Zonya Foco

Zonya Foco, RD is an American dietitian, professional speaker, nutrition expert, entrepreneur, television chef and writer.

She is the only Registered Dietitian (RD) and Certified Health and Fitness Instructor (CHFI) in the United States to have earned the prestigious Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation. She focuses more on healthy eating than on dieting, which is not surprising given the tendency of the overweight or the obese to not diet or exercise.

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, Michigan.

Writings
Her experiences there led her to write, in 1998, Lickety-Split Meals for Health Conscious People on the Go. She also authored The Power of One Good Habit.
