Permiso Protocol · Starts October 3
Twelve weeks with me, a family medicine doctor, for the woman who is tired of being tired. Each week we work on two things. One is the permission to want more. The other is a body with the energy to go get it.

“It has given me clarity as to what I want and that I have to put me first.”
Jesica · from my last program
In their words
“I was so tired no tenias ganas. I give to everyone but never do I give to myself.”
Program participant
“I struggled with saying what I truly want. Always a people pleaser. Now I’ve noticed I have said at least twice what I really want to do.”
Iris
“I’ve been able to block time from my schedule to really be involved in growing and giving myself more of what I’ve been missing because I have put others before me.”
Georgina Perez
These notes come from women two weeks into Chingona-Maxxing, my last group program. They are shared with permission. Every woman’s experience is her own.
Ganas
Ganas means you want something, and you have the energy to go after it. You likely know the year yours went away.
You did the smart things. You went to bed early and bought the vitamins. You got the blood work twice, and it came back normal both times. Normal labs are good news, but they did not give you your evenings back.
I saw this for years in the exam room. I could treat a lab number. I had no prescription for a woman who spent eleven years taking care of everyone else first. So I built this.
Do the math
Your hours
Say you lose two hours a night to scrolling that you call rest. That adds up to about 600 hours a year, which is fifteen work weeks of your own life.
Your plans
Think of the class you keep meaning to take, or the job you did not apply for. You have the skill. You just have nothing left at the hour when those things get done.
Your family
Your kids and your husband get what is left of you after everyone else is served. Nobody asked for leftovers.
How it works
Most programs pick one side. Mindset work alone gives you a big dream and no energy to chase it. Body work alone gives you more energy, and you spend all of it on other people.
So we do both in the same week, every week.
The twelve weeks
Weeks 1 to 3
You say who you are becoming, out loud and in plain words. Then we build your energy floor with steady sleep, protein at breakfast, morning light, and an honest look at alcohol. We add one thing at a time and take nothing away.
Goal by week 3One sentence about who you are becoming, with no hedging.
Weeks 4 to 6
You get permission to enjoy food again. We look at what you eat and when, and why you crash at four. We also look at what late coffee does to your sleep.
Goal by week 6An afternoon you do not need to be rescued from.
Weeks 7 to 9
You practice saying no. You get word for word scripts in English and Spanish for your mom, your boss, and your own guilt. We also start strength work with a plan small enough to keep.
Goal by week 9Two hours a week that are yours, on the calendar.
Weeks 10 to 12
You stop needing my permission and start giving it to yourself. We plan for the bad weeks, for travel, and for getting sick. You learn to get back on track without starting over.
Goal by week 12You name the thing you are starting and take the first step.
These are goals we work toward together. Every woman's twelve weeks will look different.
The offer
The risk is mine
Finish the first six weeks. Come to the calls, do the permission work, and build your energy floor. If nothing has changed by the end of week six, email me within seven days. Show me the work you did, and I will refund you in full.
I ask for the work first because the program only helps if you do it.
Why I built this
I was the doctor telling women to take care of themselves while I fell apart in private. Then five people I love died in three years. Two of them were my mother and my father.
I became my own patient. I was 80 pounds heavier and numb. I kept helping other people and did nothing to help myself. One day I saw that I had to take my own advice or stop giving it.
So I gave myself permission first. Then I built a body that could carry it, one small step at a time. The woman who came back was someone new.
That is why I made Permiso Protocol. I want you to choose yourself before life forces you to.
This is my own story, and it is not a promise. The program does not promise weight loss. Your twelve weeks will be your own.
Meet la doctora
Who teaches this
I am a board certified family medicine doctor. When I explain why protein at breakfast matters for your energy at four, you can trust it. You can also take it to your own doctor and ask about it.
This is teaching and coaching. It is not medical care. I will not diagnose you, treat you, or prescribe for you, on the calls or in the group. If you ask about your own condition, I will tell you to take it to your doctor. I will often tell you what to ask.
Before you decide
Saturday mornings, Central time, for twelve weeks. Our first call is Saturday, October 3. I picked Saturday because a weeknight call asks you to show up at the hour you have the least left. Every call is recorded, so a hard Saturday never costs you the lesson.
I know, and that is why you are here. We make small changes inside the life you already have. The first thing we build back is hours.
Some women do lose weight, but it is never the promise here. If weight loss is the only thing you want, this is the wrong program for you.
You will at some point, and the program expects it. The calls are recorded and the group stays open. The last phase is all about getting back on track without starting over.
Both, the way you live. I teach in English. The scripts and the words that carry the most weight come in both, because ganas does not translate.
You pay $497 through Stripe, and you get a receipt right away. Within a day you get a welcome email from me with what you need for week one. We start Saturday, October 3.
You can spend them the way you spent the last twelve. Or you can spend them with me and fourteen other women, working on the thing you keep putting off. There are fifteen seats, and we start Saturday, October 3.
