"WHATEVER YOU CAN DO, OR DREAM YOU CAN, BEGIN IT.  BOLDNESS HAS GENIUS, POWER AND MAGIC IN IT" ~ Goethe

To say she is an inspiration to many women would be correct.  To be motivated by her and learn from her because she is like each one of us, is very true as well.  Tosca Reno has been able to reach out and touch many, women in particular, because she has had battles with her weight, personal struggles balancing her personal and work life, and numerous challenges throughout that have shaped her into who she is today.  Tosca knows what many are dealing with because she was once there.  It is with this history and realness, that Tosca Reno has become one of the leading Canadian health and wellness experts fighting the battle against obesity.  She created the Eat-Clean series that shows us how to live a healthy lifestyle that works because it was the one that helped her become the woman she is today. As an inspiration, Tosca Reno has given permission to each of us to live the best life we can lead. Reno ignites a fire in many to achieve their dreams- whatever they may be - with great success. This was evident when she hit the stage again for the Miss Bikini America Physique competition in Las Vegas at the age of 49, proving that you are only as old as you feel. 

However, before the success of the Eat-Clean series, Tosca was a 40 year old wife and mother who was miserable and overweight, stuck, in what she describes as "an unhappy marriage and living an unfulfilled life." She was able to change all of that and turn her life around, where now, she is a successful author, motivational speaker and wellness consultant, media personality and model. Tosca has written eleven books, including the incredibly successful Eat-Clean Diet series, as well as many columns for Oxygen, has appeared on numerous national television and radio programs and travels across North America appearing at book signings and seminars to deliver her message of health, wellness and inspiration.

Tosca credits the changes of her life turning around when she left her marriage and started over with her 3 children.  Now her focus was to get healthy on all levels.  She met and later married RKP founder, the late Robert Kennedy.  Kennedy created Robert Kennedy Publishing in 1974, which publishes well known fitness and bodybuilding magazines, MuscleMag and Oxygen (which is where Tosca first started writing her column).  The two married and together built a life and relationship of health and wellness, that they shared with others through their work.  Sadly, on April 12, 2012, Robert Kennedy lost his battle with lung cancer.  Reno, with the support of those that worked with Robert and herself, vowed to keep his memory and passion for the industry alive and recently stepped into the role of publisher and chief executive officer at Robert Kennedy Publishing. 

The Toronto Pro SuperShow is proud to have Tosca Reno as a guest the weekend of June 1-3 2012.  She will be offering free seminars to the Expo attendees on the Expo stage.  Make sure you get your tickets for the Toronto Pro SuperShow at www.torontoprosupershow.com, and also check the schedule for her seminar times, where you can be one of the lucky fans to meet the dynamic woman behind it all.
