Joe Piscatella is one of the nation’s foremost authorities on the link between lifestyle habits and health, longevity and productivity.

He is one of the longest-lived survivors of cardiac bypass in the country.

He consults on employee wellness to Boeing, Raytheon, Exxon, Sprint, the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. Naval War College. Over 2 million people have attended his seminars.

He is the author of eleven best-selling books including Don’t Eat Your Heart Out, Take A Load Off Your Heart and The Road to A Healthy Heart Runs Through the Kitchen. His newest book is Positive Mind, Healthy Heart.

Mr. Piscatella has hosted three PBS television specials. His latest, Take A Load Off Your Heart, is airing nationally. A PBS special on children’s health based on his book, Fat-Proof Your Child, is planned. He is a frequent guest on television and radio programs, including CNN, The Today Show, Fox News and Good Morning America.

Mr. Piscatella designs and manages corporate and community health initiatives. His 12-week community weight loss program in Holland, Michigan, resulted in 650 people losing 4200 pounds.

He is the only non-medical member of the National Institutes of Health Cardiac Rehabilitation Expert Panel charged with developing clinical practice guidelines for physicians, and is a national spokesperson on corporate wellness for the American Heart Association.
