1130. Heal Your Inner Child: Alyson Stoner On Trauma & The Cost of Childhood Fame

Happy Sunday! Welcome to the pilot episode of the Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week we discuss the first move to make when feeling stuck, burdened or even in crisis. Some of us are in crisis but many more just feel stuck. While the pain of the latter seems minimal compared to the former, we are tired, overweight or even dealing with any number of ailments. Before you jump into Tony Robbins, Joe Dispenza or any other great healing or empowerment modality, there is one simple task that will prepare you to elevate. We discuss Life Force as it exists in the quantum and in you and the means to access yours to enrich and lengthen your life.  Remember, whether it's pain or joy, nothing here is permanent. The only thing that is permanent is change. So let go and be present. Have a great week Heal Squad! -- 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 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.

Regular Guy Friday Fans, if you're feeling lonely it's all good. We have another edition of Lonely Guy Friday. How simple is not less than, how the word needs to be redefined and the true power of simplicity. How releasing from attachments to material possessions ascends you. How releasing from attachments to having more wealth, ironically, leads to more wealth. When you reassess your life, you will see how healthy you really are - and more will come when you do. How the energy of pure love will outweigh the energy of pure BS - proof included. LGF Bonus: Johnny Cash first rendition of Man in Black in its entirety, a listening test for the LGF inner circle of three, how angels and guides speak to us through everything from children to song lyrics and how, regardless of your religion, spring can be a great milestone for renewal - or not.  The latter is okay, too. Bye Betches.        -- 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 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 are back with the brilliant Dr. Christina Rahm, and trust us—this episode is a must-listen! You’ve heard Maria talk about quiet quitting sushi, but today, Dr. Christina is breaking down the shocking truth about parasites in sushi—and why eating it overseas can leave you feeling wrecked!  (Hint: It’s NOT just about freshness.) But don’t panic just yet—she’s also revealing what you can take to protect your body if you still indulge. And here’s a twist… Could tequila actually help protect you from sickness?! Dr. Christina spills the science behind a specific type of tequila that may kill bacteria, boost your health, and (maybe?!) help you live to 130! But that’s not all—we’re also diving into one of the most harmful ingredients in sunscreen that might be damaging your body instead of protecting it. Just because a product is labeled “natural” or “safe” doesn’t mean it actually is—Dr. Christina is teaching us how to decode ingredient lists and make smarter choices. This episode is packed with mind-blowing facts and a whole lot of OMG moments. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Be Careful on What You Consume: Consuming raw sushi, especially depending on location, can be risky due to parasites and contamination. But adds, the purest form of tequila may help protect the body against parasites and viruses. Hidden Toxins in Everyday Products: Labels can be misleading—terms like "extract" and "natural flavoring" can mean different things depending on their manufacturing process. Sunscreen can also carry harmful chemicals like titanium dioxide, which may have serious health risks, including links to squamous cell melanoma, a form of skin cancer that can spread to the brain. Science Behind Sunlight: Dr. Christina explains that sunlight is a crucial signaling source for our bodies—providing energy, helping metabolize nutrients, and supporting cellular health. This is often misunderstood by mainstream medical narratives. -- 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 DR.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria couldn’t be more thrilled to sit down with the powerhouse that is Dr. Christina Rahm—a scientist, inventor, and global entrepreneur who’s completely revolutionizing the world of health and wellness. Her focus? Detoxification and its game-changing role in healing the body from the inside out. Yes, we can be smarter than the viruses we carry! But here’s where things get wild—Maria and Dr. Christina realized they BOTH contracted Lyme disease at the same time! This led to an eye-opening conversation about how Dr. Christina is battling Lyme, but also how she overcame a brain tumor, skin cancer, and more—all by unlocking the power of detoxification and root cause healing. Dr. Christina shares jaw-dropping insights into what to do if you’ve been diagnosed with Lyme, how you need both science and holistic healing to win, and why peptides are beneficial but can cause concern. This conversation is a must-listen if you’re ready to become the CEO of your health and make empowered, life-changing decisions for your health. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  The Power of Detox: When a virus cell or cancer cell communicates with healthy cells, it tries to convince them to replicate its damaged state. Detoxification is the key to disrupting this process. By removing toxins and supplementing the body with the right nutrients, you can optimize cellular health. Be The CEO of Your Health: Every person holds the key to their own health—they just need to research, listen, and take charge of their wellness journey. -- 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 DR.

Hey Heal Squad! Did you know that 10%-15% of women are affected by endometriosis, and the signs can show up as early as age 14?
