Ep 45 - The Diet Wars Part V - Mediterranean

In this episode of The Longevity Lounge, we dive into one of the most studied and celebrated eating patterns in the world: the Mediterranean diet. Is it truly the gold standard for health and longevity, or is it just another wellness trend inflated by the media?

Join Dr. Cherine and Dr. Mike as they unpack:

The historical roots and cultural lifestyle of Mediterranean living

What makes this diet unique beyond the food—community, movement, and slower living

Its proven benefits for cardiovascular health, cognitive decline, and inflammation

The truth about olive oil quality, yogurt myths, and protein pitfalls

Who this diet helps most—and who may need to modify it

How Mediterranean eating stacks up when it comes to gut health, insulin sensitivity, B12, and telomere preservation


They also offer personal insights on making this lifestyle work in a fast-paced modern world, especially in North America, and how to adapt it to support energy, hormone balance, and longevity—without compromising flavor or fun (yes, red wine is included!).
