Anastasia Zampounidis, born in Thessaloniki in 1968 to Greek parents, began her TV career at MTV in 1999 and later presented for „Wetten, dass..?,“ Sixx TV, ZDFneo/info, and the revival of the cult show „Formel Eins“ on Kabel 1. Most recently, as a WISO consumer agent on ZDF, she exposed consumer traps, including in the documentary „Die Zuckerfalle“ (The Sugar Trap), addressing the risks of industrial sugar.

For almost 20 years, the German-Greek presenter has consistently done without industrial sugar, which gives her immense energy, clarity and joie de vivre and freed her from previous strong dependency. She has published eight successful non-fiction and cookbooks on healthy, sugar-free nutrition (including the *Spiegel* bestseller „Für immer zuckerfrei“, „Happy Eating“, „Für immer jung“ and her 2025 work „Hot Stuff“ on the menopause) and, as a trained phytotherapist and food coach, shares her expertise in lectures, retreats in Greece, her weekly podcast „Da geht noch was“ and in online courses such as „In 21 Tagen Zuckerfrei“.
