The biggest winner

Ed Cederquist was helping out in his wife, Caroline's, medical weight-loss practice in Naples 10 years ago when he overheard patients gripe about how hard it was to prepare fresh nutritious meals at home.

From shopping for fresh food to the time it takes to prepare it, everyone knows maintaining a healthy diet can be a challenge. “It's overwhelming to eat healthy in this country,” says Ed Cederquist, who calls himself a chef by passion.

So in 2005, the Cederquists started BistroMD, a company that provides nutritious meals for people with medical conditions such as weight problems and diabetes. Some of their first customers were patients of Caroline Cederquist's practice.
