Our Story

Maru Davila is a celebrity CHEF, nutritionist, and best-selling author of “The Mexican Food Diet™”

Healthy eating became her passion when a personal health scare showed her how much diet can affect one’s physical and emotional well-being. This is how her wellness journey began. She invested years learning about food and nutrition and studied the science behind the “Food as Medicine” movement. To her surprise and delight, many ingredients commonly used in Mexican cooking are classified as Superfoods: meaning foods that are nutrient-dense, high in health benefits, and low in calories.

Health Chef Maru began creating The Mexican Food Diet™ based on the fresh and healthy ingredients that went into the foods she ate as a child growing up in Mexico City. She continued to perfect her recipes and diet framework to help her private clients heal from a lifetime of bad habits and not-so-healthy eating to achieve their best selves.

ROOTED IN HEALTH

After working with hundreds of people, Maru realized that lack of time, easy-to-follow recipes, and consistency in taste was the #1 reason her clients slipped back into unhealthy eating habits, even after having been wildly successful in her programs.

She also knew from her own experience with decades of yo-yo dieting and weight struggles that deprivation or restricted diets were a perfect recipe for failure, and eventually health damage (physical and emotional).

That’s when she decided she could do more to help people create a sustainable, satisfying, healthy lifestyle, and HEROICA! MexiCo. was born. ¡SALUD!

HEROICA! MexiCo. is the end product of years of effort Health Chef Maru spent curating and adapting her family’s most cherished traditional Mexican food recipes into the healthiest and most flavorful versions possible. Her ultimate goal was to create a line of healthy Mexican foods that are every bit as satisfying and delicious as traditional Mexican food, without the empty calories or ingredients that can compromise your health.
