In this Christmas Eve episode, Jess and Wendy chat with dietitian Krystal Martinez to debunk a major diabetes myth: that you have to give up your cultural foods to manage blood sugar.

Krystal, a first-generation Mexican-American specializing in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, shares why staples like tortillas, rice, and beans belong on your plate. She offers practical tips for balancing meals during the holidays and beyond, covering portions, protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
