Frontiers Health is proud to announce that film maker and entrepreneur Donal O’Neill will be sharing the story behind “The Big Fat Fix”, his latest feature length documentary challenging the modern interpretation of the Mediterranean Diet.

Embarking on a journey to the tiny southern Italian hamlet of Pioppi – the UNESCO protected home of the Mediterranean Diet – Mr. O’Neill partnered with prominent UK Cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra in a quest for the truth behind the most famous diet ever sold. In the 1960’s, the longevity and health of its people caught the attention of famed American professor and researcher Ancel Keys whose work in Pioppi provided a framework for the original Mediterranean Diet guidelines. Mr. O’Neill and Dr. Malhotra discovered that many of Professor Keys’ original observations were not included in what would become the foundation for health and nutritional guidelines worldwide, and have embarked on a mission to set the record straight.

The result of their extensive scientific research and observations in producing the movie is “The Pioppi Protocol”, a 21 day nutrition and lifestyle program which is currently being evaluated as the basis of a clinical study, has gained the interest of several health insurance companies, and is a prime candidate for partnering with data driven prevention and health management platforms.

Meet Donal at his talk on November 18th, 3:00pm – 3:15pm, The Generator room.
