Hi, I’m Maya 

​

A California-based Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Mediterranean Diet expert, and breast cancer survivor.

I help women take control of their health and achieve lifelong wellness through evidence-based, sustainable nutrition rooted in the Mediterranean Diet lifestyle.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Nutrition from the University of California, Davis, and a Coordinated Master’s in Business and Dietetics from Dominican University.

 

My academic background combines clinical nutrition science with strategic, real-world applications, so I can provide you with tools that are not only proven but also practical.

​

At 29, I was diagnosed with bilateral invasive breast cancer linked to a genetic mutation that put me at a very high risk for recurrence. That diagnosis changed everything. It deepened my commitment to prevention, lifestyle medicine, and the power of nutrition to support healing and long-term wellness.

​

Through Mayazbites, I share the exact Mediterranean Diet approach I use to reduce my recurrence risk, maintain a healthy weight, and feel strong in my body again.

 

Born in France and raised in Syria, I grew up immersed in the foods and rhythms of the Mediterranean. Today, I blend those cultural roots with my clinical training to make the Mediterranean Diet approachable, effective, and lifestyle-friendly.

​

Whether you’re focused on prevention, healing, weight management, or simply want to eat in a way that fuels your best life, you’re in the right place.
