Podcast – Mediterranean Diet: Top Myths with Dr. Steven Masley

Description: Between the latest online fads and the crazy media headlines, it’s easier than ever to get confused about your health. If you want to make better decisions about your health today so you can feel better and live longer, you’ve come to the right place.

 

The Mediterranean diet is considered the top diet in the world, but what exactly makes it so successful? How difficult is it to get started?  How expensive is it? There are many myths surrounding the Mediterranean diet that can confuse and complicate this highly effective method for losing weight and living longer, but on today’s episode we’re going to separate fact from fiction as we dive into the delicious details of the Mediterranean diet.

 

I’m joined by Dr. Steven Masley, a physician, nutritionist, trained chef, author and more to share his insights into the diet that is proven to help you lose weight, reduce the risk for heart disease and memory loss, and live longer. He shares some of the observations he made during his months of sailing through the Mediterranean, ideas for getting started including a basic shopping list and simple recipes, and ways that you can start to enjoy your relationship with food again. If you’re looking for a proven diet that is completely doable and sustainable (as well as delicious), you need to listen to this conversation with Dr. Steven Masley.
