🌸 Ladies, your body is not a man’s body and your nutrition shouldn’t be either!

💕 As a doctor, I believe nutrition is a key part of our health at every stage of life. That’s why I love including it in my medical consultations and helping women build healthier habits.

Have you ever wondered if fasting, exercise and nutrition advice actually works the same way for women?
Here are a few things worth knowing:

🍳 Don’t skip breakfast just because fasting is trending. Your body may respond differently to fasting, so pay attention to your energy and hunger.

🏋️‍♀️ Fuel your workouts! A small snack before exercising can help you feel energized and perform better.

🍌 Carbs are not the enemy! Complex carbohydrates and fiber support energy, metabolic health and overall well-being.

🌸 Your menstrual cycle matters. Hunger, energy and cravings can change throughout the month, so learn to listen to your body.

💪 Protein is essential. It helps maintain muscle and bone health, especially as we approach menopause.

🌷 During perimenopause and menopause, changing estrogen levels can affect metabolism. Prioritizing protein, fiber and nutritious carbohydrates can help support your health.

🤰 Pregnancy and breastfeeding require extra nourishment. Your body needs additional energy and nutrients during these stages it’s not about eating for two, but about eating well!

🌿 Don’t forget your gut health. Fiber and fermented foods can support a healthy microbiome.

💕 The takeaway? There is no one-size-fits-all diet for women. Your nutritional needs change throughout life, and understanding your body is the first step toward better health.

🌸 Ladies, does the way we exercise change as we get older?
Our bodies have different needs throughout life, and the type of physical activity we choose can make a big difference in our long-term health 💕 Let's take a look :

🌸 18–29 years | Build your foundation

🏋️‍♀️ Weights, running, cycling, dancing, sports,barre, Pilates or yoga.
💪 Benefits: Build muscle and bone density, improve endurance and coordination, and create healthy habits for the future.

🌷 30–49 years | Strength, energy & balance

🏋️‍♀️ Strength training, brisk walking, hiking, swimming, cycling, dancing, Pilates or yoga.
💗 Benefits: Preserve muscle, support bone and joint health, improve cardiovascular and metabolic health, and help manage stress and changes around perimenopause.

🌼 50–64 years | Protect what you’ve built

🏋️‍♀️ Strength training, walking, water exercises, Pilates, yoga and balance exercises.
🦴 Benefits: Help reduce muscle and bone loss, improve stability and mobility, and support an active and independent lifestyle.

🌻 65+ | Move for independence

🚶‍♀️ Walking, adapted strength exercises, pilates , swimming, mobility, stretching and balance activities such as tai chi.
✨ Benefits: Maintain strength and independence, reduce fall risk, and support a better quality of life.

🌸 Supplements women commonly use and what they’re for!

With so many options out there, it can be difficult to know what you actually need. Here are some of the most common ones:

✨ Vitamin D – Supports bone health, muscles and the immune system.
🦴 Calcium – Important for strong bones and teeth.
💊 Magnesium – Supports muscle and nerve function and may help with relaxation and sleep.
🩸 Iron – Essential for healthy red blood cells, especially important for women with heavy periods when deficiency is present.
🐟 Omega-3 – Supports heart, brain and eye health.
🌿 Vitamin B12 – Important for energy metabolism, red blood cells and healthy nerves.
🌸 Folate (B9) – Essential for cell growth and especially important before and during pregnancy.

💡 Remember: more supplements don’t necessarily mean better health. The right supplement depends on your individual needs, diet, lifestyle, medications and, when appropriate, your lab results.

If you're wondering which supplements are right for you, feel free to reach out! 🩺 I’m always happy to provide personalized guidance through in-office or home visits.

3 things you can always ask me to do as your primary care doctor 👩‍⚕️

Being your primary care doctor is about more than treating you when you’re sick. It’s also about helping you navigate your healthcare and making sure you don’t feel alone when you need care from someone else.

1. Ask me to recommend a specialist or another healthcare professional.
If you need a more in-depth evaluation because of a medical condition, an important medical history, or simply because your previous specialist is no longer available, you can always ask me for a recommendation. I can help you find the right professional based on your specific needs.

2. Ask me to communicate with your new doctor.
With your permission, I can contact your new healthcare provider, explain your situation, and share relevant medical information or previous test results when appropriate. Here in Ecuador, especially in private healthcare, medical records are not always connected between different providers, so having someone who already knows your medical history help connect the dots can be very valuable.

3. Ask me to help you understand what happened after your specialist visit.
If you see a specialist and come back with new test results, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan that you don’t fully understand, you can always ask me about it. I can help explain what your results mean, why a medication was prescribed, what the treatment is intended to do, and answer any questions you may still have.

Healthcare works best when we work as a team. As your primary care doctor, my role is not to replace specialists, but to help coordinate your care, connect the different pieces, and always keep your well-being at the center ❤️

🌿 Digestive Health Tips for Newcomers in Cuenca

If you are new to Cuenca, changes in food, water, and your environment can sometimes lead to digestive problems such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, or general weakness. These are common and often improve within a few days with proper care.

💧 Stay hydrated: Oral rehydration salts are the first choice to replace the water and electrolytes lost through diarrhea or vomiting. Take them frequently according to your needs. If you cannot keep fluids down or develop significant dehydration, seek medical attention.

🥗 Take care of your diet: While you are experiencing symptoms, avoid foods that may worsen them, such as dairy products, soft drinks, greasy or junk food, spicy foods, seafood, and raw vegetables. Prefer simple, well-cooked foods and smaller portions until you feel better.

🦠 Probiotics may help in some cases, but hydration remains the most important part of treatment.

💊 Avoid antibiotics without medical advice. Most acute gastrointestinal infections are viral and do not require antibiotics. Their use should always be evaluated and recommended by a physician.

🚨 Seek medical attention if you develop persistent fever, severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, significant dehydration, blood in the stool, severe weakness, or symptoms that are not improving.

If you are living in Cuenca and need medical assistance, I offer consultations in English, including home visits.

Errores comunes que dañan tu salud (y muchos hacen a diario)

A veces no enfermamos por algo grave…sino por pequeños hábitos que repetimos todos los días sin darnos cuenta.

Aquí te cuento algunos de los más frecuentes que veo en consulta 👩‍⚕️:

🚫 Automedicarte cada vez que sientes dolor o malestar: Tomar antibióticos, analgésicos o “lo que me funcionó antes” puede empeorar el problema y ocultar enfermedades importantes.

🚫 Ignorar síntomas pensando que se pasarán solos: Dolor de cabeza constante, cansancio extremo, mareos o problemas digestivos NO son normales cuando son frecuentes.

🚫 No realizarte controles médicos anuales: Muchas enfermedades como anemia, diabetes o presión alta avanzan en silencio.

🚫 Dormir mal o muy poco: El descanso afecta directamente tu sistema inmune, tu concentración y tu salud hormonal.

🚫 Tomar poca agua durante el día: La deshidratación provoca cansancio, dolores de cabeza y problemas renales.

🚫 Comer mal por falta de tiempo: Saltarse comidas o abusar de comida rápida impacta tu energía y tu salud a largo plazo.

👉 La buena noticia: corregir estos hábitos a tiempo puede prevenir muchas enfermedades.

🛡️ ¿Cómo fortalecer tus defensas de forma natural? (sin milagros, pero sí con hábitos que sí funcionan)

Muchas personas buscan “subir las defensas” solo cuando ya están enfermas pero puedes fortalecer tu sistema inmune con tus habitos diarios.

Aquí te dejo hábitos simples que realmente ayudan en esta època de lluvias:

✅ 1. Duerme bien :Dormir menos de 6 horas debilita tus defensas.Lo ideal: 7–8 horas diarias para que tu cuerpo se repare y se proteja mejor.

✅ 2. Alimentación que sí protege: Incluye con frecuencia:
🥦 Verduras
🍊 Frutas ricas en vitamina C
🥚 Proteínas (huevo, pollo, pescado, legumbres)
💧 Agua suficiente

Una buena nutrición = mejores defensas.

✅ 3. Muévete todos los días: Caminar 30 minutos diarios mejora la circulación y fortalece tu sistema inmune, cualquier actividad que te mantenga activo es mejor que nada.

✅ 4. Controla el estrés: El estrés constante baja tus defensas más de lo que imaginas. Respirar profundo, descansar y organizar tus tiempos sí hace diferencia.

✅ 5. No te automediques: Especialmente con antibióticos o “refuerzos” sin indicación médica ,pueden afectar tu sistema inmunológico.

💡 Importante:
No existen suplementos milagrosos. La base de unas buenas defensas está en tus hábitos diarios.

📍 Si te enfermas con frecuencia o quieres evaluar cómo está tu salud, una consulta médica puede ayudarte a identificar qué necesitas mejorar.
