In this podcast we will dive into all things health and wellness. My Salsa Sol Food approach breaks down how physical activity, nourishing self-care and intentional eating are all a part of healing our bodies and minds. After many years of mysterious chronic symptoms I wanted to share my health journey and help guide others. We do not take ourselves too seriously on this show and want to make you laugh!!!
