Potluck Saturday: Childhood Valentines vs. Real Life (Saturday Set Up)
Happy Potluck Saturday (and Valentine’s Day!) Heal Squad. Surprise!! Today we’re popping Super Bowl halftime fantasies, Valentine’s Day history, and of course a little candy time. We talk trolling for fun (not harm), why lightness is sometimes the smartest response to a loud world, and how a halftime show is really just a business play anyway… so you might as well add buttered popcorn dancers and commit to the insanity. We talk how Valentine’s Day went from Roman ritual to Hallmark pressure cooker, and why doing kind things daily beats one performative day every February. Nostalgia marketing, candy loyalties, cupid skepticism, doilies that won’t die, and the lasting trauma of elementary-school Valentines. Whatever you’re doing (buying discount candy, dodging expectations, or auditioning as a dancing snack) remember to keep your perspective and follow the fun. Talk shawtly!

RGF Ep. 260: Follow the Fun

RGF Ep. 260: Follow the Fun
Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week we talk why Hollywood (and the old “who cares?” celebrity machine) feels like it’s running out of gas… and why the people who win now are the ones building their own ark before the flood hits. How a Super Bowl ad or halftime show turns into everyone’s hot take… and how to keep your head, enjoy the show, and still have standards (especially when it’s a family event). Why being “on the scene” isn’t about being impressed, it’s about noticing what’s shifting, what’s manufactured, and what still matters. We talk nostalgia as strategy: how old brands already did the hard work, why rebooting them is genius, and how one missing shoutout to the Certs community turned into a full-blown apology tour, atonement arc, and a surprise comeback story. We talk “fight-or-flight,” how animals (and humans) act differently when they’re not stressed, why constant stress breaks your body over time, and why peace and joy might be the real “protocol.” Conspiracies, compassion, and the danger of letting noise hijack your nervous system. PLUS, we land on the only rule that keeps the whole thing moving: follow the fun… and if you can’t, you’re no fun. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

1228. Ready for Healthier Love? w/ Human Connection Specialist Mark Groves
Hey Heal Squad! Because Valentine’s Day is this week, we’re throwing it back to a powerful conversation all about relationships, codependency, and the patterns we don’t even realize we’re repeating. Kev and Kelsey sit down with human connection specialist Mark Groves to unpack why we’re drawn to certain relationship dynamics, what people-pleasing is really costing us, and how something he calls a “sacred pause” might be the exact reset we didn’t know we needed. From attachment styles to boundaries, grief, anger, and learning to actually choose yourself… this one goes deep in the best way. If relationships have ever left you confused, stuck, or wondering why this keeps happening… this throwback is full of those big aha moments Heal Squad loves. Enjoy!

1227. 10 Reasons Your Body Is Inflamed and How to Fix It w/ Dr. Josh Redd
FEB 10, 2026
1227. 10 Reasons Your Body Is Inflamed and How to Fix It w/ Dr. Josh Redd
Hey Heal Squad! Ok, we think this episode will blow your mind!  If you’ve ever felt tired, puffy, brain foggy or all of the above…basically INFLAMMED…this conversation with Dr. Josh Redd is a total answer to all those questions. Dr. Redd, author of The 30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Reset and a leader in functional and personalized medicine, explains to Maria how tiny, chronic inflammatory responses in the body are quietly driving these fatigue-ish flare-ups. The big aha? Inflammation isn’t random! It’s often your immune system reacting to everyday triggers. The good news: you can calm it. Dr. Redd breaks down how stress, blood sugar, movement, and food can either fuel inflammation or help heal it. For instance, Maria’s jaw literally dropped when Dr. Redd explained how coffee could be contributing to her puffiness! You’ll also learn why sunlight is a powerful anti-inflammatory tool, which key lab tests can reveal hidden inflammation, and the top two foods most commonly linked to flare-ups. If you’ve tried everything and still can’t figure out why your body feels off, this episode could be the answer you’ve been waiting for. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Inflammation isn’t just swelling, it’s your immune system stuck on high alert: Chronic inflammation can quietly drive fatigue, brain fog, puffiness, hormone issues, and autoimmune flare-ups long before you feel “sick.” Your environment may be as inflammatory as your diet: Sunlight, stress, air quality, water, and even simple habits (like wearing shoes indoors) can either inflame your body or help it heal. Stabilizing blood sugar & removing top trigger foods can change everything:  Keeping glucose steady,  and addressing gluten and dairy,  can dramatically reduce inflammation, improve energy, and calm autoimmune activity.

Hey Heal Squad! It’s time for another What Worked This Week… and this one starts with the little things making Maria’s life way easier right now. Think genius travel hacks (carry-on only?!), the cutest pajamas ever, and tiny systems that are actually helping her feel more organized and calm. But then… the conversation takes a turn. Into people-pleasing, the labels we carry that were never really ours, and the wild realization that you might be the “villain” in someone else’s story… and that’s okay. Yep, we’re going there today… It’s honest, it’s real, it’s funny, a little deep… and we think you’re really going to love this one.
