Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Happy Wednesday, Heal Squad! We’re back with Dr. William Makis for part two of this powerful conversation… and it’s one you don’t want to miss. If you or someone you love is facing cancer, autoimmune disease, or neurological decline, this episode could shift everything. Dr. Makis shares what he’s seeing firsthand in his clinical practice–real stories of patients with stage 4 cancer, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, even Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s—experiencing surprising results with repurposed drugs like ivermectin and mebendazole. He breaks down how and why these low-cost, off-label options are working when nothing else does. We also dive into why many autoimmune symptoms are actually rooted in immune dysregulation, and the real reason alternative  solutions are being ignored (and who’s behind it) If you’ve ever felt like the system isn’t giving you the full story, you need to hear this. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Hormone disruption is on the rise. Testosterone levels are plummeting in men, while women are reporting irregular periods and fertility issues,  and it’s not being taken seriously by most doctors. Autoimmune symptoms may be misdiagnosed: Many “mystery” symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog are immune system red flags. Repurposed drugs are helping people heal. Medications like ivermectin and LDN (low-dose naltrexone) are being used off-label to reduce inflammation, regulate immune responses, and support recovery from long COVID and chronic illness. -- 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 Good resources for Ivermectin and Mebendazole are: https://allfamilypharmacy.com/makis/ (CODE MAKIS25) For Fenbendazole: https://shopbplife.com?sca_ref=8426171.Rn4pU8ZWgs5W  (CODE: MAKIS15) For anyone wanting more information on how Ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole works, or need dosing protocols, connect with Dr. Makis makisw79@yahoo.com Or visit his Substack makismd.substack.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.

Hey Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with physician and researcher Dr. William Makis to explore the deeper patterns emerging in our health! They discuss topics like why so many people are experiencing unexplained fatigue, chronic inflammation, and even earlier cancer diagnoses (what?!). Dr. Makis shares why our immune systems are more overwhelmed than ever, and how environmental stressors are taxing the body’s natural ability to heal. He breaks down what’s changed in the past few years, what warning signs to look for, and how to support your body so it stays resilient and strong. You’ll learn how to recognize the early red flags of immune dysfunction, what lifestyle choices could be feeding inflammation, and what it really takes to create an internal environment where your body can protect and restore itself. This is your sign to take care of your wellness from the inside out! Tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Chronic inflammation is a warning sign. Many cancers and autoimmune conditions begin with low-level inflammation that goes unchecked, tuning into early symptoms can help you take action before bigger issues arise. Your immune system is your greatest defense. When supported properly (through sleep, light, nutrition, and detox), your immune system can identify and destroy abnormal cells before they become disease. The “new normal” isn’t normal. More people are experiencing mystery symptoms, early cancer, and immune dysfunction, Dr. Makis will help you understand why it’s happening and how to reverse course. -- 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 Good resources for Ivermectin and Mebendazole are: https://allfamilypharmacy.com/makis/ (CODE MAKIS25) And for Fenbendazole: https://shopbplife.com?sca_ref=8426171.Rn4pU8ZWgs5W  (CODE: MAKIS15) For anyone wanting more information on how Ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole works, or need dosing protocols, connect with Dr. Makis makisw79@yahoo.com Or visit his Substack makismd.substack.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.

Hey Heal Squad! Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that our bodies are speaking to us, the only catch is… only if we know how to listen. Maria and Dr. Alison dive into a fascinating new cancer breakthrough that uses near-infrared light to dissolve tumors without chemo or surgery, and what it tells us about the role of light in healing every part of the body. They unpack how light exposure, cholesterol levels, and hormone balance are deeply connected, and why many of us are getting the wrong message about “high cholesterol.” You’ll learn why sunlight is more than just vitamin D, and how it actually fuels your body’s hormone production and cellular repair. PLUS, Maria shares the story behind a lung cancer diagnosis that started with a fingernail change, and why your hands might be revealing more about your health than you think. From nail polish to nail shape to the light you’re absorbing (or not), these small signs could be your body’s biggest red flags… you don’t want to miss this one!  -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist HEADLINES & RESOURCES: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14803131/cancer-breakthrough-doctors-zap-tumors-without-chemo.html  https://people.com/fingernails-clue-lung-cancer-symptoms-11736846  https://people.com/chiropractor-tears-neck-artery-cracking-11750504  https://people.com/bindi-irwin-misses-steve-irwin-gala-medical-emergency-11732642  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! This Heal in 10 is a quick but powerful gut health lesson with Dr. Steven Gundry! He breaks down the real reason red wine might actually be good for your gut, and it’s not because of the alcohol. He dives into research on how fermented beverages (like wine and champagne!) may increase microbiome diversity and lower inflammation markers. We also explore the surprising science behind postbiotics, like butyrate, and why these fermentation byproducts could be the missing link in your gut healing journey.

It’s Friday and we fooled them again. We made it through another week to bring you a new edition of Regular Guy Friday—this time from the back rooms of Boston to the dungeons of self-reflection. We talk the power of sending spontaneous messages of love and gratitude, why the work never really ends, and how even the weirdest jobs can shape your story. There’s the guy who knew the stock market but collected cans, the dungeon manager with the Jeopardy answers, and the regular guy caught between two worlds—Hollywood dreams and carne grit. We dig into how crucial it is to follow your passions, the power of sending spontaneous messages of love and gratitude, how nothing’s forever, and why that’s strangely freeing. It’s all subject to change—and that might be the most reliable truth of all. RGF Bonus: The great “comfy cuff” invention and why the love toy store might just have been a better classroom than any Ivy League. Happy Friday.

Elissa walks us through how eating with the seasons can help your body detox naturally, balance your hormones, and give your gut a much-needed break. She breaks down why we crave certain foods at different times of the year, how to time your meals to support digestion, and what most people get wrong about cleanses. PLUS, she shares her exact healing protocol for bouncing back from burnout, how she emotionally detoxes, and why slowing down is one of the most underrated wellness tools out there. This is the perfect episode to get back on track this season!

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back for Part 2 with the one and only Dr. Steven Gundry! We’re talking about why your favorite “healthy” foods, like cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers, might actually be hurting your gut. Dr. Gundry breaks down what lectins are, how they trigger inflammation, and how to work with your body instead of against it. We also get into how energy doesn’t come from caffeine or carbs, it comes from your mitochondria. And spoiler: most of us are draining our energy systems without realizing it. Dr. Gundry shares exactly how to nourish your mitochondria and start feeling better fast. Plus, the truth about olive oil. How much is too much? (Hint: you're probably not using enough.) And why this one food might be the ultimate anti-aging tool. This is exactly what your gut really needs to thrive. Tune in, Heal Squad!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  “Healthy” foods can hurt you. Many foods labeled as “heart-healthy” or “gut-friendly” (like whole grains and beans) are loaded with lectins that can damage the gut lining and cause inflammation. Energy isn’t just about calories, it’s about mitochondria. Dr. Gundry explains how mitochondrial health is the real key to energy, longevity, and healing… and why most people are running on low power without realizing it. Olive oil is liquid gold. It feeds your good gut bugs, supports anti-aging, reduces inflammation, and improves mitochondrial function. Gundry recommends aiming for a liter per week for optimal health. -- 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 DR.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week we’re diving deep into gut health with the brilliant Dr. Steven Gundry, cardiothoracic surgeon turned bestselling author and gut-health pioneer. Dr. Gundry breaks down why gut bugs are the real MVPs of your health, and how most of us are accidentally feeding the wrong ones. He explains how hidden triggers like lectins, sugar alcohols, and even “clean” foods are disrupting your microbiome, keeping you stuck in the inflammation spiral. PLUS, we get into why gut health affects your brain, mood, and even weight… but also shares the small changes that make a big difference. From what to ditch to what to eat more of, this conversation will help you simplify gut healing and feel better, faster. Let’s reset that gut & tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  You're feeding the wrong gut bugs. Most of us unknowingly nourish harmful bacteria by eating foods like oats, tomatoes, or sugar alcohols, which disrupt the microbiome and drive inflammation, fatigue, and brain fog. Lectins are triggering inflammation. These plant proteins (found in “healthy” foods like beans and nightshades) can damage the gut lining and lead to autoimmune issues, leaky gut, and chronic disease, especially when your gut is already compromised. Gut health is brain health. Your gut bugs produce key neurotransmitters and regulate inflammation. When the wrong bugs take over, it impacts mood, focus, and even motivation. -- 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 DR.

From where you store your phone to what you do right before bed, these small choices can have a big impact on your energy, focus, and long-term well-being.
