Translating a Healthy Culture … Into a Culture of Health

“over 80% of coronary heart disease, 70% of stroke, and 90% of type 2 diabetes can be avoided by healthy food choices that are consistent with the traditional Mediterranean diet” (Willett 2006, Willett WC, The Mediterranean diet: science and practice. Public Health Nutr. 2006 Feb; 9(1A):105-10.)

The Mediterranean Diet Is Not Like ANY Diet

How You Think

Is determined

By

The assumptions

Of

Your Culture.


What do we believe? Fruit rollups is a fruit

And

cheddar goldfish

is a dairy product

Food is

Nothing more than

The sum of its

Molecular parts

Food is like gas in your car


We believe that … We don’t

have to taste it

We don’t even

have to enjoy it

We eat foods based on

the molecular

components, not

based on flavor


We believe that …

Love’s got NOTHING to do with it


Turns Out … Love has a LOT to do with it

Integrating With Food Service


As the Medical Director for PPG Industries globally, I would

like to take this opportunity to provide a recommendation for

Dr Will Clower and Mediterranean Wellness. Our work with

them has produced engagement and enthusiasm across

the company, at a level we have not witnessed before.

Site wellness leaders have commented that this is the best

wellness program they have ever had, and employees are

equally enthusiastic to make healthy lifestyle changes.

Additionally, we have found Mediterranean Wellness to be a

flexible partner, working with us to meet our specific needs

ahead of schedule and with professionalism. I cannot

recommend this wellness program more highly.

I would be happy to address any further questions that may

arise about PPG’s endorsement of this undertaking.

Yours truly,

Alberto M. Colombi M.D., M.P.H.
