My Personal Journey
Dr. Katharina Mahadeva - MD & Integrative Nutrition Health Coach
Back in 2019, when I was an assistant professor to medical residents, I was juggling the overwhelming responsibilities of medicine, teaching, and leadership. I felt completely exhausted and was afraid that I was going down the same path as my diabetic patients - getting older and getting sick. I thought often of my grandmother who, after struggling with diabetes for many years, was ravaged by it, and I thought: "Oh my God, I don't want to end up like that!"
​
My husband is a fantastic cook and experienced hiker (a real nutrition bonanza there!). So, as we were planning our wedding that year, all the exhausting work of teaching, call duties, studying, and event planning brought me to my knees with severe strep throat just before the wedding. That’s when he told me: "Here is the plan, my love. Let's cook and eat like the Greeks!" What he meant was dusting off our cookbooks we had brought from Crete the year before. We started eating lots of fresh foods for best health of body, mind, and soul, enjoying the taste of nature and cooking together, and giving a big nod to his family roots.
​
Upgrading our cooking and food choices completely changed my life. I felt completely revitalized, feeling like I was 25 again! I have been pretty much unstoppable since then.
​
And of course, I started my own business through which I now want to share these life-changing strategies with you.
