Conversations With Maria Menounos

Happy Christmas, Heal Squad! With 2026 just being a week away, we’re revisiting one of our most practical and empowering conversations to help you reset your health the right way. This throwback episode originally kicked off 2025 with a fresh approach to fitness and nutrition, and the lessons are even more relevant now. Maria sits down with fitness coach, nutritionist, and chef Christina Gomez to break down how women should actually be training and fueling their bodies as hormones change. From why high-intensity workouts may be working against you, to how strength training, isometrics, and cortisol-friendly movement can support metabolism, energy, and longevity, this episode reframes everything we’ve been taught about fitness. If your 2026 goals include feeling stronger, less stressed, more balanced, and more in tune with your body (not burned out by it), this throwback is the perfect way to reset, refocus, and build habits that actually last.
