Around the world, people are living longer, with the average human lifespan doubling in just over a century. But the number of years we live says nothing about how healthy we are, and as lifespan has increased, human beings are spending more time in moderate and poor health than ever before in our history.
Enter Stefan Apostolov, a visionary founder whose innovative platform, Zonia, has become a revolutionary resource for millions of people in Australia, US, UK, Canada and around the world to access vital health and wellness information that empowers individuals to take control of their wellbeing and transform their lives.
“Being healthy is the core, most basic characteristic of every human in order to be happy and live a fulfilled life,” Stefan explains. “So by fixing our health, we will fix everything.”
Born and raised in Bulgaria to a family of doctors, Stefan learned that he had inherited a genetic predisposition to diabetes and hypertension. Determined to avoid these conditions, he delved into epigenetics – the study of how behavior and environment can influence gene expression – and dedicated himself to managing his lifestyle to keep these genetic predispositions dormant.
This personal health journey would be the first step toward founding Zonia. The next step? Glimpsing the scale of the challenge.
Professional success brought Stefan to the United States, where he saw firsthand common health challenges. “We live in challenging times when it comes to our health and wellbeing,,” says Stefan. “My mission is simple: I want people to understand that their health is in their hands.”
As an accomplished filmmaker, Stefan knew that he was uniquely positioned to translate invaluable expert knowledge into captivating and credible video content.
It all comes to life on Zonia, which offers a comprehensive library of accessible and actionable health and wellness resources.
The company specializes in functional medicine, and has become a trusted hub for more than 200 of the world’s leading functional medicine doctors & health experts, including well-known experts like Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Ty Vincent, and even Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the father of functional medicine. A full spectrum of wellness and healthy lifestyle content is also available, from cooking shows and yoga classes, to guided meditation and sleep stories.
Zonia’s library has been viewed by an audience of millions in Australia and around the world, and the majority of its videos boast a 90+ percent completion rate.
Partnerships with leading medical institutions like the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and the Institute for Functional Medicine further amplify Zonia’s reach and ensure its content remains cutting-edge and evidence-based.
However, reach isn’t everything, and from the beginning, Stefan has always focused on impact.
Thousands of remarkable testimonials have poured in from individuals who have relied on Zonia to guide their holistic healing, as well as from those who have used Zonia to optimize their nutrition and day-to-day lives. A vibrant community has grown up around the platform, and continuing to nourish this community is a key growth area for Zonia.
Looking ahead, Stefan and his team are committed to expanding Zonia’s offerings. Upcoming projects include video series focused on subjects like autoimmunity and children’s mental health, and with a mission to reach 100 million people by the end of 2025, Zonia is poised to make an even greater impact.
Improving health and wellness at scale is an enormous challenge – one which Stefan is confident Zonia is ready to meet. By turning cutting-edge medical expertise into engaging, accessible, and actionable content, Zonia is revolutionizing how people approach their health.
Already a leader in holistic healing and functional medicine, Zonia is a company with tremendous potential and ample opportunity to grow. With a changemaking founder at the helm, surging momentum, and an expanding library of compelling material, Zonia is making large strides to improve the health and wellness industry.
