MiM is not a weight-loss app with better branding. It’s an operating system for daily life, built for brains that deserve clarity, not confusion.
While developing the MiM App over the past year, we used the Mediterranean diet as our foundation. For good reason.
It’s one of the most studied eating patterns in the world:
vegetables fruit whole grains beans and nuts fish olive oil fewer ultra-processed foods It works.
But as MiM evolved, we needed something more specific to the brain.
That’s where MIND comes in.
A Note on Why No Names Are Used The person who suggested this shift asked not to be named.
He supports multiple patients at any given time who are navigating complex, hard-to-diagnose conditions and works alongside their medical teams. He keeps his guidance evidence-based and avoids publicly attaching his name to any specific diet or protocol.
That’s not evasive. That’s ethical.
MiM follows the same principle: the focus stays on what helps the person, not who suggested it.
What Is the MIND Diet? MIND stands for:
Mediterranean–DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay
It combines:
The Mediterranean diet the DASH diet a clear focus on brain health If you want the clinical overview and food lists, Mayo Clinic explains it clearly HERE:
MiM’s job is not to rewrite Mayo.
MiM’s job is to make this usable in daily life.
Mediterranean vs MIND: What’s the Difference? The Mediterranean Diet Broad. Flexible. Forgiving.
Focuses on:
plant-forward meals healthy fats fish and seafood moderation, not restriction Strength: easy to sustain Limitation: not brain-specific enough for MiM’s goals
The MIND Diet More targeted. More structured.
MIND:
prioritizes leafy greens and berries sets clear weekly goals is explicit about foods to limit Strength: brain-first design Limitation: can feel rule-heavy without guidance
This structure matters when cognitive energy is already under pressure.
Why MiM Is Making the Switch We’re not abandoning Mediterranean principles.
We’re refining them.
Mediterranean is the highway. MIND is the route with fewer potholes when cognition is what you’re protecting.
MiM is built around routines, not willpower. MIND fits that reality better.
How to Start Without Overhauling Your Life You don’t need a reset. You need a few reliable defaults.
Start here: 1. Leafy greens, daily Spinach, kale, arugula, romaine. Any form counts.
2. Berries, weekly Fresh or frozen. Dessert works.
3. Demote, don’t ban Butter-heavy meals, pastries, fried foods move from “default” to “sometimes.”
That’s it.
Consistency beats perfection.
The MIND diet is public information. Mayo is free.
What isn’t free is execution.
Most plans fail at the same moment:
decision fatigue
time pressure
low energy
too many competing responsibilities
People don’t stop because they don’t care.
They stop because they’re carrying too much.
MiM Premium will include:
weekly MIND-aligned recipes
done-for-you shopping lists
simple weekly rhythms
flexible swaps for low-energy days
A Responsible Reminder Diet is not medical advice.
If you’re also managing conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, cardiovascular issues, or taking medications that interact with diet, use your clinician as a guardrail.
MiM supports daily life. It does not replace medical care.
