bsessed with nutrition and health. (I was the kid doing the 20-Minute Workout on our family room floor, and lecturing anyone within earshot about the evils of this new thing called "cholesterol"...can you guess which decade I grew up in?)

It was that passion that led me to a career in medicine as an MD, and I've now been a family doctor for 19+ years.

But here's my confession: as I got older, I didn't always practice what I'd preached.

I got lazy. The busier I got with work, and family, and life...the more I neglected my own health.

I wasn't eating great, I was skimping on sleep, and I certainly wasn't exercising regularly. And it caught up to me. Big time. It wasn't until I had a series of my own health challenges-3 separate bouts of different autoimmune illnesses within 5 years-that I decided it was time to make some serious changes to my own nutrition, and find the best possible lifestyle for myself.

I knew it was something I could figure out-I had learned how to research in med school, and I knew I had all the information at my fingertips. It was just a matter of doing some investigating.

Naturally, I began to examine the Mediterranean diet, since I have been in love with Europe for my entire adult life. (I backpacked solo throughout Europe for several weeks after I graduated from medical school--my graduation gift to myself--and since then have gone back repeatedly to travel throughout Europe, including plenty of time spent exploring the Mediterranean countries of France, Italy, and Greece.)

But once I started delving into the research, comparing the different diets and nutrition theories, I realized just how miraculous the Mediterranean diet was.

I adopted a Mediterranean-inspired diet and lifestyle myself and soon noticed major changes to my health and wellbeing. I lost the stubborn additional pounds I had gained after having kids (and acquiring a thyroid condition).

Plus, I was enjoying food more than ever, and it was all so ... easy and pleasurable.

It has now been 7 years since I've had any significant health challenges. I've felt healthier and more vibrant than ever before.

And that's what I want for you, too.
