BIO - Ana Bueno | Buenoseeds

HI, I AM ANA BUENO,

My approach to nutrition is rooted in studies showing the significant impact of our eating habits on our overall health. Embracing whole-food eating habits, free of processed and refined ingredients, can unlock the potential for deep cellular regeneration.

There was a time in my life when I felt disconnected from myself. Despite everything seeming fine, I realized I needed to make lifestyle changes. I was numb due to excessive work, food, alcohol, and entertainment. I eventually realized that if I didn't make changes, I would suffer the same fate as others.

After experiencing a lot of pain, I made a shift, and my eating habits changed as well. I lost 20 pounds of excess weight that I didn't even know I had, my skin started to glow after years of adult acne, my bowel movements normalized, a chronic condition disappeared, and my nails stopped breaking. Many positive changes occurred.

I took two sabbatical years and traveled the world to study other cultures' relationship with food and how they use it to nurture. When I returned to the United States, I was dedicated to learning about nutrition and understood the value of food in its entirety, the role of empowerment to help cure diseases, alleviate symptoms, and calm the mind and soul to help others achieve what I did achieve for myself, self-love at a deeper level, where you consciously chose what goes to your body and longevity aligned with wellbeing.

My passion for food started in childhood, influenced by the wisdom of my native Brazilian Indian grandmother, who shared the secrets and magic of foods, herbs, and spices from our ancient culture. This passion grew during my decade of experience in the hospitality industry, including working at Michelin-starred restaurants such as El Cielo in Miami, Florida. I merged my business background, chef skills, and nutrition knowledge to give birth to Buenoseeds Nutrition and help others on the journey of better health using delicious and nutritious foods and lifestyle suggestions to support longevity and joyful life.
