  • 106. Job Search, Body Image, & Learning to Give Yourself Grace

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    We talk about how modern beauty trends can erase individuality and why older TV reminds us how powerful it is to look like ourselves. We also get honest about body changes, aging, and setbacks, and how grace and flexible habits keep a wellness routine sustainable. 
    • Job search vulnerability, reciprocity, and letting support in 
    • The sameness effect of social media beauty standards 
    • What older shows reveal about natural faces and unique features 
    • Choosing self-expression over trend-chasing 
    • Having compassion when your body changes with life seasons 
    • Why rigid challenges fail and flexibility wins 
    • Building sustainable health habits with sleep, stress, movement, and food basics 
    I am still doing one off sessions, I'm doing three months of one on one coaching. You can feel free to reach out to me, or you can just feel free to reach out to me and let's have a conversation.

  • 105. Fast Results vs. Sustainable Change: Living Through the Process whether it's Weight Loss or Job Searching

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    We unpack why fast weight loss programs look convincing but often collapse when real life shows up. We talk carbs, GLP-1s, muscle loss, and how to build a boring, sustainable health lifestyle that still leaves room for joy. 

    • why cookie cutter meal plans and product claims pull people in 
    • carbs as energy and why context matters for nutrition 
    • the real test of a plan being where you are in a year 
    • food education over food shame, especially for travel and social life 
    • why extreme restriction can drive muscle loss and fat regain 
    • GLP-1s for vanity weight loss versus medical need and the cost problem 
    • building habits doctors recommend anyway: protein, strength training, fiber 
    • choosing alignment over comparison, including confidence and self-acceptance 
    • using blood work and a doctor conversation to guide decisions 

    Send me a note, send me a text, send me an email, a text, a DM. If you are interested in health coaching, hit me up as well.

  • 104. On Year, 140 Applications & No Job Offer: My Honest Job Search Update & Life Lessons

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    I come back after a long break to share what the last year has really looked like behind the scenes, from a slowing business to a job search that has stretched my nervous system in every direction. I talk through the lesson I keep bumping into, reciprocity, and what it costs me to receive support without shame or restrictions.

    • why I stepped back from recording and what brought me back 
    • what reciprocity means to me this year and why receiving is hard 
    • how my self-funded coaching business took a financial hit and why 
    • what the 2026 job market feels like from the inside 
    • the numbers I tracked: applications, referrals, interviews, presentations 
    • why “transferable skills” are not getting valued right now 
    • the mental load of parenting, partnership, job searching, and running a home 
    • the body toll of chronic stress and why I protect my wellness routines 
    • learning to stop “duct taping” solutions and allow the next opportunity 
    • how talking with friends, mentors, and therapy helps me see patterns 

    Feel free to reach out. You can leave a text message on your listening platform, send me an email ([email protected]), or DM me on Instagram, and you can find the links in the show notes.

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    We push back on the five-pound fixation and lay out a saner path to fat loss that protects muscle, bones, hormones and joy. A dinner-table moment sparks a reset: confidence first, data-informed choices, and habits that last.

    • intermittent fasting concerns for perimenopause
    • normal weight fluctuations and what they mean
    • difference between fat loss and muscle loss
    • long-term risks of chronic undereating

    • labs to personalize your plan and pace
    • building confidence without waiting for the scale
    • breaking intergenerational diet talk at the table

  • 102. New Years Wellness Trends - Beware!

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    We challenge the new-year wellness noise and show how to build habits that last beyond the honeymoon phase. From protein hype to GLP‑1 marketing, we unpack the trends and lay out a slower, steadier path that fits real life.

    • recognising how ads target insecurities and urgency
    • food politics shaping labels, menus and defaults
    • protein, fiber and microbiome claims across products
    • GLP‑1 promotion and limits of quick fixes
    • mass marketing versus individual needs and context
    • planning for the season you’re in
    • six-month consistency over 30-day challenges
    • simple, repeatable habits for energy and strength
    • using supplements as tools, not solutions

  • 101. Wellness Quick Fixes to Consistent Lifestyle: 5 Deep Sacrifices

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    We reflect on nine years of health change and name the five real sacrifices that make a wellness lifestyle stick. Comfort, identity, thoughts, time, and relationships all shift so results feel natural, not forced.

    • leaving the comfort zone across food, movement, and public spaces
    • allowing identity to evolve beyond old habits and social roles
    • replacing unhelpful thoughts with flexible, portable beliefs
    • reshaping the weekly schedule to protect sleep, training, and meals
    • renegotiating social norms and invitations with clear boundaries
    • using simple tools like portion checks without perfectionism
    • anticipating discomfort so small steps feel safe and sustainable
    • choosing progress over quick fixes and timelines

    As always, please rate the podcast, leave a review, share with your friends, share on social media, and please feel free to tag me
    Then I invite you to go ahead and send me a DM, an email, book a free consultation call so we can talk more about this and set you up with health and hormone coaching with me so I can support you along the way.

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    We answer real questions about choosing a gym, leaving one that no longer fits, and how to build a training routine that sticks. From safety and budget to progression and recovery, we share what actually drives results and why strength supports long-term health.

    • choosing a gym by distance, cost, safety, cleanliness, and culture

    • matching classes, equipment, and coaching to specific goals
    • when to leave a gym and what trade-offs to expect
    • switching to the YMCA for access, value, and proximity
    • training solo with a simple plan and headphones
    • what to pack: water, electrolytes, protein, creatine, wraps
    • progressive overload as the driver of strength and results
    • home vs gym: equipment limits and seasons of life
    • strength for mood, bone density, insulin sensitivity, and aging well
    • reframing weight loss toward body composition and recovery

  • 98. "I lost weight and then got diabetes": Here Is What I Shared with My Loved One (Spanish explanation included)

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    In this episode, I share about a conversation I had with a loved one, when she told me, "I lost weight and then got diabetes". The best part is that I not only share the story in English, but in SPANISH as well!

    We share how weight loss without muscle protection can worsen insulin resistance in midlife, why body composition matters more than the scale, and how protein, fiber, strength training, and small daily habits improve blood sugar, cholesterol, bone health, and pain. We speak in English and Spanish to reach family members who need clear, culturally grounded guidance.

    • difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes explained simply
    • why restrictive dieting erodes muscle and harms glucose control
    • role of progressive strength training in perimenopause and beyond
    • protein and fiber targets to support satiety, muscle, and cholesterol
    • visceral fat vs subcutaneous fat and metabolic risk
    • pain myths that block movement and how to start safely
    • bone density, falls risk, and protecting autonomy with load
    • consistency as a lifestyle, not a seasonal project
    • inviting loved ones to learn in Spanish and act together

    Please rate this podcast, leave a review so more people can find this kind of information, and share it with a friend; tag me @naihomyjerez and @LetsBeHealthyLatinasPod

  • 97. When Change & Decisions Feel Hard: 5 Steps to Help You Ground

    Send Naihomy a text!💕

    We trade a planned topic for a real-time unpacking of how overwhelming decisions were draining our energy and how five simple practices brought us back to a grounded, clear place. We connect emotional stagnation to physical symptoms, use tools to regulate and reflect, and end with flexible, values-led action.

    • naming stagnant emotions and their impact on the body
    • the cost of avoidance, rushing decisions, and rigidity
    • feeling the full emotion without performing calm
    • speaking with safe people for validation, mirrors, and perspective
    • journaling prompts that surface lessons, fears, and the ideal
    • defining five non-negotiables with therapist support
    • 12-minute meditation to shift state and calm the nervous system
    • asking the 10-year-old self what they need
    • choosing flexibility over forever decisions
    • a clear recap of the five practices to get unstuck
    • invitation for supported, personalized wellness change

    If that support would help, book a consultation with the link below, or DM me on Instagram and we can see if it’s a fit for you
