Happy Monday Heal Squad! Welcome to part one of my conversation with Functional Medicine Expert Dr. Will Cole. After seeing an Instagram post by Dr. Cole where he shared his insights on the Netflix documentary ‘You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment’, I was inspired to learn more about the food we are putting in our bodies. In our conversation, we delve into topics such as the performance of vegan versus omnivore diets, the distinction between causation and correlation, and the power of belief in shaping our health.  What is the best diet? Are all processed meats bad? Is it our food or is it what we have done to the food? Dr. Will Cole will answer all of these questions and so many more to help us better understand why we are what we eat. Whether you're considering a dietary change or seeking insights into our food supply, this episode will inspire you to make more informed choices regarding what you are putting into your body. Make sure to come back for part 2 where we will discuss regenerative meats, where we can buy quality meats, and orthorexia.  Healers & Heal-Liners: We have to make the distinction between causation and correlation. The average medical doctor would fail a basic nutrition test. Choose wonder over worry. The best meats to incorporate into your diet are wild-caught fish and grass-fed beef.

What is your love language and the love language of those you interact with? How being mindful of people's love languages (and your own) will help you in all relationships, business and personal. How (and why) success in youth is often prohibitive. How the partner you choose can make or break your dreams. Turn towards people who get you and away from people who don't get you and you'll get even more of what you turn towards.

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad. Today we’re bringing back our conversation with End of Life and Grief Doula, Dianne Gray, as she offers practical guidance and support on navigating the grieving process. Death is an inevitable part of life and through the perfectly, imperfect mess that this experience brings us, Dianne reminds us to give ourselves grace because grieving takes time. Once a loved one passes away, they’re not completely gone, their energy has just shifted, and we can ask ourselves the important question "Who Am I Becoming?" as we navigate life with them in a different form. Dianne also helps us address the often-overlooked emotion of anger in the grieving process, grief attacks, and various other components of grief that will allow us to look at it differently.  Healers & Heal-Liners We all experience death, but what do we do with it?  If you’re a long-time caregiver, understand that caregiving is brutal. Love is energy and energy is neither created nor destroyed. It just changes forms Research shows that if we can go 20-30 minutes in nature, it elevates and changes our brain makeup and also helps us to connect.  If you lose a spouse, partner, or someone that they are tied to - give yourself a long runway. Realize that life is not going to change overnight. Give yourself years to adapt to whatever your life might become. We cry when we feel safe. It’s our way to just release.  Grieving isn’t just when someone dies. Grieving is during the whole process of someone being ill. Don’t put a period, where a comma has been placed.

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad.

Nicole gives a raw and courageous look into how she found the light in her darkest moment after her mother was tragically murdered and reminds us that grief is different for everyone, and we have the power to move through it in our unique way. She reflects on the inevitability of death and how our response to its presence defines our own lives. Nicole's choice to respond with gratitude serves as a powerful reminder to cherish the time we have with loved ones and celebrate the impact they had on our lives. Throughout the episode, Nicole inspires us to honor our lost loved ones by living fully and recognizing the preciousness of each day. Through her powerful insights and personal stories, she reminds us that life is both beautiful and tough and that our journey is defined by the impact we make on others.

This outdoor chat or 'Grab Bag Tuesday' Edition of Heal Squad features Maria and Kev discussing daughter Athena's upcoming Christening. In a new 'versus' segment, the couple discusses Being Clever vs. Being Wise in personal and business decisions and why the former is short-sighted. They also weigh in on Gratitude Lists vs. Accomplishment Lists. Is there a means to do both? And how the more acute the depression, the greater the need to write an Accomplishment List over a Gratitude One. Heal Squad's 'Grab Bag Tuesday' goes meta when Kev breaks down the contents of a 1970's burfday grab bag.  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/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop my Macy’s Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Just Thrive: https://justthrivehealth.com and use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off your first 90-day bottle of Just Calm and Just Thrive Probiotic Wonderful 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.
