1126. Why You Still Don’t Feel Like Yourself: Soul Sickness Is the Answer w/ Dr. Zach Bush

Hey Heal Squad! In today’s episode, Maria is sharing some of the biggest mindset shifts, life lessons, and self-love practices that have changed her life.  We talk about what it really means to love yourself through action, from simplifying your schedule to decluttering your space and honoring your capacity. From why saying “no” is an act of self-respect, how I’ve learned to make loving choices (eveI share n when they’re hard), to what her nighttime self-check-in ritual looks like. PLUS, Maria opens up about one of her favorite new health hacks and why it's become her go-to for immune support and energy. We also dive into relationships, boundaries, and why so many of us settle,  not because we want to, but because we’re afraid to be alone. And if you’ve ever needed a reminder that life is happening for you, not to you, this episode will bring it home in a big way. Let’s keep doing the work, keep getting better, and keep remembering we’re in this together.  -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with triple board-certified physician and thought leader Dr. Zach Bush, and this one dives even deeper into what it really takes to heal. Dr. Bush shares the emotional and biological impact of disconnection, from our bodies, our purpose, and the natural world. He explains why so many of us feel numb, inflamed, or stuck in survival mode. We explore how today’s chronic symptoms aren't just physical issues, but signs of soul sickness: a profound disconnection from our bodies, our purpose, and the living world around us. He reveals how modern environments suppress our nervous systems and steal our vitality, and why true healing begins with restoring inner stillness and reconnecting to nature. Zach also opens up about the “I Am” frequency, indigenous wisdom, and how suffering can actually be the portal to remembering who we really are.If you’re feeling off and nothing seems to be working, this conversation might just be the medicine you need. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Disconnection rewires your biology. From gut inflammation to emotional numbness, Dr. Zach reveals how disconnection from nature, community, and self fuels disease… and how restoring connection brings the body back online. The nervous system won’t heal in survival mode. Burnout, fatigue, and chronic illness thrive in a culture of overstimulation and overperformance. Zach shares why stillness, biodiversity, and the power of presence are the medicine our bodies are wired for. You are not broken, you’ve just forgotten who you are. Through suffering, we’re given the chance to return to the “I Am.” Dr. Zach explains how embracing pain (instead of escaping it) becomes the portal to healing, purpose, and reconnection. -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Website: https://zachbushmd.com/  ION Support: http://www.ionbiome.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.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week we’re joined by one of the most powerful voices in integrative medicine: Dr. Zach Bush, a triple board-certified physician and internationally recognized educator on the microbiome, environmental health, and root-cause healing. In Part 1 of this mind-expanding conversation, Dr. Bush explains why our environment (not just our genetics) is the true driver of chronic disease. He breaks down how our disconnection from soil, community, and inner consciousness is weakening our immunity, gut function, and emotional health. From soil depletion to childhood trauma, he reveals how our fractured relationship with nature, each other, and ourselves has created a deep soul-sickness that’s manifesting as disease. PLUS, Dr. Bush shares what soil health teaches us about healing, how to reawaken your innate intelligence, and why self-love is more powerful than any prescription. This isn’t just about symptoms, it’s about remembering who you are. Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Disconnection causes disease: True healing starts when we reconnect to nature, the microbiome, and our own inner voice, not just when we treat symptoms. The environment mirrors your health: The toxins in our soil, air, and water are disrupting our gut, brain, and immune systems, but regeneration is possible when we change how we live and grow. Consciousness is medicine: Awareness, presence, and community are powerful healing tools, especially in a world that thrives on distraction and disconnection. -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Website: https://zachbushmd.com/  ION Support: http://www.ionbiome.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.

Have you ever looked at your lab results and thought… wait, what does that even mean? Well, you’re in luck because in today’s episode, we’re diving into some major truths about cholesterol, blood pressure, and why your lab results might not be telling you the full story. Maria and Dr. Allison are back (outside, of course!), and breaking down what your body is really trying to say through those “off” numbers, and why the default answer doesn’t always need to be a statin. We talk about how sunlight, circadian rhythm, and even your lighting at work can drastically affect your health, your hormones, your cholesterol levels, and your entire nervous system. This conversation is about learning to read your body’s signals differently and realizing that your environment might be the thing holding your healing back. We share simple, powerful ways to shift that, without needing to overhaul your life. Let’s clear the noise, tune in to the body, and take our power back… one sunrise at a time!  -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist HEADLINES & RESOURCES: https://x.com/valerieanne1970/status/1937042212472193461?s=48&t=X9m9bZdA4Wv4EPEUZZKZrg  https://www.instagram.com/p/DL4r12EsNIO/?hl=en  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.

Happy Friday, Heal Squad! Kev and Anne are joining us from Georgia this time! They are deep in the chaos of film production, fast food regret, and full-on donut discourse. From deep-fried nostalgia to fast-food letdowns, we explore how food, fatigue, and overstimulation mess with your energy (and your gut). We break down what it’s like working with actual vampires on set, and how to protect your peace when you’re surrounded by chaos, square burgers, and frosties that don’t frost. PLUS, why burnout doesn’t always look like collapse, sometimes it’s just trying to hold a scene together while covered in powdered sugar. This episode is about staying well in real life. No guru hacks, just two regular people trying to manage deadlines, energy suckers, and the occasional Danish. RGF Bonus: Hostess crimes, production confessions, working for free (on purpose), and a sneak peek at the Donut Podcast (you heard it here first). Happy Friday. Protect your peace.

Hey Heal Squad! We often talk about gut health, inflammation, and brain fog, but what if it all starts in your mouth? In Part 2 of our conversation with world-renowned dentist and oral wellness expert Dr. Jonathan Levine, they dive deep into how oral health isn’t just about cavities and cleanings, but a direct reflection of your whole-body health.

What if we told you your mouth might be the secret key to protecting your brain, your heart… and even your long-term health? This week, we’re joined by world-renowned dentist and wellness expert Dr. Jonathan Levine to talk about the connection between oral health and whole-body healing. He breaks down how your gums can warn you about inflammation, why bleeding when brushing isn’t normal (even though most people think it is!), and how dental hygiene plays a bigger role in disease prevention than you’ve ever been told. PLUS, Dr. Levine walks us through his 4-minute protocol to reset your oral health, simple, doable, and science-backed. You’ll walk away empowered with tools to take charge of your health… starting with your smile. Tune in, squad!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Bleeding gums aren’t normal: They’re an early sign of inflammation and can be a warning flag for more serious issues in the body like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s. Don’t ignore it—treat the gums, support the body. Oral health impacts systemic health: Your mouth is the gateway to your entire body. Bacteria in the mouth can trigger inflammation that spreads to the brain, heart, and gut. Healing starts with hygiene. Try the 4-minute oral reset: Dr. Levine recommends a simple 4-minute daily routine (electric brushing, flossing, tongue scraping, and using a mouth rinse) to reduce inflammation and protect your whole-body health. -- 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 My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjonlevine/?hl=en Website: https://www.drjonathanlevine.com/  Smile House: https://www.instagram.com/smilehousetribeca/  JBL: https://www.instagram.com/jblnewyorkcity/  If you're in NYC, Dr. Levine is offering one complimentary whitening treatment when you book a Mouth Mapping appointment at Smile House or JBL NYC.

Happy Monday, Heal Squad! On today’s Chatshow, Maria is joined by her naturopathic doctor, Dr. Allison Monette, for a deep dive into the hidden health risks lurking in our “wellness” routines. They explore the rise of AI in medicine and mental health, and why even well-meaning tech like ChatGPT could leave patients more confused than empowered. Are wearable devices like Apple Watches helping us heal, or silently disrupting our hormones and energy through EMFs? The answer might surprise you.

With more tools, apps, and protocols than ever, how do we stay grounded, ask better questions, and take back control of our health?
