Well-Known Dietitian + Popular "Foodologist" Sign on to "Life…supplemented" Campaign

WASHINGTON, D.C., DECEMBER 2, 2020 - The Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) educational affiliate, the CRN Foundation, today announces the addition of two consultants to the consumer wellness initiative, "Life…supplemented." Registered dietitian for NBC's "The Biggest Loser," Cheryl Forberg, R.D., and popular "foodologist," Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien, will help remind consumers of the importance of a well-balanced approach to wellness through the three pillars of health-healthy diet + responsible use of vitamins and other dietary supplements + routine physical activity.

"We're very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Cheryl and Lisa as they both have a lot of credibility among their enthusiastic fan bases and will generate a lot of excitement for the program," said Judy Blatman, senior vice president, communications, CRN, who oversees the program.  "Cheryl's appreciation for the importance of a well-balanced approach to wellness combined with Lisa's no-nonsense approach to simplifying what can be a complicated process for many consumers, compliments our messages about the importance of a proactive health/lifestyle regimen."

As consultants to the "Life…supplemented" program, Ms. Forberg and Ms. Lillien will engage consumers to discuss the importance of the three pillars approach to wellness.  Ms. Forberg will be seen across various television and print publications, and Ms. Lillien will moderate the program's inaugural live video stream where consumers will have the opportunity to interact with her and wellness experts.
