Blanca García-Orea Haro, known on social media as Blanca Nutri (@blancanutri), is a clinical nutritionist specializing in digestive and hormonal nutrition, and holds a master's degree in Human Microbiota. She is also a communicator and the author of several books on nutrition, microbiota, and wellness, including Dime qué comes y te diré qué bacterias tienes (Tell Me What You Eat and I'll Tell You What Bacteria You Have) and, more recently, 5 semanas para desinflamarte (5 Weeks to Reduce Your Inflammation). In this episode, we ask: what happens when you feel like you are eating well, exercising, and taking care of your habits, but your body still isn't responding? We talk about everything that can be behind that feeling: inflammation, rest, food cravings, insulin resistance, SIBO, lipedema, diet, and the impact our habits and environment have on us. We also delve into some of the major current debates surrounding nutrition: the rise of GLP-1s, the excess of ultra-processed foods, low-carb diets, endocrine disruptors, and the amount of information—and misinformation—about health that we find on social media. A conversation to understand that health does not depend on a single variable and that, often, before looking for a quick fix, we need to learn to listen to what our body is telling us.
