But information alone will not make your company healthier. Most people already know about the benefits for themselves and their companies of not smoking, eating healthy, exercising regularly and managing stress effectively. But they still don't practice those habits. That's where Joe can help. A high-energy speaker with a proven program for success, he is a man with a visionary message and the extraordinary skill to tell it. He uses the art of a storyteller, contagious humor and decades of experience to deliver a powerful, practical message that moves audiences to adopt healthier habits. Says the Benefits Education Manager for the Weyerhauser Company, “If companies want their people to live healthier, they have a responsibility to help them develop positive skills. Joe Piscatella is a bridge to those skills.”

NATIONAL EXPERT
It would be great if his appreciation for good health was the result of native intelligence. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. At age 32, Joe underwent coronary bypass surgery. The prognosis was not good with doctors predicting he would not live to be 40. But Joe’s philosophy was that “you can’t change the cards you were dealt, but you can change the way you play them.” And he did by developing a healthy living program. How has it worked? He has now celebrated his 30th anniversary of that surgery and has experienced heart disease reversal.

Today the effectiveness and practicality of his advice is recognized nationally. He is a frequent guest on The Today Show, CNN, Good Morning America and Fox News. He has hosted three PBS television specials on lifestyle and health. He is the only non-medical member of the National Institutes of Health Expert Panel on Cardiac Rehabilitation. And his 12-week community weight-loss initiative in Holland, Michigan, resulted in 650 people losing 4200 pounds.

CAPTIVATING SPEAKER
Joe delivers powerful keynotes and breakout sessions rich in humor, insights and “how to” tools. Joe knows the science of balanced living. More importantly, he puts a face on that science. He captivates and motivates audiences, and inspires them to take ownership and responsibility for their health. And he does it in a way that makes people laugh. TIME magazine says “Joe Piscatella skillfully weaves humor, a fresh approach and common-sense ideas into an energized presentation that delivers outstanding results.” Over 2 million people have attended his programs.

BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
Joe's work includes ten best-selling books. His newest books are Take A Load Off Your Heart, a cutting-edge book on stress, and The Road to a Healthy Heart Runs Through the Kitchen, straight information on a healthy diet. Says Dr. William C. Roberts, Editor-in-Chief of The American Journal of Cardiology, "Joe Piscatella knows more about healthy living than anyone I know."
