When I was a kid, I was obsessed with nutrition and health.
I would love to help you achieve the kind of wellbeing you\'ve always dreamed of.
And that\'s what I want for you, too.
I\'ve felt healthier and more vibrant than ever before.
It has now been 7 years since I\'ve had any significant health challenges. easy and pleasurable.
Plus, I was enjoying food more than ever, and it was all so ...
I lost the stubborn additional pounds I had gained after having kids (and acquiring a thyroid condition).
I adopted a Mediterranean-inspired Diet and lifestyle myself and soon noticed major changes to my health and wellbeing. (I backpacked solo throughout Europe for several weeks after I graduated from medical school--my graduation gift to myself--and since then have gone back repeatedly to travel throughout Europe, including plenty of time spent exploring the Mediterranean countries of France, Italy, and Greece.) But once I started delving into the research, comparing the different diets and nutrition theories, I realized just how miraculous the Mediterranean Diet was.
Naturally, I began to examine the Mediterranean diet, since I have been in love with Europe for my entire adult life.
It was just a matter of doing some investigating.
I knew it was something I could figure out-I had learned how to research in med school, and I knew I had all the information at my fingertips.
It wasn\'t until I had a series of my own health challenges-3 separate bouts of different autoimmune illnesses within 5 years-that I decided it was time to make some serious changes to my own nutrition, and find the best possible lifestyle for myself.
Big time.
And it caught up to me.
I wasn\'t eating great, I was skimping on sleep, and I certainly wasn\'t exercising regularly.
The busier I got with work, and family, and life...the more I neglected my own health.
I got lazy.
But here\'s my confession: as I got older, I didn\'t always practice what I\'d preached. (I was the kid doing the 20-Minute Workout on our family room floor, and lecturing anyone within earshot about the evils of this new thing called cholesterol...can you guess which decade I grew up in?) It was that passion that led me to a career in medicine as an MD, and I\'ve now been a family doctor for 19+ years.
