A Mediterranean Way of Eating
Eating for your brain and gut doesn’t call for a new way of cooking. The recipes in this book come out of the Mediterranean tradition, where meals are built around vegetables, legumes, whole grains, olive oil and fish, and where eating is something you do with other people, slowly.
The science behind them is the brain-gut system, the two-way communication between your brain, your gut and the microbes that live there. The fiber and polyphenols in plant-rich dishes feed those microbes, and the compounds the microbes make go on to influence how you think and feel.
The 55+ meals here are a practical way to put that into your week. They’re also easier on the environment than a meat-heavy plate, which is the One Health idea: what’s good for your body and mind tends to be good for the planet too.
55+ Mediterranean-inspired recipes that are simple, flavorful, and designed for everyday cooking.
Plant-forward dishes built on real, wholesome ingredients—easy to find, easy to cook, and a pleasure to eat.
A practical guide to eating in a way that supports digestion, energy, and long-term health.
Rooted in sustainable and mindful food principles, from local produce to eco-friendly seafood.
Created by Dr. Emeran Mayer, bringing timeless culinary traditions and modern lifestyle wisdom into one beautiful book.
Designed to pair perfectly with high-polyphenol Extra Virgin Olive Oil, used throughout the recipes for its depth, nutrition, and unmistakable flavor.
Committed to Science, Not Trends
Wellness has been overtaken by influencers and self-proclaimed gurus, most of them working without a scientific foundation. Meanwhile the real research on the brain-gut connection, polyphenols, and the microbiome sits locked in academic journals where almost no one reads it.
Mayer Nutrition exists to close that gap. Founded by Dr. Emeran Mayer, a gastroenterologist and neuroscientist who has spent his career studying the links between the gut, brain, and microbiome, alongside Dylan Mayer, MS, whose background is in neuroscience, nutrition, and human performance.
Every product is research-driven, built on ingredient integrity, and transparent by design. You should know exactly what you are putting in your body.
