#102 - Miri Pérez-Cabrero: “From MasterChef to Supervivientes: how my relationship with food changed”

Rocío Périz |

In this episode, we talk with Miri Pérez-Cabrero, known for her time on shows like MasterChef Spain and Supervivientes, about everything behind her relationship with food, her body, and her mind.

From her personal evolution to the extremes experienced in Supervivientes, Miri shares what is not usually talked about: real hunger, mental pressure, losing her period, or how the body stops responding when you push it to the limit.

An honest conversation about health, nutrition, and what happens when your body can no longer digest everything you are experiencing.
