Meztli Becerril, 31 Founder, Cordova Nutrition Meztli Becerril, who goes by Mez, is a woman of many talents: health and wellness coach, founder of Cordova Nutrition, international dentist, volunteer, and lover of yoga, traveling, and live music. Mez has a passion for helping others, resulting in her dedication to volunteer dental mission work and her career at Cordova Nutrition. After dental school, Mez moved back to Memphis to reconnect with her family and herself in search of a way to give back to her community. After years of working long, grueling hours and consequently neglecting her health, Mez created Cordova Nutrition, a smoothie and juice bar serving energizing teas, protein-packed shakes, and refreshing acai bowls. With her welcoming energy and love for helping others become their best self, Mez has taken Cordova Nutrition from more than just a juice bar. It’s a place for customers to come together, connect, and feel inspired to invest in their wellness. Mez and her team have expanded their offerings from just healthy beverages and snacks to providing one-on-one coaching, fitness challenges, and wellness workshops for the Memphis community. Mez’s secret ingredient to her success? Her passion. As a foreign-trained dentist, her passion has always been to help others through health and wellness. She’s proud to now have the opportunity to help her community by educating them on the benefits of healthy teas and shake alternatives over sugary or highcalorie beverages. Her company has even joined the Healthier 901 movement, a powerful local initiative aimed at battling rising obesity rates in Memphis and improving our city’s overall wellness. Mez’s future plans consist of growing her team of wellness coaches and expanding her nutrition business to other communities. Her focus is to continue working with hospitals and other influential partners in the 901 to promote a healthier lifestyle.
