1319. The Do's & Don'ts of Mold Toxicity: Why Women Are Getting Sick and No One's Testing for It w/ Dr. Amy Myers
28/07/2026 | 39 mins.Hey, Heal Squad! It feels like mold is everywhere these days...but how much of what we're hearing is actually true? That's exactly why we were so excited to welcome our friend of the pod, Dr. Amy Myers, back to Heal Squad. Dr. Amy is an internationally acclaimed functional medicine physician, 2x New York Times bestselling author (The Autoimmune Solution and The Thyroid Connection), founder of Austin UltraHealth, and host of the Take Back Your Health podcast. But here's what makes this conversation hit differently...mold toxicity is deeply personal for Dr. Amy. She's lost everything to mold three-and-a-half times. She's been diagnosed with PTSD. She flew in a trauma specialist to help her heal. And she is telling us everything she wishes she had known sooner.Today, Maria and Dr. Amy break down the biggest do's and don'ts of mold toxicity.This is the one you're going to want to send to everyone you know. We get into why toxic mold is so different from everyday household mold, why water-damaged buildings are the real hidden culprit, the gene 1 in 4 people carry that means their body literally can't clear mold (and why women are hit so much harder than the men living in the same house), why women are so often dismissed when mold is the underlying issue, and the surprising places mold loves to hide...even when you can't see it. The best part? Dr. Amy doesn't just tell us what to watch out for…she shares the simple habits she uses in her own home to help prevent mold before it becomes a problem, along with practical ways to lower your risk without living in fear. Trust us...this conversation will have you looking at your home a little differently, and it might just explain symptoms you've never been able to connect.
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS
The biggest mold do's and don'ts every homeowner should know: From why she avoids front-loading washing machines and installs leak detectors under every sink, to the mistake people make when buying brand-new homes and the difference between everyday mold and water-damaged buildings, Dr. Amy shares the practical habits she follows to protect her home…without living in fear.
Women aren't crazy...they're being dismissed: Mold symptoms often look like anxiety, burnout, thyroid issues, brain fog, or perimenopause(1 in 4 people carry a gene (HLA-DR) that means their body literally cannot clear the toxins. Women are hit hardest.).. Instead of asking, "What's wrong with my body?" Dr. Amy says more women should be asking, "Could my home be making me sick?" It's a simple question that could uncover the hidden root of symptoms often blamed on hormones, stress, or aging.
Dr. Amy built a mold-resistant dream home from the ground up and STILL got hit: If it can happen to her, it can happen to any of us, and that's exactly why you need to hear what she wishes she had known sooner.

How to Stop Overscheduling Your Life + Maria's Greece Travel Tips, Packing Hack & Jet Lag Fix
27/07/2026 | 36 mins.Hey, Heal Squad! It's another edition of What Worked This Week, and this one might be Maria's favorite yet. Fresh off her trip to Greece, she's sharing the biggest lesson she didn't expect to learn: sometimes the best things happen when you stop planning every minute and leave room for life to surprise you. From a spontaneous visit to the healing island of Tinos to setting healthier boundaries with herself, Maria explains why protecting your peace might be the key to finding yourself again. She also shares her favorite Greece travel recommendations (including the breathtaking Odera Hotel and why Tinos belongs on your bucket list)!, why stargazing, family time, and meaningful conversations ended up being the most memorable parts of the trip, and how even work felt different once she stopped rushing and let her vacation unfold naturally. Plus, she's rounding up all the practical things that actually worked this week…travel wise! Like, the viral Sudoku Packing Method that helped her pack lighter, Kevin's portable cooling fan that became her travel MVP, and the simple circadian rhythm trick she swears helped her beat jet lag. She also shares the sweet language hack that had Athena speaking more Greek than ever before! Such a fun update on life right now for Maria and we hope you enjoy it!

Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk about summer travel, weather delays, and a trip to the legendary Tanglewood. We talk about Arthur Fiedler, Tanglewoods,Great Woods, and reminisce about some of New England's most iconic musical traditions. We talk about the timeless motto of Highlights magazine: "Fun with a Purpose." We discuss creating a nostalgic magazine network to coincide with the novelty ice cream network and revisit Flat Stanley, the early DARK days of cable television, and growing up before every form of entertainment was just a click away. We talk about why everyone in Greece seems so healthy and non-consumers. Christmas being only five months away, and that Halloween decorations are already showing up in stores. This week, ask yourself: How can you bring Fun with a Purpose into Your Life! Have a great week! We'll talk Shawtly.

This week we're taking a nostalgic trip back to a childhood that looked very different from today. Before Google, smartphones, YouTube, and social media, so much of what shaped us came from the simple things: magazines in the waiting room, books from the library, classroom reading cards, puzzles at the kitchen table, and the freedom to be bored enough to let our imaginations take over. We're unpacking the forgotten ecosystem that quietly raised an entire generation and asking what we've gained, what we've lost, and what might be making a comeback. From the child psychologists behind the "Fun with a Purpose" philosophy to the surprising lessons hidden inside games like Hidden Pictures and Goofus & Gallant, Kev explores how these small moments built focus, curiosity, empathy, and a lifelong love of learning. PLS bonus! AI articles, the truth about negative online comments and bots and why physical books and magazines may be more attractive to this new gen.

Today Kev gets into how one of Greece’s biggest stars proves you don’t need the biggest audience (you need the right niche!), and how a working vacation led to a humbling realization that the world’s most fulfilled people share one uncommon trait: extraordinary self-awareness. He chats how the Enneagram goes beyond describing what you do and uncovers why you do it: what you fear, what drives you, and how your personality changes under stress. How the same behavior can come from completely different emotional engines, and why understanding those motives can transform relationships, leadership, and even your family. Then, how your greatest strength can quietly become your greatest limitation and how replacing “That’s just who I am” with “That’s the strategy I learned to use” can completely change how you see yourself. Kev also discovers he’s a Type 2 Helper with strong Achiever and Challenger traits and why that explains a lifetime of building, protecting, overextending, and occasionally forgetting himself along the way. Plus, how successful families hold regular meetings to improve their relationships, why awareness is the ultimate competitive advantage, and why there are people in the castle and equally valuable people on the ground. Also, why simply showing up opens unexpected doors … and why the opportunity you’re waiting for may already be waiting for you. Bye Betches!
