Youtuber, with more than 362,000 followers, with 7 feature length documentaries published on the channel, with “Fasting the surgery of nature” reaching approximately one and a half million views. For 16 years he has lived on an exclusively raw diet and for 13 years he has coordinated Saúde Frugal, teaching how to obtain health by living healthily, using a whole, raw diet based on a frugivore diet, sun, sleep, physical exercises and reintegration with the laws of nature .

At the age of 22 he was diabetic, obese, suffering from gastrointestinal, immunological, respiratory and inflammatory problems, scheduled for surgery for a herniated disc and a deviated septum. He reversed his illnesses and surgical needs through the hygienist lifestyle, a type of lifestyle medicine that advocates health for healthy living. Have been practicing long water fasts and intermittent fasting for 16 years, having already done several long fasts, one of them 39 days with only water in a fasting institution in Costa Rica.
I advocate that health is produced by healthy living and aims to help everyone reach their full potential, through healthy living that provides the biological requirements for the human organism to thrive! That the focus of patient care, medicine and nutrition should be first and foremost on a lifestyle and a natural diet, rich in fresh, raw, mature, whole plants. Saudefrugal.com.br
