Cover Model:  Dr. Ida Allen

Age:  29

Home town:  Rhinelander, Wisconsin

Family:  My soul mate and husband Dr. Jerod Bergman and I have a 3 year old son Aden, and one on the way (due in September).

Education and career: 
I am currently working as a Doctor of Chiropractic with a Clinical Nutrition emphasis.  My husband and I own and operate Advanced Health Natural Health Improvement Center.  
My 2 sisters and I started an original natural "take and make" food franchise called "Entrees" which will be spanning the US very soon!

Hobbies: 
I'm an information junkie! I love to read up on the latest nutritional and natural health studies and stats.  I also enjoy writing wellness columns/articles.

Did you have fun shooting the cover? 

I was actually quite nervous...there were several Tri-Fitness girls around getting ready for a competition that day, and they all made me feel very comfortable.  Also Ed Johnston (the photographer) and his wife, Marianne, were wonderful with helping me maintain my confidence and stay relaxed. 

What do you like best about WTF events? 

It's just so much fun to get together with a bunch of powerful women with similar goals and motivations and truly get along, and then have a blast competing WITH instead of against each other.  It's also fun to watch everyone be "girlie" for the grace and physique round and then see the transformation to (as Al would say) GI Jane.
