In this episode, we're talking about health from a Filipino perspective.  When you feel under the weather, who do you call first? Your doctor, or your Lola (Lolo, Tita or Nanay) with their trusted list of home remedies? Join Anna and Razel yarn about the unique health journey of Filipino migrants. We're exploring everything from why a simple pack of Skyflakes was the universal cure to why we still swear by a good hilot, the soothing power of Vicks VapoRub for just about any ailment and the surprising remedies our grandmothers found in the pantry and from the garden. We dive into the cultural clashes, the comforting rituals, and the balancing act of respecting heritage while embracing modern medicine. This episode proves that for Filipinos, health isn't just about medicine—it's about family and heritage.Listen now! Subscribe! And join the conversation!
