Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean changing the foods that connect us to culture and tradition.

Many Hispanic dishes are already built around nutritious ingredients like beans, vegetables, whole grains, herbs and spices. A few thoughtful choices can make favorite recipes even more supportive of your health without sacrificing the flavors that make them special.

See how tradition and healthy cooking can share the same table.

To help you create healthy and balanced meals, we spoke with two Colorado chefs about the significance of food in Hispanic culture and their recommendations for elevating flavors while also cooking healthy dishes.

For decades, Dr. Ross Camidge has dedicated his career to advancing lung cancer treatment, helping lead research, clinical trials and care for thousands of patients. In 2022, he unexpectedly found himself on the other side of that experience after being diagnosed with the same rare form of lung cancer he has spent years treating.

Over the past several years, Dr. Camidge has continued mentoring physicians, contributing to cancer research and learning from his own experience as a patient. Along the way, he says his diagnosis has given him an even deeper understanding of what his patients face and strengthened his commitment to improving cancer care for those who come after him.

Today, he's focusing on what matters most, time with his teenage daughters, supporting the next generation of oncologists and continuing to ask the questions that may help shape the future of lung cancer care.

After diagnosing and treating lung cancer for decades, he now faces advanced non-smoking lung cancer, deepening his empathy for patients.

When Aazenet Marquez was diagnosed with colon cancer at 45, she was used to facing life’s challenges on her own. But through surgery, chemotherapy and a later diagnosis of metastatic liver cancer, she learned the importance of letting others support her.

In 2024, Aazenet attended a Nadie Lucha Sola event, where receiving a wig, a makeover and support from other women helped her through some of the difficult changes brought on by treatment. The experience meant so much that she returned as a volunteer to help other women facing cancer.

On Oct. 10, Nadie Lucha Sola will host a free event at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital with wigs, community resources, interpreter services and opportunities to connect.

The event is open to any woman with cancer, regardless of where she receives care or the type of cancer she has. Preregistration is required.

Cancer support for women can ease the challenges of treatment. Learn how support networks and language services connect women with resources.
