Send us Fan Mail

The Mediterranean Diet is constantly touted the “best” diet for everyone. And there are a lot of reasons why!

In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at why the Mediterranean diet became known as one of the “best diets” in the world, what the eating pattern actually gets right and how its history shaped the way we understand it today. We’re not here to dismiss the Mediterranean diet but we’re here to add some much-needed context and help us think about healthy eating beyond one culture, one menu, or one “best" eating pattern.
