1324. Whitney Cummings on Protecting Your Energy, NAD+ & Why Vague Health Goals Keep You Stuck  
Podcast: Heal Squad x Maria Menounos
Published On: Wed Aug 05 2026
Description: Hey, Heal Squad! Whitney Cummings is back for Part 2  and somehow the conversation gets even better. It honestly feels like you're sitting in on two friends swapping life hacks, laughing until they cry, and accidentally dropping some of the best advice you've heard in a while. Whitney shares the surprisingly simple mindset that's helped her stop feeling so overwhelmed (wait until you hear her "energy dollars" analogy...it's genius!) Then a story you haven’t heard…Whitney admits she used to do clinical drug trials for as a broke comedian in LA, which then led to getting her thoughts on the supplement world, who's actually behind these vitamin companies, and a Rob Schneider story that you will not see coming. Plus, Maria and Whitney get into the wellness things we've all been doing that might not be what we think they are, chat about the state of the entertainment industry and why laughter might be the most underrated form of healing. Funny, smart, a little chaotic, and completely worth it. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Treat Your Energy Like Money. Whitney explains her "energy dollars" system: a simple way to stop overcommitting, protect your peace, and let go of guilt when your tank is empty. Stop Adding More, Start Simplifying. Instead of chasing every wellness trend, Whitney shares why making one small change at a time (“pick one”)  and trusting your own body leads to better health. The State of The Industry. Whitney explains why today's creators no longer need Hollywood's permission and why connecting directly with your audience is changing entertainment for the better.
