Q and A with Claudia from Los Angeles, California
“My story is proof that it’s never too late to prioritize your health.”
Q: What are you passionate about?
A: I’m deeply passionate about my family and helping others.
I’m a mother of five (three adults and two teenagers), and a very proud grandmother. Family is the heart of everything I do.
My passion for helping people started early. As a child, I regularly checked on elderly neighbors to see if they needed help, sometimes just offering company.
I was especially close to my grandmother, my abuelita, who lived nearby. She taught me about natural and holistic remedies, how to make teas, use herbs, and listen to the body. Those moments shaped me deeply.
That passion led me into health care. I completed my general education and became certified in medical assisting and medical coding.
I’ve worked across many specialties, including urgent care, family practice, women’s health, pediatrics, urology, gastroenterology, and ambulatory surgery center business office management.
Throughout my adult life, family and friends often came to me for guidance on minor health concerns or natural remedies—always with respect for traditional medicine and knowing when professional care was needed.
Today, I’m passionate about sharing natural, high-quality wellness support that helps women feel their best, especially during midlife.
Q: What were your younger years like?
A: I had a modest but loving upbringing.
My parents provided everything we needed, and as the oldest of five siblings, I naturally became a caretaker and protector.
I was always active. I was a cheerleader in elementary school, jogged with my aunts and cousins as a teen, and worked out regularly in high school, including aerobics.
I also vividly remember my father waking up at 5 a.m. every morning to jog before work, his discipline left a lasting impression on me. All of these experiences shaped my lifelong appreciation for health, movement, family, and responsibility.
Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?
A: One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the importance of taking care of yourself. It’s easy to lose yourself while caring for everyone else, as a wife, mother, and working woman. I did that for many years.
In my 40s, I began noticing changes, weight gain, especially around my midsection, low energy, and feeling “off.” I knew I had to make a change before things worsened.
Nearly two years ago, I began my wellness journey. I started walking, making better food choices, incorporating prayer and quiet reflection, and supporting my body with high-quality cortisol and hormone-support supplements.
Today, I feel like myself again, more energized, present, and productive. My story is proof that it’s never too late to prioritize your health.
Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: To me, advocating for women means uplifting, empowering, and supporting them while honoring faith-based values.
Feminism can reflect mutual respect, humility, and love, encouraging women to thrive while treating men with dignity as well.
True empowerment is rooted in compassion, purpose, and honoring one another.
