Hi!
I’m Maya, a registered dietitian nutritionist, Mediterranean Diet expert, and breast cancer survivor.
​
I started @Mayazbites in college as an evidence-based Mediterranean Diet resource hub, offering simple, bite-sized lessons and approachable recipes. Born in France and raised in Syria, my love for this lifestyle is rooted in my daily life.

​
At 29, I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer linked to a genetic mutation, placing me at high risk for recurrence. This life-changing experience strengthened my dedication to the Mediterranean diet as a powerful tool for reducing recurrence, maintaining a healthy weight, and supporting long-term health.
I'm here to share my expertise and empower you to achieve your health and wellness goals permanently.
​
When I’m not sharing nutrition tips or creating recipes, I’m traveling, exploring new cuisines, and savoring the flavors that inspire my work.
I also love the energy and connection of EDM music festivals—they’re my favorite hobby and a source of joy.
