Regenerative & Comprehensive Health
We aim to improve the health of children and their families, the elderly and chronically ill, as well as individuals from all walks of life. Through our nutrition program, comprehensive and family care clinic, and program for the elderly and chronically ill, we strive to promote physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Child-family nutrition program

Program for the elderly and chronic patient
After the green revolution, our food systems have been transculturalized, this meant not only the commercialization of sacred food, but also its modification and appropriation, to the point that to maximize its production it has been contaminated with agrochemicals, without respect for animal life or food land. This has caused chaos in public health, and we see it clearly in the epidemic of food insecurity and child hunger, which has long-term consequences when in adulthood chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, kidney failure are suffered, among others. For this reason, the program for chronically ill patients is being worked on in an integrated way with the nutrition program, with the aim of strengthening people who suffer from these diseases, understanding their origin and the paths to recovery through a change in consumption and style of eating. We do it as follows:
-
Medical control and nutritional control
-
Regenerative food and cooking club
-
Regenerative agriculture workshops
-
Food sovereignty workshops
-
Group therapy and spiritual support
-
Community participation and organization
-
Strengthening identity through cultural relevance
-
Physical activity
-
Medicine delivery
-
Seed delivery
-
Evaluation and monitoring
Our goal is that patients are happy individuals, and that they seek the regeneration of their body, spirit and planetary consciousness of its consumption.
