"El tubo digestivo es la mayor superficie de conexión con el exterior", Dra. Malena García Arredondo

Digestive health has a much greater impact on our daily well-being than we realize. In this episode of 'My First Program,' María José Peláez talks with Dr. Malena García Arredondo, a specialist in Digestive Diseases and director of MGA Healthy Digest, an Advanced and Comprehensive Gastroenterology Unit. During the interview, we learn how this project was born in 2021 and discover its innovative approach, based on comprehensive patient care. We discuss the importance of gut health, the role of a team of highly specialized gastroenterologists, and how a holistic view of the digestive system can improve quality of life and overall well-being. "The pandemic was a turning point. I knew I couldn't continue practicing in that way, so I started my private practice," she told us. "I was looking for an environment that would allow me to dedicate time to my patients." An essential conversation to understand why taking care of our digestive system is key to our health.
