Joseph Piscatella Profile
Joe Piscatella is a dynamic, entertaining and results-oriented speaker. President of the Institute for Fitness and Health, he is widely respected as a cutting-edge expert on the link between lifestyle habits and personal and organizational health. His remarkable communications skills educate, entertain and move audiences to action.

Not Your Ordinary Joe
Joe Piscatella is one of the country's most respected experts on how to live a healthy lifestyle. But there are a lot of experts on this topic and more than a few good speakers, so why should you choose Joe?

First, because he really knows his subject. As the author of 13 books, host of three PBS television programs on heart health, and a "guest expert" on WebMD, he presents the latest science on diet, exercise, stress and attitude.

Next, Joe's personal experience of coronary bypass surgery at age 32 gives him a practical perspective that audiences value. The prognosis at the time of surgery was that he would not live to age 40. Today, because of healthy lifestyle changes, he is 38 years post-surgery. What he did and how he did it are central to his presentations. Joe is a speaker that lives his message.

And finally, he is a master at using stories and anecdotes to make a point. Audiences smile and laugh throughout his presentations as they learn how Type A Joe got two speeding tickets in 20 minutes. He uses the art of storytelling, contagious humor and decades of experience to help audiences remember the information and advice.

Joe blends facts, advice and motivation into his balanced-living programs. Says one client, "Joe is a fabulous speaker with a story that is relevant, personal and life-changing. His message inspires audiences to take action. He is a top-quality presenter."

National Expert
Joe's community wellness program -- 6 Weeks to a Healthier You -- is nationally recognized as one of the most effective population intervention programs for creating healthy habits.

Dynamic Speaker
The art of storytelling, contagious humor and decades of experience deliver a powerful, practical message that moves audiences to live healthier lives. Over 2 million people have attended Joe's powerful keynote speeches and breakout sessions steeped in humor, insight and practical "how to" tools. With his energy, sense of humor and decades of experience, Joe captivates and motivates audiences, inspiring them to take steps toward healthier living.

Stress Management for Bailout Times

Stress Management for Bailout Times
How to Manage Stress Effectively for Increased Health, Longevity and Productivity
In this era of too little time and too much to do, of increased career and family commitments, of crawling traffic and never ending e-mails, Americans are living with chronic stress. Indeed, 89% of us say that the stress in our lives is overwhelming. The result is often high levels of frustration, anxiety and anger.

In this presentation, Joe examines the impact of chronic stress on health, productivity and quality of life. He helps audiences understand that the secret to a balanced life is not to avoid stress, but to manage it; not to react to stress, but to respond to it. His program not only examines the sources of stress in modern life (including Type A personality), but it provides audiences with a variety of mental and physical tools to successfully manage stress every day.

Overcoming Barriers to Healthy Living

Overcoming Barriers to Healthy Living
From Information to Action
Healthy living - a benefit to the individual and organization - starts with good information. What is a healthy diet? What's the best way to exercise?

And today people know the difference between an apple and a piece of apple pie, between going out dancing or watching Dancing with the Stars! But knowing the information isn't acting on the information. Why this chasm between information and action? Because information alone is not enough. If it were, we'd be a nation of non-smokers.

In this dynamic and inspirational program, Joe Piscatella provides practical solutions to overcoming barriers and making healthy changes that last a lifetime. Audiences learn how to get started and stay the course.

Make Your Health Last As Long As Your...

Make Your Health Last As Long As Your Life
Maximizing Health Span, the Number of Healthy Days in Your Life
Just because you can afford retirement doesn't mean that you will have the quality of life to enjoy it. While a financial plan is important, a good health plan is critical. There is a difference between longevity, the amount of years you live, and health span, the number of years you live in good health. Two people, for example, each live to age 85. But while the first spends the last 20 years of life in a golf cart, the other spends those years in a wheelchair. Their respective longevity is the same, but their health spans are drastically different. In this timely program, Joe examines the lifestyle habits found in societies all over the world where people not only live longer, but also have extended years of good health. Learn what you can do now to maximize your "health span" and increase the number of years you will have good health.

Women and Heart Health

Women and Heart Health
A Heart-Healthy Lifestyle for Females of All Ages
Contrary to popular belief, men are not the chief victims of heart disease. The truth is that heart disease is an equal opportunity affliction. While about the same number of women as men have heart disease, it is by far the number one killer of women. Indeed, over 250,000 women die from the disease each year; more than the next 14 causes of death combined. In this presentation, Joe examines how primary cardiac risk factors - such as cholesterol, triglycerides, coronary inflammation, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, and others - impact women, and he helps attendees to calculate their personal risk. In addition, he covers women-specific topics such as hormone replacement therapy and signs of heart attack. With a heart-healthy lifestyle, women can prevent, stabilize and even reverse heart disease.

Eating Healthy In A DoubleBurger.Com World:
A step-by-step Guide to Healthy Eating in the Real World
A balanced diet is critical for good health and increased performance. But how do you sort out what is balanced in a world of conflicting claims where fat and carbohydrates see-saw being in, then out, where a tablespoon of ketchup can contain a teaspoon of high-fructose corn syrup, where food supplements claim to be healthier than food itself, and where new weight-loss diet books appear weekly?

In over three decades of successfully managing his heart disease, Joe knows fad diets from real science. His sensible, realistic program offers basic principles for healthy eating, including cutting-edge methods on how to control your fat tooth. (That's right, fat tooth, not sweet tooth!). More importantly, he gives nutritional science real-life application. Audiences will learn how to read food labels to make smart choices at a grocery store, what the secret is to cooking healthy food at home (and having your whole family enjoy it), and how to handle eating in the company cafeteria or in a restaurant.

Raising Fit Kids in a Fast World:
Strategies for Overburdened Parents
Raised with the temptations of fast food, television and computer games, kids are more sedentary, overweight and out-of-shape than a generation ago. The typical 12-year old today weighs 11.7 pounds more than his or her counterpart in 1973. In the last decade the obesity rate in white children has increased by 50%; in Hispanic and African-American kids, it has doubled. The result: a generation of children with elevated cholesterol, higher blood pressure and more Type 2 diabetes. This may be the first generation not to live as long as their parents. What are parents to do? This seminar offers practical and easy-to-implement strategies for teaching children healthy exercise and eating habits that will last them a lifetime.
