👋 Intro
Bienvenidos a una nueva edición de The Insight Hub. En esta ocasión, un espacio donde caminar, alimentarse bien y conectar se convierten en medicina para el cuerpo y el alma. En esta entrega, te compartimos los momentos más inspiradores de nuestra última caminata Walk with a Doc y los aprendizajes del taller “Eat Well, Live Better” del pasado 3 de agosto. | Welcome to a new edition of The Insight Hub. This time, a space where walking, eating well, and meaningful connection become true medicine for body and soul. In this issue, we share highlights from our recent Walk with a Doc event and key takeaways from the “Eat Well, Live Better” workshop held on August 3. |
CAMINATA – WALK WITH A DOC
El pasado 26 de julio lideramos nuestra primera caminata Walk with a Doc en Melbourne, Victoria, un espacio abierto, gratuito e inclusivo donde hablamos de salud mientras caminábamos juntos.
Walk with a Doc es una iniciativa mundial creada por el cardiólogo Dr. David Sabgir, quien un día decidió invitar a sus pacientes a caminar con él en un parque. Desde entonces, esta red ha crecido a cientos de ciudades en todo el mundo, promoviendo el movimiento como una herramienta poderosa para prevenir enfermedades, mejorar la salud, conectarse con la naturaleza y fortalecer los lazos sociales.
👟 Durante la sesión, compartí una breve charla de salud acerca de los beneficios de caminar, propusimos un mini-reto de 7.000 pasos y, lo más importante, caminamos, conversamos y nos conectamos como comunidad.
💡 Lo especial de Walk with a Doc es que transformamos un simple paseo en una experiencia de bienestar integral.
On July 26, we hosted our very first Walk with a Doc event in Melbourne, Victoria — a free, inclusive community walk that brings together health conversations and physical activity in a fun, relaxed setting.
Walk with a Doc was founded by cardiologist Dr. David Sabgir, who invited his patients for a walk in a park back in 2005. What started as a local idea is now a global movement, with hundreds of walks taking place across the world — all promoting walking as medicine.
👟 At our walk, I shared a brief health talk about the benefits of walking, encouraged a mini 7,000-step challenge, and most importantly, walked and talked with participants to create space for connection, questions, and movement.
💡 What makes Walk with a Doc special is how we turn a simple walk into an opportunity for whole-person health.
👉 Si vives en Melbourne o alrededores, ¡te esperamos en las próximas caminatas mensuales! / If you're in Melbourne, we’d love to see you at the next walk!

TALLER/ WORKSHOP– EAT WELL, LIVE BETTER
💬 Dr. Edna’s Tip:
Recuerda: la alimentación saludable no se trata de restricciones, sino de elegir conscientemente alimentos que nos nutran, es una forma de cuidar nuestro cuerpo con cariño todos los días/ Remember: healthy eating isn’t dieting, it’s about mindful eating— it’s a daily act of self-care — Dr. Edna Correal
El pasado domingo 3 de agosto realizamos un taller que hace parte de la serie Aliméntate Bien, Vive Mejor. Exploramos dos temas principales: desayunos y almuerzos ideales para una nutrición saludable. 🔹 Desayuno: impulso para tu salud 🔹 Almuerzo sano  | On Sunday, August 3, we hosted one of our workshops in the series Eat Well, Live Better, where we focused on two topics: healthy breakfast and lunch. 🔹 Breakfast: A Health Boost 🔹 Healthy Lunch   |
An Evening With Dr Rangan Chatterjee
Dr Rangan Chatterjee visited Melbourne recently and I had the privilege to attend his event focused on building lasting changes.
His definition of someone who is thriving really resonated with me.
"Someone who UNDERSTANDS & OWNS their internal responses, intimately knows what they stand for, and lives each day in harmony with the person they know themselves to be." Dr Rangan Chatterjee
The definition includes three elements: Mindset, values and actions.
Are we living in alignment with our own values?
Dr. Chatterjee is well known for his work in lifestyle medicine and his best-selling books, the latest being Make Change That Lasts: 9 Simple Ways To Break Free From The Habits That Hold You Back.
