Wir springen in dieser Folge in die Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Ein Augenarzt bereist in dieser Zeit nicht nur sein Heimatland England, sondern das gesamte vereinigte Königreich, schließlich auch den Kontintent und landet dann in Leipzig. Dort hat der berühmteste Musiker der Stadt, Johann Sebastian Bach, schon länger mit einem Augenleiden zu kämpfen, und der berühmte Augenarzt aus England wird ihn operieren. Nur, geht das auch gut aus? Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über Chevalier John Taylor, der in der Medizingeschichte manchmal als Pionier und oft als Quacksalber bezeichnet wurde, der aber tatsächlich eine Art Zwischenwelt in der Medizingeschichte bewohnte, in der die beiden Eigenschaften oft nicht so einfach voneinander zu trennen waren. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG443: J.S.

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. Your Body Is Fighting Back — On Purpose: Physical activity helps you maintain your weight, but it does not help you drop it. She explains exactly why the body defends its set point and what it actually takes to change it.

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.

A new peer-reviewed study of nationwide German data finds suspected adverse-event reports for COVID-19 vaccines were sharply elevated in the earliest weeks of rollout, then fell suddenly. The authors call it a possible batch-dependent safety signal. Danish physician Dr. Vibeke Manniche, the study's lead author and the only Danish doctor to speak out publicly against lockdowns from the start, joins to break down the findings. Published in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine, the analysis covers the first three and a half years of Germany's vaccination campaign. For one product, early-rollout reporting rates were roughly 80 times higher than the rates seen just weeks later. Dr. Manniche also makes the case for why the US could learn from Denmark's childhood vaccine schedule. Filmmaker Michael Pack, president of Palladium Pictures, discusses their new WSJ Opinion documentary “The Lockdown Dissidents.” Director Rand Courtney speaks on “La Lucha: Getting Schooled in America,” which follows five teens through poverty, trauma, and a broken school system.

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.

Writing a book is a goal that many people talk about for years, but very few actually follow through. We convince ourselves that we'll get started when life slows down, and before you know it, years have gone by with a great idea just sitting on the back burner. As someone whose life was completely transformed by writing The Miracle Morning book series, I truly believe a book can become one of the most valuable assets you ever create. It can amplify your impact, preserve your legacy, and open doors that would never have opened otherwise. Today, I'm joined by my good friend Chandler Bolt, the founder of SelfPublishing.com and author of Published.: The Proven Path From Blank Page To 10,000 Copies Sold. Chandler has helped thousands of authors write and publish their books and, in the process, has scaled his company into an eight-figure business. In our conversation, Chandler explains why writing a book can become the best business card you'll ever create, how to leverage your book to grow your business, and how he's using AI to help authors write better books and build better companies.

Nintendo Switch Online has proven itself to be quite a robust collection of classic Nintendo retro games, but there are still a number of first-party Nintendo published games we have yet to see on the service. Vince Goodwin from the Some of My Friends Read Comics podcast joins to go through all of them, including which are most likely to come to Nintendo Classics and the ones we'd be most excited to see from NES & SNES to GBA & Gamecube. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Microsoft's XBOX division closing several studios, a big update to the eshop on the original Switch, new details unveiled about the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

In this episode of Published and Paid®: The Podcast, Jasmine Womack shares what it really takes to write a thought-leadership book that sells and supports a business.Note: This episode is being reuploaded from the Published and Paid podcast archives.A powerful book is not just a passion project. For coaches, consultants, speakers, and experts, a book should be created with a clear strategy, a strong framework, and a purpose beyond book sales. Jasmine explains why strong writing alone is not enough and why positioning, marketing, and monetization must be considered before the first chapter is written.This episode is for experts who want to turn their expertise, experience, and personal story into a book that establishes authority, supports speaking opportunities, strengthens coaching or consulting offers, and creates a pathway for business growth.Jasmine breaks down how to start with the end in mind, use storytelling strategically, build a signature framework, create a monetization plan, and begin creating demand before the book is released.In This Episode, The Blueprint to Writing a Thought Leadership Book That Sells: Viewers Will Learn:→ Why a book should be written with a clear business goal in mind→ How to turn expertise and experience into a profitable thought-leadership book→ Why good writing alone does not guarantee book sales or business growth→ How storytelling should support the reader's transformation→ Why a signature framework is essential for expert positioning→ How a book can support speaking, coaching, consulting, and digital product offers→ Why authors should think beyond book sales and create a monetization plan→ How to build interest and demand before the book is releasedKey Takeaways:A thought-leadership book should begin with the end in mind. Before writing, experts should know what they want the book to do for the reader and for the business.Strong writing matters, but strategy matters too. Marketing, positioning, and offer alignment can determine whether a book creates real business opportunities.Personal stories should support the transformation. The story should help teach, guide, and lead the reader toward a meaningful result.A signature framework gives the book structure. It can also become the foundation for coaching offers, consulting services, speaking topics, and digital products.Book sales are only one part of the opportunity. A strong monetization plan can help a book support visibility, authority, clients, and long-term business growth.Notable Quotes from Jasmine:“Nobody cares about your book as much as you do. They care about how it helps them.”“You're not writing a memoir. You're creating a movement.”“Your personal story should support the transformation, not take the spotlight.”“If you don't have a monetization plan, your book becomes a missed opportunity.”• Join - A 5-Day Live (Virtual) Training to Help Experts Turn Their Book Into Coaching, Speaking, Consulting, and Event Profits: → https://www.jasminewomack.com/monetize • Interested in working with us?

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.

A breakthrough drug gives two men access to a world where ordinary life appears frozen, turning a quiet seaside afternoon into something almost impossible to comprehend. But once they begin treating time itself like a playground, a dangerous problem emerges that neither of them anticipated. The New Accelerator by H. G. Wells. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. H. G. Wells is best known for classics like The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, and The Invisible Man, but his shorter fiction often contains some of his most inventive ideas. Today's story asks a fascinating question: what would happen if a scientific discovery allowed you to experience hours while the rest of the world experienced only seconds? Published in the December 1901 issue of The Strand Magazine,  on page 622, The New Accelerator by H. G. Wells… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A stranded explorer on Jupiter's frozen moon discovers that the greatest danger is not the brutal landscape but the choices made when desperation takes hold. When an alien race reveals powers far beyond human understanding, Hugh Betancourt must decide whether some discoveries are too valuable to bring home.

Michael Spencer is the Founder and CEO of Zeno, an electric mobility company building electric motorcycles, battery-swapping infrastructure, and distributed energy systems across East Africa. Drawing on experience from nearly a decade building businesses in East Africa and four years at Tesla during its hypergrowth era, Spencer is applying lessons from EV charging infrastructure to one of the world's largest transportation markets: two- and three-wheel vehicles. In this episode of Inevitable, Spencer explains why electrifying motorcycles in emerging markets may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce transportation costs and emissions. He discusses how Zeno combines hardware, software, and energy infrastructure to create a business that looks like an electric vehicle company on the surface but increasingly operates like a distributed utility. The conversation explores lessons from Tesla's Supercharger network, why Kenya became Zeno's launch market, how battery swapping and AI-powered infrastructure management drive capital efficiency, and why building hard-tech businesses may become even more valuable in an AI-driven world. Spencer also shares his vision for turning Zeno's charging network into a distributed renewable energy platform capable of serving both mobility and grid customers.

Warrior's Woman by Johanna Lindsey is a futuristic romance set in the year 2139 and follows Tedra de Arr, a highly skilled Security Agent who is too bodacious to lose her virginity to the puny men on her home planet of Kystran. When a failed presidential candidate launches a coup, Tedra, along with her annoying sex pest personal computer, Martha and sensual sentient robot, Corth, flee to outer space. To Tedra's surprise, she ends up on Sha-Ka'ar, a planet chock full of big beefy blond warriors. Published in 1990, reviews, at the time, were mixed, calling it a successful romance, but a woefully underdeveloped science fiction novel. Cynthia Eisenmenger for Florida Today writes, “Although it is a bold exploration, Lindsey often appears lost in space with this new genre.”Support us on our Patreon!Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comFollow us on social media:Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBluesky: @reformedrakesBeth's SubstackChels' SubstackEmma's SubstackThank you for listening!

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I'm joined again by Dr. Peter Petropolus, in an interview recorded April 3, 2026.In this conversation, Dr. P and I discuss the RFK & Trump alliance and their battle against Deep State. We trace the origins of the Deep State back the British Empire's systems of control. We consider the American Revolution & Civil War and the role of foreign influence in those conflicts. Next, we discuss Israel, Iran, British Petroleum, and the importance of Middle Eastern control. We discuss Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the efforts he's taken to bring down global human trafficking networks.We consider the ties of between the City of London, drug & human trafficking, money laundering, war profiteering, and market manipulation. Peter describes the differences between the Anglo-Dutch Imperial economy and American economic philosophy. Next, we discuss the differences between the Board of Peace and the United Nations.From there, we consider the hoax of climate catastrophism and consider the practicality of alternative & free energies. Peter describes the importance of DOGE, identifying corruption in the system, and in breaking USAID & its associated NGOs. We then speculate as to whether JFK & RFK could have taken a different approach in the 60s to take down the British imperial system.Peter and I then describe this system coming out of WWII. We describe how the oligarchy has used color revolutions and civil unrest to divide nations and corrupt government institutions. We highlight the 2020 BLM / Summer of love riots and their usefulness in stealing the 2020 election through mail in ballots, electronic voting machines, & the COVID pandemic.Next, Peter assesses RFK Jr.'s first year in office. We discuss the importance of breaking the veil of disillusionment in the individual's journey for truth. From there, we discuss the ties of Jeffrey Epstein & Peter Mandelson, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and the importance of insider trading in facilitating wealth creation for the cabal. We focus on 9/11 and the financial crimes committed by Epstein and his associates. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the declassification of government corruption. The Outro is titled, “Iranian Liberation & the Fall of the British Empire”.Outros available for this and all episodes at entangledpodcast.substack.com, with supporting exhibits and footnotes.

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!

As colorectal cancer rates rise among younger adults, surgeons are increasingly caring for patients with rectal cancer who are pregnant or hoping to preserve future fertility. With more individuals delaying childbearing, balancing effective cancer treatment with fertility preservation and maternal–fetal safety has become an important clinical challenge. This timely topic was recently highlighted by Dr. Sharon Suwanabol during a presentation at the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons annual meeting 2026. In this episode, we explore the intersection of rectal cancer, fertility, and pregnancy through a multidisciplinary, case-based discussion. We review how surgery, chemotherapy, and pelvic radiation can affect fertility and sexual function in both men and women, and why early counseling and referral to reproductive endocrinology specialists are essential. The discussion also emphasizes that evaluation and treatment during pregnancy can often be performed safely, with care individualized based on tumor stage, gestational age, and the patient's goals and values. Hosts and discussants ·      Dr. Betelhem Yohannes, General surgery resident at the University of Washington ·      Dr. Griffen Allen, General surgery resident at the University of Washington  ·      Dr. Raga Siddharthan, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Section of Colorectal Surgery at the University of Washington  ·      Dr. Stacey Cohen, Professor in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Washington and a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, specializing in colorectal and other GI cancers. Learning objectives ·      Describe the impact of rectal cancer surgery on fertility, sexual function, and future childbearing potential. ·      Review the effects of chemotherapy and pelvic radiation on reproductive health and fertility preservation. ·      Discuss available fertility preservation strategies and the importance of early pre-treatment counseling and referral. ·      Recognize the diagnostic challenges of rectal cancer during pregnancy, including overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. ·      Review appropriate staging and workup considerations for suspected rectal cancer in pregnant patients. ·      Discuss multidisciplinary management strategies for rectal cancer during pregnancy, including individualized treatment sequencing. ·      Examine ethical and patient-centered considerations when balancing maternal cancer treatment and fetal outcomes. References  Siegel RL, Wagle NS, Star J, Kratzer TB, Smith RA, Jemal A.

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. The science says it can reduce stress, improve mood, increase resilience, and help restore perspective. More importantly, it may remind you of something you've forgotten: You've already come a lot farther than you think. Have a great week, Heal Squad. We'll talk shawtly.

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.

Do you ever feel like you're measuring yourself against an invisible standard of what a "good mother" should be? In this episode, I'm unpacking the unwritten rulebook so many mothers follow without even realizing it. I'm sharing a personal story from my son's preschool years that triggered a shame spiral over something he doesn't even remember. That moment helped me see how many standards I had absorbed from childhood, culture, comparison, and expectations I never consciously chose. Today, I'm inviting you to look at your own Good Mother Rulebook, decide which rules truly reflect your values, and release the ones creating unnecessary guilt or pressure. Show Highlights: ● The invisible Good Mother Rulebook most of us are following. [00:38] ● My preschool picture day story. [02:38] ● Why one forgotten moment felt like a parenting failure. [07:18] ● The difference between embarrassment and shame. [08:03] ● How motherhood standards become internalized over time. [11:22] ● Why high achievers are especially vulnerable to unwritten rules. [13:58] ● Where our ideas of "good mothering" often come from. [15:28] ● How comparison quietly shapes our personal rulebooks. [18:26] ● Examples of rules you may be carrying without realizing it. [20:04] ● Why most motherhood rules are more negotiable than they feel. [21:18] ● Three steps to uncover and rewrite your own rulebook. [23:48] ● Choosing standards that reflect your values instead of inherited pressure. [28:03] ● The few things in motherhood that are truly non-negotiable.

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.
