Ep 75. Healing, Hormones, and Unlearning Survival Mode w/ Naihomy Jerez

If you’ve spent years pushing through exhaustion, ignoring pain, or waiting for life to “slow down” before taking care of yourself—you might still be in survival mode.

Survival mode isn’t just about stress. It changes your hormones, drains your energy, and makes it harder to stick to any kind of health routine.

That’s why I invited Naihomy Jerez, certified integrative nutrition and hormone health coach, to share her approach to helping women of color heal their bodies and feel confident—without restriction, burnout, or losing their cultural foods.

Her journey began after the birth of her second son, when she decided to ditch the “bounce back” pressure, buy clothes that fit her body now, and learn how to work with her body instead of against it. Today, she’s helping women across the country do the same.

You’ll learn:

• The signs your body is stuck in survival mode—and how to shift out of it
• The small, practical steps that help you feel better fast
• Why health changes stick when you stop punishing yourself
• How to create a routine you can sustain for years, not weeks

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to take care of yourself, this conversation will help you see that you can start now—without overhauling your entire life.
