Meet Wendy Jo

Well hello there and thanks for popping by. My name is Wendy Jo Peterson and I am a culinary trained registered dietitian nutritionist. I’ve been practicing as a dietitian for over 20 years and have been teaching culinary arts since 2003. In 2012, my career turned more toward professional speaking and writing, from television appearances to speaking around the globe. I have since published 7 books and have written for many magazine publications. Professionally today I work mostly on recipe development, collaborating with culinary-focused brands, writing, speaking, and consulting in the realm of nutrition.

Work doesn’t define me. I also happen to be a mama to an adorable daughter and 2 rescued labs. My husband and I have been a team since 1994, and I’ve enjoyed supporting his near 30 year career in the military. We’ve lived all over the US and in Europe, and have enjoyed traveling the world together.

As for my hobbies, I have too many! ha! From sewing to hiking and adventure exploring in our campervan, #olafthecampervan . Currently we live on the beach in SoCal, so you can often find me at the beach, in my garden, or walking my pups to the local playground.

Let’s connect. Let’s collaborate!
