We Can’t Afford to Get Sick Anymore: Why America’s Health Crisis Demands a Return to Ancestral Wellness

There is a truth most Americans feel deep in their bones but don’t say out loud:

Getting sick is becoming a luxury that fewer and fewer families can afford.

Healthcare has never been more expensive. Insurance premiums climb every year. Costs in 2026 are climbing to historic highs. Deductibles swallow paychecks. Prescription drugs cost more here than anywhere else in the world. And even with insurance, a single emergency room visit can financially sink a family.

We were raised to believe the healthcare system existed as a safety net — a place you could rely on in a crisis. Mentidas! Lies!

Today, that net has holes large enough for entire families to fall through.

So what do we do?

The Additive Epidemic: Why Our Food Is Getting Worse — Why Our Wellness Depends on Fighting Back

There’s a quiet crisis happening in the United States — sitting right there on our grocery shelves, hiding behind long ingredient lists, shiny packaging, and marketing buzzwords like “natural,” “wholesome,” and “heart healthy.”

A Creative’s 7 Intentions Self-Help Plan

An excerpt from A Creative’s Insights into Sales, Marketing, and PR
by Angel Zuniga Martinez

The Seven Steps

These Seven Steps hold the spirit of healthy living, connection, and personal responsibility towards reaching one’s full human potential:

1. Take Your Power: Acknowledge your internal locus of control and claim the areas of your life – physical, mental, and spiritual – where you have relinquished power to others. Remove toxins found in food, products, and your environment, affecting your mastery of yourself.

2. Align to Greater Energy: Accept that a force greater than your self-pride—be it God, the universe, or your highest best self—can help guide you to see better, think clearer, and be stronger.

3. Commit to Mastery: Dedicate your will and energy to healthy living and higher purpose, and trust that this alignment leads you to true and healthy domination of your destiny.

4. Face Your Shadow Side: Conduct an honest inventory of your behaviors, beliefs, and workflow patterns, embracing them as the first step towards transforming them to positive energy.

5. Own Up to and Transform Your Faults: Say, “My bad.” Admit your screw ups to yourself, your higher power, and a trusted confidant. Admit any shame that holds you captive. Seek wisdom from all three on how to grow from these experiences.

6. Strengthen and Refine: With humble confidence, ask for guidance from your higher power and subject matter experts to overcome your weaknesses, cultivate your strengths, and refine your character. Become the best version of yourself for you, your loved ones, and your story purpose.

7. Lead by Example: Practice daily self-awareness. Share your story with others, inspiring them to reclaim their own story and power. Community helps with accountability so continue to write and rewrite your own hopeful story ending. Remain rooted in balanced peace and wisdom.

What Is the Best Natural Energy Boost? Here’s What Actually Works (and Why)

You’re tired — not just sleepy, but worn out. You drink your morning coffee (maybe two), grab a snack, maybe a sugary “energy” drink later in the day… and still feel drained. Sound familiar?
Modern life has trained us to reach for fast fixes — caffeine, sugar, stimulants — but the truth is, they burn us out more than they build us up. Your body doesn’t need another jolt. It needs restoration.

At PuroMartinez™, we’ve been there — the long days, the creative sprints, the emotional weight that caffeine can’t fix. We’ve tested countless “energy” solutions, from herbal adaptogens to fasting rituals to fire ciders.
We’ve learned that real energy doesn’t come from what’s in a can — it comes from what your body recognizes as food, breath, and flow. So let’s break down what actually works — and what’s just marketing hype.

César Chávez: The Original Wellness Warrior Who Knew Food Justice Was Health Justice

¡Howdy familia! It’s Hispanic Heritage Month, and we’re talking about someone who understood that health starts with what we put in our bodies – and who has access to it. Meet César Chávez, the man who proved that fighting for good food is fighting for good health.

More Than Just a Labor Leader

Sure, you know César Chávez co-founded the United Farm Workers union. But did you know this vato was basically running the first community wellness program? While fighting for farmworkers’ rights, he was also fighting for their health, their families’ health, and access to nutritious food – things that directly impact our community today.

Chávez understood something that we at PuroMartinez™ live by: real wellness isn’t just about individual choices. It’s about having access to good, clean ingredients. It’s about knowing where your food comes from. It’s about communities taking care of each other.

From Barrio to Boardroom: How Dr. Antonia Novello Proved Our Abuelas Right About Natural Healing

¡Órale familia! Welcome to Hispanic Heritage Month at PuroMartinez™! This month, we’re celebrating the Latino warriors who paved the way in health and wellness – and trust us, their stories hit differently than your tía’s novelas.

Let’s talk about who probably would have approved of our SuperTonic: Dr. Antonia Novello, the first Latina Surgeon General of the United States. Born in Puerto Rico in 1944, she didn’t just break glass ceilings – she shattered them like your abuela breaking piñatas at birthday parties.

The Real Story Behind the Scrubs

Dr. Novello grew up knowing that healthcare wasn’t always accessible to our communities. Sound familiar? She witnessed firsthand how Latino families often relied on traditional remedies when doctors were too expensive or too far away.

Dr. Ildaura Murillo-Rohde: The Nurse Who Revolutionized Healthcare for Our Gente

¡Qué tal, familia! For Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re spotlighting someone who probably would have been your favorite nurse – the one who actually listened and made you feel better just by being there. Meet Dr. Ildaura Murillo-Rohde, the Panamanian powerhouse who changed nursing forever and proved that caring for people is both an art and a science.

The Nurse Who Saw What Others Missed

Born in Panama in 1920, Dr. Murillo-Rohde came to the U.S. and immediately noticed something that should have been obvious but somehow wasn’t: Latino patients were getting subpar care because healthcare providers didn’t understand our culture, our language, or our unique health challenges.

Instead of accepting this as “just how things are” (like we often do with our diabetes rates or that tío who refuses to go to the doctor), she decided to do something about it. In 1975, she founded the National Association of Hispanic Nurses. Revolutionary? Absolutely. Necessary? Como no!
