131. How to Heal Your Gut Health as a Latina Mom with Dr. Alma Medina

from Viva la Mami - Latina Motherhood, Modern Parenting, Latina Well-Being · host Jessica Cuevas

In this powerful conversation, I sat down with Dr. Alma Medina, a certified functional medicine coach and pharmacist, right here in the Chicago area. As a fellow first-gen Latina mama, we dove deep into healing from the root - addressing gut health issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue that so many mujeres in our community struggle with. We also explored how to reclaim the nutritional power of our traditional Latino foods and why functional medicine is the key to breaking generational health cycles.For detailed show notes, visit vivalamami.com/episode131What You'll Hear:Why functional medicine looks at the whole person vs. treating symptoms in piecesHow our immigrant upbringing and traditional healing practices connect to modern holistic careThe truth about gut health being the "command center" of our bodiesWhy Latino foods are actually incredibly nutritious (despite what we've been told)Practical tips for busy mamas wanting to eat intentionally without the overwhelmResources Mentioned:Continuous glucose monitors for understanding how foods affect your bodyFunctional medicine lab reviews as an entry point to better healthMeal prepping strategies for busy familiesWays to Follow Dr. Alma:Social Media Pages: Instagram, Facebook, & TikTokWebsite: www.soulbodyholistix.comServices: One-on-one coaching, group cohorts, lab reviewsSupport the showSHOP MY NEWEST PRODUCTS - "How to Get Dual Citizenship in Mexico" E-Guide & Digital Course 🇲🇽 🇺🇸Love this episode?
