Robert Huizenga, who has appeared on episodes of NBC’s The Biggest Loser to help participants tailor their diet and exercise regimens to their specific medical needs, spoke at UNT in April as part of the university’s Distinguished Lecture Series.

The lecture series, with previous speakers including George W. Bush, Robert M. Gates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., John Legend, Bill Nye and Suze Orman, is intended to introduce the university community to world-class speakers whose messages will enhance student learning outside the classroom.
