Elizabeth BorelliElizabeth Borelli's journey into the world of nutrition and wellness began with a deep passion for understanding how diet affects our health-a passion sparked by overcoming her own struggles with food.While pursuing a degree in plant-based nutrition n 2013, she discovered the shocking role of the standard American diet (SAD) in driving the increasing rates of diet-related diseases. Frustrated by the misleading claims of even her favorite "healthy" and organic food brands, Elizabeth decided to take action and become a voice for change.In 2014, she published her first book, Beanalicious Living, with a bold vision to revolutionize the way people think about healthy eating by making it affordable and delicious.However, as low-carb diets like paleo gained traction, Elizabeth's message seemed to be drowned out, leaving her to wonder why the plant-forward eating patterns were often ignored. This frustration led her to explore new areas of coaching, including career transitions and stress management, but she couldn't shake the question: Why doesn't knowing how to reach your health goals lead to actually doing it?A chance visit to a local grocery store while vacationing in Italy in 2023 led to an aha moment. Surrounded by fresh-baked bread, vibrant produce, and locally sourced cheese, Elizabeth recognized the Mediterranean eating pattern, which is more than a diet; it's an entire lifestyle, one filled with pleasure, connection, and balance.Inspired by this epiphany and the striking contrast between the United States and Mediterranean countries in terms of health and diet, Elizabeth set out on a new mission to make the healthiest lifestyle focused on meeting the natural preference for pleasure and satisfaction essential for lasting change. Emotions don't go quietly! The secret lies in meeting our deepest needs instead of trying to ignore them.Through Tastes Like La Dolce Vita and popular Mediterranean lifestyle programs, she is excited to inspire others to rediscover the joy of food and reclaim health and vitality, one delicious meal at a time.
