AJENDA AND HEALTHY EATING
Creating a Healthier Path Through Nutrition
When I founded AJENDA, it wasn’t simply the next chapter in my professional journey—it was a deeply personal mission to redefine how we approach wellness, particularly for women. After spending over a decade as Chief Medical Correspondent at ABC News and co-hosting GMA3, I stepped away to focus on what matters most to me as a physician and a nutritionist: health, nourishment, and vitality. I knew I wanted to build something evidence-based, accessible, and sustainable. That’s how The Wellness Experiment was born.
The Experiment began as a personal six-month reset for my own health—an intentional blend of high-performance fitness, targeted nutrition, and emotional well-being. As I shared my journey on social media, it quickly grew into something much bigger. Thousands of people began reaching out. They weren’t just curious—they were ready to make real, lasting changes and craving credible guidance they could trust. So, I decided to share the exact system I had followed, in the form of a structured wellness platform. Each Phase spans 8 weeks, and together the program runs over six months. The result is what we now call The Wellness Experiment, AJENDA’s signature offering.
At the core of the program is integrative nutrition—connecting the dots between food, medicine, and lifestyle. As both a doctor and nutritionist, my goal is to bridge evidence-based medical insight with real-world, delicious eating. Phase 2, for example, features eight ethnically-inspired cuisines linked to longevity and health: Greek, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Jamaican, Nordic, Mexican, and Indian. These globally diverse diets are not only packed with flavor but backed by science. Whether it’s the fermented foods of Korea, the omega-3s in Nordic fare, or the phytonutrient-rich spices in Indian cooking, each week showcases how food can truly be medicine.
For women—especially those over 40—these nutrition shifts can be life-changing. Our Phase 2 meal plans include fiber-rich vegetables, heart-healthy olive oil, plant and fish-based proteins, and nutrient-dense grains and legumes.
Participants have reported reduced LDL cholesterol, better energy, weight loss, and—most importantly—empowerment and confidence in their health.
What makes AJENDA unique is that we don’t teach restriction—we teach celebration. This isn’t a diet. We’re not eliminating joy from the plate. We’re embracing mindful eating, cultural traditions, and nutrient-forward food choices that help people feel their best. Greek yogurt, sardines, lentils, turmeric, miso, figs, bulgur, and olive oil all play starring roles. And our tools make it easy: daily plans, prep guides, grocery lists, and nutrition science explained in real terms.
Participants often share how doable the plan feels. One woman wrote, “You’ve taken all the guesswork out. For once, I feel like I can actually do this long-term.” That’s the essence of AJENDA—real science, real life, real results.
Education is our cornerstone. I don’t just tell you what to eat—I explain why. From gut health and hormone balance to brain function and bone strength, we connect the dots so participants understand how every bite supports their goals. It’s not about fads—it’s about facts, delivered in a way that’s approachable and engaging.
My mission with AJENDA is simple: to empower people to take control of their health through informed, integrative choices. You don’t need to fly across the globe to experience the benefits of culturally rich, nutrient-dense eating. You just need curiosity, consistency, and a willingness to nourish yourself fully.
