PR & Communications Associate

ZOE is the science and nutrition company leading a movement to transform the health of millions. We exist because the food we eat is making us sick. Most of what we are taught about food is wrong. ZOE runs the world’s largest nutrition science study to find scientifically proven solutions. Our randomised controlled trial of ZOE proves that if you eat the right food for your body, you can feel healthier in weeks and be on track for more healthy years. ZOE can change the way you eat, feel, and live.
