  PotLuck Saturday: Columbia House- How Did 12 Albums for a Penny Actually Work 26.09.2026 35min

  Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Twelve albums for a penny, jazz fusion, fake apartment numbers, and 22,000 CDs. Yes, we’re finally talking about Columbia House. We talked about the Columbia Record and Tape Club, the little cards tucked inside magazines, waiting for that cardboard box to arrive, and the fine print that turned one innocent penny into- well- a lot more. We talk about the albums you actually wanted, the ones you definitely didn’t, and the teenagers who discovered there were ways around the system. We talk about Hootie & the Blowfish, Better Than Ezra, the documentary The Target Shoots First, and David Russo — the New Jersey guy who used 1,630 aliases and 12 mailboxes to get more than 22,000 CDs before the Postal Inspectors finally caught up with him. It’s a Pot Luck Saturday with mail-order music, teenage schemes, forgotten CDs, Lester Wunderman, the Advertising Hall of Fame, and the days when getting a box of records in the mail felt like an event.

  RGF Ep. 292: When Jerks Use their Powers for Good 25.09.2026 47min

  Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week!Fall is officially here, the heat has been switched on, and the digressions have gone quadratic. We talk about why the decades used to feel so different, the business lesson hiding inside the Gold Rush, and why sometimes the smartest move is selling the maps and shovels instead of chasing the gold. We talk about the importance of knowing your players, and occasionally letting the Harriet Olsens of the world use their powers for good. Plus, NECCO Wafers are somehow still alive, “sundries” deserves a comeback, and old Art Bell predictions may actually offer us a little hope: after decades of doom and gloom that never quite happened, maybe we’re going to be okay after all. Try to remember why we are here: To learn from mistakes, help each other, have a few laughs along the way. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

  Hey, Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to one of our favorite conversations with comedian, writer, actor, and now Dancing with the Stars podcast host Andy Richter!You probably know Andy as Conan O’Brien’s longtime hilarious sidekick, but in this conversation, we get to see a much more vulnerable side of him. Andy opens up about his mental health journey, navigating rejection and uncertainty in Hollywood, and how comedy can become a way to process the hard stuff, find perspective, and keep moving forward. He also shares what decades in entertainment have taught him about staying positive when your career doesn’t go according to plan, the advice he’d give anyone trying to break into the business, and the one quality he believes is at the heart of truly great comedy.It’s funny, honest, unexpectedly healing, and filled with advice that goes way beyond Hollywood. Whether you’re chasing a dream, navigating a tough season, or just need the reminder that sometimes laughter really can help us through, this one is worth revisiting. Enjoy!

  1352. Life After a Double Mastectomy: Jackie Tohn on Recovery, Intimacy & Her Health Now PLUS Nobody Wants This Cast Secrets 23.09.2026 35min

  Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Nobody Wants This star Jackie Tohn, and today she gets incredibly candid about what life actually looks and feels like after a preventive double mastectomy following her BRCA1 discovery. She talks about waking up with reconstructed breasts, what surprised her about recovery, losing sensation in her breasts and nipples, and the complicated reality of knowing you made the right decision while still grieving the body you had before. And this one hit us: before surgery, Jackie did a nude photo shoot to document her breast, but she still hasn’t been able to look at the pictures.But in true Jackie fashion, there was also a LOT of joy with her mastectomy. She takes us inside her hilarious “Boob Voyage” party, the incredible women who showed up for her, and the support system that carried her through one of the hardest chapters of her life.Then we lighten things WAY up and get into Nobody Wants This! Jackie spills on her castmates, her longtime friendship with Kristen Bell, what everyone is really like when the cameras stop rolling, and a truly insane prank involving Justine Lupe, Kristen and what Kristen thought was a jug of pee. Yes, you read that correctly.  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can know you made the right decision and still grieve what you lost. Jackie opens up about accepting her reconstructed breasts while admitting she still isn’t ready to look at photos of her body before surgery. Healing doesn’t have to look serious all the time. Jackie turned an incredibly difficult chapter into a “Boob Voyage,” surrounding herself with the people who loved her and finding moments of joy even when she was scared and grieving. Sometimes the people who’ve been through it become your greatest resource. Jackie shares how women who had already faced mastectomy helped guide her, and how she’s now passing that same support forward to other women navigating their own surgeries.

  1351. Jackie Tohn on Her Preventive Double Mastectomy, BRCA1 + Her Health Crisis That Put Heal Squad Into Action 22.09.2026 40min

  Hey Heal Squad! Nobody Wants This star Jackie Tohn is her, and you guys…there is a STORY behind why it took us this long to finally have this conversation! Let’s just say, the first time Jackie came to Heal Squad, she threw her back out so badly on the way to the studio that by the time she arrived, she couldn’t even get out of her car and was hysterically crying in pain. So instead of recording the episode, Maria and the Heal Squad jumped into action and focused on getting Jackie some relief. Jackie shares what happened next, how quickly things started to shift, and why she still jokes that the Heal Squad are basically “witches.” But that’s not the total story! Jackie tells us about her dad’s unexpected cancer diagnosis which led her to do genetic testing, and ultimately led her to the discovery that she carried a BRCA1 mutation. She takes us inside the shock of learning she was at significantly increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer, the anxiety and information overload that followed, and the huge decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy. We also get into how overwhelming it can be when different doctors give you completely different advice, why Jackie sought multiple opinions and built an entire medical team, and the women who stepped up to help her navigate a world she knew nothing about. This episode is funny, emotional, and such an important reminder that sometimes one piece of information about your family health history can change EVERYTHING. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Sometimes your health has to become more important than showing up. Jackie arrived at Heal Squad in so much back pain she still wanted to push through and record, until Maria stopped the interview and made getting her help the priority. Your family’s health history could reveal something about your own. Jackie had no idea BRCA1 was part of her story until her dad’s unexpected cancer diagnosis ultimately led her to genetic testing. One doctor’s opinion doesn’t have to be the end of the conversation. After learning she was BRCA1-positive, Jackie sought multiple opinions and learned firsthand how differently doctors can approach the same diagnosis and preventive surgery options 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 Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host Medjet: medjet.com GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Jackie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jackietohn/ Watch Nobody Wants This: https://www.netflix.com/title/81591296 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.

  1350. A Confidence Boost Hack, Sunrise Hikes + What’s Working for Maria’s Gut and Blood Sugar 21.09.2026 37min

  Hey Heal Squad! Maria is coming in HOT after a whirlwind week of travel…from  New York, to  Philly, to Boston and  LA…but somehow after a wild week of jam packed schedules…she came out of it feeling happier and more energized instead of completely depleted. So…what worked? Well she’s gonna tell us!  First, we’re asking a question that might hit a little deeper than expected: Who is your camera? You know that person you look to after you do something, waiting for them to tell you, “You did great”? Maria realized we may need to be VERY careful about who we give that job to  and maybe learn how to turn the camera back on ourselves.Then things get a little more…digestive LOL! After mostly cutting out dairy, Maria brought Greek yogurt back into the mix for more protein and noticed a VERY unexpected bathroom benefit. Yep, we’re talking constipation, probiotics and whether Greek yogurt might officially be back on her menu.PLUS, Maria is getting serious about protein again after noticing what it does for her blood sugar, and she shares the protein smoothie that’s been working for her. And finally, we’re solving the “fun crisis” with something ridiculously simple: going for a hike. Maria even dragged herself out for a sunrise hike she almost skipped  and it ended up being one of those “OMG, I’m so happy right now” moments. Can’t wait for you to hear this one friends!

  Sunday Set Up Ep. 55:  Ride the Kiddie Roller Coaster of Life 20.09.2026 34min

  Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we’re getting off the Space Mountain of life and onto the kiddie roller coaster…taking the highs not so high and the lows not so low. Because peace isn’t about avoiding life’s ups and downs. It’s about not letting either one take you for such a wild ride. We talk about letting go of attachment to outcomes without letting go of effort. Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince or princess..and take a lot of swings before finally connecting. The answer isn’t abandoning your work ethic or superpowers. It’s becoming more selective about who gets access to those gifts, while remembering that lofty goals still require hard work and persistence. Keven shares how filmmaking was a lifelong dream he pursued since age 23 yet his best opportunity and best movie came when he finally stopped needing the dream to happen. We also talk about helping elderly parents maintain purpose and stimulation, protecting ourselves from toxic energy, and even how Halloween, fairs and amusement parks have changed since childhood. This week, Kweenz, keep swinging, but loosen your grip on where every swing has to land. Work hard without burning yourself out. Enjoy the highs, endure the lows and stay present for the ride. Sometimes the breakthrough comes when you keep doing the work but stop demanding the outcome. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

  PotLuck Saturday: The Mall Stores You Forgot About 19.09.2026 25min

  Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Organ stores, three-cent book rentals, record-store experts, black lights, and Thomas Jefferson. Apparently, we’re not quite done with the mall. We talk about Wurlitzer organs, Waldenbooks, B. Dalton, Barnes & Noble, and the days when hanging around a bookstore was actually something people did. We talk Sam Goody, Musicland, Strawberries Records & Tapes, Newbury Comics, and the record-store guys who could hear one random lyric, flip through a bin, and know exactly what you were looking for. Plus, RadioShack, Circuit City, Egghead, walkie-talkies, police scanners, and the people who knew how all of it worked. We also talk Natural Wonders, the Discovery Channel Store, Warner Bros. Studio Store, Brookstone, Sharper Image, and Spencer Gifts… complete with the back room, purple lights, lava lamps and T-shirts. And, only on Pot Luck Saturday could Spencer Gifts be discussed in the same breath as John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. It’s a Pot Luck Saturday with mall memories, percussionists, the smell of Wicks ’N’ Sticks, and a few more nostalgic Pot Luck dishes we almost forgot to serve. We’ll Talk Shawty!

  RGF Ep. 291: Bobo Saves Christmas Kicks Off the Boston Film Festival 18.09.2026 41min

  Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week—and the Boston Film Festival! We talk putting one foot in front of the other, trusting the process, and why sometimes you have to keep moving even when the people around you can't see where you're going. Leadership can mean taking the punches, playing the long game, and waiting for everyone else to finally say, “Oh...now I get it.” We talk the Boston Film Festival premiere of Bobo Saves Christmas, seeing Bobo become a movie star on the big screen, and how a chaotic 10-day shoot somehow became a movie with a whole lot of heart. We talk great actors, the people others underestimate, and why bringing different talents together can make everybody better. We talk Emerson master classes, 65 Roses, the legendary Go Away T-shirt, fair-season scams, spending $200 to win three $4 stuffed animals, and the reminder to appreciate the people who show up for you along the way. Put one foot in front of the other, trust the process, and remember why we're here: learn from our mistakes, help each other, and have a few laughs along the way. Happy Friday. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

  1349. Human Design for Beginners: The 5 Energy Types & How to Find Yours w/ Jenna Zoe 17.09.2026 1t 8min

  Hey Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to one of our favorite conversations with Human Design expert Jenna Zoe, and if you’ve ever wondered why something that seems to work for EVERYONE else just doesn’t work for you…this one may explain a lot. Jenna breaks down the five Human Design energy types and why understanding yours can change the way you work, make decisions, use your intuition and even recognize when you’re living out of alignment. Maria also discovers she’s a Manifesting Generator and learns why that may explain her ability to juggle a million different things at once. But the bigger takeaway is something we could probably all use: maybe you don’t need another person telling you the “right” way to live. Jenna explains how Human Design can help us recognize our natural gifts, separate our own inner guidance from outside conditioning, and start working WITH who we are instead of constantly trying to become someone else. If you’ve never explored your Human Design, or you know your type but still have no idea what it actually means, this is a great place to start. Enjoy!

  Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with with the Gene Keys founder Richard Rudd, and this time, things get PERSONAL.Richard takes Maria deeper into her own Gene Keys profile, revealing what it says about her purpose, her relationship with struggle and resilience, and some of the shadows she may be here to work through. And let’s just say, there’s a moment where Maria literally calls the reading a “bullseye.” But before diving into Maria’s profile, Richard gets incredibly vulnerable about his own. He shares how being sent away to boarding school as a young child led him to emotionally shut down and repress years of pain and rage and the pretty wild experience that finally helped him release it. But here’s where it gets fascinating: Richard says hidden underneath that wound of repression was one of his greatest gifts: his intuition and access to a deeper wisdom that would eventually help him create the Gene Keys. And that leads to one of the biggest ideas from today’s conversation: What if the parts of ourselves we’ve spent years fighting are actually hiding something we need? Richard also shares why healing sometimes begins by simply saying YES to ourselves, why our need to control everything may actually be making life harder, and why some of us need to finally give ourselves permission for life to feel a little easier. If you’ve ever wondered why it can be so hard to let go of control or what gift might be hiding underneath your own wounds, there is SO much in this conversation for you. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your Deepest Wound May Be Hiding One of Your Greatest Gifts: Richard shares how his own wound of repression was connected, in his Gene Keys interpretation, to his gift of intuition and higher wisdom.  Sometimes Healing Starts With Saying YES to Yourself: Richard says that when he fully said yes to his own healing, the right people and experiences began appearing to help him face what he couldn’t face alone. His takeaway: we still have to be willing to open the door. Control May Be the Very Thing Keeping Life Hard: Maria’s Gene Keys reading sparks a powerful conversation about trying to control the details, our bodies, other people and everything around us. Richard’s message for Maria is especially powerful: give yourself permission for life to not be so hard. The lesson isn’t always to try harder, sometimes it’s learning to let go.

  1347. Your Biggest Struggles May Be Hiding Your Greatest Gifts: The Gene Keys Explained w/ Richard Rudd 15.09.2026 45min

  Hey, Heal Squad! Today, we’re diving into something Maria discovered recently and became completely fascinated by: The Gene Keys. And if you’ve never heard of them before, don’t worry, we’re starting from the beginning! The Gene Keys founder Richard Rudd joins Maria to explain what they actually are, how this whole system of self-discovery came to him, and why he believes so much of the wisdom we spend our lives searching for outside of ourselves may already be living inside us. And of course, Maria had the same questions you probably do: Is this like astrology? A birth chart? Human Design? Listen to Richard explain how it's different and why the things we struggle with most may actually be hiding some of our greatest gifts. He also gets into how conflict can contain the path to peace and why our trauma and shadow patterns could be connected to our own unique genius. We also get into the art of contemplation and how it can help us stop looking for someone else to tell us who we are and start reconnecting with our own inner wisdom. So if you’ve ever found yourself searching for answers about who you really are, why certain patterns keep showing up in your life, or what you’re supposed to take away from the hard stuff, this conversation may give you a completely different way to look at it all.And let’s just say, this is the PERFECT conversation to kick off everything we’ll be exploring at the upcoming Heal Squad Retreat at Canyon Ranch as we all work on finding our own guide back to ourselves. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your Shadow May Be Hiding Your Greatest Gift: Richard explains that the patterns and struggles we want to escape may actually contain the seeds of our creativity, wisdom and unique gifts. Stop Searching Outside Yourself for the Answer: Gene Keys isn’t about someone else telling you who you are. Richard says the wisdom is already inside your body, and the Gene Keys tools are simply meant to help you access it. There Can Be Something Beautiful on the Other Side of the Hard Stuff: Whether it’s anxiety, overwhelm, relationship struggles or trauma, Richard’s philosophy is that working through the shadow can reveal the lesson or gift on the other side, and that perspective can create hope.

  1346. Can CBG (Not CBD!) Oil Boost Energy & Focus? PLUS Maria’s Sleep & Money-Saving Hacks 14.09.2026 38min

  Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and this week she’s saving us money…givign us the ultimate tip for a nervous system reset…and helping us focus! First up, Maria shares the free app she’s been using to get rid of paper clutter and organize everything from contracts to old family photos. Then we get into something new she’s been experimenting with: CBG oil. Maria explains why she switched from taking it at night to the morning, what the early research says, and why she’s been noticing a major difference in her energy, focus and productivity.And because apparently feet are officially becoming a recurring character on this show (LOL!), Maria has another foot-health find: the ridiculously comfortable wide-toe socks she says finally give her toes room to breathe instead of squeezing them together. But one of her favorite discoveries this week: going outside as the sun goes down and sitting by the fire! Maria shares how two nights around the fire pit unexpectedly helped reset her sleep! Then, grab your phone because we’re doing a little financial cleanup. Maria walks us through the subscription check that puts back cash in her pocket. And somehow all of this leads to the bigger lesson Maria has been sitting with this week: What are we still carrying that we don’t need anymore? Not just papers, subscriptions or things cluttering our homes, but guilt, shame, self-criticism and the belief that we have to earn our healing. What happens if we just allow it. Maria shares the Louise Hay message that stopped her in her tracks and asks a question we may all need this week: What if instead of doing more, there’s something we finally need to put down?

  Sunday Set Up Ep. 54: The Power of Saying No 13.09.2026 25min

  Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk about one of the hardest words for so many of us to say: no. Not “no, because…” Not “no, but maybe…” Just no.We talk about why we feel the need to explain ourselves, especially when we’re used to giving so much of our time and energy to other people. And how the moment we start offering reasons for our decision, we may be handing someone else the opportunity to question those reasons, challenge them, and suddenly turn our boundary into a negotiation. We also talk the power of silence, why it can make us so uncomfortable that we start talking just to fill the space, and how learning to sit with that discomfort can help us stop giving our power away. Because we’re allowed to need time for ourselves. We’re allowed to rest. And we’re allowed to say no without convincing anyone else that our reason is good enough. This week, ask yourself: Where am I overexplaining my boundaries? Whose approval am I looking for when I say no? And what would happen if I simply said no — and let that be enough? Have a great week, Heal Squad. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

  PotLuck Saturday: Whatever Happened to the Mall 12.09.2026 41min

  Happy Pot Luck Saturday! The Limited, Chess King, Buster Brown, Major Mudd, and a thousand Hickory Farms stores. Yes, we’re going back to the mall. We talk Merry-Go-Round, Casual Corner, Contempo Casuals, Wet Seal, Kinney Shoes and Thom Mcan. There’s Forenza, piano ties, wild patterns, leather jackets, Miami Vice looks, and enough questionable fashion choices to last well beyond the ’80s. We also talk waiting all day for a local TV legend who never showed up, Rex Trailer, Brady Bunch perms, and the stores that disappeared because they couldn't keep up with changing tastes and the changing mall. We talk about summer sausage, Easter baskets wrapped in cellophane, overpriced pears, edible arrangements, the possibility of a muffin basket, and whether a gift basket is actually better to look at than open. It’s a Pot Luck Saturday with mall memories, big hair, old-school fashion, gift baskets, spicy mustard, and one ice cream cone at the end of a very long Sunday shopping trip. We’ll talk Shawtly!

  RGF Ep. 290:  Rage is purifying 11.09.2026 41min

  Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week! We talk about one of the simplest lessons that isn’t always so simple: just show up. When someone you love is sick, struggling, or needs you, you don't need to have all the answers, just be there,  ask questions, make mistakes, and figure it out. We talk about why rage can be purifying and why maybe anger isn't always something to suppress. Rage can burn through fear, guilt, and helplessness and become the fire alarm telling you something needs to change. The trick is hearing what it's trying to tell you without burning down the building. Although apparently, for $32.99, you can just go somewhere and legally smash all kinds of stuff. We talk Micky Dolenz and The Monkees, rage rooms, martyrs getting nailed to crosses, Home Depot Halloween displays, spray-painting window panes, and Kev's latest billion-dollar idea: one lawn decoration that somehow becomes Santa, the Easter Bunny, a leprechaun, and a Halloween skeleton at the push of a button. Show up for the people who matter, listen to what your emotions are trying to tell you, and remember why we're here: help each other, learn from our mistakes, and have a few laughs along the way.

  1345. What No One Tells You About Perimenopause: Sleep, Brain Fog, Weight + Hormones w/ Tamsen Fadal 10.09.2026 40min

  Hey Heal Squad! Today for our throwback episode, we’re throwing it back to one of our must-listen conversations with Emmy-winning journalist and How to Menopause author Tamsen Fadal. If you’re in your late 30s, 40s or beyond, you may hear your own symptoms very differently after this episode. Could the brain fog, sleep problems, bloating, irregular periods, anxiety, libido changes or unexplained changes in your body actually be signs of perimenopause? Tamsen breaks down the symptoms women often miss (or simply blame on stress!)and explains why perimenopause can begin years before your period actually stops. Plus, Maria goes through Tamsen’s symptom checklist herself and discovers she has A LOT more signs than she realized! We also get into hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, why strength training becomes so important, the role of sleep and nutrition, how alcohol can affect symptoms, and the lifestyle changes Tamsen wishes she had started sooner. If you've ever thought, “Why don't I feel like myself anymore?” this conversation may help you start connecting the dots. Enjoy, Heal Squad!

  1344. Peptides, NAD+ & Claritin-Pepcid Trend: What's Really Helping (or Hurting) Your Cells w/ Dr. Will Cole 09.09.2026 33min

  Hey Heal Squad! We're continuing the conversation with Dr. Will Cole, and today gets into the stuff everyone's actually asking about right now: peptides, NAD+, GLP-1's…. even the social trends flooding your For You Page. (Hint hint: Claritin and Pepcid AC.) First, Dr. Cole gives it to you straight…. where peptides, like the most common one, BPC-157, genuinely help, and why he's concerned about what he's calling "Ozempic zombies." Then we get into NAD+ and the real science behind your cells' "guardian angels." Then, what's actually going on with the viral Claritin-and-Pepcid-AC trend (spoiler: it's not a hack, it's a symptom), and the fast-rising, tick-bite-triggered meat allergy also called…alpha-gal syndrome… that's already affecting entire communities.This is the practical, "should I actually try this" half of the conversation: myth-busting, dosage sanity checks, and Dr. Cole's root-cause philosophy applied to the trendiest topics in wellness right now. You'll want to hear this before you pick up your next supplement. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS The United States doesn't have a peptide deficiency ….our bodies already make all of these things naturally: This is Dr. Cole's reality check on the entire peptide boom: you're not missing something your body can't produce on its own,  the system's already built in. It reframes peptides from "a thing you're deficient in and need to buy" to "a tool that can support what your body is already trying to do," which is exactly the nuance most peptide marketing skips. NAD is one of the things your cells need to repair that scratched CD… so your cell can read who it was again: Dr. Cole's analogy for how NAD+ actually works: think of your cells like a scratched record. The information is still there, it's just not playing right. NAD+ helps your cells' own "repair crew" (the Sirtuans) buff that scratch out, so the cell remembers what it's supposed to be doing. Histamine intolerance can cause brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, even digestive problems. But it's not a pharmaceutical deficiency:  This is Dr. Cole confirming the viral Claritin + Pepcid AC trend isn't nonsense. The symptoms it's targeting are real. But he's clear that popping two antihistamines is treating the smoke alarm, not the fire. If you've seen this trend, this is the context that was missing.

  1343. Light, Food & EMFs: The 3 Things Secretly Aging Your Cells + How to Heal Them w/ Dr. Will Cole 08.09.2026 39min

  Hey Heal Squad! We’re so excited to have Dr. Will Cole back on Heal Squad for a conversation that is timely and honestly needs to be had. Dr. Cole is a leading functional medicine expert and New York Times bestselling author, and he has a brand-new book out called Heal Your Cells, co-authored with Dr. Josh Axe. In the book, they make the case that nearly every "mystery illness," autoimmune flare-up, and stalled healing journey traces back to one thing: your cells losing recognition of themselves. In this episode, we get into exactly what that means and the real science behind cellular aging. We even get into how something as everyday (and unsexy) as EMF exposure may be aging your cells and your organs, faster than any generation before us. Dr. Cole also breaks down a fascinating research study on why millennials and Gen Z are showing up with the cellular age of people decades older, why "forest bathing" is backed by real immune and nervous-system research, and how your cells need to sync with light, circadian rhythm, and your body's internal clock to function the way they're meant to. Plus how so much of chronic illness traces back to cells that have simply lost their rhythm. If anything, this episode will light a fire under you to get things back on track and start healing your cells for the long haul. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS One in five Americans had at least one organ aging more rapidly than another organ: This is the Stanford study Dr. Cole references, and it's the whole reason "how old do you feel" isn't a good enough question anymore. Your body can age unevenly, organ by organ,  which means the real risk isn't your age on paper, it's whether any one system is quietly aging faster than the rest of you. People in their twenties and thirties have cells of people in their sixties: This is the stat that should stop you mid-scroll. It's not that younger generations are unlucky,  it's that light exposure, food, stress, and EMFs have changed so much faster than our biology has, and our cells are paying the price for that mismatch decades early. Light is information to these cellular clocks and that's what determines how quickly or how slowly you're aging: This is the piece most people skip past: your cells have their own internal clocks, separate from your brain's, and they take their cues from light. Get that light exposure wrong (scrolling before sunrise, no real daylight, blue light at night)  and you're not just messing with your sleep, you're mistiming every cell in your body.

  1342. Small Swaps Making a BIG Difference: Toe Spacers, EMF Blocking Headphones, Switching to 100% Cotton 07.09.2026 31min

  Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and after talking about the power of paying attention, this week she's noticing the little things….like the things we wear, the habits we don't think twice about, and even the tiny details around our homes that could make a BIG difference. First up: Maria found a new pair of wired headphones she's loving and breaks down what makes them different. Then we have the inexpensive find of the week: HANES cotton bralettes! They're simple, comfortable, under $14 for a three-pack, and Maria is basically living in them. But here's where things get really interesting…Maria is training her feet. After noticing pain and changes around her toes, she's been experimenting with toe-spacing socks, paying attention to wider toe boxes, and completely rethinking some of the shoes she's worn for years. Could the shoes we've been squeezing our feet into all these years be affecting more than just our feet? Maria shares what she's noticed so far  and stay tuned because we have a foot health expert coming on soon! If you have foot questions, SEND THEM IN so we can ask her! Then, a question for all the parents: Should we bring back the landline?! Maria shares the realization that made her consider putting a simple phone with big buttons in her house so Athena would know exactly what to do in an emergency. And finally, a little inspiration to carry with you this week from Mary Oliver: “Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” Because life isn't only made up of monumental breakthroughs. Sometimes it's noticing the tiny things that can make an ordinary Monday feel extraordinary. Enjoy, Heal Squad!
