In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Dalina Soto (aka The Latina Nutritionist) about her journey from growing up as the eldest daughter in a Dominican family in Philly to becoming a dietitian who’s changing the way we think about nutrition. Dalina opens up about what it was like feeling out of place in traditional nutrition spaces, how she found her voice to challenge outdated (and mostly whitewashed) nutrition advice, and why embracing her cultura in the world of wellness is so important. She also shares behind-the-scenes stories from writing her book, talks intuitive eating through a cultural lens, and even spills her go-to coffee ritual. Whether you’re curious about food, health, or breaking the mold as a Latina in business, this episode brings real talk, laughter, and tons of inspiration.
