Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Hey Heal Squad! After our eye-opening conversation with Dr. Kristi Funk about breast cancer prevention and early detection, we wanted to revisit another incredibly important conversation. Because what happens when prevention isn't enough and you hear those four words no one ever wants to hear: "You have cancer"? Where do you even begin? That's why we're bringing back my conversation with cancer survivor, patient advocate, and Fatal to Fearless author, and two-time cancer survivor Kathy Giusti. She's breaking down her 12-step roadmap for navigating a cancer diagnosis, from finding specialists who truly understand your specific cancer to knowing which questions to ask, when to get a second opinion, and how to explore clinical trials. We also get into something we don't talk about enough: how to advocate for yourself when you're scared, overwhelmed, and don't even know what you don't know. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, supporting someone you love, or simply want to be better prepared, this is one of those conversations worth saving and sharing. Because when it comes to cancer, having the right information and the right team can make all the difference.

Hey Heal Squad!! In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re talking all things BOOBS today with renowned breast cancer surgeon Dr. Kristi Funk! Yup she is back and we are going way beyond “get your mammogram.” We’re talking about why breast cancer rates are rising, especially in younger women, what women with dense breasts need to know about what mammograms can miss, and the lifestyle factors Kristi says can actually impact our risk.Then we get into the future of breast screening and it will blow your mind! . Kristi breaks down new ultrasound technology, how AI helped find more cancers in a major mammography study, and how emerging AI may even be able to look at your mammogram and help predict your breast-cancer risk years into the future. Plus, Kristi shares why she recently teamed up with Venus Williams to get the word out about something surprisingly simple that many women still aren’t hearing enough about: the role our food and lifestyle can play in breast cancer risk. This episode isn’t about being scared of our boobs, it’s about finally understanding them, knowing our personal risk, asking better questions, and learning what we can actually start doing TODAY.

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS

Know your risk, not just your screening schedule: Kristi believes individualized breast-cancer risk assessment should start much earlier than most women realize.

A mammogram is detection, not preventionLScreening matters, but Kristi wants women to pay attention to the bigger modifiable factors that can impact long-term health and risk.

Dense breasts may need a bigger conversationL Know your breast density and ask your doctor whether your personal risk warrants additional screening beyond a mammogram

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with another What Worked This Week, and Maria kicks things off with a little travel talk. Yup, she shares a terrifying story about getting seriously sick overseas and ending up ALONE in a hospital in France. Can you imagine?! Well, there's one travel membership she wishes she'd known about back then, and she's telling us why she won't travel without it now. Seriously, if you have a trip coming up, you're going to want to hear this. Then we're getting into some fun finds! Maria found the BEST place to shop for flattering black trousers (hello, White House Black Market!), plus an Amazon find that's making organizing all those medications and supplements SO much easier. Then, things get personal when Maria opens up about a really scary experience she recently had with her Type 1 diabetes that nearly cost her her life. Thankfully, she's okay, but it led her to discover something that's been a total game changer: learning from other people going through the exact same thing. And it's a reminder that sometimes the best tips come from people who just GET IT. She's even sharing a podcast rec! Finally, can we talk about how badly we all need a break?! After our Heal Squad retreat at Canyon Ranch, Maria is reminding us why taking time for ourselves is SO important and why we shouldn't wait until we're completely burned out to do it. Plus, a BONUS that's absolutely ridiculous. Let's just say we found a pair of sandals that might make work for your toes! Lots of good finds, a few important life lessons, and plenty of laughs. You're going to love this one!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. We hear so much about the importance of self-improvement, self-care and doing the work to become our best selves. But what happens when there simply aren't enough hours in the day? This week, we talk the reality of balancing work, family, responsibilities and the endless list of things we're told we should be doing for our health and well-being. Meditation, exercise, healing protocols and daily non-negotiables all sound great, but they also require time, resources and sometimes a level of freedom many of us simply don't have. We talk why it's okay to give yourself a break, the difference between pleasure and true joy, and why finding what makes us happy can be difficult when we're constantly taking care of everyone else. We talk the idea of non-negotiables and why, for some of us, everything seems negotiable. The takeaway: stop measuring yourself against people whose circumstances may be very different from yours. Do what you can, when you can, and don't let the pursuit of self-improvement become another source of stress. Sometimes the most important thing we can do for ourselves is let go of the guilt and recognize that we're already doing a lot. Give yourself a little grace this week. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Chicken cutlet subs, Shamrock Shakes, wooden spoons, and the great butterscotch dip disappearance. We talk nostalgic foods this week, and apparently strawberry ice cream is somewhat controversial. We talk the hunt for a proper Italian sandwich in Florida, fresh bread, thinly pounded cutlets, and why chicken parmesan isn't always the best lunch choice. We talk Friendly's Fribbles, McFlurries, black and white shakes, cookies that look better than they taste, and Hoodsy cups —wooden spoon a must. We talk Spumoni, Dilly Bars, mom-and-pop ice cream stands, and the tragedy of losing a perfectly good dipping flavor. We talk Slurpees, why snow cones are basically a scam, old-fashioned chocolate sodas, Chipwiches, and those vending machines with three little doors. Plus, root beer floats with wrong ratios, whoopie pies that stick to your teeth, and a dad who knew how to sneak a little extra ice cream onto a cone. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with neighborhood ice cream shops, frozen treats of yesteryear, beef stroganoff, Watergate salad, smash burgers, air fryer wings, and a trip through the potluck dishes of the decades. We'll Talk Shawtly!
