We offer video lectures and texts that contain everything you need to improve your HEALTH once and for all. a STEP BY STEP guide to all the knowledge you need to improve your health.
Before going through the step-by-step process, it's important to understand why most people's health has gotten so much worse in recent years, especially after 2020 with the pandemic. This helps you recognize where you're going wrong today and why you need to act differently going forward.
Why has the HEALTH of the majority been bad since 2020, since the pandemic?
Laziness to seek out good knowledge and apply it to routine
Poor lifestyle habits
Metabolic triad: processed foods + insulin resistance + chronic inflammation
Hormonal disorders, especially involving cortisol and chronic stress
Multisystemic impacts of the pandemic (protein spike by the disease and “experimental immunizers”; damage to physical, mental/social and spiritual health; discontinuity of prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and care)
✅ Health system paradigm: focus on treatment rather than prevention, misinformation and polypharmacy (overuse of medicines)
Excessive exposure to screens and information, especially low-quality information
With that clear, the STEP BY STEP you'll find below will make a lot more sense, because it's designed precisely to help you correct these factors and rebuild your health on a solid footing.
With that clear, the STEP BY STEP you'll find below will make a lot more sense - but before you follow it, it's essential that you have the right map at hand.
That's why I'm making the book available for free Master Your Health, which brings together in a simple and straightforward way the practical principles and essential guidelines that my best patients have applied to transform their health. It acts as an initial, objective and applicable guide to help you understand where to start, what to adjust first and how to evolve consistently.
With it, you'll have the foundation you need to make the most of what follows - which isn't just “more content”, but a way of going deeper into the same fundamentals as the book, exploring each topic in more detail, with examples and practical ways. Many of the links and recommendations presented below also appear within the book, organized to make them easier to implement on a daily basis.
After reading this map, it's also worth watching my most recent video on why so many people put off check-ups and prevention. This content delves into one of the first adjustments you'll need to make when applying the habits in the book: overcoming the tendency to put off basic care and understanding, in a clear and objective way, how the lack of prevention and regular follow-up silently compromises your health over the years.
In the video, I explain the main mechanisms of self-sabotage, the fears and beliefs that make most people neglect the obvious - even though they know what they should do - and I show why this initial change is essential for the rest of the step-by-step process to really work.
And after watching this video on prevention, I recommend you also watch the lesson “Success with HEALTH is Sustainable Success”.
It deepens an essential idea for everything you will start to build from now on: there is no lasting success - in any area of life - without sufficient health to sustain it.
In this lesson, I show you in a practical way how health directly influences your productivity, your ability to achieve, your mental clarity, your well-being and even the way you enjoy your achievements. It's content to broaden your perspective and prepare you to apply everything in this post and in the book with much more awareness.
Now you can count on a wide and diverse selection of articles, full of enriching videos and texts, which will help you deepen your knowledge of the various ways to improve your health.

Now that we are making progress in improving our health, we may need to adjust hormones and neurotransmitters (modulation: raising the levels of those that are low and helping to reduce those that are too high).
