Guest Expert Profile:

Joe Piscatella is one of the nation's foremost authorities on the link between lifestyle habits and health, longevity, and productivity. In his seminars, which have been called "a force for positive change" by Time magazine, he teaches how to live a healthier, better-balanced life in our stressful modern society.

Piscatella knows the science of healthy living. More importantly, he understands the practical application of that science. His experience of undergoing coronary bypass surgery at age 32, and subsequently managing heart disease successfully for 33 years, gives him a practical perspective that audiences appreciate. He is one of the longest-lived survivors of cardiac bypass in the country.

The president of the Institute for Fitness and Health, Piscatella lectures extensively to a variety of clients, including Fortune 1,000 companies, professional associations, and medical organizations. He consults on employee wellness to Boeing, Raytheon, Exxon, Sprint, the Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Naval War College. More than 2 million people have attended his seminars. (To view seminar clips, please visit http://www.facebook.com/joepiscatella.

He is the author of 12 best-selling books including Don't Eat Your Heart Out, Take A Load Off Your Heart, The Road to a Healthy Heart Runs Through the Kitchen and Positive Mind, Healthy Heart. His newest is Prevent, Halt and Reverse Heart Disease. For more information, please visit http://joepiscatella.com/bookstore/.

Piscatella has hosted three PBS television specials and is a frequent guest on television and radio programs, including CNN, The Today Show, Fox News, and Good Morning America.

Piscatella designs and manages a corporate and community health initiative called "10 Weeks to a Healthier You." In one program, 650 people lost 4,200 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.
