Lonely Guy Friday Ep. 216: How to Reassess Wealth To Gain Wealth
Regular Guy Friday Fans, if you're feeling lonely it's all good. We have another edition of Lonely Guy Friday. How simple is not less than, how the word needs to be redefined and the true power of simplicity. How releasing from attachments to material possessions ascends you. How releasing from attachments to having more wealth, ironically, leads to more wealth. When you reassess your life, you will see how healthy you really are - and more will come when you do. How the energy of pure love will outweigh the energy of pure BS - proof included. LGF Bonus: Johnny Cash first rendition of Man in Black in its entirety, a listening test for the LGF inner circle of three, how angels and guides speak to us through everything from children to song lyrics and how, regardless of your religion, spring can be a great milestone for renewal - or not. The latter is okay, too.

1058. Tequila Kills Viruses, But Sunscreen Can Hurt Us?! The Shocking Truths w/ Dr Christina Rahm
Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with the brilliant Dr. Christina Rahm, and trust us—this episode is a must-listen! You’ve heard Maria talk about quiet quitting sushi, but today, Dr. Christina is breaking down the shocking truth about parasites in sushi—and why eating it overseas can leave you feeling wrecked! (Hint: It’s NOT just about freshness.) But don’t panic just yet—she’s also revealing what you can take to protect your body if you still indulge. And here’s a twist… Could tequila actually help protect you from sickness?! Dr. Christina spills the science behind a specific type of tequila that may kill bacteria, boost your health, and (maybe?!) help you live to 130! But that’s not all—we’re also diving into one of the most harmful ingredients in sunscreen that might be damaging your body instead of protecting it. Just because a product is labeled “natural” or “safe” doesn’t mean it actually is—Dr. Christina is teaching us how to decode ingredient lists and make smarter choices. This episode is packed with mind-blowing facts and a whole lot of OMG moments. Enjoy!HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
Be Careful on What You Consume: Consuming raw sushi, especially depending on location, can be risky due to parasites and contamination. But adds, the purest form of tequila may help protect the body against parasites and viruses.
Hidden Toxins in Everyday Products: Labels can be misleading—terms like "extract" and "natural flavoring" can mean different things depending on their manufacturing process. Sunscreen can also carry harmful chemicals like titanium dioxide, which may have serious health risks, including links to squamous cell melanoma, a form of skin cancer that can spread to the brain.
Science Behind Sunlight: Dr. Christina explains that sunlight is a crucial signaling source for our bodies—providing energy, helping metabolize nutrients, and supporting cellular health. This is often misunderstood by mainstream medical narratives.--HEAL SQUAD SOCIALSIG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmariaHEAL SQUAD RESOURCES:Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membershipMaria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.comMy Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s StorefrontPrenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 offDelete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUADDR.

1057. Why DETOXING the Right Way Helps Fight Lyme Disease, Cancer & MORE w/ Dr. Christina Rahm
Hey Heal Squad! Maria couldn’t be more thrilled to sit down with the powerhouse that is Dr. Christina Rahm—a scientist, inventor, and global entrepreneur who’s completely revolutionizing the world of health and wellness. Her focus? Detoxification and its game-changing role in healing the body from the inside out. Yes, we can be smarter than the viruses we carry! But here’s where things get wild—Maria and Dr. Christina realized they BOTH contracted Lyme disease at the same time! This led to an eye-opening conversation about how Dr. Christina is battling Lyme, but also how she overcame a brain tumor, skin cancer, and more—all by unlocking the power of detoxification and root cause healing. Dr. Christina shares jaw-dropping insights into what to do if you’ve been diagnosed with Lyme, how you need both science and holistic healing to win, and why peptides are beneficial but can cause concern. This conversation is a must-listen if you’re ready to become the CEO of your health and make empowered, life-changing decisions for your health.HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
The Power of Detox: When a virus cell or cancer cell communicates with healthy cells, it tries to convince them to replicate its damaged state. Detoxification is the key to disrupting this process. By removing toxins and supplementing the body with the right nutrients, you can optimize cellular health.
Be The CEO of Your Health: Every person holds the key to their own health—they just need to research, listen, and take charge of their wellness journey.--HEAL SQUAD SOCIALSIG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmariaHEAL SQUAD RESOURCES:Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membershipMaria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.comMy Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s StorefrontPrenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 offDelete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUADDR.

Lonely Guy Friday Ep. 215: Detaching from Permanence
Hey Regular people, if you're feeling lonely this Friday, we've got you! On this Lonely Guy Friday edition of RGF we discuss the generational and political debate between Feelings vs. Facts. How it can actually be feelings over facts when it comes to healing, growth and power. How it's likewise not about forcing the world to understand and empathize with your feelings, it's about YOU understanding and empathizing with your feelings. How one feeling usually lasts 90 seconds yet creates thousands of thoughts. How thoughts then become moods, moods become temperament, temperaments become personalities and they become your reality. How the mantra needs then to be upgraded to 'alter your feelings to alter your thoughts to alter your reality.' How we suppress, repress, express and escape our feelings, the meaning of each and how each only exacerbates the feelings. How the big self in 5D needs to manage the little parts of ourselves in 3D. How the '7 year old you' are most likely managing your emotions and making life decisions - and how 'the adult you' can help them. How 'attachment to seeking permanence in all areas of life' is hurting you and how embracing the notion that 'the work' never ends will lift you. Breaking down the book 'Letting Go' and the works of Dr. Kim D'Eramo MindBody TV's while talking about the true meaning of Lent while playing Debbie Gibson and Sinead O'Connor. If it doesn't make sense, remember this is our Friday show, after all.
