Hey Heal Squad! Kels and Nat are back with a quick Saturday check-in to help you reset, reflect, and recharge. Natasha gets real about managing stress, staying present, and breaking free from the "hamster wheel" of unproductive thoughts. She shares the simple practices that help her feel grounded—like exercise, keeping promises to herself, and conscious mindfulness. Meanwhile, Kelsey is fresh off her Coachella recovery journey and opening up about what it’s like when you're not feeling your best. She shares the meditation techniques her massage therapist taught her, her weekend plans for some cozy self-care, and the reminder that it's okay to slow down and give yourself grace. The Kweenz are separated today, but they’ll be back together soon - and maybe with a surprise guest!  Xo Kels & 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 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! This Throwback Thursday, we’re joined by Dr. Steven Gundry—cardiothoracic surgeon, gut health expert, and author of The Energy Paradox. Dr. Gundry breaks down how leaky gut is at the root of modern-day fatigue, what foods are quietly disrupting your energy, and why simply popping anti-inflammatory supplements isn’t the answer. He shares surprising truths about fruit, smoothies, and grains (yup, even the healthy ones) and teaches us how to “seal the border” of the gut for real, lasting healing. You’ll also hear how gut buddies and postbiotics might be the energy-boosting allies you didn’t know you needed—and why your farts could actually be a good sign.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our incredible conversation with Dr. Jonas Kuehne, regenerative health expert and founder of Cryohealthcare. And in this episode, we’re diving deep into a cutting-edge topic—umbilical stem cells, and how they could change the way we fight disease, reduce inflammation, support the brain, and even reverse aging. Dr. Jonas breaks down exactly how stem cells work in the body, the difference between newborn and autologous cells, why the FDA restricts expansion in the U.S., and what to watch out for if you’re considering therapy abroad.  PLUS, get into Jonas’ daily anti-aging routine: from avoiding seed oils and eating clean, to fasting, early workouts, and why he's big on vitamin K2 with D3. This episode is filled with simple shifts that can make a big impact on your energy, skin, digestion, and long-term health. Listen to Part 1 HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Umbilical stem cells are powerful builders: They are not just replacements. They help repair damage, recruit your body’s healing resources, and may even support neurological repair and immune balance. Your body needs breaks to heal. Strategic fasting, whole foods, and clean protein help support detox, reduce inflammation, and activate longevity pathways like autophagy. The anti-aging secret? Keep it clean. Cutting seed oils, artificial sweeteners, and hormone-disrupting ingredients is one of the most powerful ways to protect your energy, skin, and hormonal balance. -- 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 EPISODE RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.jonas.kuehne/  Website: http://www.jonasmd.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JonasKuehneMD  Cryo Healthcare: https://www.cryohealthcare.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaeeU6H7MNMsAm5HIjcNleJrRLnokvOYUGLe9LXN-ayts3HPaHLVb2cqVaPKHw_aem_bbgV2vuCpxgV6l6T1w9ceQ  Face Lifter: https://www.facelifter.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAae34sptRGBD2YTWovchpdiWvvIP1fPapkn42gz2ao_J-JSq-yg1w_HSLaedYQ_aem_Y17-S3O73cBe3WMV-5yDRw 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! Get ready to learn how to radically boost your energy, immune system, and brain health—naturally. In Part 1, Maria sits down with Dr. Jonas Kuehne, renowned integrative physician and regenerative health expert, to break down everything you need to know about mitochondrial health—including how to use it as your body’s first line of defense against chronic illness and even cancer. We’re talking methylene blue, melatonin production, vitamin D, and even the truth behind controversial (but promising) therapies like ivermectin and fenbendazole. Dr. Jonas also explains the science behind red light, grounding, and how your body’s healing potential increases exponentially when you optimize your light, sleep, and nutrient exposure. From reversing brain fog to metabolic healing and cancer prevention—this episode is filled with real tools and science-backed hope. You don’t want to miss this one! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Mitochondria are the engines of your body. Boosting their function can increase energy, slow aging, and even prevent disease. Methylene blue is a powerful mitochondrial support. At the right dose, it helps brain function, fights pathogens, and may even aid in cancer recovery. Controversial doesn’t mean ineffective. Repurposed drugs like ivermectin and fenbendazole show promise in cancer treatment—and Dr. Jonas explains why science (not stigma) should lead the way. -- 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 EPISODE RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.jonas.kuehne/  Website: http://www.jonasmd.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JonasKuehneMD  Cryo Healthcare: https://www.cryohealthcare.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaeeU6H7MNMsAm5HIjcNleJrRLnokvOYUGLe9LXN-ayts3HPaHLVb2cqVaPKHw_aem_bbgV2vuCpxgV6l6T1w9ceQ  Face Lifter: https://www.facelifter.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAae34sptRGBD2YTWovchpdiWvvIP1fPapkn42gz2ao_J-JSq-yg1w_HSLaedYQ_aem_Y17-S3O73cBe3WMV-5yDRw 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 for another Heal in 10 episode! We’re bringing you one of the most shocking healing stories we’ve ever shared. Maria’s close friend Joe was suddenly diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy and left with little hope—until he connected with Gaby Piccirilli, holistic healer and creator of RPT (Regenerative Pathway Therapy). Gaby worked with Joe for just three sessions, and the results? Nothing short of miraculous. Joe regained movement in his face, reversed his Bell’s Palsy symptoms, AND quit smoking—something he’d tried to do for years. Gaby walks us through how she tapped into Joe’s nervous system, energetic field, and subconscious patterns using clavi therapy, intention, and mind-body healing techniques. If you’ve ever doubted your body’s ability to heal, this is the proof you’ve been waiting for. -- 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 EPISODE RESOURCES: Gaby’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabypiccirilli/  The RPT Method: https://www.rpt.health/  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.
