “wait… WHAT?!” moments you’ll be thinking about long after the episode ends. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: AI + Robotics Are Redefining Joint Surgery:  Robotics now allow surgeons to place implants with near-perfect precision, reducing complications and improving recovery. AI can quickly create custom plans to determine the best implant for you. Prevention Starts With Muscle, Not Mileage:  The biggest protectors of your joints are your muscles. High-impact running, deep hip/knee bending, and weak muscle mass accelerate damage, while resistance training becomes a must for protecting your hips, knees, and spine as you age.

Hello Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with two major forces behind the Environmental Working Group …aka EWG: Ken Cook, President and Co-Founder, and Jocelyn Lyle, Executive VP of Mission & Partnerships. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really in your products, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. Maria first learned about EWG from Jenny McCarthy, and it’s been her gold standard in clean and safe ever since. But today isn’t just about clean mascara or safer lotion… it’s about something far bigger: the hidden toxins in our everyday routines…like drinking water! Ken and Jocelyn are here to break down how we can fix it and uncover how dangerous chemicals sneak into personal care and household products. They also share how EWG is helping all of us, from busy parents to conscious consumers make smarter, safer choices without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re stepping into 2026 with a mission to protect your health, clean up your routine, or finally understand what’s actually going on your body (and in your water), this conversation will change how you shop, how you think, and how you care for yourself from head to toe. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Legal” does not mean safe : U.S. regulations for cosmetics and water are decades behind scientific research, which means harmful chemicals can be completely legal yet still linked to health problems. Your water likely contains multiple contaminants: Between PFAS, agricultural runoff, industrial chemicals, and aging infrastructure, water across the country includes contaminants that treatment systems can’t fully remove. Hidden toxins are everywhere, and companies don’t always disclose them.
