To maintain healthy skin, consider a few essential tips:

1. Use Sunscreen daily: protect your skin against UV damage with broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher. 

2. Incorporate Antioxidants: Use serums with Vitamin C and E to combat free radicals 

3. Hydrate your Skin: By drinking water, but also by using water-based skin care products that helps hydrated the skin on the top surface layer. 

4. Moisturize Effectively: Select a rich moisturizer to combat skin dryness and improve elasticity

5. Prioritize Sleep: Aim for at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep (I think we all have a working progress in this area).

Okay now that you read few tips for skincare health, let's tune into today's podcast episode with Kim.

 Happy Wednesday Mujeres!

The moment has finally come to have another wellness expert to discuss an important topic relating to uterine fibroid health. According to women's health gov, "About 20 to 80 percent of women develop fibroids by the time they reach age 50s. Not all women with fibroids have symptoms. Women who do have symptoms often find fibroids hard to live with." You may be wondering at this point, what determines a woman to be at risk for developing fibroids? and that is absolutely a great question!

Join Dr. Eric Hardee and I as we have a discussion on women's health conditions relating to uterine fibroids. Dr. Eric Hardee is a board-certified vascular interventional radiologist and co-founder of Texas Endovascular, with nearly 30 years of experience treating a broad range of vascular and embolization condition using advance, minimal invasive techniques. 

With a strong background in both military and civilian medicine, Dr. Hardee has dedicated his career to helping patients regain comfort, mobility, and confidence without major surgery. His expertise includes span vein and artery disorders, including varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, and peripheral artery disease (PAD) as well as embolization treatment for conditions such as uterine fibroids. Known his compassionate, educational approach, Dr. Hardee takes time to ensure every patient understands their condition and treatment options. His care philosophy is rooted in precision, trust, and innovation, helping each patient achieve lasting relief and better quality of life.

Tune in today's podcast episode as we have a delightful and educative conversation about uterine fibroid health in women and treatment option with Texas Endovascular: Fibroid Treatment Cener in Houston.

I am glad there are medical providers like Dr. Eric Hardee who has advocated for the uterine fibroid embolization procedure to be covered by insurances as this help many women regain their life back!

 Happy Wednesday Night Mujeres!

I am happy to announce that I am slowly coming back to podcasting after being gone for more than 3 years. I know most of you thought... what the heck happened?! Well to say the least, I went through a major transition in my life where I needed to step away from Saludable Latina to focus on my healing journey. Tune into tonight's new episode for 2026 as I felt good being behind the mic. 

Although I don't share everything all at once, I feel that I will share my personal life experiences with my community in increments. I would however, like to thank you for sticking around when things went silent and giving me space to heal mentally, physically, and spiritually. This stage of my life was not easy at all, but I was able to navigate and manage hard circumstances that has taught me some valuable lessons.

I am looking forward to creating new initiatives for Saludable Latina and am happy to say I have started March on the right note by connecting with wellness experts. I look forward to sharing the first podcast guest in April that address different areas in women's health. 

Happy March Mujeres!

I am happy to share with y'all some great moments from She Media: Whole Health Life SXSW (South by Southwest). She media returned to Austin, Texas and coordinated amazing panel speakers to address the science of women's health and longevity. And so, I was very excited to be back in Austin for two reasons, one to be part of the experience with She Media and two to spend some quality time with my sister (which I never get to do, since I am in San Diego). 

She Media definitely brought their A game to Austin to coordinate some amazing panel speakers with professionals, innovators, and change makers. Panel topics ranged from: physical health, nutrition, sexual health, mental health, holistic health, parenting, science, and much more. Every session was packed with valuable insight, awareness, and advocacy. Most of all supporting women's health initiatives (which you all know I am passionate about).

After having an opportunity to plug back in the wellness space, this is why Saludable Latina exist and the reason why I keep going! Thank you Austin, Texas. 

While everyone was busy buying candy and flowers for Valentine's Day, I was ready for a small weekend gateway with my family to Sedona, Arizona. The Sedona location has been on my bucket list since I was a teenage girl, but I never really knew when I would get the opportunity to visit. Until most recently in the month of February, I decided I needed to plan more time off work in 2026.

 I realized now that I am one year wiser and a single mother. I can't buy back time, so I needed to value the 100 hours of saved PTO that I have and be okay with taking time of work to prevent burn out, center my nervous system, distress, and spend quality time with my son. Balancing life is not easy, but like anyone else I deserve much needed time off to be present in life. 

So, I packed our bags and headed to Sedona, Arizona. Sedona offers a unique blend of natural red rock formations trails that are endless possibilities for hiking explorations. I wanted to go off the rail and wander deeper, but I had to keep smaller trails in mind for my little one and my senior parents, so I look forward to returning someday to explore the forest, rivers, and canyons on a deeper level. 

Benefits of Sedona during February:

• Desert Environment
• Sunshine and Enjoyable weather 
• Escape from City Life 
• Privacy and Peace
• Fresh Air and Natural Rock Energy 

 In the month of February, there is no greater feeling than sharing love, but keep in mind there are many people who recently ended a situationship, relationship, or marriage. For this exact reason, SELF LOVE is an important chapter to pause and think about all the ways we can show up for ourselves. 

So, what is Self-Love?  

Well for starters, Self-love can have many different meanings to individuals, but some may define it as a deep psychological concept of self-worth.  I believe the true intention behind self-love revolves around self-compassion.  Where one truly shows up for themselves when no one else is around and discovers supporting their own needs and wants while honoring their limitations. It's also about exploring emotions in different areas of life to create awareness and find different coping mechanism activities. 

Below are a couple tips to practice Self-Love:

1. Daily Gratitude: Appreciate what you already have. Despite the bad things that might be happening, gratitude can shift your focus by minimizing negative thoughts. 

2. Let go of toxic people:  if you have family, friends or peers who are constantly negative and bringing you down it's okay to set limitations and create healthy boundaries, so you can focus on quality energy exchange. 

3. Forgive yourself for wanting to please everyone:  It's not your responsibility, instead focus on filling that self-love energy to replenish your needs and wants.  

4. Manage Stress: treat yourself with kindness and understanding. Trying to meet everyone's expectations at work, home and family can feel overwhelming. Take a step to slow things down and do mini coping exercises to help you get through the day. 

5. Embrace your strengths:  We all have strengths tied to hidden talents such as creators, artist, cooking, and more. Identify what is your hidden talent as it will improve your confidence. 

Remember Self Love is always about being compassionate to yourself in life, health, and relationships. Don't know where to start, below is a self-paced workbook that can help start that journey.
