100NO 337: Ikarian Diet Discoveries with Marika

Episode Summary

Welcome to Part 2 of our 3-part series with Marika. Marika is an Ikaria local about to turn 88. Her quality of life far exceeds that of many people in their 50s and 60s, and we have been fortunate enough to spend an hour with her on her patio, flanked by her family and friends.

On this episode, we discuss Marika’s attitudes towards food, including her daily diet, the use of herbal teas, remedies for common ailments such as bee stings, and a whole lot more.

We hope you enjoy the infectious personality of Marika!

We are returning to Ikaria in 2020. To find out more about the trip and to apply, go to www.100notout.com
