1258. How Supplements Spiked Maria’s Blood Sugar, Why Reflexology Helped + 5 Game-Changing Lifestyle Upgrades

Author: Heal Squad April 13, 2026 Duration: 39:26
Hey Heal Squad! It’s another What Worked This Week with Maria, straight from El Salvador! Today, she kicks things off with a wild discovery ( and really wasn’t working lol)… her supplements were actually spiking her blood sugar! Yup, something as “healthy” as beef liver supplements may have hidden ingredients that can impact glucose levels. If you’re dealing with blood sugar or diabetes, this is a must-listen.Then, something that did work: reflexology. Maria found a local certified reflexologist, and not only did it help her feel more balanced, it actually helped lower her blood sugar and reduce her insulin. FYI, we’re having her top reflexologist at our Heal Squad Day of Reset (info below!). But it's not just the reflexology, Maria talks about her reduced blood sugar is also a result of being by the ocean. The sun, salt water, even black sand in El Salvador has her feeling totally recharged and more in tune with her body than ever. She also has a beach conversation with a total stranger that really hit. It sparked a bigger reflection on living in alignment and how going against your nature might actually be making you sick. Listen in for some reflective thoughts about that. Finally 5 lifestyle upgrades Maria swears by right now like an almond milk maker, root cover-up, and so much more (hint, hint, Kim Kardashian is into one of them!) But every single one of these are definite game changers!
