Meg F. - Research Scientist

What I Do
As a food scientist I am trained to work with a variety of products and ingredients.  For the past four years I’ve been in Product Development where I get to work with “off the wall” concepts in an attempt to discover new combinations and formulas for products.  Playing with ideas like fruit roll ups or candies with natural sweeteners often lead to innovative ideas; some of our best solutions to problems encountered during development have been born from well-reasoned trial and error.  It’s challenging and exciting to work with so many people and on such a wide variety of products on a daily basis.

What I Take
My must-have products include Whole Heart Multivitamin™†, CoQ10, Eskimo-3®, Iron Complex™, Super Milk Thistle®, MSM GS-500™, Acidophilus Pearls™, and Calcium and a drink mix that has fiber in it.

Why I Take Them
My family has had various health issues so I have always made sure to take preventative measures.  Multivitamins and fish oil were part of my health regimen for a long time, but with the increased education and exposure I received at Enzymatic Therapy®, I now make sure to only take the best on the market.  I have hardly taken a sick day in my past four years of work!

When I'm Not at the Office
Health and wellness are not just components of my job, but genuine interests and hobbies outside of work also.  I take kickboxing classes at least twice a week and love traveling to any area that allows me outdoor time.  I enjoy kayaking, hiking, backpacking or camping.  I also really like to cook, as well as read various nutrition and food science articles.  Knowing what other people are doing in the nutrition field helps elevate my level of work as well. My daughter and I remain close even though she attends school in Winona, Minnesota.  We both share a fondness for the arts—watching plays and musicals, attending concerts and watching films, and a desire to volunteer and work on community service projects.  Helping others is a part of my being and something that helps give my life more meaning and joy.
