Heart Health Expert
Biography
IN 1977 JOE PISCATELLA was a successful
businessman. He and his wife had just moved into a new home with their 6-year
old daughter and 4-year old son. Everything was going so well . . . until it
suddenly fell apart. EXPERIENCING DISCOMFORT in his chest while playing tennis,
Joe went for a routine physical exam. Two days later he had emergency open-heart
bypass surgery for a 95% blockage of the coronary arteries.
HE WAS 32 YEARS OLD.
THE PROGNOSIS DID NOT LOOK GOOD. In fact, one doctor predicted that Joe would
not live to see his children graduate from high school.
REFUSING TO ACCEPT THIS, Joe did extensive research and interviewed medical
experts. He created a plan for a healthy, balanced life-style that he could
implement.
THE RESULTS were dramatically evident in his improving health. At the urging
of his doctors, Joe wrote about his experiences in DON’T EAT YOUR HEART OUT. A
national bestseller, it was followed by CHOICES FOR A HEALTHY HEART, CONTROLLING
YOUR FAT TOOTH, THE FAT-GRAM GUIDE TO RESTAURANT FOOD and FAT-PROOF YOUR CHILD.
His most recent books are TAKE A LOAD OFF YOUR HEART (co- authored with Dr.
Barry Franklin), THE HEALTHY HEART COOKBOOK and THE ROAD TO HEART HEALTH RUNS
THROUGH THE KITCHEN. His books have sold over 5 million copies and are used in
health education programs throughout the country.
IN 1982 HE FOUNDED the Institute for Fitness and Health, which helps
organizations support healthy, balanced lifestyles of employees. Today, Joe
Piscatella is one of the country's leading authorities on changing behavior to
increase health and productivity. His live seminars have reached over 1.5
million people.
JOE SPEAKS OFTEN at companies, professional associations, and at hospitals.
His keynotes and workshop presentations have been praised by Time Magazine for
effectiveness and an upbeat, entertaining style. Joe has a personal commitment
to help others.
HE PRACTICES WHAT HE PREACHES. As a result, tests now reveal a reversal of
heart disease. But more importantly, now age 61, he lived to see his son and
daughter graduate from college, has had the privilege to walk his daughter down
the aisle, made a toast at his son's wedding, and has held his first grandchild.
JOE PISCATELLA’S inspirational story will captivate and motivate your
audience. He teaches lifebalance principles that everyone can use to increase
the quality of their life. His compelling message, laced with humor and
delivered in an energetic style, captivates audiences and produces outstanding
results.
THAT’S ONE REASON WHY Joe Piscatella is a popular speaker for association
conferences and conventions. A best-selling author as well as a speaker, he is
one of the country's most respected experts on lifestyle habits, lifebalance and
health. He presents information that is current and sound, practical and
easy-to-use.
BUT INFORMATION ALONE is not the reason Joe's keynotes and workshops are in
demand. Joe has the ability to put a human face on the science of healthy,
balanced living. He uses his personal experience to make the information ring
true for his audiences.
