A healthier you? You're in the right place!

My husband and I live in Columbus, Ohio with our three kiddos, two lovely sheepdogs, and lately, several minnows my kids have scooped out of the neighborhood creek. There's never a dull moment, so please  know that a healthier you is possible no matter what is happening in your life.

Four years ago I learned I have a biomarker that increases my risk of heart disease. At first I was frozen by fear. Then I became a patient at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic's Preventive Cardiology Program. I've spent the past three years educating myself in partnership with their multidisciplinary clinic staff. Additionally, I've spent way too much time geeking out on evidence based research. I also earned the Health and Wellness: Designing a Sustainable Nutrition Plan certificate at Harvard Medical School. 

Last year, I was honored to receive the Wellcoaches Health Equity Scholarship, which supports my mission to expand access to health and wellness coaching for the LGBTQIA+ community. I recently completed the first module of the Wellcoaches Core Coach Training Program and look forward to continuing my journey toward becoming a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach.

Throughout this journey, one thing has become abundantly clear: the Mediterranean pattern of eating consistently produces the best long-term health outcomes. But figuring out how to actually eat this way wasn't nearly as straightforward as I expected. That's why I created Mediterranean for Life: to make healthy eating simple, delicious, and realistic for everyday life.

The Mediterranean Diet offers benefits far beyond heart health. It also helps protect your brain, may reduce the risk of certain cancers, and is associated with a longer, healthier life. No matter your genetics or where you're starting, adopting a Mediterranean pattern of eating can have meaningful benefits. At Mediterranean for Life, my goal is to make healthy eating not only nourishing, but absolutely delicious. After all, if we're in it for life, it better taste good!
