When my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at just 59 years old, he told me not to worry. So I assured him I wouldn’t.

Until I discovered how poorly he was eating. Challenged by flimsy plastic packaging and a lack of meals that tailored to the Mediterranean diet, he had resorted to ultra-processed quick meals or takeout. Knowing the relationship between healthy eating and chronic disease, I decided to make something better for him.

Along came Solano — meals inspired by the Mediterranean, delivered right to your home. Founded by two friends who met at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, we know that the food on your plate is just as important as the medicine you take.
