Hey familia, Dr. Alex here!
If you’re a high-achieving woman—chances are you are juggling a lot of responsibilities, an endless to-do list, a busy schedule, have a demanding role, and your desire to make a big impact in this world is so very important to you. You’ve broken barriers and stereotypes. Accomplished things that no one with your background, culture, or upbringing is expected to do. You’ve wanted it so you went out there and did it. But, that has come at a cost.
Overwhelm and stress are part of your daily routine, and it’s starting to show. You dread going to the doctor, scared you’ll be told you have diabetes or some other disease that your entire family has. You were told to lose 10 lbs and instead are sure you’ve gained 15 and your blood pressure is high. You’ve tried their suggestions, you’ve tried things you’ve found online but it never lasts long.
You’re used to a way of living and in all reality, it’s hard to make lifestyle changes because your thinking patterns, your beliefs about who you are, what you’re capable of, and what is acceptable have been ingrained in you since birth—and that’s why lifestyle changes are so very difficult to make.
You may also have found that the diet and lifestyle recommendations you’ve come across by most healthcare professionals are unrealistic for your busy life, unappealing to your palate, don’t include foods from your culture, haven’t worked, and leave you feeling deprived, hopeless, isolated, or overwhelmed.
You know there is a better way—you just haven’t found the one that’s right for you.
Are you ready for a whole new approach to your health? A holistic approach to your health that is considerate of your culture, your upbringing, your religious practices, and your lifestyle?
Are you ready to learn how to create a healthy and sustainable work life balance? How to make these changes fit seamlessly into your everyday life?
As a holistic practitioner, educator, wife, mother, and Latina I understand how hard it can be. I created SPICE because I was stressed out, physically unwell, overwhelmed, and tired of living, thinking, and being all the stereotypes and limitations that my Latin culture and religious upbringing had placed in my brain. It worked—and now I want to share it with you.
