1193. The Superfood You’ve Never Heard Of (That Supercharges Immunity) w/ Dr. Jeffrey Bland
Welcome back Heal Squad to our Part 2 with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the Father of Functional Medicine. This episode is PACKED with revelations about how your immune system works and what actually helps your body heal. Dr. Bland breaks down the Systemic Immune Index (SII) … a simple calculation from your standard bloodwork that acts like a “dashboard light” for your immune resilience. It’s something our physicians all have and if your number is off, he explains the importance of bringing it back into balance. Then he drops MAJOR nutritional truth bombs: why Tartary buckwheat, a forgotten crop may be the most powerful immune-supporting superfood in the world, why polyphenols are the secret sauce of Blue Zone longevity, and which supplements actually help versus which ones are just ultra-processed hype. This conversation is hopeful, empowering, and gives you real tools to build better immunity, better aging, and a better relationship with your health, starting today. Enjoy!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Tartary Buckwheat Is the Immune Superfood We’ve Been Missing
It delivers up to 100x more polyphenols than regular buckwheat, boosts immune resilience, improves metabolic function, and offers powerful nutrient density — especially when sprouted.
Polyphenols, Omega-3s & Probiotics Are the Real Supplement “Big 3
But quality matters: Choose minimally processed fish oils (like Alaskan fish liver oil), Add polyphenol-rich foods, Support gut immunity with pre + probiotics And skip the ultra-processed supplements pretending to be “anti-inflammatory.”

1192. How Anyone Can Renew Their Immune System in 4 Months w/ Dr. Jeffrey Bland
Hey Heal Squad! Maria is literally talking to a living legend today! We are with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, who is widely known as the Father of Functional Medicine! Friends this is a powerful deep dive into what true health really means. Instead of focusing only on disease, Dr. Bland explains how functional medicine looks at the entire communication system of the body, like how your organs, metabolism, brain, and behavior work together to create resilience. He breaks down why our immune system fully regenerates every four months, how women’s immune systems are more sophisticated (and therefore more reactive), and why understanding root causes is the only real path toward healing chronic conditions. You’ll also learn why light is a nutrient, why circadian rhythm matters, and why the goal of health isn’t the absence of disease… it’s better function. This episode is the reset your health curiosity has been waiting for.
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Functional Medicine = Health Through Function, Not Disease
Dr. Bland redefines health by looking at four pillars — physical, metabolic, cognitive, and behavioral function. When these systems work well together, you work well.
Your Immune System Rebuilds Every 4 Months
Your body makes an entirely new immune system every season. Your choices today determine whether your next “upgrade” makes you stronger or more inflamed.
Light, Rhythm & Environment Are Medicine Too
Sunlight, circadian rhythm, red-light therapy, nutrition, sleep, stress, and emotional patterns all act as “inputs” that shape your biology. Your body is always in conversation with the world around you.

RGF Ep. 249: How To Shop From Self-Worth Not Scarcity On Black Friday
Happy Regular Guy Black Friday, Heal Squad! That’s right we fooled them again and this week, Kev and Anne get into how most people don’t buy because they want the item, they buy because they want the feeling they think the item will give them. How that feeling behind the buy is almost always tied to a form of scarcity. How consumption is often an attempt to patch an internal leak with an external object. How the leak says you're not enough. Here are some of the questions to ask yourself before spending all your money shopping: Will the item you buy solve the real problem? Are you buying from fear or from worthiness? Will this buy support my goals? Will this buy support my life? Will this buy reward me? Will this buy provide needed comfort? Does this buy align with you I am becoming? How joy will free you from consumption, what California sober is and how saying never when it comes to any addiction may not be the best course. Bye Betches!

1189. Mel Robbins On Why We People Please and How To Stop It!
Hey, Heal Squad! Before we all sit around the Thanksgiving Day table, we’re throwing it back to one of our most powerful conversations with Mel Robbins… because honestly, there’s no better time than Thanksgiving week to revisit these tools. If you ever find yourself slipping into people-pleasing mode around the holidays, this episode is your reset. Mel breaks down why people pleasing shows up so strongly with family, why it has nothing to do with being “nice,” and how to stop abandoning your own needs just to keep the peace. She also shares how to use her iconic High Five Habit to center yourself before stepping into family gatherings. You’ll walk away with tools like, how to stop managing everyone’s reactions and emotions, what to do when comments or judgments hit a nerve, and tiny, drama-free boundaries you can set in real time. If you want this Thanksgiving to feel different, lighter, healthier, and way more you this throwback episode is for you!
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
Dimming Your Light Holds You Back: Maria and Mel discuss how hiding your gifts, energy, or success doesn’t protect others, it deprives the world of what you’re here to give. Someone out there needs the version of you that’s fully expressed.
People Pleasing Isn’t About Pleasing Others: Mel drops a bomb: People pleasing is manipulative. It’s rooted in insecurity and in trying to control how others react to you. Most of it begins in childhood, when we link approval with love and survival.
You Can Only Control Your Attitude and Your Actions: A “high-five attitude” isn’t pretending things are perfect, it’s choosing resilience, perspective, and forward motion, even in painful seasons.

LGF Ep. 248: What Your Birthday Really Teaches You
Happy Lonely Guy Friday, Heal Squad! With a little help from John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero,” Kev unpacks the ways many of us were molded, managed, or minimized… and how that old conditioning shows up today as self-abandonment. It’s Kev’s birfday week and he shares how any “lonely guy birthday” becomes beautiful with an annual “I see you.' and a reminder to be grateful.
He breaks down how saying yes when your body screams no, shrinking to keep the peace, or trading your truth for someone else’s comfort sends one clear signal to the universe: “I don’t matter.” And how the universe can’t support a life you’re not willing to stand in. How self-abandonment quietly builds a life that doesn’t fit, and how tiny daily choices begin to undo it. He also dives into the difference between Catholic culture vs. Catholic faith (and how every religion has its version), why endings reorganize your whole timeline, and why honesty over appeasement is the real path home to yourself.
In true RGF fashion, we also cover the too-late Thanksgiving, the too-fast Christmas, Mariah Carey officially kicking off holiday celebrations on Nov 1st. On behalf of Kelsey, Ann, Maria, and the whole Heal Squad fam… Bye Betches, and we’ll talk shortly.
