Amate: Love Yourself
Wellness Team
Meet Our Nutritionist: Maria Jimenez
“Hello everyone! My name is Maria Jimenez and I am a Clinical Nutritionist from the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and since I graduated I have tried to keep myself constantly updated with courses, congresses and diploma courses, among them the Diploma as a diabetes educator by the Mexican Diabetes Association.
My goal for anyone who asks for my support is to prevent complications and diseases with nutritional education in a timely manner, reminding you that you are still in time to avoid surgery or start taking a large list of medications, a good diet according to your needs can prevent all that since it is never too late to start healthy habits.
I love being a nutritionist and I keep learning every day to provide the best treatment and service to each of my patients.”
