Nobody motivates an audience more about the benefits of smart nutrition, everyday exercise, and commonsense core habits than Zonya Foco, RDN, CSP and America’s Nutrition Leader. One of the most exciting, inspiring, vital and unforgettable speakers in America, her mission is to win the war on obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Foco’s easy humor, high energy, and dynamic style drive home the message that when it comes to health and nutrition, we can all change our lives with the power of one good habit. As a teen who saw her own weight bounce up and down, ending each diet at a higher number on the scale, she is now motivating people everywhere with a commonsense approach to healthy eating through her TV show, Zonya’s Health Bites; her bestselling cookbook, Lickety-Split Meals for Health Conscious People on the Go; and her newest book, Eat REAL Cookbook.
In 2005, Zonya’s Health Bites began making converts to healthy eating across the nation. This 30-minute program airing on public television combines smart grocery shopping tips, lively cooking segments, and practical exercise recommendations, all peppered with quick “bites” of information on topics from kid-friendly veggies to heart-smart snacks.
Her newest book Eat REAL increases appetites and preferences for whole foods, especially when coupled with her Eat REAL for your Health video program. Perhaps her most notable work has been her “No diets, No counting, No kidding” DIET FREE lifestyle program, which in addition to promoting healthy nutrition, tackles exercise habits and stress management, effectively moving the needle on health for thousands of individuals and worksites across the country.
In her book, Water with Lemon, she has joined forces with novelist Stephen Moss to introduce a new genre, the health novel, bringing readers an inspiring story of personal transformation that teaches readers how eight simple habits can help them master diet-free, guilt-free weight loss for life.
In her inspiring keynotes, Zonya Foco uses humor, hard facts, and common sense to help people of all ages incorporate healthy habits into their busy lives. She is committed to the idea that small, simple steps are the key to long-term lifestyle changes. Her high energy crossed with low maintenance solutions makes healthy living fun and doable for all.
Before launching her speaking, writing, and publishing career in 1994, Foco received her bachelor’s degree from Eastern Michigan University and then worked for eight years as a clinical nutritionist for the Michigan Heart and Vascular Institute at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor. From these early clients, she discovered the need for a “countertop coach” cookbook and in 1998 wrote Lickety Split Meals for Health Conscious People on the Go, filled with easy recipes and healthy tips for everyday families.
In addition to spreading the word through her own books and TV show, Foco is a favorite on local newscasts across the country, nationally syndicated daytime talk shows, and QVC. She has been published in the popular magazines Prevention, Today’s Dietitian, Total Health, and Fast and Healthy Cooking. In 2008, Foco toured across the country on Oprah and Bob’s Best Life Challenge 2008 bus as the presenter and guest expert.
Whether the goal is life balance, nutrition or exercise, Zonya truly Inspires Everyday Health!
