The idea came a long time ago, when I started taking educational courses in schools for parents and caregivers of people with brain damage. The purpose was to improve the nutrition of these groups. I immediately realized that this education can be extended to the rest of the population to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of individuals and families if knowledge of science and cooking is properly applied at home.

The idea is to have free people who don’t need us and understand the body’s reactions and can have the necessary tools and do whatever they can to solve it.

How has the pandemic affected business? Traditionally, nutrition companies receive their customers personally. How was it working online only?

The truth is, not only did we notice it, but it was pretty cool. Many people started cooking at home because there was no other choice and they started to take care of themselves.

Is healthy eating a fad or a habit that already exists?
