Raven Pauley didn’t plan to change her lifestyle. It happened because her health finally made her stop and pay attention. She realized she was running through life, eating whatever fit into her schedule, not whatever supported her well-being. At some point it became clear something had to change.
She started reading everything she could find—articles, books, research—and attended lectures that helped her understand how food actually affects the body. None of it happened overnight. It took time, mistakes, and patience. Eventually, she came across the Mediterranean diet. What surprised her the most was how natural it felt. No extreme rules, no guilt, no “perfect days.” It was simply real food, simple meals, and flavors that reminded her what eating should feel like.
Bit by bit, she noticed improvements: more energy, a clearer mind, and less stress around food. The kitchen stopped being a place of “what should I eat now” and became something lighter and more enjoyable.
