Hey Heal Squad! After Jennie Garth opened up to us about having hip replacements, we knew we had to bring back this conversation with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe, especially after seeing what happened with surfing legend Kelly Slater! Let’s just say he was back in the water, surfing those waves, just nine months after undergoing a robotic-assisted hip replacement performed by Dr. Snibbe. So what does that tell us about how far joint replacement has actually come? Listen and learn what Dr. Snibbe has to say in this throwback episode! Dr. Snibbe breaks down how robots are changing orthopedic surgery, whether they actually make procedures more precise, and what you should know before ever considering a joint replacement. But more importantly: can you prevent yourself from needing one in the first place? He reveals the everyday exercises that could be aging your joints, the movement he considers non-negotiable for longevity, and the prevention strategies and regenerative therapies that may help protect your hips and knees for years to come. So if  you’re dealing with joint pain now or simply want to stay strong, consider this your crash course in becoming the CEO of your joint health. Enjoy!

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with Jennie Garth, and we’re picking up right where we left off…with the health secret she kept for years: her hip replacements. Jennie gets real about why she was embarrassed to tell anyone, what finally made her stop hiding, and we also get into the deeper work behind her memoir, I Choose Me, including why Jennie spent so much of her life dimming her own light to make other people feel bigger. She shares the simple words from a therapist that completely shifted the way she saw herself, why learning to actually love herself became essential to her mental health, and the tools she still reaches for when she starts feeling disconnected from herself (think mirror work, journaling, “joy boards,”and vision boards). Plus! Jennie reveals a surprising new health diagnosis she just discovered, gets candid about menopause and the HRT “trifecta” that’s working for her, and tells us why saying NO has become one of her biggest forms of self-care. And wait until you hear what she says about Dancing with the Stars…would she EVER do it again?!We also talk about the next evolution of I Choose Me, from building Me by Jennie Garth alongside her daughter to expanding into the home, and why everything Jennie says yes to these days has to have one thing in common: purpose.So many laughs, so many takeaways, and so many reminders that choosing yourself isn’t selfish…it might just be the thing that brings you back to YOU. Enjoy, Heal Squad! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Stop Dimming Your Light to Make Other People Feel Bigger: Jennie spent years making herself smaller and eventually realized she was allowed to be proud of who she was. A therapist telling her “it’s okay to be amazing” helped change the way she viewed self-love, not as selfish or egotistical, but as essential to her mental health. Knowing What Makes You Happy Isn't Enough, You Have to Take Action: Jennie uses journaling, mirror work, a “joy board” filled with simple things that make her happy, and vision boards to reconnect with herself. Her biggest lesson: you can think about changing forever, but eventually you have to actually do something, and then stay persistent and consistent. Every “No” Makes the Next One Easier: Jennie is much more selective about the work she accepts now, choosing projects based on whether they feel meaningful enough to take her away from her family, home and life. Saying no still scares her, but every time she does it and realizes the world keeps turning, the boundary gets easier.

Hey Heal Squad! What better way to celebrate the back-to-school season than with one of TV’s most iconic high schoolers: the one and only Jennie Garth, aka Kelly Taylor from Beverly Hills, 90210. Since leaving West Beverly, Jennie has built an incredible life and career…. starring in What I Like About You, competing on Dancing with the Stars, raising three daughters, writing her memoir I Choose Me, and creating a whole new chapter around what it really means to choose yourself. Today, Jennie opens up to Maria about the rock-bottom period after her divorce and the biggest mistake she says she made: isolating herself instead of letting people support her. She shares what actually helped her climb out, like  friendship, nature, therapy, creativity, and becoming determined to feel joy again. They also look back at the 90210 years, what it was like to spend her entire young adulthood on set, why leaving the show felt like a grief process, and how the cast eventually found their way back to one another later in life. Plus, Jennie gets candid about her health journey… from a shocking jet ski accident with Luke Perry to severe memory issues that led her to Dr. Amen and a brain scan. This one is part nostalgia, part healing, and a powerful reminder that sometimes choosing yourself starts with simply deciding you want to feel better, and staying persistent until you do. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Isolation Makes Hard Times Harder: After her divorce, Jennie admits she isolated herself out of shame and now wishes she had let her friends support her sooner. Getting outside, hiking with friends, meeting new people and allowing laughter back into her life helped her begin climbing out of that period. Pay Attention to What Your Brain + Body Are Telling You: Jennie's severe memory issues became so concerning that she feared early-onset Alzheimer's or dementia. A brain scan revealed irregularities that Dr. Amen could be connected to a past head injury, while Jennie also believes then-unrecognized perimenopause was contributing. You Have to Be Persistent in Your Quest to Feel Better: Jennie says she became determined to feel joy again, trying different therapies, workshops, spending time in nature and eventually rediscovering creativity through designing a home. Her takeaway: change required consistency, figuring out what kind of life she actually wanted, and doing more of what made her feel alive.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and she is JAZZED for this one! She’s sharing 5 things that worked for her this week and the surprising thread connecting all of them: PAYING ATTENTION! First, Maria reveals the ridiculously simple bedroom change that made a HUGE difference with her hot flashes (seriously, wait until you hear this one!). She also shares the Dermalogica  LumiFusion facial she swears by for glowing skin and the two things she thinks may be behind her suddenly clearer pores. Hint, hint...one is something she removed from her diet and the other is one of her favorite morning routines. Plus, Maria tells us why she’s officially an outlet-shopping convert after scoring the bedroom set she wanted for around half the price, and then things get a little deeper. Then, a scary moment this week made her realize that sometimes what feels like a disruption in our lives may actually be the redirection we’ve been asking for. Maria also shares an inspirational post that came to her at exactly the right time about putting down the phone, creating more silence, listening to those little nudges, praying, and actually giving ourselves enough quiet to hear the answers we keep asking for. Don’t worry, we linked the post in the show notes too! Can’t wait for you to hear this one, friends. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk forgiveness, second chances, and what it means to choose compassion when you have every reason not to. We talk about being wronged by someone, the instinct to shut the door, and how sometimes remembering our own mistakes can help us see the person behind theirs. We talk about addiction, desperation, and giving someone another chance without ignoring what happened. How forgiveness doesn’t mean having no boundaries …sometimes it means putting the right protections in place while still choosing kindness. And how a simple “you’re loved here” can mean everything to someone who feels like no one is in their corner. We talk about the difference between “but” and “and.” I understand what happened AND we can’t have that here. Because maybe compassion and accountability don’t have to be opposites. Maybe we can hold people responsible without shaming them, and protect ourselves without losing our humanity. This week, ask yourself: Who might need a little kindness from me? Where can I choose “and” instead of “but”? And is there something — or someone — I might finally be ready to forgive and let go? Have a great week, Heal Squad. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Slacks versus trousers, Dawn dish detergent, oil stains, and a trip through the fast-food restaurants of yesteryear. We talk about the power of Dawn on an oil stain, the Dawn and baking soda upgrade, and why you never put it in the dryer until you know that stain is gone. We talk about Burger Chef Fun Meal, Red Barn, Chicken George, Howard Johnson's 28 flavors, and the chains that were once everywhere until they weren't. We discover Burger Queen (which clearly needs to come back as Burger Kween!) debate New England subs, Pub Subs, beer-steamed hot dogs, Friendly's, and why a proper hot dog needs the snap. Kev shares the legend of Wayne Winky Gray: the Tipperillo, the personalized bar stool plaque, the rehearsals, the well-drink-only offer... and the night Winky went completely off script. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with forgotten fast food, Wonder Bread burgers, functional fuel dinners of the '70s and '80s, and Winky being Winky. We'll talk shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week, and another RGF Weekend Edition! This week, a peaceful day in the ocean turns into a shark feeding frenzy and a reminder that some people are everyone’s friend, but somehow nobody’s friend. We talk about chronic complainers, Victim Con, Eeyores, Facebook warriors, and what happens when complaining stops being something you do and starts becoming who you are. Why negativity can reward us with attention and a sense of importance—and why arguing with someone determined to be miserable may be about as productive as wrestling Andre the Giant. Sometimes you just need to get out of the ring. We talk about the power of gratitude, how the thoughts we repeatedly rehearse become the ones we automatically reach for, and why maybe the answer to all that darkness isn’t more fighting—it’s bringing a little light. Community cleanup days, It’s a Wonderful Life, hot chocolate, popcorn, and maybe even a nice fleece vest. We talk about broken hips, smoke-break misery circles, junior plumbers, Popeye moments, and the reminder that we’re all going to lose it once in a while. The trick may be catching yourself, finding something to be grateful for, and getting yourself back on course. Happy Friday. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! Today for our throwback episode..we’re throwing it to our chat with Blogilates founder and fitness entrepreneur Cassey Ho for a reminder that the best workout isn’t necessarily the hardest one, it’s the one you can actually stick with. Cassey breaks down why finding joy in movement may be the secret to finally staying consistent with exercise, and how to build a fitness routine that doesn’t feel like punishment. She also opens up about her own struggles with body image, online hate, and body-shaming and what helped her rebuild her confidence when the criticism started affecting her mental health. Plus, Maria shares her own fitness journey, including how she lost 40 pounds and the mindset that helped her keep it off. Cassey also shares how she turned her passion for Pilates into Blogilates and built a fitness community that has helped millions of people rethink their relationship with working out.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and if you're a woman over 35, this might be one of the most important conversations you'll hear all year. For years, we've been told to eat less, do more cardio, and accept that weight gain, brain fog, low energy, and losing muscle are just part of hormones and getting older. But what if they don't have to be? In Part 2, Dr. Lyon shares what she calls the real playbook for women who want to stay strong, healthy, and independent for decades to come. She explains what actually happens to our muscles as we age, why your first and last meal of the day matter more than you think, and why resistance training isn't just about looking fit, it's one of the most powerful things you can do for your brain, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health.Maria and Dr. Lyon also bust some of the biggest myths women have been told about aging...from the idea that belly fat and muscle loss are inevitable to why walking alone isn't enough to maintain muscle after 35. Plus, Dr. Lyon shares her simple, realistic prescription for building strength at any age, including exactly how often to strength train, how much protein to eat, and why it's never too late to start. Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or looking to level up your routine, this episode is a powerful reminder that getting stronger isn't about perfection…it's about giving your future self the healthiest, strongest foundation possible. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Women don't need to spend the second half of life getting smaller, they need to get stronger. Resistance training and adequate protein are two of the most powerful tools for protecting your metabolism, brain, and long-term health. After 35, your muscles need more attention, not less. Prioritizing protein, especially at your first and last meal, and strength training consistently can help support energy, body composition, and healthy aging. It's never too late to build muscle. Whether you're 40, 60, or even 75, Dr. Lyon says your body is still capable of getting stronger (and healthier!) when you give your muscles the right stimulus.

Hey, Heal Squad! If you've been hearing everyone talk about building muscle but never really understood why it's so important, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a board-certified physician, longevity expert, and New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong, and she completely flips the script on what muscle actually does for our bodies. It turns out muscle isn't just about looking toned or getting stronger ...it's one of the most powerful organs for protecting your brain, supporting your metabolism, regulating blood sugar, and helping you stay healthy as you age. Dr. Lyon breaks down the fascinating connection between muscle and brain health, why brain fog and low energy may all be connected to muscle loss, and why simply building muscles are one of the best things you can do for your long-term health. They also dive into protein...like how much you really need, why quality matters, and the surprising role essential amino acids play in building and protecting muscle.Then they tackle one of the biggest health topics right now: GLP-1 medications. Dr. Lyon explains why they are posing another “problem” and although these medications can be an incredible tool, she talks about  why protecting your muscle through resistance training and proper nutrition is the piece of the conversation too many people are missing. If you've ever wondered what you should actually be doing today to protect your physical and mental health, this episode is packed with practical advice and plenty of "I never knew that!" moments. P.S. Be sure to check out Dr. Lyon’s new book too: The Forever Strong Playbook, a step-by-step guide to help transform muscle health in 6 weeks! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Muscle is one of the most powerful organs in your body, not just for strength, but for your brain, metabolism, and longevity. Every time you move your muscles, you're investing in better cognitive function, blood sugar regulation, and healthier aging. Don't wait until you're sick to prioritize your health. As Dr. Lyon says, "If you don't have time for wellness, how are you going to have time for sickness?"  The goal isn't just to lose weight, it's to protect your muscles. Dr. Lyon challenges us to think differently about health, explaining that unhealthy muscle may be the real root of many chronic diseases and that preserving muscle is essential, especially in the age of GLP-1 medications.
