In this episode, I sit down with Miriam to explore her powerful journey from a traditional upbringing in Spain to navigating health challenges in modern America—and ultimately finding a path to true healing. Miriam shares what it was like growing up in Spain, where life revolved around fresh, seasonal food, weekly market visits, and slow, intentional meals around the table. With fruits, vegetables, clean proteins, and daily movement built into her lifestyle, wellness wasn’t something she had to think about—it was simply how life was lived. (After this episode, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on what Miriam has coming next. She’s building something deeply rooted in her Spanish ancestry — sourcing traditional flour straight from Spain and bringing it into everyday kitchens in a whole new way. Have you ever wondered why so many people can enjoy bread in Europe, but feel different when they eat it in the U.S.? It’s not just the gluten, it’s how the grain is grown, the mineral-rich soil, and the way the flour is traditionally milled and prepared. Miriam is bringing this kind of wholesome, thoughtfully sourced flour from Spain into your kitchens, including gluten free options as well.Stay tuned… this is just the beginning.) Everything shifted when she came to the United States. She immediately felt the fast-paced energy and was struck by the culture around convenience—especially seeing long lines at fast food drive-thrus, with people rarely stepping out of their cars. Over time, she adopted these habits, not realizing the impact of ultra-processed foods, hidden chemicals, and a disconnected lifestyle. Years later, after building a beautiful life with her husband and daughters, Miriam faced a devastating loss that became a turning point. In the midst of grief, she began to recognize symptoms her body had been signaling for years. This ultimately led to a diagnosis of Lupus. Determined to heal, Miriam and her husband committed themselves to deep research—seeking not just symptom relief, but root-cause healing. Through this journey, she discovered foundational principles that support not only hormone balance, but overall physical and emotional health for women. In this conversation, Miriam shares: The contrast between traditional and modern lifestyles—and how it impacts health The hidden effects of fast-paced living and processed foods How grief and stress can reveal underlying imbalances Foundational steps to support hormones and whole-body healing Her mission to bring cleaner, nutrient-dense foods back into everyday life She’s now channeling her experience into a healing course and a product line featuring clean, nutrient-dense grains sourced from Spain, along with gluten-free flour options. We also touch on inspiration from the book How Not to Die by Michael Greger, as well as practical tools like the Daily Dozen app to support daily nutrition habits. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible—and often begins by returning to the basics.Connect with us!Cynthia @thehealingfoodMiriam @simplyhoneyhealth @stoneandgrains
