  In *“[5 minutes with Ricardo Riskalla](https://www.ricardoriskalla.com/volumes/documents/the-editorialist/The-Editorialist-x-Ricardo-Riskalla.pdf)”*, **[The Editorialist](https://www.ricardoriskalla.com/media/category/the-editoralist)** profiles Master Trainer and wellness advocate Ricardo Riskalla, offering readers a glimpse into his philosophy, routines, and inspirations. The feature highlights Ricardo’s holistic approach to health — combining exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness — which he applies in his work with **models, actors, and elite athletes**.

Through the interview, Ricardo discusses his dedication to motivating clients by training alongside them, his aversion to coffee in favour of antioxidant-rich drinks, and his commitment to living naturally. He also shares insights into his work with **IMG Models**, where he promotes the idea that “models are now role models,” emphasising strength, health, and authenticity over unrealistic ideals. The piece captures Ricardo’s genuine passion for wellness, sustainability, and helping others become the best version of themselves.

Models now are role models; the age of unhealthy models is over.
