How do you honor your cultural roots while living a healthy, plant-based lifestyle? Can traditional Latin and Caribbean dishes be both healing and flavorful, without meat or dairy?
In this powerful episode, we sit down with Karla Salinari, also known as The Latina Health Coach, to explore the intersection of culture, wellness, and plant-based nutrition. Karla is a Certified Holistic Health Coach, Nutrition Educator, Speaker, and Author of Abuela’s Plant-Based Kitchen (Simon & Schuster).
She helps people reclaim their cultural identity through food by transforming traditional recipes into vibrant, plant-based meals. If you’re interested in plant-based cooking, LatinX wellness, chronic disease prevention, or simply love healthy, flavorful food inspired by Latin and Caribbean heritage, this episode is for you.
