This episode peels back the curtain on what it means to truly heal, with a perspective that marries the rigor of traditional medicine with the soulful art of holistic care. 

Dr. Maria Colon-Gonzalez, through the lens of her own health odyssey, invites us to reconsider the one-size-fits-all approach of symptom chasing, and instead, to embrace the full spectrum of what makes us human – from the nutrients that fuel our bodies to the dreams that feed our spirits.

This heart-to-heart with Dr. Maria doesn't just stop at the doctor's office door; it takes us on a journey through the maze of industry influences and societal pressures. We confront the disarming charm of quick fixes and the deceptive allure of fast foods, all while championing the power of informed choices. Personal empowerment emerges as the hero of the story, as we challenge a healthcare narrative that too often relinquishes control to prescriptions and passive patient roles. 

Dr. Maria's insights inspire us to build partnerships with our health providers, rooted in trust and mutual respect, where stigmas are dismantled and authentic connections flourish. All with the goal of you achieving optimal health!
