The Importance of Home Cooking and Avoiding Processed Foods

Welcome back to The EMPWR Podcast! This week, I’m sitting down with Amy Migdalia, a nutritional therapy practitioner and the founder of Restor3 Your Health, to dive into all things clean living—because what we put in and on our bodies matters more than we think.

Amy shares her journey from the fitness industry to becoming a passionate advocate for clean eating and non-toxic living. We break down the hidden dangers in everyday products, from seed oils and refined sugars to ultra-processed foods and household toxins, and why being mindful of these choices can make a huge difference in your overall well-being.

You’ll walk away with practical tips on how to swap out harmful products, make healthier nutrition choices, and find balance when it comes to diet, exercise, and hormone health.

If you’re looking to create a healthier home, fuel your body better, and make informed choices for long-term wellness, this episode is for you. Let’s get into it!

About Amy Migdalia:

I was and still am a Jesus-loving wife to my husband and mom to my children. Before that, I was a Texas-raised daughter of Cuban immigrants who loved to play sports, even playing in college, where I received a scholarship to play softball. When I was in college, that is when I thought I was not only healthy but also knew what “being healthy” really meant. I was sadly mistaken. By my sophomore year in college, I had gained a little weight and was dealing with newfound acne that began to plague my face.  I had never dealt with this before and just chalked it up to hitting puberty a little later than most girls.

By the time I reached grad school, (yes, I am an attorney who chose the stay-at-home mom life) I had had enough. My solution was to go on medication and enlist myself in a fitness show to get “healthier.”  My short round of Accutane, coupled with my extremely rigorous, competition diet, rendered me temporary results that I loved.  However, once the show was done and normal life and eating returned, I gained the weight back and still dealt with the same issues I had been dealing with prior.  

So, what did I do? Well, I ignored it. I got married, graduated from law and business school, moved out of state to be with my husband who plays in the NFL, and had children.

It wasn’t until around 9 months postpartum after having my second child that I realized I wasn’t as healthy as I had always thought. It was in that moment that I knew there had to be a better way, a sustainable way. There had to be answers and root causes of what was going on. I began to research and read every kind of book on health and wellness. Surprisingly, my journey began with my environment where I went around the house determined to swap just about every toxic product in our home for cleaner, non-toxic ones.  

Once I was in a good place with my environment, I started to learn about food and how healing and nourishing it could be. I began to notice real changes when I started to pay attention to the quality and sourcing of my foods and when I became intentional about putting real food in my body. I coupled that with proper supplementation and detox practices, and a year later I had lost all my baby weight, my face cleared up, my body felt great, and I had so much energy. To put it simply, I had my life back. It was filled with vitality. I wasn’t just surviving each day but looking forward to thriving each day (something I hope I can help you achieve as well!).
