Happy Christmas Sunday, Heal Squad. Yes, Christmas Sunday, we’re still making it a thing! Today is a cozy, wandering, holiday check-in filled with stories, laughs, nostalgia, and a few truths you didn’t know you needed. Kev and Anne talk about light displays, holiday traditions, gift tins that promise more than they deliver, and why the best holiday treats should actually feel special. A spirited (and very serious) discussion on cookies, popcorn, brittle, peanuts, and why some gifts are more about the container than what’s inside. We hope it’s a light in your jam-packed week, and sets you up for the Holiday week. Bye Betches!

Happy Christmas Saturday, Heal Squad! Yes, Christmas Saturday… We’re making it a thing. Today starts with a moment from Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town that may be one of the most powerful lessons on change, generosity, and choice there is. How even the most hardened people don’t change through force, they change through kindness. How life doesn’t turn around all at once… it turns on your next choice. Kev talks thoughtful gift-giving (not expensive, meaningful), why the best gifts say “I see you,” and how presence, connection, and small rituals are what actually make this season special. Whatever you’re doing today, shopping, traveling, catching up, or hiding out, may this episode help you soften, choose differently, and enjoy the people right in front of you. Talk shawtly!

Happy Friday, Heal Squad! This Lonely Guy edition of Regular Guy Friday lands in that narrow stretch between the holidays and the new year… when everyone’s tired, reflective, and quietly asking, “Did I do enough?” How maybe we need to redefine what “finishing strong” really means. It may mean closing deals, wrapping projects, and riding momentum into the new year. But maybe it means slowing down, setting boundaries and protecting energy. How self-betrayal (not rest!) is what actually blocks what comes next. How these two weeks are magic and the best time to catch up annually with dear friends. A cool Sean Whalen story reminds us to always 'be open' and a sure fire way to create luck and opportunity. A cool Carl Reiner story reminds us of the love between a father and son. A poignant Rob Reiner story reminds us all to be empathetic, grateful and tolerant.   Bye Betches!

Hey Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to one of our most unforgettable conversations of the year with the one and only Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg. Jenny gets real about her son’s life-threatening seizures, his autism diagnosis, and why trusting her intuition changed everything, even when it meant facing intense backlash. She shares the behind-the-scenes truth about her advocacy journey, how she was talking about the gut-brain connection long before it was mainstream, and how that path ultimately led her to creating her clean beauty brand, Formless Beauty. This episode is raw, honest, and filled with those “wait… WHAT?!” moments that remind us why listening to your body (and your inner voice) matters so much!

Hey Heal Squad! Have you noticed more robots showing up in your doctor’s office lately? You’re not imagining it! Dr. Jason Snibbe, one of the country’s top orthopedic surgeons (and the man behind countless celebrity joint replacements, including yes, Kris Jenner’s hip surgery) is here to tell us why robots may be one of the most advanced healing tools we’ll ever have. But do they actually work… and should you trust them? He’ll tell us if we should and the everyday exercises that are secretly aging your joints (you’re probably doing this one daily!), and the one exercise that becomes non-negotiable if you want longevity. And if you’re hoping to avoid the operating room altogether? He shares the prevention strategies and regenerative therapies that might save you from ever needing a replacement. Consider this your crash course in becoming the CEO of your joint health,  with a few “wait… WHAT?!” moments you’ll be thinking about long after the episode ends. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: AI + Robotics Are Redefining Joint Surgery:  Robotics now allow surgeons to place implants with near-perfect precision, reducing complications and improving recovery. AI can quickly create custom plans to determine the best implant for you. Prevention Starts With Muscle, Not Mileage:  The biggest protectors of your joints are your muscles. High-impact running, deep hip/knee bending, and weak muscle mass accelerate damage, while resistance training becomes a must for protecting your hips, knees, and spine as you age.

Hello Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with two major forces behind the Environmental Working Group …aka EWG: Ken Cook, President and Co-Founder, and Jocelyn Lyle, Executive VP of Mission & Partnerships. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really in your products, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. Maria first learned about EWG from Jenny McCarthy, and it’s been her gold standard in clean and safe ever since. But today isn’t just about clean mascara or safer lotion… it’s about something far bigger: the hidden toxins in our everyday routines…like drinking water! Ken and Jocelyn are here to break down how we can fix it and uncover how dangerous chemicals sneak into personal care and household products. They also share how EWG is helping all of us, from busy parents to conscious consumers make smarter, safer choices without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re stepping into 2026 with a mission to protect your health, clean up your routine, or finally understand what’s actually going on your body (and in your water), this conversation will change how you shop, how you think, and how you care for yourself from head to toe. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Legal” does not mean safe : U.S. regulations for cosmetics and water are decades behind scientific research, which means harmful chemicals can be completely legal yet still linked to health problems. Your water likely contains multiple contaminants: Between PFAS, agricultural runoff, industrial chemicals, and aging infrastructure, water across the country includes contaminants that treatment systems can’t fully remove. Hidden toxins are everywhere, and companies don’t always disclose them.
