Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Hey Heal Squad! It’s a brand new What Worked This Week, and Maria is sharing 5 breakthroughs that she can’t wait to tell you about! First up… a major “aha” moment! So Maria just got a lymphatic massage…. and after a recent chat with an upcoming guest (stay tuned 👀)... Maria has begun connecting the dots between lymph node removal, surgery, radiation, and what we often label as “belly fat” or cellulite. What if some of it isn’t fat at all… but stagnant lymph? Maria shares some ideas on how a lymphatic massage, gentle movement, and rebounding on a trampoline can help naturally move the lymph. And she’s getting deep on body acceptance too! Next, her  sleep and screen breakthrough and how eye masks and blue light blockers are officially non-negotiables, along with Dr. Zach Bush’s Ion Gut Support to feel better after meals. Then… widgets. Yes, phone widgets. Maria just discovered them (no judging!) and says they’ve completely changed her digital habits. And finally, a sugar-free sweet potato recipe that’s Athena approved. So enjoy these little shifts that are proving some game changing results! We can only hope they work for you too!

Yep… even your morning ritual might be working against your healing. If you’re dealing with inflammation, autoimmune symptoms, or just trying to understand what your body’s been trying to tell you, this quick segment is full of those big “wait… WHAT?!” moments Heal Squad lives for.

Happy Potluck Saturday (and Valentine’s Day!) Heal Squad. Surprise!! Today we’re popping Super Bowl halftime fantasies, Valentine’s Day history, and of course a little candy time. We talk trolling for fun (not harm), why lightness is sometimes the smartest response to a loud world, and how a halftime show is really just a business play anyway… so you might as well add buttered popcorn dancers and commit to the insanity. We talk how Valentine’s Day went from Roman ritual to Hallmark pressure cooker, and why doing kind things daily beats one performative day every February. Nostalgia marketing, candy loyalties, cupid skepticism, doilies that won’t die, and the lasting trauma of elementary-school Valentines. Whatever you’re doing (buying discount candy, dodging expectations, or auditioning as a dancing snack) remember to keep your perspective and follow the fun. Talk shawtly!

They dissect Hollywood’s fading cultural grip and why creators should build their own paths. They unpack Super Bowl halftime spectacle, nostalgia-driven reboots, and a surprise comeback for a discontinued mint. They explore fight-or-flight stress, how it hijacks health, and why choosing peace and joy matters. The episode lands on one rule: follow the fun.

Mark Groves, human connection specialist and founder of Create The Love, breaks down why we repeat relationship patterns. He explores codependency, people-pleasing, attachment styles, and the body’s somatic signals. Learn about the “sacred pause,” porous boundaries, grief and rage, and how choosing yourself can reset how you relate.

Dr. Josh Redd, a naturopathic and functional medicine physician and author of The 30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Reset, outlines why chronic inflammation causes puffiness, fatigue, and brain fog. He covers how sunlight, environment, blood sugar, stress, movement, and common foods fuel inflammation. Practical tools and tests to detect hidden inflammation are discussed in short, actionable segments.

Short travel life hacks make packing and boarding way easier, from a laminated checklist to a foldable travel duffel and neat laptop gear. Comfort-first travel style gets a shoutout with feel-good pajamas. The conversation shifts to identity work: shedding labels, confronting people-pleasing, and accepting you might be the villain in someone else’s story while learning to choose yourself.

A dream about unloading carnival gear sparks a conversation on letting go of long-held obligations. They unpack over-functioning, setting boundaries, and recognizing when past roles no longer fit. Stories about hoarder houses, Millennial and Gen Z quirks, and parenting anecdotes add humor and relatability.

A lively chat about why feeling drained often comes from chasing what does not energize you and how following joy can restore clarity and purpose. Fun stories about acting class wins, memorizing lines, and age as an advantage in film. Tangents on ADHD traits as strengths, celebrity culture at the Grammys, and how headlines and rumors shape public perception.

Tips on spotting and stopping the negative thought spiral that fuels stress and anxiety. Discussion of why living in the past or future traps you and how bodies get hooked on familiar stress patterns. Simple daily practices, meditations, and morning rituals to clear the mind. Ideas for disconnecting from drama and reconditioning your baseline toward calm and future-focused thinking.
