Let's Be Healthy Latinas!
Let’s Be Healthy Latinas is the podcast for busy, high-achieving Latinas who are tired of putting themselves last. Hosted by Bronx-raised Dominicana and Certified Integrative Nutrition and Hormone Health Coach, Naihomy Jerez, this is where cultura meets real-life health.
We’ll talk food, hormones, energy, and all the cultural pressures that come with being the strong one in the family—without the guilt, confusion, or boring wellness talk. Expect real conversations, practical tips you can actually use, and a cafecito-sized dose of motivation to help you break cycles and build the vibrant, generational health you deserve.
Because being healthy isn’t about perfection—it’s about finally feeling good in your body and enjoying your life. So, grab your cafecito, amiga, and let’s be healthy Latinas, together!
