In this episode, I sit down with my friend Chef Odie (formerly known as Edgar Castrejón, author of Provecho) for a deeply honest conversation about how growing up in a Mexican American household shaped who we are today.

We open up about our childhood experiences with poverty, the emotional connection to Mexican comfort food, and how those early years influenced our relationship with nutrition, success, and work.

If you’ve ever struggled with rest, productivity, or your relationship with food, this conversation will resonate.

In this episode, I break down why meal plans fail in real life, and how to build a meal plan that actually works and is made for real life.. even weekends!

I’ll also share the meal plan I created for people who are tired of starting over every Monday. It's flexible, culturally inclusive, and actually sustainable.

If you’ve been “doing everything right” and the scale still won’t budge, this episode is for you.

Most people assume weight loss stalls because they’re not disciplined enough. As a dietitian, I’ll tell you the truth: that’s rarely the reason. More often, it’s the approach, not the person.

In this episode, we unpack why eating less and trying harder often backfire, what’s actually holding your body back, and why nourishment and structure matter more than restriction. I also share my personal journey with recent weight loss postpartum. If this hits close to home, join me and let's chat!

In this episode, we sit with a deceptively simple question: Is food political?
From the oils we argue about to the guidelines we’re told to trust, we explore how food became a battleground, and what that means for the way we eat, think, and judge ourselves and others.
