It's a simple yet powerful statement. In several fields of science the evidence is mounting, and we now know that there are factors which influence our genes to determine our biochemical destiny. Among the most important of those factors is the food we eat. In simple terms, then, great health starts with great food, and it is this belief that inspired Veronica Porterfield to enter the field of nutrition and continues to inspire her to help others make the best choices they can.
