<![CDATA[Sanando Juntos | Healing Together with Alma]]>Sanando Juntos, Healing Together is a podcast about health, healing, and the real conversations we don’t always hear when it comes to our bodies. Hosted by pharmacist and functional health coach Dr. Alma, this show blends science, intuition, culture, and lived experience. Here we talk about the things many people are dealing with but rarely get clear answers for. Things like hormone shifts, gut issues, insulin resisitance, health struggles, burnout, stubborn weight, etc. And if you don't know what those things mean, but feel like crap, don't worry, she teaches you about that too.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to do all the “right” things - eating better, exercising, taking supplements, reading the wellness books but you're not feeling better, this podcast is for you.

This podcast is about stepping back and looking at the bigger picture of how the body actually works. We talk about functional health, root causes, nervous system health, ancestral wisdom, and learning how to reconnect with the intelligence of your own body.

And if you're someone who takes their health seriously and wants help connecting the dots between your labs, symptoms, and the bigger picture of your health, the best place to start is with a Body Language Lab Review, where we walk through it together. You’ll find the link to book your Body Language Lab Review in the show notes.

Because your body is always trying to tell you something.
Sometimes you just need help interpreting the message.

Now, it looks like connection.

In this episode, she shares her journey from being raised Catholic in a Latino household to questioning what she was taught and redefining what spirituality means to her today.

This conversation isn’t about having the “right” beliefs.
It’s about feeling connected—to yourself, to others, and to something bigger.

She also explores something that doesn’t get said enough:
how that sense of connection (or disconnection) can impact your health more than we think.

0:40 – Why spirituality matters for health
2:00 – Growing up Catholic (Latina upbringing)
4:30 – Questioning beliefs & world religions class

But not the kind you read in a quote and forget 5 minutes later.

In this episode, I’m walking you through my story, growing up in an immigrant household, figuring things out without a roadmap, becoming a mom early, and finding my way into pharmacy… and eventually into burnout.

Because mindset isn’t just about “thinking positive.” It’s shaped by where you come from, what you’ve been through, and what you believe is possible for you. This is about survival, pressure, responsibility… and the moments that push you to do something different. If you’ve ever felt like you’re figuring life out on your own,
this one’s for you.

Key topics

  • Alma's childhood and immigration story
  • The importance of mindset in health and success
  • Journey through pharmacy school and career challenges
  • Burnout and the role of functional medicine
  • Holistic approach to health: mind, body, spirit

In this Valentine's Day episode, Dr. Alma is joined by her husband, Emir, for an honest and funny conversation about what it really looked like to evolve together.

They share how their immigrant upbringing shaped their views on food, how a diabetes diagnosis shifted everything, and how a functional medicine pivot not only changed their meals but their entire household.

From protein-style burgers before they were trendy to navigating pride, culture, and mindset shifts, this episode explores:

• Growth that isn’t simultaneous
• Why you can’t force someone to change
• How Latino culture shapes health and masculinity
• What partnership requires when one person evolves first

They didn’t handle it perfectly. But they stayed open. And chose to move forward together.

If you’re growing and your partner isn’t ready, or you feel like you’re playing catch-up - this one is for you. Because healing isn’t just personal, it affects the people you love too.

In this episode of Sanando Juntos, she explores the significance of ancestral wisdom in health and healing. She emphasizes the importance of integrating this wisdom with modern science to create a holistic approach to wellness. The conversation highlights how healing has shifted from a relational process to a transactional one, and how reconnecting with our bodies and communities can lead to better health outcomes. Dr. Alma encourages listeners to trust their bodies and remember the innate wisdom they carry, which can guide them towards healing and well-being.

Healing used to be relational.
Food was shared and seasonal.
Rest had rhythm.
Community was protective.
The body’s signals were trusted.

It’s about bringing rhythm, connection, and wisdom back into modern life.

Next week, her husband joins the podcast to talk about what this looks like inside a marriage and family — from their love story to the daily rhythms that shape a home.

Dr. Alma discusses the alarming rise of chronic illnesses and the dependency on medications in modern society. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of lifestyle choices, particularly regarding food, and how these choices are influenced by systemic factors. Dr. Alma advocates for empowerment through awareness and small, manageable changes that can lead to significant health improvements. She also hints at the next episode's focus on ancestral wisdom as a means of healing.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Chronic illness is becoming the norm in society.
  • Many adults are on multiple medications for chronic conditions.
  • The healthcare system is focused on managing illness rather than preventing it.
  • Food choices are heavily influenced by accessibility and societal norms.
  • Communities of color face greater health disparities.
  • Awareness of health choices empowers individuals.
  • Small lifestyle changes can lead to significant health improvements.
  • Healing begins at home and with personal choices.
  • You don't have to be perfect to make progress in health.
  • It's never too late to reclaim your health.

This episode sets the foundation for what comes next. Because once we understand the pattern, the next question is clear: what did we forget along the way?

In this episode of Sanando Juntos | Healing Together, Alma explores why lab work is an important tool but not the full picture. Many people continue to feel exhausted, inflamed, moody, or disconnected even when results fall within range. That does not mean the body is wrong or that symptoms are imagined. This conversation breaks down how the body detects imbalance long before disease appears on paper and why listening to your body is not anti science. It is biological awareness. When labs and lived experience are considered together, clearer and more confident health decisions become possible.

In this episode, we cover:

00:00 Introduction: The Disconnect Between Labs and Feelings

03:27 Understanding Lab Results: A Snapshot of Health

06:57 The Importance of Listening to Your Body

09:34 Conclusion: Empowering Yourself Through Awareness

We go over:

  • What normal lab ranges really mean
  • Why labs are snapshots, not the whole story
  • Early signs the body uses to signal imbalance
  • The role of the nervous system in intuition
  • Why symptoms are information, not failure

If you have ever been told everything looks fine while you still feel off, this episode is for you. Your body is not failing you. It is paying attention. In the next episode, we zoom out to look at the bigger picture and explore why chronic health issues are so common today and how our food, systems, and environment shape risk and choice.

In this episode, we talk about how conventional medicine became the gold standard, what it does really well, and where it falls short when it comes to prevention and root-cause healing.

We explore what got lost when care became fast, specialized, and symptom-focused, and why functional medicine looks at patterns, systems, and the story behind your symptoms.

I share how I became a pharmacist, what it meant to build a career in healthcare as a first-generation Mexican immigrant, and what I started noticing once I was inside the system. I followed the science, did everything I was trained to do, and still found myself and the people around me feeling tired, inflamed, and disconnected from their bodies.

I also share how my own health eventually forced me to slow down and listen. That experience changed how I understand healing and why I no longer separate the body, the mind, culture, and real life when it comes to health.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not feeling well, this episode is for you.

  • 05:37 Herstory: Challenges and Resilience
  • 11:03 Transition to Functional Medicine Approach
  • 17:26 Connection with Body and Career Change

✨ Next episode: We’ll zoom out and talk about how we got here as a healthcare culture and why so many people feel unheard in their health journeys.

Sanando Juntos | Healing Together with Alma is a podcast for people who want clarity around their health without overwhelm, extremes, or quick fixes.

At times, Alma is joined by her husband to reflect on health through the lens of partnership, culture, and shared responsibility.

This podcast is for those who are ready to stop guessing and start understanding their health with confidence and intention.
