Celebrity Chef · Keynote Speaker · 3× New York Times Bestselling Author · Momentum Architect

The talk that turns “I can’t” into “I can’t wait to.”

Booked by Fortune 500 wellness teams, hospital systems, and pharmaceutical brands. For audiences who’ve heard every wellness speaker, and stayed the full hour for Devin.

She was the bullied overweight kid on the sofa who assumed you had to choose: your health or the food you love. She refused to accept that. So she figured out how to have both. She has spent 20 years proving anyone can.

Signature Keynote

AI Yourself Fit

AI is a brilliant intern for your health. Devin brings 20 years of expertise to check its work. So you get real results, faster.

What your organization gets
A system they use Monday morning.
Not a handout. A real-world plan built around their schedule, their travel, their restaurants, their hotel gym. Personalized in the room with AI before they walk out the door.
Adoption starts in the room.
The goal framework, workout finder, and food strategy are simple enough that every person in the room can start using them before they even leave. No steep learning curve, no reason to stop. It's a keynote, not a pitch. Every tool is free the moment they walk out the door.
She keeps the room.
235 accounts stayed on Zoom for the full hour of a virtual event. In person, that number is 100%. Engagement is not a concern you’ll need to manage.

Devin has spent 20 years converting skeptics. She walks into rooms full of people who’ve already decided that getting healthier means giving up everything they love to eat. She walks out with a room that can’t wait to go implement change. It works because she’s been exactly where they are. Not the wellness expert looking down from the mountain. The one who started from the bottom and engineered her way up.

She is not the person who grew up loving kale. She spit out her pea baby food, spent years convinced she hated vegetables, convinced herself she hated working out, and has had to consciously engineer her own health her entire life, same as the person in the third row. That’s why they believe her. She’s not talking down from the mountain. She’s been in the valley with them.

AI Yourself Fit™ is that same talk, the one that’s been flipping rooms for two decades, now supercharged. Same girl. Same laugh lines. Same self-deprecating honesty about what it actually takes to eat well when you didn’t grow up doing it. Not a tech talk. A permission slip. The food is still juicy. The stories are still funny. The AI just gives every person in that room more ammunition to keep going after they leave: better recipe searches, product comparisons, and meal plans built in 90 seconds instead of the two hours Devin used to spend doing it by hand.

  • 01
    It Was Never About Willpower. Devin has spent 20 years watching audiences beat themselves up for cravings they could have engineered away. In this room, they find out exactly why they’ve struggled, and what they’re making for dinner tonight.
  • 02
    The Food Is Still the Food. Juicy. Decadent. Satisfying. While developing one of her cookbooks, Devin once dragged a friend to a Backyard Burger in Nashville with a ruler and a food scale, just to get the recipe exactly right: weighing the patties, measuring the cheese, getting every sauce on the side. That’s the kind of obsession that happens once, in her test kitchen, so nobody in the audience ever has to do it themselves. They just get to eat the result. Her audience walks out knowing their favorite foods are back on the table. Just engineered.
  • 03
    Better Tools, Right Now. Before they leave, every person is empowered to use AI to find only the recipes actually worth making, not the sad “healthy” ones that never got tested in a real kitchen. How to search like a trained chef and proven coach would, so they can walk into any restaurant and order the healthy decadent version with total confidence. How to decode a label in 10 seconds, using two decades of knowledge that sees straight through what a label is trying to hide.
  • 04
    They Leave Differently. They came in thinking health is a sacrifice. They leave planning dinner and inspired to get active. That has been true for 20 years. The AI just gives them more ammunition to keep going after they walk out the door.

Devin customizes all of her talks. The framework is the same: 20 years of engineering food people actually want to eat, now supercharged with AI tools audiences can use before they hit the parking lot. But whether she’s on stage at a Fortune 500 summit, a hospital staff event, or a women’s leadership conference, the room she’s walking into shapes every story she tells. The result feels like it was built for exactly that audience. Because it was.

Corporate / Fortune 500
Top Booking
Your team is performing on empty. This is the room where that changes.
Not a food talk. A full performance system: mindset, movement, meals, and AI tools. Built for people whose schedules don’t cooperate. They leave knowing how to order anywhere, move anywhere, set goals that hold under pressure, and use AI to maintain all of it. The framework works at the client dinner, in the hotel gym at 6am, and at the minibar at 11pm. They leave with a plan, and they’re actually looking forward to using it.
Hospital / Healthcare + GLP-1
Fastest Path
A decade of showing patients managing diabetes food they could actually stick with, on national TV.
She spent a decade as chef for NBC’s The Biggest Loser watching chronic conditions reverse, then authored the cookbook commissioned by the American Diabetes Association, built on one idea: the food has to be delicious enough that the patient wants to keep eating it, and the people who love them want to eat it too, at the same table, without a separate meal. Not a lecture. Your staff already knows the theory. This is the talk that finally makes it feel possible. For all of them.
Foster Care & Nonprofit
She also speaks pro bono and at reduced rates for the organizations doing the hardest work.
Devin makes time for foster care organizations, nonprofits, and charitable groups where budget is real but the need is greater. Reach out directly to talk through what’s possible.
Devin Alexander before her 70-pound weight loss
Before

Not a kale-from-the-womb person. She had to figure this out. That’s exactly why she’s the right person in the room.

70-lb weight loss  ·  20+ years maintained

“I spit out my pea baby food. I was the overweight kid on the sofa who thought she hated vegetables, hated working out, and was just… built for struggle. I was wrong about all of it. But I had to figure that out myself, which is exactly why your audience trusts me. I’m not the person who was born this way. I’m the person who engineered it. And I’m going to show their room how to do the same thing, with better tools than I had.”

— Devin Alexander
Corporate Wellness  ·  Fortune 500  ·  Executive Events

Built for teams that already know what to do.
And never have time to actually do it.

Your employees aren’t struggling because they lack information. They have the apps. They’ve read the articles. They know what kale is. What they don’t have is a system that works when the client dinner is mandatory, the flight is at 6am, and the minibar is the only thing open at 11pm.

Devin’s room fixes that. Not with more willpower. A framework that works inside the actual life your employees are living. They leave with practical tools, real dinner plans, and the first permission slip anyone has given them to enjoy the process.

Employee wellness programs where information alone hasn’t moved the needle

Executive leadership offsites and team retreats where performance and longevity intersect

Association and conference keynotes where the audience is high-achieving and time-crunched

Women’s leadership events where the speaker needs to hold the room with authority and relatability in equal measure

What Planners Say

“Devin’s keynote and cooking demo was so inspiring and engaging that all 235 unique zoom accounts stayed online for the entire hour. That doesn’t even happen at a live event.”

Kendra Puryear
Chief Development Officer  ·  Orangewood Foundation

“Devin’s energy was infectious! Her strength and confidence was inspiring for our students as they begin their journey into college and career. She encouraged our scholars to take risks, be bold and push themselves outside of their comfort zone.”

Amber Young, M.A.
Director of Curriculum & Workforce Development  ·  Give Something Back

“Devin Alexander is a skillful presenter, teacher and advocate for Foster Youth. Her series for our Scholars in the First Star Academy at UCLA has been riveting, and enthusiastically received. We look forward to repeating it.”

Peter Samuelson
President & Co-Founder  ·  First Star Foundation
Healthcare  ·  GLP-1 & Pharmaceutical Brands  ·  Diabetes Advocacy

The food expert pharmaceutical brands and hospital systems actually trust.

She didn’t just read about GLP-1 medications and blood sugar management. She demonstrated the self-monitoring side of it on camera, wearing an Abbott FreeStyle Libre CGM and partnering with Day Two’s gut microbiome program to track her own glucose response to the foods she’d spent two decades making over. She then translated all of it for the room.

Clinical credibility, on-camera experience with the actual brands, a 3× New York Times bestselling cookbook with the American Diabetes Association, and a decade on NBC watching chronic conditions reverse through food. That combination makes her the right voice for the audiences pharmaceutical brands and health systems need to reach.

Foster Care & Youth Advocacy

She didn’t just advocate for foster youth. She became a foster mom and brought her daughter home in record time.

Devin speaks on foster care for youth organizations, nonprofits, social work conferences, and advocate events. Her talks reach audiences who need to hear that the system can work. And that one committed person can change everything for a child.

“In the darkest days of the pandemic, Devin brought fun and joy to over 800 foster youth nationwide.”

Questions Event Planners Ask

Questions they always ask.
Answered.

Does Devin customize her talks for different audiences?
Yes. Always. The framework is consistent, but every talk Devin delivers is adapted to the specific room. A hospital staff event gets different stories and different tools than a Fortune 500 offsite or a women’s leadership conference. She has spoken to healthcare professionals, corporate executives, foster youth, women’s leadership gatherings, and family wellness programs, each with material built for that group.
What topics does Devin Alexander speak on?
Her talks span wellness without deprivation, using AI for personalized nutrition, diabetes-friendly eating for patients and caregivers, self-engineering and goal achievement, and foster care advocacy. She also delivers programs for business travelers navigating nutrition on the road, families managing different dietary needs at the same table, and healthcare teams who need practical tools, not another lecture.
What makes her different from other wellness speakers?
She is not the person who was born loving kale. She lost 70 pounds, has kept it off for 20+ years, wrote 10 cookbooks including one with the American Diabetes Association, spent a decade as chef for NBC’s The Biggest Loser, and is a solo mom who navigates all of this in real life every day. Audiences trust her because she has been exactly where they are. She engineered her way out.
Does Devin speak at hospitals and healthcare events?
Yes, and healthcare is one of her most requested contexts. She authored You Can Have It!, commissioned and published by the American Diabetes Association, spent a decade as chef for NBC’s The Biggest Loser watching chronic conditions reverse through food, and has spoken at hospital systems, diabetes fundraisers, and caregiver events across the country. She served as an official American Diabetes Association Ambassador and American Heart Association Ambassador, representing both organizations in media and in-person events nationwide. The talk works for staff wellness programs, patient education series, and fundraiser keynotes alike.
What is Devin Alexander known for?
Healthy comfort food. Devin is the celebrity chef and 3× New York Times Bestselling Author who proved you don’t have to deprive yourself to be fit and healthy, with the signature lines fans quote back to her: “I make your favorites fit,” “10 minutes in your kitchen can save you hours on a treadmill,” and “cut 100 calories a day and you lose 10 pounds in a year.”
Can Devin add a live cooking demo to her presentation?
Yes. A live celebrity chef cooking demo can be built into most keynote formats. It is one of the most popular elements of her corporate wellness and retreat programs. Attendees watch her recreate a dish they already love at a fraction of the calories, in real time, while she delivers the key teaching points. Logistics (kitchen access, equipment, serving setup) are coordinated in advance with your event team.
Does Devin speak virtually, or only in person?
Both. Devin has delivered virtual keynotes to audiences exceeding 1,600 attendees nationwide, with a documented record of keeping every attendee on-screen for the full hour, something event organizers call out by name in their testimonials. Virtual formats include live Q&A, a recorded demo segment, and digital takeaways sent after the event.
Has Devin spoken at Fortune 500 companies and major corporate events?
Yes. Devin Alexander has spoken for Cisco, Publix, Macy’s, Thomas & Betts, and Melissa’s Produce, as well as major health organizations including the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, NAWBO-LA, and Blue Zones. Her corporate wellness programs are customized for each organization’s industry, culture, and employee wellness goals.
Does Devin speak on GLP-1 medications, diabetes management, and food strategy?
Yes, though Devin speaks to the food and lifestyle side of it, not the clinical side. She is not a physician and does not discuss medications or protocols; she is typically booked alongside a doctor, bringing the audience draw and engagement while translating clinical guidance into food people will actually make. Devin has on-camera experience with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitor and Day Two’s gut microbiome program, authored the official American Diabetes Association cookbook, You Can Have It!, and has spoken at major health conferences including American Heart Association events. Her food-forward approach bridges the gap between clinical guidance and what patients can actually cook and eat, making her a natural fit for pharmaceutical brands, diabetes advocacy organizations, and health system patient education programs.
Does Devin offer multi-day retreats or week-long programs?
Yes. In addition to keynotes and half-day workshops, Devin is available for full-day immersives, multi-day corporate retreats, and week-long residency programs. Extended formats allow for deeper skill-building: participants go beyond inspiration to develop a personalized food system, practice cooking techniques, and leave with tools they can use immediately. Ideal for executive leadership retreats, wellness-focused company offsites, and health brand activations.
How do I book Devin Alexander? What is her speaking fee?
Email [email protected] with your event name, date, expected audience size, and preferred format. Fee information is provided upon inquiry and varies by event format, audience size, and customization required. Devin is represented by select speaker bureaus. Bureau inquiries are welcome at the same address.
Is Devin Alexander the right speaker for a pharmaceutical or health brand sponsorship?
She is one of the few people at the intersection of celebrity credibility, clinical context, and a real personal transformation, paired with years of hands-on collaboration alongside doctors treating chronic illness and weight management. Her on-camera work with Abbott and Day Two, her ADA and AHA Ambassador roles, her decade on NBC, and her 3 New York Times bestselling cookbooks make her a proven communicator for pharmaceutical brands, medical device companies, and health-focused corporate sponsors who need a spokesperson audiences actually trust.
