Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

It’s Friday and we fooled them again—made it to another Regular Guy Friday, and this time we’re talking everything from civilian go to conversation subjects to the best approach to the work you need to do but are not thrilled to do and even class reunion jitters. We talk the power of physical labor and how, when approached without resentment, it becomes a form of service and even self-healing. Gone are the Diet Cokes and rage-fueled rants—this is the era of intention journals, gratitude days and peaceful warriors.  We share how the work should no longer be about self punishment , applause or proving something. It’s about presence, balance, and finishing what needs finishing without adding unnecessary suffering. We revisit the power of not reacting—especially when confronted by past nemeses or current rain delays—and how vibrating differently can shift everything from work stress to surprise A-lister calls. We talk gratitude, detachment from outcomes, and the quiet pride of sticking to the mission (even when you’re ankle-deep in mud, poison ivy and numb hands). RGF BONUS: Class reunion prep with and for Ann. Happy Friday. Bye Betches. -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

Happy Wednesday, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our fascinating conversation with the Medical Medium, Anthony William, and this one’s a deep dive into some of the most misunderstood chronic conditions. Anthony pulls back the curtain on anxiety, depression, autoimmune issues, and why so many people are suffering in silence without clear answers. He explains how symptoms we often blame on “stress” or “genetics” may be signs of deeper imbalances, from viral infections and heavy metal toxicity to adrenal fatigue and a sluggish liver. We also explore the power of healing foods like celery juice and wild blueberries, and how small, daily changes can create major shifts in your energy, brain fog, and emotional resilience. It’s time to reclaim your power and become your own health advocate, tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Anxiety isn’t always mental. It can be a physical signal of viral or toxic overload. Cleaning up your diet and supporting your nervous system may help where medications fall short. Autoimmune isn’t your body turning on itself. Anthony shares how viruses and toxins (not self-destruction) are the real culprits behind so many misdiagnosed chronic conditions. Celery juice isn’t just trendy, it’s transformational. Starting your day with celery juice can help flush toxins, support digestion, and restore clarity to your mind and body. -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist THE MEDICAL MEDIUM RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicalmedium/?hl=en  Website: https://www.medicalmedium.com/  Find Anthony's books (& some of my other favorites!) here: https://shopmy.us/collections/106835 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.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re bringing back a powerful two-part conversation with Anthony William, otherwise known as the Medical Medium! Trust us, it’s just as relevant today as it was when we first aired it. In Part 1, Anthony opens up about the misunderstood root causes of so many chronic health issues, from anxiety and fatigue to autoimmune conditions and mystery symptoms doctors often dismiss. He explains why heavy metals, viral load, and liver congestion may be silently impacting your brain, skin, energy, and even your relationships. Anthony also dives into how foods like celery juice, wild blueberries, and lemon water are more than just trends…they’re powerful tools to cleanse, rebuild, and restore your body from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt unheard, misdiagnosed, or stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you. Tune in to start getting answers and real solutions that empower you to take your healing into your own hands.  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Toxic overload isn’t just food-related. Fragrances, heavy metals, and environmental pollution are silent contributors to chronic illness, and most people don’t even know they’re being exposed. Fish oil isn’t always a friend. While often seen as a health staple, Anthony challenges its benefits and warns about hidden dangers most doctors won’t tell you about. Your bloodwork may not be telling the full story. Common testing practices could disrupt your body more than help it. Anthony explains how to protect your health when giving blood samples. -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist THE MEDICAL MEDIUM RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicalmedium/?hl=en  Website: https://www.medicalmedium.com/  Find Anthony's books (& some of my other favorites!) here: https://shopmy.us/collections/106835 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.

Hey Heal Squad! Get ready for a major education moment with Dr. Sara Reardon, board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist, TED presenter, and founder of The V-Hive platform. Dr. Sara (aka the Vagina Whisperer) is here to break down what the pelvic floor really is, why it matters WAY more than we’ve been taught, and how you can prevent and treat common issues like painful sex, urinary leakage, prolapse, constipation, and discomfort during pregnancy or menopause—without shame or mystery. She shares why so many of us were never taught about this essential part of our anatomy, how to know if you’re experiencing tension vs. weakness, and how to start caring for this powerful part of your body through breath, awareness, and simple daily shifts (like stop pushing when you pee!). From taboo topics to everyday tips, this conversation will change how you view your pelvic floor—and give you the tools to reclaim your health at every stage of life! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Painful sex is a signal, not something to ignore. Pain with intimacy is a sign your body needs attention, not something to normalize. Pelvic floor therapy can address the root causes and help you reconnect with your body without fear or shame. Stop pushing when you pee. Straining during urination or bowel movements can weaken your pelvic floor over time. Practicing proper mechanics helps preserve pelvic health through every life stage. Tight isn’t strong. A tight pelvic floor often mimics weakness, leading to pain, leaks, or dysfunction. Learning how to relax your pelvic floor is just as important as strengthening it. -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.vagina.whisperer/?hl=en Website: https://thevagwhisperer.com/  Pre-Order Her Book!: https://thevagwhisperer.com/floored/  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.

Hey, Heal Squad! With summer right around the corner, we’re kicking off June with a powerful reminder: the sun isn’t your enemy, it might just be your greatest healer. In this special episode, Maria is diving into the science and soul of sunlight as medicine, curating some of the most mind-blowing insights from past Heal Squad guests who are true experts on light healing, Dr. Jack Kruse, Dr. Alison Monette, and Dr. Christina Rahm! They share how natural light supports your mitochondria, balances your hormones, resets your circadian rhythm, fuels detox, and even boosts emotional resilience. Maria ties it all together with her own reflections on embracing sun exposure more intentionally—and how simple shifts like morning light can transform your energy, clarity, and overall health. This is your summer wake-up call to get outside and reconnect with one of the most powerful (and free!) healing tools available.

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we set you up with a reminder that the only thing permanent… is change. From old-school CB radios and late-night talk shows to UFOs and overnight true crime, we talk nostalgic, what’s been lost, and what might still be worth reclaiming. We talk gratitude, real, daily, life-shifting gratitude. We break down The Magic, a 28-day progrum that helps you transform one thank-you at a time. We talk the power of acknowledging what’s good—even when it’s hidden in a speeding ticket, a utility bill, or a past hurt. Because when you shift your lens, the blessings start showing up. We talk stepping into full power—mentally, spiritually, and yes, even physically (200 tons of stone, anyone?). And how the energy you put out becomes the invitation for what’s next. This week, the takeaway is simple: nothing lasts forever—so why not choose gratitude in the now? Here’s to a grounded, grateful week, Heal Squad! -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

It’s Friday and we fooled them again with an RGF LITE. We talk all things spilled wine, faded spotlights, and a reminder that even in Hollywood, the real story’s happening just off-camera. We’re talking accidental run-ins with TV legends, spiritual redirections in Hollywood living rooms, and what happens when you get pulled into the circle—literally. We talk the myth of perfection and why being multifaceted isn’t a flaw, it’s the design. There’s the helper, the hider, the guy with the SAG voucher and the shame spiral, and yes—even the one who just wanted to help clean up the mess. It’s about identity, visibility, and the slow courage it takes to admit you’re still learning how to be seen. We talk the fall of the old gods—how the elite cling to relevance while the rest of us are learning to find power in authenticity. We talk all things family dynamics, imposter syndrome, and the quiet kind of success that looks like staying grateful even when you’re sitting in the shadows. RGF Bonus: Mrs. Brady as spiritual first responder, Mark Wahlberg shoulder squeezes, couch drama that wasn’t from Living Spaces  , and confirmation that yes—Jack Lord probably had real hair. Happy Friday.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Denise Kirtley, and this one is packed with real talk about what it actually takes to maintain strength, build muscle, and feel your best in midlife and beyond. Denise gets candid about her journey from emotional eating and burnout to becoming a bodybuilding competitor—and what it felt like after she stepped off the stage. She opens up about learning that your leanest body isn’t always your happiest body, how to find your “healthy weight,” and why building a sustainable, strong life matters more than hitting a number on the scale. We dive into her daily health non-negotiables, how she breaks down the fear around lifting heavy, and why acceptance is just as important as ambition. PLUS, Denise shares the powerful mindset shift that helped her push through self-doubt and start living with intention. If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, negative body image, or just need motivation to start again—this episode will meet you exactly where you are. 💛 HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Strong is the new sustainable. It’s not about staying “stage lean.” Denise discovered real health comes from strength, consistency, and how you feel Motivation fades, habits last. Daily non-negotiables like walking, protein, and sleep help Denise stay on track, even when motivation disappears. A healthy weight isn’t always your leanest weight.
