Today we’d like to introduce you to Simon Alvarez.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I devoted my life to medicine. I studied two careers related to health. First I studied veterinary medicine and then human medicine, in both careers. I was oriented to research for the prevention of chronic diseases, especially how our lifestyles could promote or prevent such diseases. Today I dedicate my life to translate the scientific and medical information that is often found in a language difficult to understand for the society that has not received a medical training and I translate it into a friendly language available to everyone, promoting education for health care in the general population.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I think that my biggest obstacle has been to face the misinformation or inadequate information that our society has set. We are facing a society that poses supposedly healthy fashion behaviors in food and lifestyle that are far from being really healthy. For example, we are in fitness era and many teenagers believe that a muscular or athletic body is synonymous with health, making them vulnerable to entering a world where products such as protein are abused, which can make them gain a muscular body but are putting their health at risk. Personally, I faced two great enemies in my life, the first was obesity when I was studying medicine and the second was cancer, and both I was able to overcome by personally facing me the greatest enemies in my life. The first was obesity when I studied medicine and the second was cancer, and both I could overcome thanks to my body and everything I needed through food so that my body did what it does best, survive.
Please tell us about Dr. Simòn Fit.
I currently have two companies Dr. Simon Fit and The Cocinita Miami, the first responsible for health education, and the second is a restaurant where dishes have been designed that meet all the requirements to be considered completely healthy and friendly to the environment. I am proud to listen to the people who follow my recommendations as their health has improved significantly in the short term, also when the people who go to my restaurant enjoy the pleasure of eating A hamburger that does not harm them, animals or the environment.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I would dare say with all responsibility that I would not change anything because life has taught me that even those things that at some point in my life consider very bad for me, today I consider them wrapped gifts. Because at some point I consider them as something terrible, but they ended up directly or indirectly forging today’s success.
