Weight loss & metabolic syndrome

This Is Not Just Another Weight Loss Program

Recent research has confirmed that excess weight is more than just an inconvenience—it is now recognized as a disease, and for good reason. Carrying extra weight significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, certain cancers, and mental health conditions. It also accelerates aging and shortens our healthspan—the number of years we live in good health.
If maintaining a healthy weight is as simple as eating fewer calories than we burn, why do so many people struggle with it? While diet and exercise are the key factors, very few overweight individuals can successfully achieve long-term weight loss through willpower alone.

The Science Behind Weight Gain

The reality is that we are genetically and hormonally wired to store fat. Our ancestors evolved to maximize energy storage for survival during lean seasons. And fat happened to be the most efficient nutrient for long-term energy reserves. However, in today’s world—where food is abundant and readily available—this evolutionary advantage has become a challenge.

A Sustainable Approach to Weight Loss

We understand this biological challenge. That’s why our program avoids extreme measures, such as prolonged fasting. Instead, we focus on gently rebalancing the body’s metabolic system by optimizing the gastrointestinal, circulatory, and lymphatic functions.
At the same time, we address chronic inflammation through a carefully designed vegan nutrition plan and supplement the process with a specialized weight-loss tea made from potent Mexican herbs.
By the end of the program, our patients leave with a comprehensive three-month naturopathic follow-up plan, along with practical knowledge and clear, actionable steps to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Total detox & liver cleansing

A unique program for cleansing the liver, blood, and vital organ systems from
pathogens, toxins, and waste buildup.

Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

  • Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Fatigue, weakness, lack of motivation
  • Skin rashes, acne
  • Psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis
  • Allergies
  • Hair loss and brittle nails
  • Metabolic syndrome (high cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure)
  • Apathy, anxiety
  • Mood swings, tearfulness
  • Brain fog, forgetfulness

Have you seen a doctor yet? Did it help? Many doctors of Western medicine focus on symptoms and pain relief. An allergist or
cardiologist may prescribe a course of pills, essentially teaching a person to live with illness.

The exact root of these symptoms may be, indeed, unclear. Ultra-processed food, microplastics, excessive organic chemical exposure, antibiotics, and parasites are common culprit. However, all of these disparate threats have one thing in common: they hurt our main waste management organ, the liver.

Liver contamination is a major reason for declining quality of life, weakened immunity, and the cause of cholecystitis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, myocardial infarction, chronic fatigue, allergies and mental disorders.

The essence of our cleansing method is to free the liver and the body from toxins, heavy metals, preservatives, and accumulated waste from parasites, pathogenic bacteria, and fungi, as well as toxins resulting from poor nutrition and prolonged medication use. Ss far as we know no other program focuses to this extend on the liver, as well as the bile ducts and pancreas.
We begin and conclude the program with blood and bile microscopy, allowing us to visually monitor progress. The lab blood tests before and after the program will quantify the results.
This unique program was originally developed in the 1980s by Academic Ashot Khachatryan and later refined by his son, Dr. Artyom Khachatryan. Protected by over 60 patents and certifications, it is exclusively available at Santa Maria. The typical program. lasts 2–3 weeks at Santa Maria, followed by a three-month at-home restoration protocol.

THIS PROGRAM WILL HELP WITH

  • Detox and cleansing of liver, gallbladder, kidneys and skin
  • Activation of liver functions and bile production
  • Boost of energy and vitality
  • Improved mood and well-being
  • Liver and kidney function restoration

A Pleasant Bonus

After the cleansing, you will experience body rejuvenation, stable and comfortable weight maintenance, improved skin quality and elasticity, and better sleep quality.

We are so confident in the results, that we will use an AI program to calculate biological age before and after.

Longevity & biohacking

Aging is a complex, multifaceted process that leads to a gradual decline in our fundamental biological functions during adulthood. Every one of us ages and eventually dies, and throughout history, no cure has been found to extend our maximum lifespan. However, the good news is that while we may not be able to live forever, we can significantly extend our healthspan—the period of life we enjoy free from major diseases and chronic pain. Through proper nutrition, regular exercise, and preventive medicine, we can add years of good health, and these solutions are readily available.

Healthspan can be measured and tracked over time. The most reliable indicator of healthspan is biological age—a single number reflecting the health of our key biological systems. AI-driven models calculate biological age using various biomarkers, including blood biochemistry, epigenetics, telomere length, and skin condition. The effectiveness of any therapy or health protocol can be assessed by measuring changes in biological age before and after treatment.

At Santa Maria, we do just that—and we are proud to report that our 10- to 14-day health program reduces biological age by an average of 6.4 years. This is a highly significant improvement.
Our longevity program is designed to reduce chronic inflammation, detoxify the body, and enhance natural defense mechanisms. Best described as a biohacking protocol, it incorporates cutting-edge biophysics and physiotherapy treatments, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, ozone therapy, hypoxic-hyperoxic training, intravenous laser treatments, and more. The program concludes with optional stem cell and PRP therapy, offering an additional boost to rejuvenation and long-term wellness.
