Holistic Nourishment: The Mediterranean Diet and Approach to Nutrition, Moderation, and Mindset
EPISODE #9 — OCT 11, 2024
In this episode, I dive deep into the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes nutrient-rich, minimally processed foods. I start by discussing its origins and its impact on women’s holistic health: from gut health to metabolism and hormone balance. We explore the combination of macronutrients and micronutrients in this dietary approach, including complex carbs, high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and antioxidants — each essential for sustainable health. I highlight the importance of moderation with animal products, sweets, and alcohol. Lastly, I provide insights on how mindset and stress can affect your health, along with practical tips for enjoying life while nurturing your health.
