Bienvenides al podcast Protegiendo tu Nido! Protecting your Nest! Hola! Mi nombre es Brandon Hampton pero ustedes me conocen como el hijo mayor del doctor Tony Hampton. Hablo en nombre de mi papá en este episodio en español. Antes de saltarnos en el tema de hoy, quisiera aprovechar de la oportunidad de promover mi propio podcast Ritmos Negros. El podcast Ritmos Negros se trata de los origenes africanos y negros que hah influido a la musica y la danza del mundo como un foco en Latinoamerica y el Caribe. Vayan a cualquier app de podcast y por ahi busquen Ritmos Negros! De hecho, el próximo episodio se va a lanzar este fin de semana. Va a ser algo especial porque en ese episodio, hablamos de la comida sobre todo las influencias africanas en la cocina latina así que un tema bien parecido al tema de hoy. De todos modos, sin más preámbulos, empecemos! En las palabras de mi papá, usar el lenguaje de la salud metabólica es algo que hago intencionalmente principalmente para socializar el término y porque la mala salud metabólica está asociada con la mayoría de las llamadas condiciones médicas crónicas que sufrimos. Muchos han definido la mala salud metabólica como la falta de valores normales de circunferencia de cintura, triglicéridos, lipoproteína de alta densidad, presión arterial y glucosa en sangre. La buena noticia es que la mala salud metabólica es reversible con cambios en el estilo de vida. La mala noticia es que solo el 6.8% de la población estadounidense es metabólicamente saludable según la investigación realizada en la Universidad de Tufts. Peor aún es que algunos grupos étnicos se ven afectados a mayor escala. Por ejemplo, la diabetes es una enfermedad metabólica y, a lo largo de su vida, los adultos estadounidenses en general tienen un 40 % de posibilidades de desarrollar diabetes tipo 2. Pero si es un adulto hispano o latino, su probabilidad es de más del 50 % y es probable que la desarrolle a una edad más temprana. Las complicaciones de la diabetes también golpean más fuerte: las personas hispanas o latinas tienen tasas más altas de insuficiencia renal causada por la diabetes, así como la pérdida de la visión y la ceguera. Dado que el impacto no es igual, es fundamental que quienes compartan el mensaje curativo de la salud metabólica pertenezcan a comunidades que también representen a las comunidades más afectadas. Es por eso que estoy emocionado de hacer precisamente eso con la invitada de hoy. La invitada de hoy es María Grangeno. Maria Grangeno vive en San Antonio Texas y ha usado keto/ketovora/y carnívora para revertir su diabetes tipo 2 durante los últimos 10 años. En su vida anterior, reportó para Telemundo, pero ahora trabaja en el negocio de bienes raíces con su familia y su función principal es la de corredora de bienes raíces. Ahora es entrenadora con su nuevo pasatiempo ayudando a tantas personas como pueda a revertir la diabetes y lograr una salud metabólica. Ella espera especialmente llegar a la comunidad de habla hispana, muchos de los cuales no han escuchado los poderes curativos de la dieta baja en carbohidratos. Con eso María, te doy la bienvenida al podcast protegiendo tu NIDO. Preguntas de podcasts: En mi introducción, hablé sobre cómo ciertos grupos étnicos pueden verse afectados de manera diferente por una mala salud metabólica. Comencemos nuestra discusión hablando sobre el origen étnico de tu familia. Cuéntanos de tu cultura Cuando piensas en tu rica cultura, ¿qué aspectos te han servido positivamente en tu viaje de sanación y qué aspectos te han llevado a desafíos? Cuando le diagnosticaron diabetes, ¿qué emociones sentiste y cómo te enteraste? ¿Cuál fue el consejo inicial que le dieron sobre cómo tratar a la diabetes? ¿Cuándo decidiste que la solución para revertir la diabetes era consumir los alimentos que condujeron a la diabetes en primer lugar? ¿Qué cambios específicos enfrentaste y cómo los superaste? Un plato clave y alimento básico en muchas culturas es la combinación de los frijoles y el arroz. ¿Cómo trabajas con clientes cuya cultura se centra en estos alimentos ricos en almidón? Sé que deseas cambiar el mundo y también esperas iniciar una organización para difundir el mensaje curativo de la salud metabólica. ¿Qué planeas lograr? YouTube es bueno, pero puede que no siempre sea el mejor lugar para sentar las bases para ayudar a otros a aprender sobre la dieta baja en carbohidratos. Entonces, ¿hay otras fuentes de información? ¿Dónde aprendes tu información para que otros puedan hacer lo mismo? ¿Cuáles son tus reemplazos favoritos para los alimentos que se ajustan a tu cultura pero que no se ajustan a la dieta cetogénica? Cuando se trata de proteger tu NIDO o NEST, ¿en qué otras áreas esperas concentrarte durante los próximos 12 meses? ¿Cómo pueden mis seguidores conectarse contigo y tu trabajo?
