 Nobody has more fun talking and writing about health, nutrition and exercise than Zonya Foco, RD. She's vocal and visual about helping people "get it," giving them the information and tools to make healthy choices despite hectic lifestyles. Beans and broccoli, apples to zucchini, she's a bit of a fanatic (in a good way!) about helping people "make their good intentions come true." An expert on nutrition and wellness, author and professional speaker, Zonya earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Dietetics and is a Registered Dietitian with the American Dietetics Association. She is also a certified health and fitness instructor with the American College of Sports Medicine. Before founding her speaking, writing and publishing business in 1994, Zonya worked for 8 years as a clinical nutritionist for the Michigan Heart and Vascular Institute at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She led the work-site nutrition wellness programs, performed individual nutrition counseling for weight and cholesterol control, and taught weekly weight/cholesterol workshops. She was also a guest lecturer at her alma mater, Eastern Michigan University. Zonya's goal is to help people achieve their maximum energy and health potential by providing them with the information and resources they need to be fully successful. Her approach is not about strict eating plans or fanatic exercise. It is about manageable change, substitutions and choices. It is for people who want to be strong, vigorous and energetic. It is for people who want to create balance in their lives and avoid health problems as well as those who are currently choosing to correct or counter problems with weight, cholesterol, blood pressure or diabetes. Her favorite motto is, "Knowledge is power and you have choices. With clients telling her everything they needed in order to succeed at a healthy lifestyle, she created her 400-page Lickety-Split Meals For Health Conscious People on the Go! which includes all the recipes and tips people need to make lifestyle changes with ease. After ten years of listening to her clients and writing and compiling all the information for her unique book, Zonya has calculated that those who use the book to its capacity can save 5 hours and lose 1-2 pounds per week, and lower blood pressure & cholesterol, all while the family enjoys delicious dinners at home!
