Collage of three photos featuring women at an event. In the top left, a woman with orange hair receives a handshake from someone out of frame, at a booth with black heart decorations. In the top right, two women stand in front of a display, one holding a white cloth, the other holding a tote bag that reads 'Guard Your Heart.' In the bottom center, two women are at a table, one showing something on her phone to the other, with people sitting in the background.

“I think health has a lot to do with happiness. When you're healthy, you think more clearly, and you can work on yourself. But it's not about extremes. I eat everything I ever ate, just not too often.”
