Dr. Hastings is the driving force behind Relìv's innovation in balanced nutritional supplements, nutraceuticals and functional foods. He received his Ph.D. in food science from the University of Illinois and has spent more than 30 years researching and developing a broad range of food products. He began his career with Mead Johnson & Company, where he conducted research on sterilized liquid nutritional food products and developed low-calorie dietary frozen desserts marketed under the Weight Watchers brand. The strong emphasis on nutrition and quality at Mead Johnson became the impetus for Dr. Hastings' growing interest and commitment to high-quality nutritional food products.
Since joining Relìv in 1988, Dr. Hastings has translated his phenomenal understanding of food science into nutritional products that are not only good for the body, but also possess exceptional taste. He is a noted authority on the use of soy foods and a leading figure in the development of functional foods. To date, Dr. Hastings has received three U.S. patents for Relìv product formulations and applied for several others. "While consumers are becoming more and more aware of the importance of good nutrition, they still want products that taste good and fit into their lifestyles," Dr. Hastings says. "At Relìv, we're giving them what they want and need to keep fit & healthy." |
