Bienvenida
Your abuela wasn't wrong. She just never got the science.
If you grew up with the remedios, the Vaporub, and being told to aguantar, you know the gap. Your family had words for what you felt. The doctor's office had no idea what they meant.
Susto is not just anxiety. Coraje is not just anger. Cansada en el alma is not just tired. There are real things happening in your body behind each one, and real things you can do.
That is what Mía Era is. The science of your doctor, explained by a family medicine physician who grew up with the same words you did.

Hi, I'm Dra. Amanda Perez
I grew up with the remedios too. The exhaustion, the numbness, the being told to aguantar, to just endure. There are real reasons for all of it. And real things you can do about it.
Board certified family medicine physician, with Mexican and Cheyenne roots. I spent years watching women leave the exam room with a papelito and zero answers. This is what I would have told them if the system had ever given me the time.
