Guest Charmene “Mama Vega” Vega on “Sometimes You Have to Lose Yourself”

Charmène “Mama Vega” Vega is a fourth-generation nutritionist, chef, author, educator, podcaster, and international speaker whose life’s work sits at the crossroads of food, caregiving, education, and community healing. Long before building Mama Vega Enterprises, she spent decades in education, including special education, helping people grow, adapt, and succeed. Today, she brings that same teacher’s heart to wellness—making complex health ideas plain, practical, and usable in real life. Her work spans books, coaching, healthy cooking education, women’s empowerment, Blue Zones-aligned community wellness, and public conversations on issues ranging from caregiver burnout to ultra-processed foods and prevention. She is the author of Who Cares?: The Untold Truth About Caregiving and Self-Sacrifice, and her mission is simple but bold: help people nourish the body, protect the mind, honor their worth, and stop disappearing while taking care of everyone else.
