When Anna Schraff was in her 30s, she got a wake-up call: lab results showed elevated protein markers indicating increased risk for heart disease. Instead of accepting the verdict, she committed to change — and she discovered the power of a Mediterranean-style approach not just for diet, but for overall life transformation.
In this episode, Anna shares her personal journey of fear, resistance, and radical reinvention. We’ll talk about how she rebuilt her health one meal, one habit, one mindset shift at a time — and how she now helps others via Mediterranean for Life to reclaim vitality, balance, and long-term well-being.
You’ll get a mix of science, strategy, and lived wisdom — from how to read your biomarkers, to the emotional challenges of changing deeply ingrained habits, to building a life that supports your heart in every way. Whether listeners are battling weight gain, inflammation, genetic flags, or simply seeking more health in their later decades, this conversation will offer clarity, tools, and hope.
