Jay Kordich (born August 26, 1923), is an advocate of health through the consumption of raw foods. He is the creator of the Juiceman and responsible for bringing juicing to America through television, based on sixty years of dedication, and is the direct protege of Dr. Norman W. Walker and Dr. Max Gerson, the doctors who brought the concept of juicing to the world.

In 1948, Jay "The Juiceman" Kordich contracted bladder cancer at twenty-five. A world class athlete and football star at University of Southern California, Jay travelled across the United States to New York City to get well by world-renowned medical doctor, Dr. Max Gerson, who helped Jay cure himself of bladder cancer through an all-juice diet . As a result, Jay’s life took a drastic turn for the better within only three months.

In 1989, Jay started his national television career, making appearances with his juicer, and by the end of 1990, Jay Kordich and juicing were widely known. His award winning infomercials aired for over thirteen years.

Jay Kordich placed the "Juiceman" name onto his own Juicers, which included the Juiceman, Juiceman II, and Juiceman Jr., which were priced competitively, and made available to consumers through infomercials, catalogs, and retail in the 1980s and 1990s.

His book, The Juiceman's Power of Juicing reached #1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list, selling over two million copies.

The Juiceman line of juicers are now being distributed by Salton Inc. and are no longer endorsed by Kordich.

His second book, this time co-written with his wife, Linda Kordich is entitled: Live Foods Live Bodies.
