Chemist to 'Bella Via': How Michael Aurema Found the Slow Good Life

SLO good life Host James Davis sits down with Michael Auiremma—born in Naples and formerly a chemist—to explore his shift to Mediterranean diet coaching, small‑group Italy travel, and the lifestyle principles of Blue Zones. They discuss the calming influence of living near the ocean, the role of food, coffee, dance, and social connection in healthy aging, and Michael’s approach to slow, meaningful travel.

This episode highlights practical tips on moderation, minimally processed food, and lifelong learning, and points listeners to Michael’s Bella Via Travels Italy and a Cuesta College Italian‑Mediterranean Diet seminar for those wanting to learn more.
