Conversations With Maria Menounos

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Hannah Brown, and this time, we’re going deeper into the heart. Hannah is opening up about her decision to start couples therapy with her fiancé Adam—not because something was wrong, but because they wanted to build a strong foundation for marriage. She talks about her avoidant attachment style, the trauma that shaped it, and how therapy has helped her feel seen, safe, and connected in ways she never thought possible. We also dive into Hannah’s latest season of life—between planning a wedding, writing her second novel, and working through lingering health issues like narcolepsy and inflammation flare-ups. Plus, she shares some of her favorite wellness rituals, beauty hacks, and the deeper emotional themes behind her new book The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain. If you’ve ever struggled to feel safe in love, felt unseen in a relationship, or wondered if healing your past is possible, this episode is for you.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re kicking off an incredible two-part conversation with Hannah Brown! You might know her from The Bachelorette, DWTS, and Special Forces, but today, she’s opening up in a way you’ve never seen before. For the first time, Hannah shares her personal journey of healing from chronic inflammation, anxiety, PCOS, and a mysterious autoimmune rollercoaster that left her in pain, confused, and feeling broken. She takes us through the real story behind her transformation—from not being able to walk up stairs to winning Special Forces and reclaiming her power. She also opens up about working with Dr. Daniel Amen, receiving a double uterus diagnosis, and how she’s navigating fertility and womanhood on her own terms. This episode is for anyone who’s felt dismissed, burned out, or “not enough”—because Hannah proves healing is messy, personal, and so worth it. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Stress Is a Silent Saboteur: Hannah shares how living in constant survival mode led to burnout, inflammation, a

Hey, Heal Squad! This week’s Roundtable is turning the temperature up (and way down) as they dive into the wellness world’s favorite trends: cold plunges and saunas. Are they really the ultimate healing tools—or are we just copying viral biohacks that don’t fit our unique bodies? We’re breaking down what everyone’s talking about: the “Joe Rogan Method” of 39°F cold plunging with methylene blue. Is it effective? Dr. Allison shares why context, mitochondrial health, and even your ancestral DNA play a huge role in how your body responds to cold. We also explore sauna detox strategies and the truth about why sweating isn’t always as simple as it seems. PLUS, Maria opens up about her own experience with cryotherapy and why she stopped cold plunging after expert advice. (P.S. there’s a better, gentler way to build resilience that doesn’t involve shocking your system into stress) Tune in!! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HE

Hey Heal Squad, it's the last day of the week and time for your Sunday Set Up. This week Kev is once again joined by college friend Anne to discuss leading with love and how doing so begets more love. There is also an in depth dream reveal and analysis with resident therapist Chat GPT doing the interpretations. In addition, Chat deciphers other messages you may be receiving from the universe - messages you're most likely unaware of but maybe shouldn't be. Shame feeds smoke. Love feeds light.  Here's to another great week!

Hey Regular Guys and Gals we made it through another week to another edition of Regular Guy Friday. East coast college friend Anne Sleeman returns where she and Kev discuss revelations on what living in the 3D world means, what living in the 4D world means and even what living in the 5D world means. How to integrate all three dimensions and why doing so enriches life. How the people who are willing to express their fears and pain are actually the most courageous of all. How there is much space to heal the victims but little space to heal the perpetrators. How there may be no such thing as perpetrators or victims at all - certainly not in the 5D world. How the emotion of courage is on the equator level of consciousness. How anger is better than shame because at least it has energy. How the emotion of anger can only elevate you so far and how true longevity is in the emotion of joy (as proven by various star athletes and yes we name them). How demons appear to battle you right on the cusp of recovery. How the r

Happy Throwback Thursday, Heal Squad! This week, we’re rewinding to one of our most brain-boosting conversations with Jim Kwik, brain coach and best-selling author of Limitless. Jim introduces us to his Brain Animal Quiz—a simple but powerful tool that reveals your unique cognitive style and how you learn best. Whether you’re a cheetah, owl, dolphin, or elephant, understanding your brain type can help you read faster, improve memory, build better teams, and even become a more connected parent or leader. Maria and Jim also dive into child development, parenting styles, mirror neurons, and why who you spend time with is who you become. If you’ve ever wished you could work smarter, not harder, this one’s for you.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our amazing convo with Nicole Sachs, LCSW, psychotherapist, mindbody expert, and author of the upcoming book Mind Your Body. This time, Nicole is diving deep into her transformative practice called JournalSpeak, a method that’s helped her and so many others heal from chronic pain, anxiety, autoimmune symptoms, and more by getting to the root of what’s really going on: unprocessed emotions. She breaks down how our subconscious beliefs, people-pleasing patterns, and early-life stressors can keep us sick—even when we think we’ve “moved on.” Nicole also shares personal stories (including how she healed a severe spinal condition doctors said was permanent!) and the exact tools that helped clients like Ricki Lake and Shoshana Bean reclaim their health. If you’ve been doing all the things but still feel stuck, this might be the missing piece. Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  JournalSpeak as a Path to Healing: Nicole shares how her daily 20-minute practice, Journ

Hey Heal Squad! Are you ready to shift how you see your pain, anxiety, and even your daily stress? Well, you’re in luck cause in Part 1, Maria is joined by Nicole Sachs, LCSW, psychotherapist, mindbody expert, and author of the upcoming book Mind Your Body! Nicole’s here to break down why so many of us are stuck in chronic fight-or-flight mode, and how that stress can actually lead to physical symptoms like fatigue, back pain, migraines, anxiety, and even long COVID. She shares the powerful concept of the emotional reservoir—how our repressed feelings (yes, even the ones we don’t know we’re holding on to) can overflow and start showing up in the body. Nicole also dives into the real science behind why your body might be using symptoms to protect you… and what you can do about it. If you’ve ever thought “everything in my life seems fine, but I still feel off”, tune in and get ready to feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal!

Hey Heal Squad! The Roundtable is BACK and this week Maria and the squad uncover a massively overlooked health issue, fatty liver, and how it might be quietly affecting your energy, metabolism, and even your risk for diabetes?! We break down how circadian rhythm dysfunction, artificial light, and poor detox pathways are fueling this epidemic—even in people who “look” healthy. Also, why insulin resistance is on the rise, what to look out for before blood tests show a problem, and how your environment may be working against your body. PLUS, Maria shares what she’s been learning about her own liver health, and the simple daily shifts she’s already using to boost energy, reduce inflammation, and support real healing.

Hey, Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10, Dr. Jonas Kuehne is pulling back the curtain on one of the most controversial (and misunderstood) medications out there: ivermectin. He reveals the real science behind ivermectin and why it was originally studied for cancer long before COVID-19. He explains how it won a Nobel Prize, helped eradicate disease, and why it’s been so heavily criticized despite being used worldwide in millions of patients. We also dive into fenbendazole, metabolic cancer therapy, and the two fuel sources your cancer cells rely on—glucose and glutamine—and how cutting them off could starve cancer. This 10-minute clip is packed with surprising research, practical takeaways, and a powerful reminder: sometimes the tools that help us heal the most are the ones no one’s talking about.

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.

Christina shares why mobility matters more than muscle, and how building strength the right way helps kids thrive—without burning out their growing brains and bodies. We’re also talking about why root canals might be wrecking your immune system, what no one tells you about cavitations, and the healthier alternative most dentists won’t mention.

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
