She believes that,
"The single best investment you can make to your health on a daily basis is to eat well. Eating well is about eating quality foods—in delicious combinations—on a regular basis to give you energy to function, mental clarity, and a glow that reflects your overall health. So, good health literally depends on eating nutritious, healthy, delicious foods – yes, in moderate portions and with room for flexibility. We are the cumulative effect of what we put into our bodies and burn through activity over time and not the product of any one meal. It’s therefore about being empowered to make personal, customized choices about what and how much to eat and not a matter of deprivation or willpower."
Dr. Wendy’s (and her husband’s) personal and professional guiding philosophy: Eat well, Move daily, Be Healthy.®
