Carolyn Sideco is a Sports Relationship Coach and founder of Coaching Kapwa Sports Consultants. She makes a daily ritual of crafting and emerging her Filipinx American identities through relationship-building with people and energies of this world. She's a professionally trained kinesiologist, physical educator, and athletic administrator. Always confident in her Filipina American identity, Carolyn enjoys amplifying the experiences of Filipinx/a/o-identified people, and is proud to shine light on their constant contributions to our societies. She understands the special value identical twins have to scientific research, and leverages this privilege to encourage folks of color to participate in and be critical of research and data in their own lives. Participating in the Stanford Study helps make Carolyn an interesting person to chat with at parties, as she brings no karaoke-singing or other performative value to the scene. The Food 2.0 series also gave Carolyn a reason to beg her friends and family to help in grocery shopping and cooking, as she doesn't do either of those things regularly or with much skill. She hopes that folks who watch the series feel empowered to join in on the Food 2.0 conversation.

Rosalyn Sideco Moorhouse was born one minute after her twin in Tarlac, Philippines to Linda and Tony Sideco. She was raised in San Francisco following the family’s immigration to the United States. Rosalyn has three siblings and enjoys her brood of nephews and nieces. She earned a Masters Degree in Pastoral Ministry with an emphasis in Catechetics (Religious Education). Having worked with adolescents in various ministry settings since college, Rosalyn has been on faculty in the Religious Studies department at a Catholic high school for over 20 years. She takes her commitment to students seriously and considers the vocation of teaching an extension of her faith. Rosalyn and her monozygotic twin have been “Citizen Scientists” for over 30 years with Stanford’s National Twin Registry. They have proudly taken part in a range of studies to advance health and medicine. The plant-based vs. omnivore study was the most involved to date. Rosalyn found the fitness and biometric components most interesting and loved interacting with everyone involved in the project. Friends describe Rosalyn as fiercely loyal and adept at anticipating what they enjoy. Rosalyn lives with her husband, enjoying an empty nest while their son is in college.
