Go Beyond Ancestral

  • Ditch Dietary Dogma

    No one diet is best for everyone. Learning to pay attention to the subjective cues your body gives you in response to foods is crucial in allowing you to reach your health goals.

  • Beyond Ancestral Guidelines

    Rather than a strict diet, our nutritional philosophy serves as a framework for diet, giving you the freedom to choose the foods you know and love, AND can stick to long term.

  • The Importance of Metabolic Health

    Why it matters for weight loss, brain health, cognitive performance, and chronic disease risk, and how to become more metabolically healthy as well as metabolically flexible

  • Gut Health and Digestion

    Like Hippocrates said, "All disease begins in the gut". You'll learn to identify the stressors which aggravate our digestive systems and what research shows about restoring the gut lining as well as targeting the gut microbiome.

Testimonials

Ana B.

This is one of the best courses i’ve taken on how to have a healthy life. Each lesson is kept to a short time, which is great for my info digestion. Jorge knows what he is talking about and makes it very easy to understand. If you want a new, healthy life style this course is everything you need!

Jorge was my health coach at Hacienda del Sol. I was lucky enough to have 4 sessions with him during my week stay at the resort. I learned a lot from him. He went the extra mile and did all the research needed to give thoughtful science-based answers to my questions.
