About Wendy Wang, PhD, and Cal Nutrition Group

 

    Wendy believes that knowledge is one of the most powerful tools for staying healthy and preventing disease. In 2018, she founded the Cal Nutrition Group to share her knowledge of nutrition and provide education to both individuals and businesses. “Cal” refers to the University of California, Berkeley, where Wendy earned her Ph.D. in Nutrition. During her doctoral training and subsequent research positions, she conducted numerous human clinical studies—both in healthy individuals and in populations who could benefit from dietary or supplemental interventions. These included people with diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, pregnancy/lactation, older adults, people with macular degeneration, and Alzheimer's disease.

 

    Wendy regularly develops nutrition content on diverse topics (often inspired by friends’ questions) and shares it on this website. She also consults with individuals who need tailored, evidence-based nutrition guidance to optimize their health.

 

Integrating East and West

 

    Wendy has also observed how many Asian foods traditionally recognized in Chinese Medicine are now being validated by modern scientific research. Her combined understanding of these traditional foods and cutting-edge clinical evidence has shaped her unique perspective on nutrition, inspiring innovative product ideas and functional food formulations.

 

    She now partners with food manufacturers and entrepreneurs to research, develop, and market science-backed nutrition and wellness products for global markets.
