Hey Heal Squad! Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg is back!! We know how much you all love her, and we’re so excited she returned for a special edition of Maria’s favorite segment…What Worked This Week! And let’s just say…Jenny had A LOT to share. From how local honey has been helping her allergies, to how faith has become more powerful for her than ever before (she calls them her Jesus timeouts!),this episode is packed with her real-life tools that are actually working for her right now. Jenny also gives us a peek into her brand, Formless Beauty, and what’s new, plus she opens up about her latest wellness go-to: peptides! Jenny tells Maria what she’s currently using, and why she believes it’s so important to work with a doctor when incorporating them. Plus, Jenny shares one of her favorite ways to reset her nervous system and manage anxiety…something we love here on Heal Squad: EMDR! Friends, this is the kind of conversation that will make you love Jenny even more. And don’t forget, catch Jenny this week on the finale of The Masked Singer!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Peptides can be powerful for healing, but only when used correctly: Peptides have made a real difference for her, especially for things like gut health and mitochondria (energy production). But the key is to use  properly prescribed peptides, not just jumping on a trend.  Your nervous system is the foundation of healing: One of the biggest themes was that your body can’t fully heal if your nervous system is dysregulated. Whether it’s walking, EMDR, or simple daily resets, calming the body is essential. Don’t underestimate simple, consistent tools: From local honey helping allergies to prayer easing anxiety, Jenny shared that some of the most effective things aren’t complicated.
