As a high-achieving woman, you’re juggling a lot of responsibilities.
You’ve broken barriers and stereotypes. Accomplished things that no one with your background, culture, or upbringing is expected to do. You knew you could make a big impact in this world, so you went out there and did it. And now you have a demanding role with a busy schedule and an endless to-do list.
Your achievements have come at a cost.
Overwhelm and stress are part of your daily routine, and it’s starting to show.
You dread going to the doctor, scared you’ll be told you have diabetes or some other disease that your entire family has. You were told to lose 10 lbs and instead are sure you’ve gained 15 and your blood pressure is high. You’ve tried their suggestions, you’ve tried things you’ve found online but it never lasts long.
You’re used to a way of living and in all reality, it’s hard to make lifestyle changes because your thinking patterns, your beliefs about who you are, what you’re capable of, and what is acceptable have been ingrained in you since birth—and that’s why lifestyle changes are so very difficult to make.
You may also have found that the diet and lifestyle recommendations you’ve come across by most healthcare professionals are unrealistic for your busy life, unappealing to your palate, don’t include foods from your culture, haven’t worked, and leave you feeling deprived, hopeless, isolated, or overwhelmed.
You know there is a better way—you just haven’t found the one that’s right for you.
Are you ready for a whole new approach to your health?
A holistic approach to your health that is aligned with your culture, your upbringing, your religious practices, and your lifestyle? Are you ready to learn how to create a healthy and sustainable work life balance? How to make these changes fit seamlessly into your everyday life?
I’m Dr. Alex Rosa.
As a healthcare provider, educator, wife, mother, and Latina I understand how hard it can be. I created SPICE because I was stressed out, physically unwell, overwhelmed, and tired of living, thinking, and being all the stereotypes and limitations that my Latin culture and religious upbringing had placed in my brain. It worked for me—and now I want to share it with you.
What is SPICE?
Does this feel familiar? You…
- are overwhelmed with to-do’s and responsibilities
- feel work life balance can never happen in today’s world
- want to feel more energetic, vital, joyful…and aren’t sure where to start
- have too many obligations and commitments that are keeping you from putting yourself first or sticking to anything longterm
- are dreading that next doctor visit and haven’t found the right practitioner that “gets you” and all you’ve had to go through
- would love to finally get yourself together but can’t quite seem to find the right person, method, or support…there’s something deeper holding you back…you just can’t quite put your finger on it
I get it. And you are in the right place. First, breathe. Quiet your mind for a moment. Hear the silence. Breathe again. Better? Ok, read on.
None of us is one-dimensional.
We all encompass the following:
- Spirituality: our search for purpose and meaning
- Physical: how vital, energetic, and strong we are
- Insight: how we learn and grow, our self awareness and intuition
- Career: how we create a professional life that reflects our calling and brings satisfaction
- Emotion: how we feel inside and how broadly we can express, experience and accept
I bet by now you have figured out where the name “SPICE” has come from?
SPICE was created with you in mind.
Why? Because I have been there. You need the support, tools, and processes that will help you accomplish what you want, all while understanding how your upbringing, culture, and lifestyle impact your preferences and decision making. (You can find out more about my story on the About page. )
Here is the tough reality…it is really, really hard to take a step back and make things happen differently in your life. A lack of time, energy, support, knowledge, and desire hold us down. And don’t forget breaking through cultural stereotypes, norms, and religious upbringing.
SPICE is focused on getting you results—because while theories are wonderful, results are so much better. Results that heal and nourish you from the inside out. Results that last a lifetime. I’m not what most people imagine as a traditional doctor, and I don’t practice healthcare in a traditional way. And that’s exactly what healthcare needs right now.
