1273. The #1 Habit That Helps Reduce Inflammation w/ Montel Williams

from Heal Squad x Maria Menounos · host Heal Squad

Hey Heal Squad! After this week’s incredibly emotional conversations with Jamie Lynn Sigler about living with MS, we had to bring back our powerful episode with Montel Williams, who’s been navigating his own MS journey for more than two decades. In this conversation, Montel opens up about the symptoms he experienced for nearly 20 years before finally being diagnosed, the inflammation and chronic pain that completely changed his life, and how he became the “CEO of his health” long before that phrase became popular. He shares the research rabbit holes he went down, why he shifted his diet toward anti-inflammatory foods, the smoothie routine that changed his symptoms, and the alternative approaches that helped him manage pain and reclaim his quality of life. Maria and Montel also get into the bigger conversation around inflammation, gut health, cannabis, individualized care, and why so many people feel dismissed before finally getting answers. This episode is packed with perspective, curiosity, and so many practical takeaways!
