On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by Maria Menounos, journalist, actor, and founder of Heal Squad, to explore what it truly means to take ownership of your health. After years of pushing through nonstop stress and serious health challenges, Maria discovered that real healing starts with mindset, community, and self-advocacy. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • How you can recognize early warning signs and take action before they become bigger health issues • Why small rituals can make wellness social, joyful, and sustainable • Tools to build a team that truly supports your healing • Simple mindset practices to reframe fear and find strength through uncertainty • The daily choices that help you move from survival mode to genuine healing Maria’s story is a reminder to us all that healing starts with paying attention to your body, your thoughts and the community you choose to surround yourself with.
