Summary
The medication she began taking caused her to gain weight and lose her hair, two things that can spell the end of a career in TV, even for a multiple Emmy Award winner. Myriam thought that there had to be a better way.
Desperate and in one of the lowest points of her life, Myriam turned to a vegan diet and was stunned by the results! Her symptoms would soon disappear, and she regained her health.
She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share her incredible story.
Myriam was so inspired by her recovery that she produced a documentary about health and nutrition for the Hispanic community, Comida Como Cura. Since then she's heard from countless viewers who have improved their own health!
