BE All In is where ambition meets honesty. Born from years in emergency medicine and the weight of real life, this channel explores what it takes to build strength — inside and out. It’s not about hustle for the camera. It’s about the moments you’re ready to quit, and what happens when you don’t. Through raw conversations, fitness, and reflection, BE All In dives into mindset, discipline, and the pursuit of a life that actually feels alive. No shortcuts. No filters. Just truth, effort, and a reminder that becoming better is the only way forward.
We have more information about health, nutrition, and wellness than ever before. So why does staying healthy still feel so difficult?
In this episode of BE ALL IN with Raul Flores, I sit down with Angela Jenkins, RD/LD, a registered dietitian with over 30 years of experience and founder of Health Is Local.
Angela shares how her own unexpected health challenges changed the way she approaches nutrition and what it means to truly take care of ourselves.
We explore the hidden costs of modern convenience, our relationship with processed foods, the challenges of eating healthy on a budget, and the role our environment and communities play in our well-being.
We also discuss GLP-1 medications, environmental exposures, changing nutritional advice, and why there may not be a one-size-fits-all approach to health.
But this conversation goes beyond food. It's about personal responsibility, questioning what we've been taught, and finding a healthier way to live in a world that doesn't always make it easy.
Have we made life more convenient at the expense of our health?
Join us for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about food, health, and the choices that shape our lives.

Adversity Is a Terrible Thing to Waste
lost two jobs in one day. Then my car broke down.
I was in my early twenties, broke, angry, embarrassed, and walking five miles through the Texas heat toward an apartment I wasn't sure I could afford anymore.
Somewhere during that walk, the way I looked at life began to change.
This episode isn't about pretending everything happens for a reason—or repeating the cliché that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Sometimes terrible things happen. Sometimes we create our own problems. And sometimes both happen on the same day.
It's about what happens after adversity arrives.
I share that five-mile walk, my family's immigration story, my dad's cancer, lessons from working as a paramedic, and why I've become more careful about what we call “resilience.”
Maybe adversity itself isn't the gift.
Maybe the question is what we choose to carry forward from it.
Because once you've already paid for the lesson, it would be a terrible thing to leave it behind.
This is BE ALL IN.

The Lonely Chapter: You’re Not Who You Were Anymore
There’s a chapter in life where you’ve outgrown who you used to be, but you haven’t yet become who you’re trying to become.
That in-between season can feel lonely.
In this episode of BE ALL IN, I talk about what that looks like in my own life while building this podcast, working long hours in EMS, raising a family, and trying to create something that could eventually give me more freedom and control over my time.
This isn’t a “never quit” episode.
It’s about doing the work before there’s proof. It’s about ambition being bigger than your evidence. It’s about learning the difference between courage and recklessness, staying responsible to the people who matter most, and continuing to take the next honest step even when you don’t know how the story ends.
I also share what losing my identity in EMS taught me, why I no longer tie my worth to my profession or this podcast, and what I hope my daughters learn from watching me try.
If you’re in your own version of the lonely chapter right now, this episode is for you.
You are not alone.
