Volunteer with Terra
We are a small, volunteer-run collective dedicated to terrain restoration. We teach a three-phase sequence of intermittent fasting, full-spectrum mineral salts, and broth from indigenous cattle. Our work is rooted in traditional African pastoral knowledge and supported by emerging research on autophagy, mineral metabolism, and gut health.
We have is a clear mission, a growing community of participants, and a commitment to honest, evidence-informed education. We are looking for a few people to help with research and case study writing.
Why Terra Exists
Chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome have reached epidemic levels across Africa and the world. The conventional approach focuses on managing symptoms with lifelong medication. Terra offers a different path: restoring the internal terrain so the body can regulate itself.
Our participants have documented significant improvements. Some have reversed conditions they were told were irreversible. We need to document these outcomes, organize the research that supports our approach, and make this knowledge accessible to more people.
Who We Are Looking For
You do not need years of experience. You need curiosity, attention to detail, and a few hours per week.
Ideal candidates include:
- Students in health sciences, nutrition, biology, journalism, or communications
- Early-career writers or researchers seeking experience and portfolio pieces
- Individuals interested in traditional food systems, metabolic health, or medical anthropology

Our Commitment to You
What we offer is real work that helps real people. Your case studies will be published. Your research summaries will be used. You will have a direct impact on Terra's ability to reach more participants and document more outcomes. If you want to build skills, gain experience, and contribute to a mission-driven collective, you have found the right place.
