Hey Friend!

When you think of Mediterranean foods do you only come up with gyros and souvlaki in your mind?  Does Mediterranean food conjure up a picture of a table with a plate of hummus with pita bread on the side and a backdrop of bright white Greek buildings and a clear blue sky?  While hummus, pita, gyros and souvlaki all are part of the Mediterranean cuisine (Egyptian, Lebanese, Greek, etc), the Mediterranean diet is a broader and a loose guideline based off of the Mediterranean cuisine.

In this episode, I will go over the details of what a Mediterranean diet looks like.  If you want clarity on what that looks like and how to implement it in your daily life, this is the episode for you!
