She shares why so many families from Latin America risk dangerous journeys to the U.S.—and how education becomes their "currency of love," the thing they're willing to sacrifice everything for.

In an age dominated by quick fixes, viral wellness trends, and one-size-fits-all solutions, a quieter truth is reclaiming its place: food remains one of our most powerful forms of medicine. There is a growing return to what ancient healing traditions have always understood—that nourishment is not just fuel, but a force capable of restoring balance, vitality, and even hope. Internationally recognized Certified Nutritionist Donnie Yance has long explored this connection. His work reveals how nourishing foods can activate protective genes, while poor dietary choices may switch on those linked to disease - shaping health outcomes over time. Central to his philosophy is the belief that a healthy relationship with food fosters a healthier relationship with ourselves. Yance is widely respected for his pioneering contributions to botanical and nutritional medicine, particularly in integrative cancer care.

Dr. Monti has been featured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Millionaire Matchmaker and more.
