RGF Ep. 295: The Secret to Thinking Like a Billionaire

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week! This week, we're spinning the big wheel on The Price Is Right, revisiting the '70s, and getting some unexpected life lessons from the people with a B. We talk about why sometimes the best thing you can do is lean into who you are instead of trying to keep up with everyone else. We talk about how shag carpeting and wood-paneled televisions and Star Trek basements, being a little out of style long enough eventually makes you interesting again. We talk billionaires, old money versus new money, why having millions doesn't always mean having cash, and why generosity has nothing to do with how much you have. We talk $70 econo suits, L.L.Bean blazers, buying your own island (don't!), and the difference between looking wealthy and actually enjoying life. We talk visiting the PBD podcast, investing in yourself, the extraordinary awareness of successful people, and why sometimes you have to write the check, take the chance, and figure out the playbook later. Plus, the Island of Misfit Toys, Halloween ketchup costumes, and the importance of raising kids who can find happiness and independence in the world. Maybe success isn't about how much money you make, but what you do with what you've got, who you help along the way, and whether you're enjoying the ride. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

1363.Cancer Prevention, Early Detection & What to Do After a Diagnosis w/ Kathy Giusti

Hey Heal Squad! After our eye-opening conversation with Dr. Kristi Funk about breast cancer prevention and early detection, we wanted to revisit another incredibly important conversation. Because what happens when prevention isn't enough and you hear those four words no one ever wants to hear: "You have cancer"? Where do you even begin? That's why we're bringing back my conversation with cancer survivor, patient advocate, and Fatal to Fearless author, and two-time cancer survivor Kathy Giusti. She's breaking down her 12-step roadmap for navigating a cancer diagnosis, from finding specialists who truly understand your specific cancer to knowing which questions to ask, when to get a second opinion, and how to explore clinical trials. We also get into something we don't talk about enough: how to advocate for yourself when you're scared, overwhelmed, and don't even know what you don't know. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, supporting someone you love, or simply want to be better prepared, this is one of those conversations worth saving and sharing. Because when it comes to cancer, having the right information and the right team can make all the difference.  JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR OUR NEXT HEAL SQUAD EVENT! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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 Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host Medjet: medjet.com AG1: www.drinkAG1.com/HEALSQUAD ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

1362. What Mammograms Can MISS + The New AI That Could Predict Breast Cancer Risk w/ Surgeon Dr. Kristi Funk

Hey Heal Squad!! In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re talking all things BOOBS today with  renowned breast cancer surgeon Dr. Kristi Funk! Yup she is back and we are going way beyond “get your mammogram.” We’re talking about why breast cancer rates are rising, especially in younger women, what women with dense breasts need to know about what mammograms can miss, and the lifestyle factors Kristi says can actually impact our risk.Then we get into the future of breast screening and it will blow your mind! . Kristi breaks down new ultrasound technology, how AI helped find more cancers in a major mammography study, and how emerging AI may even be able to look at your mammogram and help predict your breast-cancer risk years into the future. Plus,  Kristi shares why she recently teamed up with Venus Williams to get the word out about something surprisingly simple that many women still aren’t hearing enough about: the role our food and lifestyle can play in breast cancer risk. This episode isn’t about being scared of our boobs, it’s about finally understanding them, knowing our personal risk, asking better questions, and learning what we can actually start doing TODAY. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Know your risk, not just your screening schedule: Kristi believes individualized breast-cancer risk assessment should start much earlier than most women realize. A mammogram is detection, not preventionLScreening matters, but Kristi wants women to pay attention to the bigger modifiable factors that can impact long-term health and risk. Dense breasts may need a bigger conversationL Know your breast density and ask your doctor whether your personal risk warrants additional screening beyond a mammogram JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR OUR NEXT HEAL SQUAD EVENT! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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 Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host Medjet: medjet.com AG1: www.drinkAG1.com/HEALSQUAD GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Dr. Kristi Funk on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkristifunk/?hl=en Website:  https://pinklotus.com/ Make an appointment: https://pinklotus.com/care or call 833-800-7522 Venus Williams X Dr. Kristi Funk: https://www.instagram.com/p/DcyS1mOAWls/?hl=en Kristi’s Book: BREASTS: The Owner’s Manual Join the Trusted Voices Initiative: pinklotus.com/voice Explore the free Pink Lotus Power Up community: https://pinklotus.com/powerup  Including Breast Buddies: https://pinklotus.com/powerup/breastbuddies/ Check out the Cancer-Kicking!

1361. Maria’s Type 1 Diabetes Scare + 4 Things Making Life Easier

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with another What Worked This Week, and Maria kicks things off with a little travel talk. Yup, she shares a terrifying story about getting seriously sick overseas and ending up ALONE in a hospital in France. Can you imagine?! Well, there's one travel membership she wishes she'd known about back then, and she's telling us why she won't travel without it now. Seriously, if you have a trip coming up, you're going to want to hear this. Then we're getting into some fun finds! Maria found the BEST place to shop for flattering black trousers (hello, White House Black Market!), plus an Amazon find that's making organizing all those medications and supplements SO much easier. Then, things get personal when Maria opens up about a really scary experience she recently had with her Type 1 diabetes that nearly cost her her life. Thankfully, she's okay, but it led her to discover something that's been a total game changer: learning from other people going through the exact same thing. And it's a reminder that sometimes the best tips come from people who just GET IT. She's even sharing a podcast rec! Finally, can we talk about how badly we all need a break?! After our Heal Squad retreat at Canyon Ranch, Maria is reminding us why taking time for ourselves is SO important and why we shouldn't wait until we're completely burned out to do it. Plus, a BONUS that's absolutely ridiculous. Let's just say we found a pair of sandals that might make work for your toes! Lots of good finds, a few important life lessons, and plenty of laughs. You're going to love this one!

Sunday Set Up Ep. 58: When Self-Improvement Becomes Another Stress

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. We hear so much about the importance of self-improvement, self-care and doing the work to become our best selves. But what happens when there simply aren't enough hours in the day? This week, we talk the reality of balancing work, family, responsibilities and the endless list of things we're told we should be doing for our health and well-being. Meditation, exercise, healing protocols and daily non-negotiables all sound great, but they also require time, resources and sometimes a level of freedom many of us simply don't have. We talk why it's okay to give yourself a break, the difference between pleasure and true joy, and why finding what makes us happy can be difficult when we're constantly taking care of everyone else. We talk the idea of non-negotiables and why, for some of us, everything seems negotiable. The takeaway: stop measuring yourself against people whose circumstances may be very different from yours. Do what you can, when you can, and don't let the pursuit of self-improvement become another source of stress. Sometimes the most important thing we can do for ourselves is let go of the guilt and recognize that we're already doing a lot. Give yourself a little grace this week. We'll Talk Shawtly!

PotLuck Saturday: Wooden Spoons, Dilly Bars & Watergate Salad

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Chicken cutlet subs, Shamrock Shakes, wooden spoons, and the great butterscotch dip disappearance. We talk nostalgic foods this week, and apparently strawberry ice cream is somewhat controversial. We talk the hunt for a proper Italian sandwich in Florida, fresh bread, thinly pounded cutlets, and why chicken parmesan isn't always the best lunch choice. We talk Friendly's Fribbles, McFlurries, black and white shakes, cookies that look better than they taste, and Hoodsy cups —wooden spoon a must. We talk Spumoni, Dilly Bars, mom-and-pop ice cream stands, and the tragedy of losing a perfectly good dipping flavor. We talk Slurpees, why snow cones are basically a scam, old-fashioned chocolate sodas, Chipwiches, and those vending machines with three little doors. Plus, root beer floats with wrong ratios, whoopie pies that stick to your teeth, and a dad who knew how to sneak a little extra ice cream onto a cone. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with neighborhood ice cream shops, frozen treats of yesteryear, beef stroganoff, Watergate salad, smash burgers, air fryer wings, and a trip through the potluck dishes of the decades.

RGF Ep. 294: Stop Living Your Worries Twice

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week! This week, we're riding the Crazy Train, and apparently, we could all use a little reset. We talk about worry, anxiety, and why so much of what we stress about never actually happens. How worrying about something that does happen means we've lived through it twice. We talk about getting out of our own heads, finding gratitude, helping others, and remembering to control the controllables. We talk about the difference between the Crazy Train and the Gravy Train, the people doing all the pedaling while everyone else puts their feet up, and why some people aren't looking for solutions, they're just looking for their next complaint. We talk about miserable gargoyles, town hall bullies, rage fantasies, and why sometimes the only way to win is to walk away. We talk about Ozzy Osbourne, the Heal Squad retreat, Tony Robbins, Hocus Pocus, Halloween specials, matching pumpkin pajamas, Christmas movies in October, and whether the fourth row of a 30-student classroom becomes Lord of the Flies.Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop worrying about what might happen, stop trying to fix everyone else's misery, and find a little joy in what's right in front of us.

1360. Move Your Body, Change Your Mind: Why Movement May Be the Missing Piece for Your Mental Health w/ Aubrey Marcus

Hey, Heal Squad! It’s another throwback Thursday!  After talking with Giada De Laurentiis about getting out of your comfort zone on the dance floor AND all this talk about Maria’s booty at Dancing with the Stars, we remembered this conversation with Aubrey Marcus and knew it deserved another listen. Aubrey gets into why movement can be so much more than a workout ,  including ecstatic dance, breathwork, float tanks, psychedelics and some seriously outside-the-box ways to get out of your head and reconnect with yourself. So whether you’re ready to dance it out, breathe it out, float it out…or you’re still a HELL NO on ayahuasca, there’s something in this throwback for you. And who knows? Maybe the thing that helps you feel better is the thing you’d never think to try.

1359. Giada De Laurentiis Tells All After Dancing With the Stars Elimination PLUS Why She Still Eats Pasta Despite Having Prediabetes

Hey Heal Squad! Fresh off Dancing With the Stars, our friend Giada De Laurentiis is here, and she is talking about EVERYTHING! DWTS, menopause, blood sugar, pasta, olive oil, and so much more! First, Giada takes us behind the scenes of what it really felt like to say yes to Dancing With the Stars. We’re talking about panic attacks, self-doubt, breakdowns, a BROKEN TOE….but ultimately realizing just how resilient she is. Shoutout to her daughter Jade for pushing her to “shake it up” and step out of her comfort zone, because Giada learned a lot about herself….like… what her body is still capable of at 56.Then we get into the health stuff, and Giada gets super candid about menopause, becoming prediabetic, wearing a glucose monitor to figure out how food was affecting her, losing muscle as she got older, and how she’s had to change the way she takes care of herself. And you guys…wait until you hear about her old sugar habit! She also tells us what she eats now, what she’s learned about blood sugar, whether pasta is still on the menu, and why we all need to give ourselves a little more grace as our bodies change. And who knows…we may not have seen the last of Giada on the dance floor. Wait until you hear what she says! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Doing something that scares you can wake you back up: Giada realized that putting herself in a situation where she was scared, challenged and not immediately good at something helped her build confidence and see her own resilience differently. Give your changing body more grace: Menopause taught Giada that our bodies can change quickly as we age and fighting those changes only makes it harder. Pay attention to what your body is telling you, adjust how you nourish and move it, and stop expecting it to respond exactly the way it did 20 years ago. Your age may not be the thing holding you back: One of Giada’s biggest realizations from DWTS was that sometimes we decide what we can’t do before we ever try. At 56, she learned that her body was stronger and more resilient than she gave it credit for and that sometimes the biggest limitation is our own fear and self-doubt.

1358. The Ultimate BBL Debate at DWTS?! + Maria’s Fix for Sweaty Feet ,To-Do Lists AND Sleeping Through the Night

Hey, Heal Squad! Fall is officially here, and Maria is getting cozy with a new find she is OBSESSED with: lamb’s wool slippers she found on Etsy. If your feet are always getting hot and sweaty in slippers, you need to hear why these have been such a game-changer for her.Then, you know we love our coffee around here, and Maria has discovered the secret to making hers taste SO much better….and it’s actually one of the simplest, oldest tricks in the book: a French press. She shares why she’s officially converted, plus her little hack for keeping that second cup warm and ready to go. We’re also getting into one of Maria’s biggest lessons lately: if something in your life keeps frustrating you, FIX THE SYSTEM. She shares the closet hack that finally solved one of her most annoying getting-ready problems, the nighttime routine change that has been helping her sleep with fewer interruptions, and the new digital organization system that is helping her wrangle all those never-ending to-do lists.
