1129. How To Get The MOST Out Of Your Life w/ Jonathan Fields

Hey Heal Squad! This week’s Throwback Thursday is for anyone ready to upgrade their fitness, especially as we move through different seasons of life! Celebrity trainers Andrea Orbeck and Nicole Stuart (whose clients include A-listers like Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, and Madonna!) join Maria to break down how to adjust your workouts as you age for longevity, strength, and true wellness. They share why short, efficient movement wins over long hours at the gym, how recovery and stretching are the real anti-aging secret weapons, and why mindfulness matters just as much as reps and resistance. Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond, this episode will help you work with your body, not against it. You can stay strong, energized, and empowered at every stage of life!  -- 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/  NICOLE & ANDREA RESOURCES  Nicole’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicolestuartla/?hl=en  Andrea’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreaorbeck/?hl=en  Book: https://www.amazon.com/Total-Body-Beautiful-Secrets-Looking/dp/1718202857/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3AYM6GO4D4CRT&keywords=total+body+beautiful+book&qid=1666236085&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=total+body+beau%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1&tag=mariamenouno-1-sc-20 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 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. Denise got honest about finding a weight where she could feel strong, balanced, and mentally well, not just lean for the sake of it. Lifting heavy builds more than muscle. Denise gained self-trust, resilience, and power in the gym. What started as physical strength became emotional strength too. -- 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/  DENISE KIRTLEY RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fiftyfitnessjourney/?hl=en Website: https://rebellionbody.com/  Get coaching: https://rebellionbody.com/pages/coaching  Challenge: https://my.playbookapp.io/denise-kirtley/programs/pull-up-program/23454  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! If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought “Is this just how it is now?” If so, this is exactly what you need to hear! In Part 1 of our conversation with Denise Kirtley, she shares how she went from burned out, binge eating, and pre-diabetic in her late 40s to competing in a bodybuilding competition in her 50s—after never having stepped foot in a gym. Denise opens up about the moment that made her change everything, how she overcame self-doubt and shame, and how strength training helped her reclaim her body, her energy, and her confidence. She also gets real about how to make the first step when you feel stuck, how to break the cycle of emotional eating, and why midlife isn’t a decline—it’s a decision. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, burnout, or just feel like you’re “starting over,” Denise will remind you that it’s never too late to become the strongest version of yourself. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Transformation starts with one honest moment. For Denise, it wasn’t a rock bottom—it was realizing her wedding ring didn’t fit. That moment of discomfort sparked a complete lifestyle shift. You can lose 50 pounds without extremes. Denise didn’t crash diet or obsess over perfection. She focused on consistent habits, strength training, and choosing long-term wellness over quick fixes. Emotional eating keeps you stuck in survival mode. Denise recognized how food was numbing her stress. Once she got curious instead of judgmental, everything started to shift. -- 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/  DENISE KIRTLEY RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fiftyfitnessjourney/?hl=en Website: https://rebellionbody.com/  Get coaching: https://rebellionbody.com/pages/coaching  Challenge: https://my.playbookapp.io/denise-kirtley/programs/pull-up-program/23454  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 so happy to have Dr. Laura Berman back. She is, a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and relationship expert who’s spent 30 years helping people master love, intimacy, and connection—mind, body, and soul. Here she discusses the complex dynamics behind infidelity revealing that  emotional disconnection and the need for validation can play major parts. Cheating is so opportunistic too! With modern social media acting as a "high school reunion on steroids," where people can be tempted by the idea of "the one that got away." Dr. Laura also explains why serial cheaters may be driven by a desire for the chase and dopamine hits rather than just sexual need. Let’s not hate the cheater just yet, rather learn about what’s really going on because like Dr. Laura mentions, anything can be addressed through better communication. -- 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/  GUEST RESOURCES: More on Dr. Laura: https://drlauraberman.com/ Follow Dr. Laura on IG: https://www.instagram.com/drlauraberman/?hl=en Follow Dr. Laura on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drlauraberman PRE-ORDER Sex Magic:  https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Magic-Relationship-Spectacular-Intimacy/dp/1637746946 Transform Your Grief w/ Dr. Laura: https://drlauraberman.com/griefhealingcollective/ Check out Dr. Laura’s Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/language-of-love-with-dr-laura-berman/id1552549384 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 Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week’s episode kicks off with the uplifting lyrics of Belinda Carlisle and blossoms into a spirited talk about the difference between possessing and admiring. Why admiring something—a house, a car, a theater, even success—might bring you more peace than actually owning it. We explore the age of Aquarius, generational disillusionment, and how the old systems just don’t vibe anymore. Keven shares why the younger generation seems lost (hint: it’s not laziness), and how our unconscious minds obey the scripts we write—whether that’s “my relationships never work out” or “I’m not enough.” We revisit Letting Go by Dr. David Hawkins to learn why guilt is just another indulgence of the small self and why stepping into “Selfishness” with a capital S (the empowered Self) might just be the most generous thing you can do. Add in a deep cut from Star Trek, ironic lessons to Captain Lou Albano and you’ve got this week’s Sunday Set Up. Remember, the bullets aren’t real. Not theirs. Not yours. Nothing here is permanent—except change. Let go and be present.

Hey Heal Squad! It’s a solo check-in with Nat this week while Kelsey takes a breather. From puppy updates and adorable Dylan stories to profound reflections on betrayal trauma, Natasha opens up about the surprising ways we hold on to old emotional wounds—and how learning to make space for stillness and receiving can start to shift everything. She shares a powerful conversation with Dr. Debbie Silber from the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, explores the difference between trauma and betrayal, and reminds us how past relationship patterns can quietly shape how we show up now. It’s a heart-forward episode about healing, slowing down, and remembering that it’s safe to receive. xo Nat  -- 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/  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! This week’s RGF focuses on more dream analysis and how it can transform you. From betrayal in a dream cafeteria to a third-floor restaurant with no elevator and a rabbit-headed spirit guide who’s clearly not here for your excuses,  we’re talking divine ejections, 11:10 on the clock (a.k.a. spiritual almostness), and why ChatGPT—sorry, Phineas J. Whoopi—might just be the best shrink there is. We talk all things recurring signs, emotional redirection, and what it means when spirit stops whispering and starts kicking you out of the past. We cover creative resistance and the genius trap and why dimming yourself could be deadly. We break down why betrayal in your dream isn’t about your partner or the betrayal even.  RGF Bonus: Captain Lou and Captain Kirk — and how delusional beliefs beats limiting beliefs and why your beliefs can kill you. Sundries, satchels, pails, penny buns, bear claws oh my!  Happy Friday.
