In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Bold Lounge, host Ray Ramos welcomes his most inspiring guest yet—his wife, Princess Ramos. A retired nurse, military veteran, plant-based nutrition educator, and holistic health coach, Princess shares her transformative journey from a cancer diagnosis to becoming a passionate advocate for wellness in Black and Brown communities.

Together, Ray and Princess dive into the myths and misconceptions surrounding health and wellness—especially the belief that illness is inevitable or that wellness is only for the sick. They explore the truth about diabetes, the dangers of processed foods, the importance of functional medicine, and how small, intentional changes can lead to lifelong transformation.
