From the Skies to the Jungle: The Story of NutraMedix
There’s something extraordinary about viewing the world from above — the rolling canopy of trees, the silver ribbons of rivers, the living, breathing tapestry of nature stretched out beneath you. From that vantage point, the world feels vast yet connected — a place of wonder, humility, and purpose.
It was this very perspective that shaped the founders of NutraMedix, Tim and Bertha Eaton.
Tim grew up with a passion for flight. In his twenties, he volunteered with a missionary aviation group, serving remote regions in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. By the mid-1980s, his work took him to Peru, where he was captivated by the breathtaking beauty — and the deep isolation — of the Amazon jungle.
Bertha, meanwhile, was born into a family of pilots in Peru. Her father held the highest recorded flight hours in the Peruvian Air Force, and she inherited both his adventurous spirit and his devotion to service.
Together, Tim and Bertha shared a vision: a life of adventure that would serve others.
Flying into remote jungle communities, they witnessed a striking contrast. On one hand, there was profound traditional knowledge — generations of healing wisdom preserved by indigenous peoples. On the other, there was deep poverty, malnutrition, and limited access to modern medical care.
It was in this meeting of worlds — between ancient tradition and urgent need — that the idea for NutraMedix began to take root.
Inspired by the verse from Revelation 22:2, “the leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations,” Tim and Bertha asked themselves: “What can we learn here, and how can we share it?”
Their answer became a mission — to bring the botanical wisdom of the Amazon to the wider world, in a way that honoured both the plants and the people who knew them best.
In the early 1990s, the Eatons moved to Florida, carrying with them the vision born in South America. They founded NutraMedix, a company built on two intertwined principles:
To produce high-quality herbal remedies rooted in indigenous knowledge.
To use the business itself as a vehicle for good — funding social, physical, and spiritual wellbeing in underserved communities.
They called it a “virtuous cycle” between the Americas — a flow of wisdom, resources, and compassion moving both ways.
Today, NutraMedix offers more than 60 herbal remedies and supports projects on six continents. Each product is crafted with care, guided by the same holistic values that shaped the company’s beginnings.
Our approach is comprehensive and conscientious — blending traditional plant knowledge with scientific rigor.
- Botanical experts and medical researchers collaborate with local field guides and tribal partners.
- Herbs are ethically sourced and sustainably harvested.
- Every product undergoes thorough testing and clinical research at major institutions.
Beyond product creation, NutraMedix remains committed to uplifting the communities and environments from which our remedies come. We ensure fair pay, respect for indigenous traditions, and biodiversity protection — helping ensure that both people and ecosystems thrive.
As the Eatons often reflect, every pilot must land eventually — and the view from the ground matters just as much as the view from the skies. NutraMedix exists to help people everywhere experience that grounded beauty: a life in balance, in health, and in harmony with nature.
