Hey, Heal Squad! On this Throwback Thursday, we’re continuing the theme of healthy relationships with food! We are bringing back a conversation with the one and only, Jesse Inchauspé, aka the Glucose Goddess. If you don’t remember her from before, she is a French biochemist and best-selling author who is on a mission to help people balance their blood sugar without cutting out the foods they love.Jesse breaks down how blood sugar spikes affect your cravings, energy levels, and long-term health. PLUS, science-backed hacks to keep them steady. She shares why you don’t need to quit carbs or sugar completely to feel amazing—you just need to eat them in the right order! From the power of starting your day with a savory breakfast to the one easy trick that will change the way you eat dessert, Jesse makes blood sugar balance accessible for everyone.HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Blood sugar crashes aren’t just about food. They can impact your mood, anxiety, and even your sleep quality. Small tweaks, big results. Adding fiber, vinegar, or movement before meals can drastically change how your body processes sugar. Eat the right way, not the “perfect” way. You don’t have to cut out your favorite foods—just learn how to enjoy them smarter!

Sushi lovers, listen up! Because you’re going to want to hear this! In part 2 of our chat with wellness and nutrition expert, Christina Gomes, we are uncovering the shocking secrets hiding beneath the scales of the #1 Japanese dish. Christina also gives us her proven grocery list that will help keep cortisol levels down, regulate your metabolism, and help you feel amazing! She’s also sharing her genius, time-saving meal prep hacks- how to super fast and the nutritious method to making smoothies in the morning. She has us snacking like a nutritional expert! Did you know you should snack before bed to have the best sleep ever? Yup, this episode is full of useful and practical tips to help you level up your health journey. Don’t get too hungry, but enjoy this one Squad!HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Most fish, like sushi, carry parasites, because of the way that the US mass produces food, but you can make your gut more stronger, acidic and resilient to parasites with proper eating by eating things like garlic, pumpkin seeds and papaya seeds. When it comes to meal prepping, plan for success: Frozen is just as good as fresh. It traps all the nutrients and stops the micronutrients from depleting as the veggies decay. Two things you need to do for your nutrition: Have a small snack that is rich in carbohydrates and protein first thing in the morning and right before bed. This will help lower your cortisol first thing in the morning before caffeine intake, and help you produce more melatonin at night to sleep better.  Help Support LA Wildfire Victims:Master GoFundMe ListCharities to donate to for LA Wildfires: Baby2Baby https://donate.baby2baby.org/give/648067/#!/donation/checkoutCalFire Benevolent Foundation https://calfire.foundation/donations/ California Fire Foundation https://cpf.salsalabs.org/cff-donation/index.html Pasadena Humane Society https://give.pasadenahumane.org/give/654134#!/donation/checkout --HEAL SQUAD SOCIALSIG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmariaHEAL SQUAD RESOURCES:Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.comMy Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s StorefrontAquaTru: https://aquatruwater.com/ code: HEALSQUADAirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com/ code: HEALSQUADPrenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 offSleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.com/Christina’s ResourcesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/crunchystinaa/ 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.ABOUT HEAL SQUAD x MARIA MENOUNOS:A daily digital talk-show that brings you the world's leading healers, experts, and celebrities to share groundbreaking secrets and tips to getting better in all areas of life.DISCLAIMER:This Podcast and all related content ( published or distributed by or on behalf of Maria Menounos or http://Mariamenounos.com and http://healsquad.com ) is for informational purposes only and may include information that is general in nature and that is not specific to you.

Hello Heal Squad! If you haven’t started crushing your 2025 goals, this episode will fire you up to make this your healthiest year yet. Today, Maria’s trainer, Christina Gomes, joins the squad to share game-changing insights on balancing nutrition and training during perimenopause, menopause, and even when it’s that time of the month. She’s unveiling the ultimate health plan to lower cortisol, balance hormones, and manage weight without over doing it. You’ll learn how to ditch the high-intensity workouts that might be doing more harm than good, and which exercises are highly effective for the always fluctuating women’s body.Plus, we’re diving deep into gut health essentials—like the must-have foods to fuel your body and improve nutrient absorption. If you’ve been craving a reset or feeling out of sync with your body, this episode is your sign to take charge and thrive in 2025. Enjoy!HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Higher intensity exercises are doing you more harm than good. Yes, you can lose weight with HIIT, but it will cause more stress on your body, which impacts your overall metabolism. Women specifically suffer more from elevated cortisol levels, especially as they age, because their ability to resist cortisol and deal with stress is going to decline as our estrogen and progesterone decline. If you do have lower estrogen levels, there are certain foods that you can eat that can actually help us continue to produce a little bit more estrogen. Your ability to absorb nutrients is going to heavily rely on the healthiness of your gut and your gut lining. A diet rich in fiber will ensure that your gut stays strong and healthy to absorb essential vitamins and nutrients.

Hello, Heal Squad. Today’s episode will be one that holds a very special place in our hearts for years of podcasts to come ❤️Today, Maria brings together a group of LA Fire victims to share their personal stories of survival and recovery. We hear from men and women that were affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires, recounting their experiences of evacuating their homes—some not even knowing if their homes would survive. They also open up about their needs right now (they’re not what you think!), and the many challenges they have faced, like navigating insurances, finding temporary housing, and coping with anxiety, fear, and remorse. They also tell us the best ways we can support them and their fellow survivors (Check the resources below).
