the science, in plain Spanish
Real doctor. Real science. Not medical advice, and never a substitute for your own physician.
La Carta de Permiso · 7 days
Here's what lands in your inbox.
Seven letters, one a day. Each one: the science in three sentences, a permiso written like a prescription and signed by your doctora, and one step you can take in five minutes.
-
01
You're allowed to be tired without earning your rest first.
Sin ganártelo primero, without earning it first.
-
02
Numbness isn't weakness. It's evidence something asked too much, for too long.
No es debilidad, it isn't weakness.
-
03
Wanting isn't selfish. It's what a healthy brain does when nobody is overriding it.
Querer no es egoísmo, wanting isn't selfish.
-
04
Saying no doesn't make you bad. It makes you bordered.
Una mujer con límites, a woman with limits.
-
05
She's not gone. She's been waiting for you to come back and remember her.
Aquí sigue, she's still here.
-
06
You don't owe anyone a backstory before you change.
Sin explicaciones, no backstory owed.
-
07
What you choose for yourself, you choose for her.
Para ella también, for her too.
And after the seven days? You stay in Mía Era: hormones, perimenopause, and reinvention, la ciencia de tu doctora, the science of your doctor, with more sazón.
El permiso · The permission
You don't need permission. Aquí está de todos modos, here it is anyway.
They taught you to aguantar, to endure. To put your body last. To confuse exhaustion with virtue. Mía Era is the opposite of la rutina, the routine: a permiso, a permission slip signed by a physician, to understand what your body is actually doing and to do something about it.
Te elijo. Ahora tú.
La doctora
Dra. Amanda Perez, MD
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 (ABFM), with Mexican and Cheyenne roots. I spent years watching women like you leave the exam room with a papelito, a little slip of paper, and zero answers. Mía Era is what I would have told them if the system had ever given me the time.
Con más sazón, y esta vez, con tiempo. With more sazón, and this time, with time.
Empieza. Start your Mía era.
Your email. La primera carta, the first letter, today. The rest we build juntas, together.
