MEET MAR

Born in the heart of Mexico City, Dr. María del Mar Rivero, also affectionately known to her mother and loved ones as “Mar,” is the Founder and Primary Physician of BonaVit.

From an early age, Mar has always felt a strong passion for helping others, a trait that she believes she inherited from her parents. They instilled in their seven children the values ​​of compassion and generosity, these principles have been Mar’s north star her whole life.

Diagnosed with thyroid problems in her youth, Mar experienced firsthand the limitations of a medical system that treats patients as mere sums of parts, without considering the need for a more holistic and integrative approach.

This personal experience impacted her deeply and led her to define her destiny: to become an outspoken advocate for preventive medicine focusing more on holistic and integrative treatments.

She began her medical studies at the School of Medicine from the University of Anáhuac in Mexico and then continued her specialization in Clinical Nutrition. Subsequently, she earned her Master's Degree in Clinical Nutrition from Columbia University in New York. Additionally, Rivero received a certification from the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), dedicating her practice to creating a more comprehensive and humane approach to healthcare, especially for the Hispanic community.

With the launch of BonaVitTM, her brand of high-quality and medical grade supplements, Dr. Mar has manifested the unique opportunity of taking her vision beyond the office. Today, she’s touching lives and empowering people on their journey towards improving their well-being. Rivero’s goal is to leave behind a legacy of love and solidarity for the patients she holds so close to her heart.

“This is not just a project; it is a call to make a significant change, one life at a time.”

In addition to taking care of her patients, Dr. Mar’s other passion is her family. She is a mother to 4 children and has been married for 9 years.
