In this episode of Dia-Logue: The Diapoint Podcast, Pam speaks with Yonca Tokbaş and Ayşen Gilroy about the foundation of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil.
They discuss everything from harvesting to production, storage, and how to use it.
Ayşen Gilroy is a passionate olive oil entrepreneur with a profound love for the Aegean Region's liquid gold. Her and her family-owned olive oil business journey began with a deep appreciation for olive oil’s rich history, health benefits, and culinary versatility.
Their journey began with a small grove and a dream, and today, their olive oil is celebrated for its impeccable taste and uncompromising quality. Their dedication to excellence was recently recognized when The Gilroy’s was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal at the 16th National Natural Cold Pressed Olive Oil Competition organized by The Friends of Olives Association. This is a testament to the uncompromising quality and exceptional taste of their olive oil.
But that's not all. Ayşen's talents extend beyond the olive groves. She's also a culinary virtuoso, she is an amazing chef and the creative force behind The Gilroy Cookbook https://www.instagram.com/thegilroycookbook/?hl=en - a guide to beautiful healthy food and entertaining. This was created from her experience as a chef and owner of a boutique cafe.
Yonca Tokbaş’s love of olive trees and olive oil comes from her grandfather who owned olive groves and produced olive oil in the Muğla region in Turkey. The ancient, wise and natural way of communal work for the olive oil business inspired many of her passions and for her to continue this journey.
She started her own olive oil brand and business 10 years ago in her small garden, with just 10 olive trees. With a certification in Permaculture Design, she now owns a grove in Şenköy, which is a Turkish village famous for its organic olive groves.
Her 2022 olive oil was awarded a gold medal and the 2023 harvest olive oil special series named HOPE has a record level of 1,041 polyphenol.
Aysen and Yonca are both partner members of Bafa Natural Life Agricultural Production and Marketing Cooperative which was founded in 2019 to bring together the agricultural power and unique ecosystem of the region under the roof of a new-generation production cooperative.

In this episode, we'll dive into the thought-provoking, controversial world of using diabetes drugs for weight loss.
It all started when Dr. Oz, an American talk show host, introduced Ozempic, a medication designed for diabetes management, to the world back in 2021 as a solution for weight loss. Since then it has become very popular. The promise of shedding pounds effortlessly led to a surge in demand that eventually caused a shortage of the drug.
We're going deeper into the story and learn what's behind this frenzy, and more importantly, what are the potential risks and rewards?
In today's episode, we have a special guest, Ali Hashemi, the Co-founder of meta[bolic] and GluCare.Health, to help us unravel the mysteries of using diabetes drugs for weight loss.
Society is on the hunt for a magic pill, a shortcut to the body they desire. But the question that looms large is this: Is it truly worth it? Is it safe?
