Conversations With Maria Menounos

Hey Heal Squad! In this short and sweet Heal in 10, we’re breaking down one new study (Thanks Mark Hyman!) that reveals if your child is exposed to this one ingredient in the first 1,000 days of life, how it can dramatically impact your child’s risk of chronic disease for decades… We’re talking Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, immune strength, brain development, and more. The science shows that this tiny window programs metabolic health for the next 50+ years, and the results might surprise you. PLUS, Maria shares how she’s been navigating sugar, oils, and food quality with Athena, why she avoids “sugar-free swaps” that confuse kids later, and how building a solid nutritional foundation early can strengthen immunity and prevent long-term health issues. She also opens up about the pressure and guilt parents feel, and why you can’t blame yourself for what you didn’t know. This is your sign that it’s never too late to pivot, educate, and lead your family toward better habits. Tune in!! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIA
