Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Hey Heal Squad! It's Friday, we fooled them again, and somehow made it through another week. It's another RGF Heal Squad Weekend Edition, coming to you from across the pond, where Kev is living the Lonely Guy life in London. We talk about punk rock hair, haunted hotels, soccer with billionaires, flat Diet Coke and stale pretzels, and why sometimes feeling better isn't another life hack….it's getting outside, finding some sunlight, and maybe letting the ocean knock you on your ass once in a while.We talk radio disappearing, doom scrolling versus actually learning something, and whether every minute really needs to be productive. Plus, with Mercedes chasing history, why presentation matters, what Michael Jordan understood about looking the part, and how sometimes showing the world your value starts with remembering it yourself. Plus, the $70 econo suit, Ziploc bag travel hacks, and proof that no matter how important the room, Regular Guy Kev can still rock it like a United flight attendant. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! After Jennie Garth opened up to us about having hip replacements, we knew we had to bring back this conversation with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe, especially after seeing what happened with surfing legend Kelly Slater! Let's just say he was back in the water, surfing those waves, just nine months after undergoing a robotic-assisted hip replacement performed by Dr. Snibbe. So what does that tell us about how far joint replacement has actually come? Listen and learn what Dr. Snibbe has to say in this throwback episode! Dr. Snibbe breaks down how robots are changing orthopedic surgery, whether they actually make procedures more precise, and what you should know before ever considering a joint replacement. But more importantly: can you prevent yourself from needing one in the first place? He reveals the everyday exercises that could be aging your joints, the movement he considers non-negotiable for longevity, and the prevention strategies and regenerative therapies that may help protect your hips and knees for years to come. So if  you're dealing with joint pain now or simply want to stay strong, consider this your crash course in becoming the CEO of your joint health. Enjoy!

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with Jennie Garth, and we're picking up right where we left off…with the health secret she kept for years: her hip replacements. Jennie gets real about why she was embarrassed to tell anyone, what finally made her stop hiding, and we also get into the deeper work behind her memoir, I Choose Me, including why Jennie spent so much of her life dimming her own light to make other people feel bigger. She shares the simple words from a therapist that completely shifted the way she saw herself, why learning to actually love herself became essential to her mental health, and the tools she still reaches for when she starts feeling disconnected from herself (think mirror work, journaling, “joy boards,”and vision boards). Plus! Jennie reveals a surprising new health diagnosis she just discovered, gets candid about menopause and the HRT “trifecta” that's working for her, and tells us why saying NO has become one of her biggest forms of self-care. And wait until you hear what she says about Dancing with the Stars…would she EVER do it again?!We also talk about the next evolution of I Choose Me, from building Me by Jennie Garth alongside her daughter to expanding into the home, and why everything Jennie says yes to these days has to have one thing in common: purpose.So many laughs, so many takeaways, and so many reminders that choosing yourself isn't selfish…it might just be the thing that brings you back to YOU. Enjoy, Heal Squad! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Stop Dimming Your Light to Make Other People Feel Bigger: Jennie spent years making herself smaller and eventually realized she was allowed to be proud of who she was. A therapist telling her “it's okay to be amazing” helped change the way she viewed self-love, not as selfish or egotistical, but as essential to her mental health. Knowing What Makes You Happy Isn't Enough, You Have to Take Action: Jennie uses journaling, mirror work, a “joy board” filled with simple things that make her happy, and vision boards to reconnect with herself. Her biggest lesson: you can think about changing forever, but eventually you have to actually do something, and then stay persistent and consistent. Every “No” Makes the Next One Easier: Jennie is much more selective about the work she accepts now, choosing projects based on whether they feel meaningful enough to take her away from her family, home and life. Saying no still scares her, but every time she does it and realizes the world keeps turning, the boundary gets easier.

Hey Heal Squad! What better way to celebrate the back-to-school season than with one of TV's most iconic high schoolers: the one and only Jennie Garth, aka Kelly Taylor from Beverly Hills, 90210. Since leaving West Beverly, Jennie has built an incredible life and career…. starring in What I Like About You, competing on Dancing with the Stars, raising three daughters, writing her memoir I Choose Me, and creating a whole new chapter around what it really means to choose yourself. Today, Jennie opens up to Maria about the rock-bottom period after her divorce and the biggest mistake she says she made: isolating herself instead of letting people support her. She shares what actually helped her climb out, like  friendship, nature, therapy, creativity, and becoming determined to feel joy again. They also look back at the 90210 years, what it was like to spend her entire young adulthood on set, why leaving the show felt like a grief process, and how the cast eventually found their way back to one another later in life. Plus, Jennie gets candid about her health journey… from a shocking jet ski accident with Luke Perry to severe memory issues that led her to Dr. Amen and a brain scan. This one is part nostalgia, part healing, and a powerful reminder that sometimes choosing yourself starts with simply deciding you want to feel better, and staying persistent until you do. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Isolation Makes Hard Times Harder: After her divorce, Jennie admits she isolated herself out of shame and now wishes she had let her friends support her sooner. Getting outside, hiking with friends, meeting new people and allowing laughter back into her life helped her begin climbing out of that period. Pay Attention to What Your Brain + Body Are Telling You: Jennie's severe memory issues became so concerning that she feared early-onset Alzheimer's or dementia. A brain scan revealed irregularities that Dr. Amen could be connected to a past head injury, while Jennie also believes then-unrecognized perimenopause was contributing. You Have to Be Persistent in Your Quest to Feel Better: Jennie says she became determined to feel joy again, trying different therapies, workshops, spending time in nature and eventually rediscovering creativity through designing a home. Her takeaway: change required consistency, figuring out what kind of life she actually wanted, and doing more of what made her feel alive.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and she is JAZZED for this one! She's sharing 5 things that worked for her this week and the surprising thread connecting all of them: PAYING ATTENTION! First, Maria reveals the ridiculously simple bedroom change that made a HUGE difference with her hot flashes (seriously, wait until you hear this one!). She also shares the Dermalogica  LumiFusion facial she swears by for glowing skin and the two things she thinks may be behind her suddenly clearer pores. Hint, hint...one is something she removed from her diet and the other is one of her favorite morning routines. Plus, Maria tells us why she's officially an outlet-shopping convert after scoring the bedroom set she wanted for around half the price, and then things get a little deeper. Then, a scary moment this week made her realize that sometimes what feels like a disruption in our lives may actually be the redirection we've been asking for. Maria also shares an inspirational post that came to her at exactly the right time about putting down the phone, creating more silence, listening to those little nudges, praying, and actually giving ourselves enough quiet to hear the answers we keep asking for. Don't worry, we linked the post in the show notes too! Can't wait for you to hear this one, friends. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk forgiveness, second chances, and what it means to choose compassion when you have every reason not to. We talk about being wronged by someone, the instinct to shut the door, and how sometimes remembering our own mistakes can help us see the person behind theirs. We talk about addiction, desperation, and giving someone another chance without ignoring what happened. How forgiveness doesn't mean having no boundaries …sometimes it means putting the right protections in place while still choosing kindness. And how a simple “you're loved here” can mean everything to someone who feels like no one is in their corner. We talk about the difference between “but” and “and.” I understand what happened AND we can't have that here. Because maybe compassion and accountability don't have to be opposites. Maybe we can hold people responsible without shaming them, and protect ourselves without losing our humanity. This week, ask yourself: Who might need a little kindness from me? Where can I choose “and” instead of “but”? And is there something — or someone — I might finally be ready to forgive and let go? Have a great week, Heal Squad. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Slacks versus trousers, Dawn dish detergent, oil stains, and a trip through the fast-food restaurants of yesteryear. We talk about the power of Dawn on an oil stain, the Dawn and baking soda upgrade, and why you never put it in the dryer until you know that stain is gone. We talk about Burger Chef Fun Meal, Red Barn, Chicken George, Howard Johnson's 28 flavors, and the chains that were once everywhere until they weren't. We discover Burger Queen (which clearly needs to come back as Burger Kween!) debate New England subs, Pub Subs, beer-steamed hot dogs, Friendly's, and why a proper hot dog needs the snap. Kev shares the legend of Wayne Winky Gray: the Tipperillo, the personalized bar stool plaque, the rehearsals, the well-drink-only offer... and the night Winky went completely off script. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with forgotten fast food, Wonder Bread burgers, functional fuel dinners of the '70s and '80s, and Winky being Winky. We'll talk shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week, and another RGF Weekend Edition! This week, a peaceful day in the ocean turns into a shark feeding frenzy and a reminder that some people are everyone's friend, but somehow nobody's friend. We talk about chronic complainers, Victim Con, Eeyores, Facebook warriors, and what happens when complaining stops being something you do and starts becoming who you are. Why negativity can reward us with attention and a sense of importance—and why arguing with someone determined to be miserable may be about as productive as wrestling Andre the Giant. Sometimes you just need to get out of the ring. We talk about the power of gratitude, how the thoughts we repeatedly rehearse become the ones we automatically reach for, and why maybe the answer to all that darkness isn't more fighting—it's bringing a little light. Community cleanup days, It's a Wonderful Life, hot chocolate, popcorn, and maybe even a nice fleece vest. We talk about broken hips, smoke-break misery circles, junior plumbers, Popeye moments, and the reminder that we're all going to lose it once in a while. The trick may be catching yourself, finding something to be grateful for, and getting yourself back on course. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! Today for our throwback episode..we're throwing it to our chat with Blogilates founder and fitness entrepreneur Cassey Ho for a reminder that the best workout isn't necessarily the hardest one, it's the one you can actually stick with. Cassey breaks down why finding joy in movement may be the secret to finally staying consistent with exercise, and how to build a fitness routine that doesn't feel like punishment. She also opens up about her own struggles with body image, online hate, and body-shaming and what helped her rebuild her confidence when the criticism started affecting her mental health. Plus, Maria shares her own fitness journey, including how she lost 40 pounds and the mindset that helped her keep it off. Cassey also shares how she turned her passion for Pilates into Blogilates and built a fitness community that has helped millions of people rethink their relationship with working out.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and if you're a woman over 35, this might be one of the most important conversations you'll hear all year. For years, we've been told to eat less, do more cardio, and accept that weight gain, brain fog, low energy, and losing muscle are just part of hormones and getting older. But what if they don't have to be? In Part 2, Dr. Lyon shares what she calls the real playbook for women who want to stay strong, healthy, and independent for decades to come. She explains what actually happens to our muscles as we age, why your first and last meal of the day matter more than you think, and why resistance training isn't just about looking fit, it's one of the most powerful things you can do for your brain, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health.Maria and Dr. Lyon also bust some of the biggest myths women have been told about aging...from the idea that belly fat and muscle loss are inevitable to why walking alone isn't enough to maintain muscle after 35. Plus, Dr. Lyon shares her simple, realistic prescription for building strength at any age, including exactly how often to strength train, how much protein to eat, and why it's never too late to start. Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or looking to level up your routine, this episode is a powerful reminder that getting stronger isn't about perfection…it's about giving your future self the healthiest, strongest foundation possible. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Women don't need to spend the second half of life getting smaller, they need to get stronger. Resistance training and adequate protein are two of the most powerful tools for protecting your metabolism, brain, and long-term health. After 35, your muscles need more attention, not less. Prioritizing protein, especially at your first and last meal, and strength training consistently can help support energy, body composition, and healthy aging. It's never too late to build muscle. Whether you're 40, 60, or even 75, Dr. Lyon says your body is still capable of getting stronger (and healthier!) when you give your muscles the right stimulus.

Hey, Heal Squad! If you've been hearing everyone talk about building muscle but never really understood why it's so important, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a board-certified physician, longevity expert, and New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong, and she completely flips the script on what muscle actually does for our bodies. It turns out muscle isn't just about looking toned or getting stronger ...it's one of the most powerful organs for protecting your brain, supporting your metabolism, regulating blood sugar, and helping you stay healthy as you age. Dr. Lyon breaks down the fascinating connection between muscle and brain health, why brain fog and low energy may all be connected to muscle loss, and why simply building muscles are one of the best things you can do for your long-term health. They also dive into protein...like how much you really need, why quality matters, and the surprising role essential amino acids play in building and protecting muscle.Then they tackle one of the biggest health topics right now: GLP-1 medications. Dr. Lyon explains why they are posing another “problem” and although these medications can be an incredible tool, she talks about  why protecting your muscle through resistance training and proper nutrition is the piece of the conversation too many people are missing. If you've ever wondered what you should actually be doing today to protect your physical and mental health, this episode is packed with practical advice and plenty of "I never knew that!" moments. P.S. Be sure to check out Dr. Lyon's new book too: The Forever Strong Playbook, a step-by-step guide to help transform muscle health in 6 weeks! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Muscle is one of the most powerful organs in your body, not just for strength, but for your brain, metabolism, and longevity. Every time you move your muscles, you're investing in better cognitive function, blood sugar regulation, and healthier aging. Don't wait until you're sick to prioritize your health. As Dr. Lyon says, "If you don't have time for wellness, how are you going to have time for sickness?"  The goal isn't just to lose weight, it's to protect your muscles. Dr. Lyon challenges us to think differently about health, explaining that unhealthy muscle may be the real root of many chronic diseases and that preserving muscle is essential, especially in the age of GLP-1 medications.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with six things that made her week so much better….and this week, there's a theme: stop waiting for what you need and start creating more of it. Whether that is tackling a backyard project or the latest recipe form instagram, we hope this episode inspires you to create something you want more of. So first up, Maria shares why some unexpected alone time helped her recharge, get creative, and realize that needing space doesn't mean loving your people any less. Then, we get into what she's calling her “fun crisis”and the realization that if you're craving more fun, connection, or play in your life, maybe it's time to stop waiting for someone else to make it happen. Maybe it's time to (as they say at the Nike offices) JUST DO IT! Then we get practical: Maria shares how she's using ChatGPT to redesign and visualize spaces (like a new Heal Squad space!), and then a ridiculously simple trick that helped revive her rough, dry hair. Finally, new recipes! Maria shares two recipes that were actual hits with the family: sugar-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with one VERY unexpected ingredient, and a sweet potato pizza experiment.We hope you find one little thing in here that works for you this week, enjoy!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! Welcome to The Sunday Set Up, part of our new Heal Squad Weekend. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore why so much of life comes back to letting go… of outcomes, expectations, and the belief that happiness is waiting somewhere on the other side of the next accomplishment. We talk about the advice “not postpone your happiness,” and how easy it is to convince ourselves we'll be happy WHEN: we get the promotion, the money, the relationship, the house, or finally accomplish the thing we've been chasing. We talk growth mindset, doing your best without being attached to the outcome, and how sometimes real growth isn't pushing the rock harder…it's realizing you can finally put it down. We go deep into Kev's Speaker Emporium and Pagers, conversion vans, 80s sound systems, ”play personnel” skating-rink hot chocolate, the questionable love of vending-machine chicken soup, and the arrival of Halloween decorations. This week, ask yourself: What happiness am I postponing? What am I pushing too hard to control? And what might happen if I did my best… and then simply let go? Have a great week, Heal Squad.

Happy PotLuck Saturday! This week, we are joined by Heather Bifulco of Tidy Style. We talk about how organizing creates peace, if not happiness. How forcing yourself to organize can force you to assess the various pain points in your life that you are unaware of. We talk about how we underestimate the damage pain points do to our lives when they are added up. How organization begins with categorization and should always begin in the kitchen. And how visibility is accessibility—and the cure for all of our mismatched Tupperware. Happy PotLuck Saturday! We'll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week, and welcome to the inaugural Heal Squad Weekend Edition! This week, it's  Kev on the Scene Classic with Eric Estrada disco dancing, a 30-year-old Hollywood story involving CHiPs, Larry Wilcox, an angry cockatoo, a trampoline pool cover, and some firsthand perspective on a feud that may not be quite as simple as history remembers it. We talk why being number two isn't always such a bad gig, how ego and jealousy can keep us from recognizing when somebody else's success is actually pulling us up, and why playing alongside people better than you might just make you better too. Sometimes the smartest move is to stop keeping score and enjoy the ride. We talk Caillou controversy, always finding a workaround, bringing back “having a time,” Greek Day, gyro machines, disco balls, and why getting people together doesn't need to become like a catered wedding. We talk Mr. Brady being as much fun as a bag of wet hair, Popcorn and Clyde, Carney wisdom, and why maybe Saturday really is just another Tuesday. Life's too short to protect the calendar, keep score, or wait for the perfect day. Get some people together, have a time, and enjoy the ride. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Hey, Heal Squad! After hearing Jennifer Esposito's powerful celiac journey, we wanted to leave those who have gone gluten-free with a hopeful take on rethinking your relationship with carbs. That's why we're throwing it back to our conversation with bestselling author and gluten-free chef Phoebe Lapine. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto's and struggling with SIBO, Phoebe thought eliminating carbs altogether was the healthiest path forward. But through years of trial, error, and healing, she discovered something surprising: if you don't have celiac disease or a medical need to avoid gluten completely, healthy carbohydrates can absolutely have a place on your plate. In this episode, Phoebe explains why the goal isn't to fear bread or eliminate carbs, but to understand which carbohydrates best support your body. She shares how "slow carbs" can help stabilize energy, support gut health, and reduce the all-or-nothing mindset that diet culture has created around food. If you've ever wondered whether you really need to avoid gluten forever, or you're looking for a more balanced approach to healthy eating, this conversation is full of practical, empowering takeaways. Hope you enjoy it!

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Jennifer Esposito, actress, director, New York Times bestselling author of Jennifer's Way, and the writer-director-star of the award-winning film Fresh Kills. Today Jennifer is getting into the full story behind Fresh Kills… where the idea came from, what it cost her to make it, and why the industry did everything it could to make sure you never heard of it. From growing up in Staten Island surrounded by the mafia and the young women trapped inside that world, to betting her house(literally!)  on a film she believed in with everything she had, Jennifer takes us through the fight of her creative life. She opens up about members of the industry who didn't show up when she needed them most, the standing ovation at Tribeca that still couldn't get her a distribution deal for an entire year, and the Hollywood machine that tried to bury Fresh Kills. And now that a major studio is positioning their new Godfather film as the "first female mafia story"? Jennifer has something to say about that. Then just when you think the story can't hit any harder, she lands in Paris,  and for the first time in her entire life, her nervous system goes quiet. She tells us what life is like in Paris, and how she's finally transformed her life and health for the better.  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You were never the problem. Jennifer spent years in Hollywood shrinking herself to fit a mold that was never built for her…. told she wasn't the right type, wasn't white enough, wasn't the girl next door. The moment she stopped trying to be what everyone else needed her to be and started making Fresh Kills on her own terms, everything changed. Bet on yourself before you ask anyone else to. Jennifer mortgaged her house because she was done asking people who didn't believe in her to fund something they couldn't understand. When no one would greenlight her vision, she greenlit it herself. That is the Heal Squad mindset. Stop waiting for someone to give you what you already know you deserve, and start moving. You can't heal in the environment that made you sick. Three months in Paris and Jennifer barely recognizes herself. Smiling on the street. In the pool. Playing records. She says she has never in her entire life had a calm nervous system, until now.  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: 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 & DM Jennifer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jesposito/ Watch Fresh Kills On Amazon & Hulu: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0F1R6WV33?ref_=atv_dp_share_cu_r https://www.hulu.com/movie/fresh-kills-6dc67f61-efc6-4cf2-8000-06144ef58e9f Check out Jennifer's Way: My Journey with Celiac Disease--What Doctors Don t Tell You and How You Can Learn to Live Again: https://a.co/d/01EQTdB1 Check out Jennifer's Way Kitchen: Easy Allergen-Free, Anti-Inflammatory Recipes for a Delicious Life:  https://a.co/d/00PHXToq More About The AIP Diet: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/aip-diet-autoimmune-protocol-diet 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 is one of those conversations that will stay with you long after it's over. Actress, director, New York Times bestselling author of Jennifer's Way, writer-director-star of the award-winning film Fresh Kills, and the true CEO of her own health, Jennifer Esposito joins Maria to share how she took control of her well-being after decades of debilitating symptoms, panic attacks, and medical gaslighting…which all resulted into one of the most severe cases of celiac disease any doctor has ever seen!  Jennifer also gets into the brutal post-diagnosis detox nobody warned her about, how IV vitamin therapy became the game changer that finally turned things around, why the AIP diet is the reset she recommends to everyone dealing with autoimmune issues, and how healing her gut eliminated her severe panic disorders. If you've ever been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your symptoms are all in your head,  this conversation is going to make you feel seen, furious, and fired up to start asking better questions. Because the biggest breakthrough of Jennifer's life didn't come from a doctor. It came from refusing to stop until someone finally listened. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your body is always communicating, don't ignore it. Jennifer had symptoms from childhood that every doctor dismissed as anxiety, hormones, or hypochondria. The root cause was celiac disease so severe her liver was failing and her nervous system was in collapse. Her healing began the moment she stopped accepting "it's all in your head" and started treating her physical symptoms as real,  because they were. Healing your gut can change everything,  including your mental health. Jennifer went from four Klonopin a day and a full-blown panic disorder to living in Paris with zero anxiety and a calm nervous system. The difference was identifying and eliminating what was destroying her gut, rebuilding her nutrient levels through IV therapy, and giving her body what it had been starving for.  The sign you need to keep going might not look like what you expect. When Jennifer gave herself an ultimatum …get a diagnosis or accept that she was crazy… a log crashed through her windshield and she took it as a message from the universe to keep fighting. Whatever that sign looks like in your life, this is a reminder that giving up one day too early is always the biggest risk.

Hey, Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week and it is filled with such simple swaps that will give you back the energy you needed and the breakthroughs you've been looking for!  Maria finally spills the beauty secret she's been unintentionally gatekeeping: the foolproof three-step lip combo she swears by, plus the clean foundation that officially replaced her longtime favorite. Then she shares the surprisingly simple bedtime ritual that gave her the best sleep she's had in months (yes... it involves castor oil!) and the fascinating science behind why it just might work.Next, Maria reveals the unexpected everyday discovery that's completely changed how she shops, saves time, and manages a busy household. Let's just say... it has a bright yellow logo, and she can't stop talking about it.And then comes the moment that will absolutely melt your heart. Maria shares the sweetest conversation with Athena that turned into the greatest compliment she's ever received, reminding her that the most meaningful success isn't found on a résumé, it's reflected in the people who see us as our constant. These are the simple swaps, surprising breakthroughs, and heartwarming moments that made this week a little easier, a lot more joyful, and might just do the same for you. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore what really matters. We talk about why some people embrace solutions while others resist them, and why bringing positivity into the room isn't always met with the enthusiasm we expect. We talk about grief, how differently we all process loss, and why the greatest act of kindness is often the simplest like showing up, lending a hand, or quietly taking something off someone's plate. We talk about "inflatable boyfriends," cold cut platters as the ultimate sympathy gift, and Bill Murray's unforgettable reminder from Meatballs: "It just doesn't matter." Because when you're faced with loss, so many of the things we spend our days worrying about suddenly seem very small. This week, ask yourself: What am I giving too much energy to? Who simply needs me to show up? And what would change if I remembered that so much of what stresses me out... just doesn't matter? Have a great week. We'll Talk Shawtly.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Jo-Ann Fabrics, homemade Batman costumes, and somehow... balloons and refreshments all make the conversation. We talk about the battle for the last remaining hobby stores, the disappearance of Jo-Ann Fabrics, model trains, slot cars, Shrinky Dinks, Play-Doh, paint-by-numbers never being completed, and the hobbies that kept us busy long before screens took over. We talk about Silver Spoons, Mr. Rogers, department stores we miss, toys we couldn't wait to get, and why introducing kids to the classics might be the best way to make sure they don't disappear. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with homemade Batman costumes, childhood hobbies, classic television, Danish, balloon bouquets, and the return of the refreshment table. We'll talk Shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week. This week we talk about the back-to-school season, why childhood excitement doesn't seem to come as easily anymore, and whether having everything all the time has quietly stolen some of the joy of looking forward to something. We talk about why anticipation may be one of life's greatest gifts—and why sometimes the best memories weren't about what we got, but what we couldn't wait for. We also talk about Child World, KB Toys, Christmas traditions, RGF Observations from Pompeii, why archaeologists intentionally leave discoveries for future generations, and whether maybe we should leave a little something for ourselves to look forward to as well. We talk about the difference between friends who cheer you on and friends who keep score, why giving people room to grow is one of the greatest gifts you can give them, and how constantly waiting for "someday" can quietly steal the life you're living today. We talk about The Bad News Bears, backyard drama, fake work questions, Victim Con needing a rebrand, bar stool observations, and why sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop counting the days until retirement and start finding a little more peace in the one you're already living. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're throwing it back to a very special chapter in Maria's journey: Athena's first month! We know she just turned 3, but thought it'd be fun to visit Maria and Keven shared the joys, surprises, and lessons of new parenthood. They share Athena's incredible birth story (she is totally destined for something big!) and the meaning behind her name, to building a support system, documenting those precious early moments, and even wondering whether a sibling could be in her future. It's a sweet reminder to embrace the imperfect moments, lean on your community, and soak up the memories that go by way too fast! Hope you enjoy!

Hey, Heal Squad! Whitney Cummings is back for Part 2  and somehow the conversation gets even better. It honestly feels like you're sitting in on two friends swapping life hacks, laughing until they cry, and accidentally dropping some of the best advice you've heard in a while. Whitney shares the surprisingly simple mindset that's helped her stop feeling so overwhelmed (wait until you hear her "energy dollars" analogy...it's genius!) Then a story you haven't heard…Whitney admits she used to do clinical drug trials for as a broke comedian in LA, which then led to getting her thoughts on the supplement world, who's actually behind these vitamin companies, and a Rob Schneider story that you will not see coming. Plus, Maria and Whitney get into the wellness things we've all been doing that might not be what we think they are, chat about the state of the entertainment industry and why laughter might be the most underrated form of healing. Funny, smart, a little chaotic, and completely worth it. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Treat Your Energy Like Money. Whitney explains her "energy dollars" system: a simple way to stop overcommitting, protect your peace, and let go of guilt when your tank is empty. Stop Adding More, Start Simplifying. Instead of chasing every wellness trend, Whitney shares why making one small change at a time (“pick one”)  and trusting your own body leads to better health. The State of The Industry. Whitney explains why today's creators no longer need Hollywood's permission and why connecting directly with your audience is changing entertainment for the better.

Hey, Heal Squad! We have one of the funniest women in comedy in the studio today….Whitney Cummings! You know her as the creator and star of Whitney, 2 Broke Girls, and the host of the hit podcast Good For You. But today, you're getting a side of Whitney you don't see very often. She kicks things off by sharing the incredibly sweet reason she's admired Maria for years (seriously...it had us all emotional on Maria's birthday!), and from there, the conversation goes everywhere…but in the best way possible.We dive into motherhood after 40, postpartum depression, ADHD, anxiety, Hollywood's impossible beauty standards, female insecurities, navigating the overwhelming wellness world, even Spencer Pratt (yeah, somehow he gets into the convo!). Whitney is as hilarious as you'd expect, but she's also incredibly thoughtful and vulnerable, sharing the ways that helped her heal from childhood trauma and embrace this next chapter of life. It's funny, raw, validating, and one of those conversations that leaves you feeling a little lighter after listening. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS "Drop the Charges." Whitney shares the mindset shift that helped her let go of childhood resentment, find peace, and stop carrying the weight of her past. Postpartum Wasn't the End, It Was a Software Update. Whitney gets candid about postpartum depression, brain fog, and why reframing that season changed the way she healed. The Power of Mindset. From therapy and placebo to reframing difficult seasons, Maria and Whitney discuss how changing the story you tell yourself can completely change your healing.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week! And before we get to the heart of this episode (hint, hint: the post-vacation “re-entry blues”), she's sharing five things that genuinely made a difference for her this week, literally from head to toe. First up: a bee sting that accidentally turned into a barefoot strength-training breakthrough, a $4 at-home congestion hack that helped knock out a stubborn head cold, the Notes app system she wishes she had created years ago, plus a label-maker hack currently saving her cords around the house and the clean-up tool on the Iphone. On their own, these things may seem small, but Maria realized they were all doing the same thing: clearing something that was creating unnecessary noise.And that led to a much bigger realization. What if the reason you feel overwhelmed, off, or just not like yourself isn't because something is wrong, but because something needs to be cleared? After coming home from vacation, Maria found herself surrounded by physical clutter and dealing with what she calls the “re-entry blues.” But when she finally stopped pushing, gave herself permission to cry, and sat with what she was feeling, she realized the clutter around her wasn't actually what was weighing her down. There was emotional clutter underneath it all that needed clearing too.We get into why exhaustion isn't always physical, how to figure out what actually needs your attention, the questions Maria uses to recalibrate when she feels off, and why sometimes you have to stop trying to be productive and tend to yourself instead. Plus, Maria shares how her own “Guide Back to You” helped remind her of the tools, truths, and wisdom she already had when she needed them most.Because sometimes getting clear isn't about doing more or fixing yourself. It's about clearing what's in the way so you can finally hear yourself again. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore what it means to prepare for a world that's changing faster than ever. We talk back-to-school traditions, how technology has transformed the way we learn, and why AI may force us to rethink what education should really be teaching. We talk integrity, the surprising lesson that successful criminals work alone, and why the better path is building with people instead of taking advantage of them. We explore the idea behind "Poor Dad, Rich Dad," and why helping someone else's dream succeed can ultimately create more opportunity than trying to steal it. We talk encyclopedias, libraries, microfiche machines, Sears catalogs, hobby stores, and why back-to-school just doesn't feel the same when it starts in the middle of summer. This week, ask yourself: In a world where information is everywhere, what kind of person am I becoming? Have a great week. We'll Talk Shawtly.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! We talk Trapper Keepers, metal lunchboxes, Halloween Season, and Mrs. B. It's back-to-school shopping- a deep dive! We talk about character lunchboxes, thermoses, erasable pens, composition books, electric pencil sharpeners, school uniforms, layaway, the rich kids with Trapper Keepers, the first-day “premiere” outfit, and school shopping through the years. We talk about Sears, Bradley's, Caldor, Woolworth, Marshall's, lunchbox collectors, forgotten TV icons, why Halloween deserves its own season, and whether the 1970s and '80s really were the golden age of back-to-school shopping. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with school shopping, forgotten stores, lunchboxes, Halloween, the school supply aisle and a thermos full of soup. Happy Saturday Heal Squad! 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, a little 1926 jazz turns into a conversation about why the world doesn't seem to change the way it used to, the art of thinking ahead, and whether we've forgotten how to make small talk interesting. We introduce a few new RGF Observations and discover that "air pudding" might be the perfect description for conversations that leave you completely drained. We talk about building for the future, condo life versus country life, energy vampires, the newly invented civilian alarm, lingering house guests, and why curiosity will always beat talking about tomorrow's weather. We talk about 1926 jazz records, Oldsmobile Toronados, paper towels hidden from the Tyrannosaurus Rex, airplane tickets booked a year in advance, and why maybe the best thing we can all bring to a conversation isn't another complaint...it's an interesting observation.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're throwing it back to one of our most eye-opening conversations with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. If you've been following our recent episodes on mold toxicity, this is the perfect next listen because mold and Lyme disease often go hand in hand, sharing many of the same frustrating symptoms. Dr. Motley explains the surprising ways Lyme can enter the body, why so many people never fully recover, and the hidden role blocked drainage pathways play in keeping you sick. From EMFs, heavy metals, and mold toxicity to trapped emotions, he reveals how these invisible stressors overwhelm your body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and prevent true healing. We also dive into how trauma can become stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with fatigue and hormone imbalances, and why restoring your body's Qi (your electromagnetic life force) may be one of the missing pieces to lasting wellness. If you've been doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this throwback episode will help you connect the dots and finally understand what could be keeping your body stuck.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our must-listen conversation with Dr. Amy Myers…and this one is where we get into everything you actually DO about mold toxicity Dr. Amy walks Maria through the tests you actually need for mold toxicity, the detox protocol she uses in her own life to pull mycotoxins out of the body, and exactly how to clean up your environment (think dehumidifiers to HEPA filters to the food swaps that matter) …without having to build a mold-resistant house from scratch like she did. We also talk about simple things like how sweating daily, moving your bowels, and drinking filtered water aren't extras… they're detoxing. This is a great episode and playbook on what you can control with some amazing tools. So save this one and come back to it every time you move, renovate, travel, or feel a little "off" and can't figure out why. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS The tests to actually ask for (and the ones missing the real problem): Dr. Amy's full testing playbook includes starting with the HLA-DR gene test (available through LabCorp), the urine mycotoxin panel that shows what your body is excreting, the ERMI dust test that catches what standard mold air tests miss, and the specific immune markers (VEGF, C4A, MMP) that Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker uses to flag mold toxicity. She also names the mold inspector she trusts with her life! The 3 things Dr. Amy takes to get mold out of her body: Dr. Amy shares the exact 3-supplement stack she uses to detox mycotoxins: (1) acetylated glutathione, the number-one detoxifier in the human body, (2) a liver support supplement to help your liver process what's coming out, and (3) activated charcoal to bind the toxins and pull them out through your bowel movements. Then she connects it to the bigger picture : why infrared saunas, sweating daily, staying hydrated, and moving your bowels 1 to 3 times a day are the mechanisms doing the actual heavy lifting. How to clean up your environment (and what to eat) without moving out: Dr. Amy closes with her "control what you can" list of habits she runs every day to lower her exposure. Start with a HEPA filter in your bedroom (where you spend 8 to 10 hours a day). Add a dehumidifier to keep humidity under 35%,  and empty it out regularly so it doesn't become the problem. Filter your drinking water AND your shower water. Eat organic at home so your body can handle whatever the outside world throws at you. Watch out for fast furniture and imported wool rugs. And the biggest one nobody wants to hear: SWEAT DAILY!

Hey, Heal Squad! It feels like mold is everywhere these days...but how much of what we're hearing is actually true? That's exactly why we were so excited to welcome our friend of the pod, Dr. Amy Myers, back to Heal Squad. Dr. Amy is an internationally acclaimed functional medicine physician, 2x New York Times bestselling author (The Autoimmune Solution and The Thyroid Connection), founder of Austin UltraHealth, and host of the Take Back Your Health podcast. But here's what makes this conversation hit differently...mold toxicity is deeply personal for Dr. Amy. She's lost everything to mold three-and-a-half times. She's been diagnosed with PTSD. She flew in a trauma specialist to help her heal. And she is telling us everything she wishes she had known sooner.Today, Maria and Dr. Amy break down the biggest do's and don'ts of mold toxicity.This is the one you're going to want to send to everyone you know. We get into why toxic mold is so different from everyday household mold, why water-damaged buildings are the real hidden culprit, the gene 1 in 4 people carry that means their body literally can't clear mold (and why women are hit so much harder than the men living in the same house), why women are so often dismissed when mold is the underlying issue, and the surprising places mold loves to hide...even when you can't see it. The best part? Dr. Amy doesn't just tell us what to watch out for…she shares the simple habits she uses in her own home to help prevent mold before it becomes a problem, along with practical ways to lower your risk without living in fear. Trust us...this conversation will have you looking at your home a little differently, and it might just explain symptoms you've never been able to connect. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS The biggest mold do's and don'ts every homeowner should know: From why she avoids front-loading washing machines and installs leak detectors under every sink, to the mistake people make when buying brand-new homes and the difference between everyday mold and water-damaged buildings, Dr. Amy shares the practical habits she follows to protect her home…without living in fear. Women aren't crazy...they're being dismissed: Mold symptoms often look like anxiety, burnout, thyroid issues, brain fog, or perimenopause(1 in 4 people carry a gene (HLA-DR) that means their body literally cannot clear the toxins. Women are hit hardest.).. Instead of asking, "What's wrong with my body?" Dr. Amy says more women should be asking, "Could my home be making me sick?" It's a simple question that could uncover the hidden root of symptoms often blamed on hormones, stress, or aging. Dr. Amy built a mold-resistant dream home from the ground up and STILL got hit: If it can happen to her, it can happen to any of us, and that's exactly why you need to hear what she wishes she had known sooner.

Hey, Heal Squad! It's another edition of What Worked This Week, and this one might be Maria's favorite yet. Fresh off her trip to Greece, she's sharing the biggest lesson she didn't expect to learn: sometimes the best things happen when you stop planning every minute and leave room for life to surprise you. From a spontaneous visit to the healing island of Tinos to setting healthier boundaries with herself, Maria explains why protecting your peace might be the key to finding yourself again. She also shares her favorite Greece travel recommendations (including the breathtaking Odera Hotel and why Tinos belongs on your bucket list)!, why stargazing, family time, and meaningful conversations ended up being the most memorable parts of the trip, and how even work felt different once she stopped rushing and let her vacation unfold naturally. Plus, she's rounding up all the practical things that actually worked this week…travel wise! Like,  the viral Sudoku Packing Method that helped her pack lighter, Kevin's portable cooling fan that became her travel MVP, and the simple circadian rhythm trick she swears helped her beat jet lag. She also shares the sweet language hack that had Athena speaking more Greek than ever before! Such a fun update on life right now for Maria and we hope you enjoy it!

Happy Sunday!! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk about summer travel, weather delays, and a trip to the legendary Tanglewood. We talk about Arthur Fiedler, Tanglewoods,Great Woods, and reminisce about some of New England's most iconic musical traditions. We talk about the timeless motto of Highlights magazine: "Fun with a Purpose." We discuss creating a nostalgic magazine network to coincide with the novelty ice cream network and revisit Flat Stanley, the early DARK days of cable television, and growing up before every form of entertainment was just a click away. We talk about why everyone in Greece seems so healthy and non-consumers. Christmas being only five months away, and that Halloween decorations are already showing up in stores. This week, ask yourself: How can you bring Fun with a Purpose into Your Life! Have a great week! We'll talk Shawtly.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! This week we're taking a nostalgic trip back to a childhood that looked very different from today. Before Google, smartphones, YouTube, and social media, so much of what shaped us came from the simple things: magazines in the waiting room, books from the library, classroom reading cards, puzzles at the kitchen table, and the freedom to be bored enough to let our imaginations take over. We're unpacking the forgotten ecosystem that quietly raised an entire generation and asking what we've gained, what we've lost, and what might be making a comeback. From the child psychologists behind the "Fun with a Purpose" philosophy to the surprising lessons hidden inside games like Hidden Pictures and Goofus & Gallant, Kev explores how these small moments built focus, curiosity, empathy, and a lifelong love of learning. PLS bonus! AI articles, the truth about negative online comments and bots and why physical books and magazines may be more attractive to this new gen.   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, broadcasting from Athens with limited Greek, Coke Zero investigations, and billion-dollar brains. Today Kev gets into how one of Greece's biggest stars proves you don't need the biggest audience (you need the right niche!), and how a working vacation led to a humbling realization that the world's most fulfilled people share one uncommon trait: extraordinary self-awareness. He chats how the Enneagram goes beyond describing what you do and uncovers why you do it: what you fear, what drives you, and how your personality changes under stress. How the same behavior can come from completely different emotional engines, and why understanding those motives can transform relationships, leadership, and even your family. Then, how your greatest strength can quietly become your greatest limitation and how replacing “That's just who I am” with “That's the strategy I learned to use” can completely change how you see yourself. Kev also discovers he's a Type 2 Helper with strong Achiever and Challenger traits and why that explains a lifetime of building, protecting, overextending, and occasionally forgetting himself along the way. Plus, how successful families hold regular meetings to improve their relationships, why awareness is the ultimate competitive advantage, and why there are people in the castle and equally valuable people on the ground. Also, why simply showing up opens unexpected doors … and why the opportunity you're waiting for may already be waiting for you. Bye Betches!

Hey, Heal Squad! Summer is still going and we thought it'd be great for this TBT  to throw it back to an episode all about the “Summer of Heal.” In this episode, Maria shares the simple habits, mindset shifts, and daily practices that have made a real difference in both her mental and physical well-being. It's a reminder that healing doesn't always come from one big life-changing moment, sometimes it's the small, intentional choices we make every single day that create the biggest transformation. However you spend the rest of your summer, don't forget to make time for yourself, you deserve it!

Hey Heal Squad! Today's conversation is SO important… especially as we are in the middle of summer! Friends… did you know that drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4? Wild, right? We protect our children with the safest car seats, seat belts, and vehicles available,  yet when it comes to water, many families don't have the same layers of protection. So this summer, let's make our backyards safer. And save some lives while we're at it.Today we are joined by Pamela Baldwin, a swim instructor with over 25 years of experience and the founder of FINtastic Swim School. Maria has been taking swim and water safety intensives with her recently,  and it sparked one of the most eye-opening experiences of her life. In this episode, Pam breaks down everything we think we know about water safety and where we're getting it wrong. We talk about what drowning actually looks like (nothing like the movies), why your pool fence isn't enough on its own, the safety equipment every pool owner needs within arm's reach, and the one thing you bring to the pool every single time that you trust completely… that could actually make things worse.We also do a full myth-or-fact on swim safety, and we talk about the profound Drowning in Silence….the documentary we are asking every single one of you to watch.

These are the tools and resources every family should have to protect the people they love most around any body of water. Because let's be real… water safety starts with a conversation. So start the conversation today and help create a safer tomorrow.#StartTheConversationToday #IAmWaterAware #WaterSafety #DrowningPrevention #WATERAmbassador HEALERS & HEAL LINERS 4 Water Safety Tips To Protect Your Family: Recognize what drowning actually looks like,  it's silent, not splashing; Identify what's keeping your child safe versus what's giving you false security; Equip your pool with the right safety tools; Learn CPR and build a family emergency action plan before you need one Drowning doesn't make a sound. In real life drowning is fast, it is silent, and it almost always happens with someone nearby,  88% of the time, in fact. The single most powerful thing you can do is understand what it actually looks like. Telling one person what you learned today is an act of love. Water safety starts with awareness, but it doesn't end there. Every conversation, every added layer of protection, and every swim lesson makes a difference.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, we're talking about all things gut health, and honestly, this conversation answered so many questions we've all asked at one point or another. Like, I'm doing all the "right" things... but why do I still feel exhausted, bloated, inflamed, and not feeling like myself. Yeah, if you've been wondering, "What am I missing?" this episode is for you. Maria sat down with naturopathic physician and gut health expert Dr. Emily Hernandez to unpack one of the biggest hidden obstacles that could be standing in the way of feeling your best: biofilm overgrowth. Think of biofilms as a sticky protective shield that unwanted bacteria create in your gut, making it harder to heal it despite your healthiest efforts. Dr. Emily  explains how your gut impacts so much more than digestion. We're talking about your energy, mood, skin, hormones, and overall well-being.You'll also learn the warning signs your gut may be trying to get your attention, why detoxification matters, and how stress and environmental toxins can quietly make it harder for your body to heal. Plus, Maria shares one of her longtime wellness staples:Biocidin Botanicals. These are products she personally keeps on hand whenever she's having those pesky “tummy problems” or if she ever needs some immunity support (there's a throat spray she just can't live without!). Together, they dive into the science behind the products, how they support the gut and microbiome, and where to start to get you on the right track to help disrupt biofilm overgrowth. And yes, we've got a special Heal Squad discount waiting for you below! We hope you enjoy this one! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your gut is connected to more than digestion. When your microbiome is out of balance, it can impact your hormones, energy, mood, skin, and even the symptoms you might be blaming on aging or perimenopause. Doing everything "right" doesn't always mean you're addressing the root cause. Dr. Emily explains how hidden biofilm overgrowth may be one of the biggest reasons women feel stuck despite eating well, exercising, and taking supplements. Healing isn't about taking more supplements, it's about taking the right approach. Learn how to think about gut health, detoxification, and building a foundational wellness routine without feeling overwhelmed.

Hey, Heal Squad! Summer is here, things are (hopefully!) slowing down a little, and what better time to talk about Maria's favorite subject...sleep! If you've been tossing and turning, waking up exhausted, or wondering why you're doing everything right but still aren't getting the deep, restorative sleep you need, this episode is for you. We pulled together some of our favorite conversations with sleep experts Dr. Roger Seheult, Dave Asprey, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Kelly Sullivan Walden (and trust us, there are so many gems packed into this one!).You'll learn how some of your everyday habits might be sabotaging your sleep without you even realizing it, the surprisingly simple changes you can make to your bedroom and nightly routine, and even how your dreams might help you find clarity, solve problems, and manifest the life you're working toward. The best part? None of these tips require a complete life overhaul. They're practical, doable changes that Maria has learned (and actually uses!) from years of interviewing some of the smartest experts in health and wellness.So grab your favorite cozy blanket, hit play, and let's help you get the kind of sleep your body (and mind) have been craving.

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. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

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!
