Hey Regular Guys and Gals, Kev and Kelse are back for this edition of RGF. The role of routine in self discipline and peace.

Hey, Heal Squad! Kels & Nat are back together (!!) and diving into a convo we all need—why is it so easy to hype up others, but so hard to bet on ourselves? 🤯We’re also unpacking the fear of launching something new, why we outsource validation instead of trusting ourselves, how to break through perfectionism & JUST START, and the magic of surrounding yourself with people who lift you up. Oh, and we also cover Maui trips, dream birthdays, and some seriously cosmic timing with a Kelly Clarkson cover. 😂 It’s deep, it’s fun, and it might just be the push you need to finally go all in on YOU.

Hey, Regular Friends! If you're feeling lonely this Friday, welcome to the club. It's another edition of Lonely Guy Friday. This week, we’re diving into the unexpected wisdom of Sixto Rodriguez from Searching for Sugarman—how his lyrics AND life story can teach us more than we realize. Kev unpacks his experiences with ketamine and psilocybin therapy—why some people turn to them for healing, how they compare, and what surprising revelations they brought (including a bizarre visit from Charles Manson?!). How some people substitute mushrooms for a self-guided healing journey and how they do it effectively. How animals send us messages. How there may be a fine line between Serial Killer and Superstar - Despot and Deity. May the learning and healing continue. Talk shawtly.

Heal In 10: How to Use Anger to HEAL Instead of HARM w/ Dr. Gabor Maté

Anger isn’t the problem—how you handle it is. In today’s Heal In 10, we’re bringing back a powerful segment of our episode with Dr. Gabor Maté. He breaks down why repressing anger is one of the biggest threats to your health, and explains how unprocessed emotions can contribute to autoimmune diseases, gut disorders, and even depression (PLUS, why learning to express anger properly is key to healing). Dr. Maté shares the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger, why boundaries are built into us from birth, and how turning against your emotions can turn your body against itself. If you’ve ever been told to “just let it go” but felt like ignoring your feelings made things worse, this clip is a must-listen. Listen to the Full Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/605-how-your-emotions-can-literally-make-you-sick-w/id1320060107?i=1000598437358 HEALERS AND HEAL-LINERS: Repressed anger doesn’t disappear—it turns against you: Suppressing emotions for too long can manifest as autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and gut issues. Healthy anger is a boundary, not an outburst: Expressing anger in the moment—without rage or repression—prevents resentment and emotional buildup. Depression is often suppressed anger: Pushing down anger instead of acknowledging it can lead to emotional numbness, exhaustion, and long-term mental health struggles. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront AquaTru: https://aquatruwater.com/ code: HEALSQUAD AirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com/ code: HEALSQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Sleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.com/ DR GABOR MATÉ RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabormatemd/ Website: https://drgabormate.com/ 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.

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 209: Rabbi Shais Taub's Guilt-Indulgence Cycle

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How Cher at 80 defies age in the greatest way ever. How 'emotional coding' can lead to spiritual cleansing. How your therapist, coach and advisor may not be for you, the one in need – and vice versa! How guilt perpetuates indulgence in self-destructive behaviors, how destructive behaviors lead to more guilt which lead to more destructive behaviors. How guilt can be healthy while shame is always toxic and why. How it may take doing just this one thing to attain both the healing and life success you have always desired. RGF BONUS: How the doc searching for Sugarman and the story of Sixto Rogriguez remains one of the most beautiful and inspiring stories.

Hey, Heal Squad! This Throwback Thursday, we’re diving deep into your relationship with money, because the truth is… your mindset around money could be holding you back more than your actual finances. 💰 We’re bringing back an incredible conversation with Judy Wilkins-Smith, best-selling author and expert in multi-generational patterns and financial transformation. She’s here to help us break free from scarcity thinking, rewrite limiting beliefs, and develop a healthier, wealthier mindset.

PLUS, she shares exactly how to stop living in fear, start making empowered financial decisions, and finally attract the abundance you deserve.

1025. The Dangers of Ozempic: Avery’s Story & How She Fought For Her Life

TRIGGER WARNING: Today’s discussion touches on body image, eating disorders, and struggles with addiction. Please take care while listening. Hey, Heal Squad. This might be one of the most raw and emotional conversations we’ve ever had on addiction. Today, Maria sits down with singer-songwriter Avery, whose viral video exposed the hidden dangers of Ozempic. Avery opens up about her heartbreaking journey in the entertainment industry, from being a young artist full of dreams to facing relentless pressure to change her body—including being told by a powerful record producer that she needed surgery to succeed, only to be abandoned afterward. That moment sent her spiraling down the dark path of depression, an eating disorder, and an addiction to Ozempic, resulting in a life-threatening battle with osteoporosis.

Lonely Guy Friday Ep. 207: The Codependent's Anonymous

It's another edition of Lonely Guy Friday, all you RGF fans. Why you should revisit Christopher Reeves' Superman, why we’ve seen enough of Batman and Joker, and why it's time for a new Superman. How the cold plunge is healthy but expensive and painful, and how to cold plunge at home in a far less painful way. How a 10 dollar hot water bottle at CVS or any pharmacy can soothe anxiety or a broken heart. How that same 10 dollar hot water bottle and some castor oil could ease your gut issues. How daily morning mass or service could be the thing to get your days and schedule on track. What empty nesters can do to heal and ascend. How your codependence is keeping you in prison and the irony of how the narcissist in you can free your codependent self (but also land you right back while adding time to your sentence). The tie between codependency and addiction. How trauma makes the artist, but also destroys them (as we see in Hollywood all the time). How Joan Rivers visited Kev in a dream, what she said and how I interpreted it - and so can you for your dreams.

1023. The 6 Pillars of Wealth That Actually Make You Rich with Patrice Washington

Hey, Heal Squad! On this Throwback Thursday, we’re continuing the theme of building a wealthy life for yourself (and not just financially🤭) and bringing back America’s Money Maven, Patrice Washington. If you think wealth is just about money, think again! Patrice is breaking down the 6 Pillars of Wealth and sharing how redefining success transformed her life after losing everything. She gets real about hitting rock bottom, rebuilding after financial devastation, and why chasing money alone won’t lead to real fulfillment. Patrice also shares powerful mindset shifts that can help you create long-term financial security, career success, and personal well-being—all while staying true to yourself. If you’re ready to build a life that feels rich, not just looks rich, tune in!! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: Wealth isn’t just about money. It’s about your overall well-being. The original definition of wealth was the “condition of well-being,” and financial success is just one part of the equation. Success means nothing if you don’t have peace. Patrice opens up about how paying for peace is one of the best investments you can make in life and business. You don’t have to be perfect to share your knowledge. If you’re a 7/10 at something, you can still teach the 1s through 6s—your experiences have value, even when you’re still learning. -- 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/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront AquaTru: https://aquatruwater.com/ code: HEALSQUAD AirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com/ code: HEALSQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Sleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.com/ PATRICE WASHINGTON’S RESOURCES Instagram https://www.instagram.com/seekwisdompcw/?hl=en Website https://patricewashington.com/ Book https://patricewashington.com/books/ 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.

1019. Science-Backed Hacks to Keep Your Glucose Levels In Check with Glucose Goddess, Jessie Inchauspé

Hey, Heal Squad! On this Throwback Thursday, we’re continuing the theme of healthy relationships with food! We are bringing back a conversation with the one and only, Jesse Inchauspé, aka the Glucose Goddess. If you don’t remember her from before, she is a French biochemist and best-selling author who is on a mission to help people balance their blood sugar without cutting out the foods they love. Jesse breaks down how blood sugar spikes affect your cravings, energy levels, and long-term health. PLUS, science-backed hacks to keep them steady. She shares why you don’t need to quit carbs or sugar completely to feel amazing—you just need to eat them in the right order! From the power of starting your day with a savory breakfast to the one easy trick that will change the way you eat dessert, Jesse makes blood sugar balance accessible for everyone. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Blood sugar crashes aren’t just about food. They can impact your mood, anxiety, and even your sleep quality. Small tweaks, big results. Adding fiber, vinegar, or movement before meals can drastically change how your body processes sugar. Eat the right way, not the “perfect” way. You don’t have to cut out your favorite foods—just learn how to enjoy them smarter!

1014. What’s Hiding in Our Sushi & How to Meal Prep Like A Pro with Christina Gomes

Sushi lovers, listen up! Because you’re going to want to hear this! In part 2 of our chat with wellness and nutrition expert, Christina Gomes, we are uncovering the shocking secrets hiding beneath the scales of the #1 Japanese dish. Christina also gives us her proven grocery list that will help keep cortisol levels down, regulate your metabolism, and help you feel amazing! She’s also sharing her genius, time-saving meal prep hacks- how to super fast and the nutritious method to making smoothies in the morning. She has us snacking like a nutritional expert! Did you know you should snack before bed to have the best sleep ever? Yup, this episode is full of useful and practical tips to help you level up your health journey. Don’t get too hungry, but enjoy this one Squad! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: Most fish, like sushi, carry parasites, because of the way that the US mass produces food, but you can make your gut more stronger, acidic and resilient to parasites with proper eating by eating things like garlic, pumpkin seeds and papaya seeds. When it comes to meal prepping, plan for success: Frozen is just as good as fresh. It traps all the nutrients and stops the micronutrients from depleting as the veggies decay. Two things you need to do for your nutrition: Have a small snack that is rich in carbohydrates and protein first thing in the morning and right before bed. This will help lower your cortisol first thing in the morning before caffeine intake, and help you produce more melatonin at night to sleep better.

1013. Mastering Women’s Health: Hormones, Guts & Smarter Workouts with Wellness Expert Christina Gomes

Hello Heal Squad! If you haven’t started crushing your 2025 goals, this episode will fire you up to make this your healthiest year yet. Today, Maria’s trainer, Christina Gomes, joins the squad to share game-changing insights on balancing nutrition and training during perimenopause, menopause, and even when it’s that time of the month. She’s unveiling the ultimate health plan to lower cortisol, balance hormones, and manage weight without over doing it. You’ll learn how to ditch the high-intensity workouts that might be doing more harm than good, and which exercises are highly effective for the always fluctuating women’s body. Plus, we’re diving deep into gut health essentials—like the must-have foods to fuel your body and improve nutrient absorption. If you’ve been craving a reset or feeling out of sync with your body, this episode is your sign to take charge and thrive in 2025. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: Higher intensity exercises are doing you more harm than good. Yes, you can lose weight with HIIT, but it will cause more stress on your body, which impacts your overall metabolism. Women specifically suffer more from elevated cortisol levels, especially as they age, because their ability to resist cortisol and deal with stress is going to decline as our estrogen and progesterone decline. If you do have lower estrogen levels, there are certain foods that you can eat that can actually help us continue to produce a little bit more estrogen.

1012. LA County Fire Victims Share Stories of Loss, Hope & the Best Ways to Support Them Right Now

Hello, Heal Squad. Today’s episode will be one that holds a very special place in our hearts for years of podcasts to come ❤️Today, Maria brings together a group of LA Fire victims to share their personal stories of survival and recovery. We hear from men and women that were affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires, recounting their experiences of evacuating their homes—some not even knowing if their homes would survive. They also open up about their needs right now (they’re not what you think!), and the many challenges they have faced, like navigating insurances, finding temporary housing, and coping with anxiety, fear, and remorse. They also tell us the best ways we can support them and their fellow survivors (Check the resources below). We hope this episode humbles and inspires you to take action and do some good in your own community. This is a conversation we’ll always remember and we hope you love it as much as we do.
