PROGRAM
Fiona McKiernan with Zero to Hero Nutrition
Our program this week was provide by Fiona McKiernan, a registered dietitian and nutritionist, owner of Zero to Hero Nutrition.
Fiona started her own business here in Santa Maria. She is a public policy representative for nutrition and an advocate for better nutrition in the tri-county area. When she was 22 she was bed ridden and wheel chair bound for two years. She was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. She also developed a painful bladder condition. In 2010 she had a device planted into her spine. Due to her perseverance, Medtronic selected her as a Global Hero in 2016. She believes that even though you might have health challenges - the diagnosis doesn't end the race. Nutrition and food helped her recover. She discovered that food is your medicine, the other important thing is exercise. She became a marathon runner but started by walking 30 seconds.
Zero to Hero is located on 1505 Shepherd Drive
