Happy Regular Guy Friday, Squad! The plight of the Old Dad, the greater plight of the even Older Dad and the best means for Old Dad's to prepare for the future. Two lifestyles of the future will exist and they will resemble the same two lifestyles of the past. American living situations for families in decades to come will resemble American family living situations in the 18th century – so so too will it be for show business.

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! Today we are bringing back a refreshing conversation with best-selling author, Touré Roberts, where we dive into the essential topic of true balance! In the episode, Touré guides us on how to discover your unique path to well-being by tuning into the quiet voice within that urges you to pause. He emphasizes that true balance is personal and looks different for everyone. With practical tips for daily self-care and maintenance, Touré shares how embracing balance can lead to profound soul awareness. We even dive into the Touré idea of a “Soul Vacation” and the importance of reconnecting yourself. He teaches how to become soul aware by forcing us to take a moment and disconnect from the noise of the world - before it’s too late. Regardless of where you’ve been or what you’ve lost, embrace this moment as an opportunity for growth. Don’t let fear hold you back- tune in! Healers and Heal Liners:  Personalized Balance: It’s all about YOUR balance. Recognizing that true balance is different for everyone allows you to focus on what truly resonates with you, rather than what it might look like for others. Soul Vacation: Taking the time to fully stop and reflect is a crucial part of awareness and personal growth. Don’t let the noise around you hold you back.  Soul Awareness: Creating balance in your life allows you to connect with your deepest self. This connection enhances your overall well-being and brings a sense of fulfillment and purpose to your life. --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 WishlistOUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% offWonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ Touré Roberts Resources:Link to Website: www.toureroberts.comLink to Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toureroberts/?hl=enLink to his book- “Balance”: https://www.amazon.com/Balance-Tipping-Scales-Leveraging-Change-ebook/dp/B085XNBQDF 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 Mariamenounos.com and healsquad.com ) is for informational purposes only and may include information that is general in nature and that is not specific to you.

Happy Monday Healers! On today’s chatshow we are joined by Maria and Natasha for a thought-provoking discussion of America’s health and nutrition crisis. Maria shares that she recently came across a headline discussion from Senator Ron Johnson’s roundtable discussion, where she found herself moved by the alarming truths shared by experts like Jillian Micheals and Dr. Casey Means. From pesticides to microplastics, we fail to realize how much these toxins are infiltrating our lives. Highlighting the urgent message from Dr. Casey about the limitations of our healthcare systems, and that this crisis isn’t just physical - it’s spiritual. Not to mention how difficult it is nowadays to feed and care for, not only yourself, but your children when everything around us may have toxins in them. They even dive into the social pressures and challenges of modern living, it’s important to find balance and actionable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Remember, it's the simplicities of life that can bring you joy. Everything isn’t going to be perfect all the time but stacking better decisions is the only way to start. With all that, we are starting off the week on the right foot, squad! 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 WishlistOUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% offWonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ 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 Mariamenounos.com and healsquad.com ) is for informational purposes only and may include information that is general in nature and that is not specific to you.

Plus thank GOD Kels’s therapist is back from vacation, because we got a GOOD gem from our girl Jaclyn. Simple, yet effective. Lastly, a reminder to go back to basics - the girls share what is keeping them grounded and energetically connected to the universe during this chaotic final eclipse.This week is all about self love and embracing ALL of your emotions.

Happy Throwback Thursday Squad! We are continuing the theme of healing autoimmune disease by bringing back a jam-packed episode with Dr. Amy Myers. She is a physician, functional medicine expert, and 2x NYT bestselling author - you may even remember her from previous episodes! One of the reasons why we love Dr. Amy Myers and all of her knowledge is because her journey isn’t typical… After dealing with her own autoimmune disorder, gut issues her whole life, and being failed by modern medicine, she has a mission as a physician to share her insights and practices. In this episode, she shares the 5 factors of achieving the autoimmune solution and how hormones can have a lot to do with it!Also, when you’re dealing with autoimmune disease, one of the things you can do is the elimination diet. With this diet you can slowly incorporate foods back into your life and see how your body reacts- the most important part is to listen to what your body is saying and how you are feeling. Dr. Myers shares the benefits in doing so, you don’t want to miss this one! Healers and Heal Liners:  There is a huge connection between emotional health and autoimmune disorders, there are holistic approaches to start the healing process.  Don’t feel discouraged if traditional medicine doesn’t have a definite answer for you to heal, take a different approach.  By listening to your body and what you are putting in it, you can prevent and heal inflammatory issues you may have with your autoimmune disease.  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 WishlistOUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% offWonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ DR.AMY RESOURCES:IG: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/?hl=en Website:https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Books: https://www.amymyersmd.com/books 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 Mariamenounos.com and healsquad.com ) is for informational purposes only and may include information that is general in nature and that is not specific to you.

Welcome back, Heal Squad! In part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Sara Szal, we dive deeper into the underlying hormone that could be the culprit to so many things we struggle with from depression and mental health to the onset of autoimmune diseases. She shares ways you can manage and lower cortisol before it causes the onset of autoimmune conditions and the importance of personalized medicine—it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach! PLUS we explore how autoimmune diseases can actually go into remission with lifestyle changes, an elimination diet, and even psychedelic-assisted therapies like MDMA for deep-rooted trauma healing. Dr. Szal gets real about the impact of “big T” and “little t” traumas, explaining how they live in our bodies and contribute to illness. You’re going to want to take notes on this one, friends!HEALERS AND HEAL-LINERS: Test, don’t guess. It’s important to get your cortisol levels under control before they dip too low, leading to the potential onset of autoimmune diseases. She recommends a “test, don’t guess” approach using the Dutch test, which looks at five different cortisol levels throughout the day. Signs of lower cortisol levels: Fatigue, Low blood pressure, Low mood, Fainting, Loss of appetite These micronutrients can make a huge impact on your cortisol and stress levels: Vitamin C, B6, and Magnesium.  Dr. Szal shares how autoimmune diseases can go into remission through personalized approaches like elimination diets, managing leaky gut, and trauma therapies. She mentions her success in reversing autoimmune markers like antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Psychedelic-assisted therapy can be a major resolution for deep-rooted trauma. Dr. Szal explains that using MDMA-assisted therapy to resolve trauma can help resolve long-lasting effects on both mental and physical health. This approach helps in reconstructing one's narrative and reducing fear responses tied to trauma. (Please note this method is not FDA approved.)
