Claudia Wells
Goes Back to the Future with Garden of Life ®
by Rhonda Price
We tracked down actress Claudia Wells at her home in Los Angeles as she was preparing to travel to Australia for Supanova , a pop culture fan convention focusing on science fiction , fantasy films , TV and comic books . Although it ’ s been more than 30 years since she starred as Jennifer Parker , Marty McFly ’ s girlfriend in the beloved Back to the Future movie , she ’ s still in demand for appearances all over the world . And no matter where she goes , she takes her favorite Garden of Life supplements with her and calls hotel managers in advance to request a blender in her room . We learned this is one lady who doesn ’ t want to go one day without her protein shake !
“ I ’ ve always loved smoothies ,” said Claudia , who celebrated her 50 th birthday recently . “ I ’ ve been doing protein and smoothies for decades , so I ’ ve tried them all . But I ’ ve been using Garden of Life ’ s Raw Organic Protein and Raw Organic Fit for almost six months now and it ’ s wonderful . I have never felt this fit and strong in my entire life !”
Looking fit and healthy was not always easy for Claudia when she started acting as a teenager . Whether she was auditioning for a role or attending classes at Beverly Hills High School , she was constantly pressured to be thin . Even a few extra pounds could show up on her small , 5 ’ 3 ” frame , so watching her weight became a way of life . Luckily , since she started using Garden of Life protein powders , she ’ s lost 12 pounds and weighs exactly the same as she did when she won her role in Back to the Future . When asked if her size had anything to do with landing the part of Jennifer , she let us in on a few secrets about the film . in Gremlins and The Goonies . I wasn ’ t nervous when I showed up to audition for Back to the Future , and Michael and I were the perfect height ! He never seemed too short for me and he was also a very good kisser !”
Friends and family members have been quick to notice Claudia is as svelte as she was as a teen and ask about the secrets to her vibrant health . She enjoys telling them about all the supplements she uses in addition to the protein powders , including Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox , mykind Organics multivitamins , mykind Organics B-12 spray and Vitamin C spray and fücoProtein bars .
“ People notice that I ’ ve lost weight , my hair is thick and my skin is smooth ,” she said . “ They want to know what I ’ m doing , and I always give Garden of Life a ton of credit . Everything I have tried has made a big difference in how I feel .”
Claudia shared that she regularly relies on Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox for detoxification , describing it as “ phenomenal ” for cleansing while not being harsh on the body . She carries mykind Organics Vitamin C spray in her purse at all times and frequently hands it out to customers at her men ’ s clothing store , Armani Wells . If she needs an energy boost , she uses mykind Organics B-12 spray or mixes up a protein shake with Raw Organic Fit and coffee . She says she ’ s learned protein shakes and fücoProtein bars are game changers when it comes to controlling her appetite .
“ The first girl they cast for the role was 5 ’ 7 ” and way too tall for Michael J . Fox ’ s Marty McFly ,” she said . “ I had screen tested with Steven Spielberg before , and narrowly lost out on lead roles
