Anna Rios is a Mexican-American registered dietitian who believes that nourishing your body shouldn't mean abandoning your heritage. In her Healthy Simple Mexican Dietitian podcast, she moves beyond generic diet advice to explore what health truly looks like within a cultural context.

This is a space for women, especially, to find empowerment and agency over their well-being, without compromise. Each heart-centered conversation in this podcast is designed to help you build a sustainable, joyful relationship with food that celebrates where you come from. Tune in for a blend of professional expertise and personal understanding that makes nutrition feel accessible, relevant, and deeply connected to your life.
