Mediterranean Heritage Diet

As in all cases of the Oldways-PT heritage diets, the Mediterranean option is based on a plethora of fruits and vegetables. From artichoke to avocado to sweet potato and shallot. Fragrance and flavors are abundant when building a meal out of the available ingredients.

I will be highlighting just a few of the possibilities you can make yourself with minimal skill level. These are nutrient-dense and robust dishes that will render your family satisfied and satiated. These options are sure to fit any budget while making any meal feel as elegant as dinner out on the town.

On the menu this month is:

Baked salmon with a beautifully crisped skin and fresh herb yogurt served encircled in a bed of broccoli and carrots, aside a fresh spring salad consisting of arugula, grapefruit, mint, cucumber, zucchini, lemon/EVOO/sea salt and black pepper.

Grilled chicken kebabs with peppers, red onion & zucchini with a sage basil marinade with garlic-rosemary brown butter baked mashed potatoes and fresh citrus salad and grilled bread on the side.

Whole Grain Pasta with Sardines and Greens (quick dish pick)

Savory Sizzling Chickpeas (snack of the week)

The Frugal Zulu

Healthy eating and fine cookery is not an expensive engagement. It is a matter of being aware of and learning how to source the best ingredients at the best price for the occasion and then being able to utilize them successfully in order to complete the task. By getting in touch with the sustenance that is most beneficial to our genetic makeup and microbiome, we can assure longevity and a high-quality health span. By sourcing our foods from local producers and preparing and enjoying those meals at home with our Tribe, we develop a loving culture around a foundational cornerstone of life. Sadly, this is something lost and forgotten in the modern household on a large scale.

As creatures on this earth we must understand the slow yet powerful process of evolution (.2% EVERY 20,000 YEARS FOR THE HUEMAN SPECIES), including how nothing escapes it; yet everything that is, benefits from it.  Our ancestors who contributed to our gut flora did not inhabit the land you most likely stand on today. Nor was their supper as far from “he who sowed the seed” as is the case today. Do not underestimate the magnitude of the transaction we have allowed to become standard: Trading sustainability and potency for ease of access.

My responsibility as Tribal Leader will be to eradicate the claims and crutches that limit and debilitate our community. Only through understanding who we are can we understand what we can become. There are many dietary lanes to align oneself with or fall victim to. My main concern is not to lead you toward any of them but to provide you with wholesome foundational insight, guidance, instruction and support for sourcing, shopping, prepping, cooking and plating: The simplistic approach to consistent success.

Why Choose The Healthy Hueman?

To achieve a sharp mind, able body and calm spirit.

These are the basic components of a healthy Hueman. To attain each of them in its totality is to master these individual elements and synchronize them. To implement each with efficiency at its proper time is to wield the power of your best self. Only through a wholistic approach can balance be achieved in the battles and bouts of life. By developing a seamless connection between mind, body and soul we can optimize our potential in each of these major areas of existence.

Knowledge is power and we can all achieve more elevation through education. If the goal is constructing concrete capabilities we should find something that will consistently compel us forth. An intention to root and anchor our selves to because in preparation for prosperity we must be aware of the tug and pull this life’s chaotic nature will bring. A healthy Hueman adheres to these principles of development when looking to optimize what they can bring out of themselves. We will take these same core principles and apply them to nutrition, fitness, recovery and mental wellness. I will enlighten and guide you in order to better understand how to maximally apply yourself in pursuit of your aspirations. Then we will organize a plan of action that best suits you based on our assessment of the new information acquired during our 1-1 sessions. By fixing our feet on the path and looking toward the summit we ensure success even when we stumble.

I will go above and beyond for your wholistic optimization if you are willing to commit.
