Have you ever had to deal with a difficult family illness? Are you caring for a loved one? Leticia Madrigal lost her father after suffering a heart attack caused by heatstroke. Years earlier her mom was told she had six months to live due to her unmanaged Type 2 Diabetes since then she’s transformed her health and her family’s health. It was during this difficult health encounter that she decided to Launch Ámate Ahora. She took this tragic event to be a voice for health in her community, and she will share with you how she was able to turn tragedy into power and peace of mind.
Love Yourself Now, Tomorrow May Be Too Late…

Ámate Ahora is mobilizing communities to come to terms with our family health history, to become health champions, eat healthy food, and be active. Empowering families to be proactive worldwide. This talk tells the story of how she became a champion for health and why you should too.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
