Obesity has become an epidemic of modern society. What makes it most dangerous? Why are more and more people overeating and not exercising enough? How can this be changed? Petr Havlíček, an expert in healthy lifestyle, overweight and obesity, specialises in finding the answers.
Petr Havlíček graduated from the University of Agriculture in Brno with a state examination in food technology. He supplemented this with his own study of the latest scientific findings in nutrition and closely monitors nutritional trends worldwide, particularly in the USA and Canada. He began his career in healthy lifestyle as a nutrition consultant to elite athletes. His clients have included cross-country skier, Olympic champion and world champion Kateřina Neumannová, three-time world champion and world record holder in the athletic decathlon Tomáš Dvořák, and his rival and successor, Olympic champion, world champion and world record holder Roman Šebrle.
Over time his clientele broadened and he is now also popular among the general public in their struggle with overweight and obesity. As a nutrition specialist, he leads the television reality show "You Are What You Eat" and the programme "Battle Against Heavy Weight", which are regularly broadcast by TV Prima.
He also works as a consultant for Nutrend, which is the official supplier of nutritional supplements to the Czech Olympic Committee and above all supplies the global healthy food market. He ranks among the top professionals in his field, and as a result his brand's nutrition products are consumed not only by elite competitors but also by recreational athletes.
"I am a content and happy person because I do work that I enjoy," is how Petr Havlíček sums up his eventful career so far.
