“Steps to a Healthy You” is a 4-session class series focused on eating a healthy Mediterranean-style eating pattern (a.k.a. eating the Med Way). Sessions focus on the 7 Simple Steps to Eating the Med Way. Each session explores 1-2 simple steps, a mindfulness skill, and features Med Way recipes from www.medinsteadofmeds.com.
