Why My Talks Are Different

Most wellness presentations are filled with good advice.

Sleep more.

Exercise more.

Eat better.

The problem is that most people already know those things.

What they often don't understand is why these behaviors matter, how they work together, and which changes are most likely to improve their health, energy, and long-term performance.

That's where my talks are different.

For more than two decades, I've led clinical research studying how nutrition, metabolism, exercise, and lifestyle influence the aging process. My goal isn't simply to present the science. Rather, it's to make it practical, understandable, and immediately useful.

Your audience leaves with something far more valuable than motivation.

They leave with a clearer understanding of how their bodies work, why small daily choices matter, and what they can begin doing immediately to improve their health and performance.

Because lasting change begins with understanding.

Speaking Topics

Healthy Aging: Adding Life to Years

Living longer is only part of the goal. The real opportunity is maintaining energy, strength, mobility, and independence throughout life. This presentation explores the latest science of healthy aging and provides practical strategies your audience can implement immediately.

Ideal for: Corporate wellness programs, leadership retreats, healthcare organizations, and professional associations.

Metabolic Health & Performance

Energy, mental clarity, and physical performance all begin with metabolic health. This presentation explains how metabolism changes with age, why muscle is central to long-term health, and how nutrition and lifestyle influence performance at every stage of life.

Ideal for: Executive teams, high-performance organizations, healthcare professionals, and benefits programs.

Brain Health & Cognitive Resilience

Emerging research continues to reshape our understanding of brain aging. The encouraging news is that many of the strongest influences on cognitive health are within our control. This presentation explores the lifestyle factors that support lifelong brain health while separating scientific evidence from popular myths.

Ideal for: Leadership audiences, healthcare systems, older adult organizations, and professional associations.

Intermittent Fasting & Metabolic Flexibility

Intermittent fasting has generated enormous interest—but also considerable confusion. Drawing from both my own research and the broader scientific literature, this presentation explains when fasting works, why it works, and who is most likely to benefit.

Participants leave with an evidence-based framework they can confidently apply.

Ideal for: Corporate wellness events, healthcare audiences, and general professional organizations.

Resilience, Recovery & the Biology of Stress

Stress affects far more than mood. It influences metabolism, sleep, cognitive function, inflammation, and the aging process itself. This presentation explores the biology behind chronic stress and provides practical, research-supported strategies for building resilience in demanding environments.

Ideal for: Leadership teams, healthcare organizations, first responders, and high-pressure industries.

Customized Programs

Every audience is different.

Whether your organization is focused on leadership performance, employee wellbeing, healthy aging, healthcare innovation, or another wellness-related priority, I work with event organizers to tailor presentations that address your audience's specific goals and challenges.

Flexible Formats for Different Contexts.

Keynote — 45 to 90 Minutes

A high-impact single presentation designed for conferences, company-wide events, and large professional gatherings. Structured to deliver a clear, memorable framework your audience takes home — not just a collection of interesting facts.

Half-Day Workshop — 3 to 4 Hours

A deeper dive into one topic with time for application, Q&A, and audience-specific discussion. Well-suited for leadership teams, executive off-sites, and organizations that want their people to leave with a practical action plan rather than a general impression.

Full-Day Executive Education

A comprehensive program covering multiple areas — typically metabolism, brain health, performance, and stress — with structured exercises and personalized takeaways. Designed for senior leadership teams and high-performance groups that want a thorough, evidence-based education.

Ongoing Partnerships

Some organizations bring me back quarterly or annually to build a sustained culture of evidence-based wellness. This format works especially well for healthcare systems, large corporations with wellness initiatives, and professional associations with recurring events.

Why Organizations Invite Me to Speak

Many speakers are excellent communicators.

My advantage is that I bring the perspective of someone who has spent more than 25 years conducting the research behind the message. As a professor at the University of Florida and an NIH-funded researcher, I've dedicated my career to understanding how nutrition, metabolism, physical activity, and lifestyle influence healthy aging and long-term health. I've authored more than 250 peer-reviewed publications and have had the privilege of helping shape the scientific conversation in areas such as intermittent fasting, metabolic health, and healthy aging.

When I step on stage, I'm not simply sharing interesting ideas or summarizing someone else's work. I'm translating decades of research, including my own, into practical insights that audiences can understand, trust, and apply.

Just as importantly, I know where the science is strong, where it's still evolving, and how to separate evidence from enthusiasm. That allows me to answer difficult questions with honesty, acknowledge uncertainty where it exists, and provide recommendations grounded in the best available evidence.

Professional audiences appreciate that.

They've heard plenty of motivational talks. What they're looking for is clarity, credibility, and practical insights they can use long after the event is over.

That's what I strive to deliver every time I speak.

What You Can Expect

From our first conversation to the day of your event, my goal is to make the process straightforward,

collaborative, and tailored to your audience.

We Start with Your Audience

Every engagement begins with a conversation about your organization, your audience, and your goals. I want to understand who will be in the room, what challenges they're facing, and what you hope they'll take away from the experience.

A presentation for senior executives navigating high-pressure leadership demands is very different from one designed for healthcare professionals, community organizations, or employees participating in a wellness initiative. While the scientific foundation remains the same, every presentation is tailored to the audience it serves.

A Thoughtful, Well-Prepared Presentation

Once we've identified the right topic and format, I'll develop a presentation that aligns with your event objectives. I'll also provide everything your team needs in advance—including my biography, introduction, presentation materials, technical requirements, and any other requested resources—so your planning process is as seamless as possible.

Image

An Engaging Experience

On the day of the event, I arrive prepared, on time, and ready to connect with your audience. My presentations are designed to be interactive, approachable, and grounded in conversation rather than lecture, creating an experience that encourages curiosity, discussion, and practical application.

Continued Support

My involvement doesn't necessarily end when the presentation does. Many organizations choose to continue the conversation through audience resources, leadership discussions, workshops, or additional educational programs. I'm always happy to discuss opportunities that help reinforce and extend the impact of the event.

Who I Work With

My presentations are designed for organizations that want more than an inspiring keynote—they want practical, evidence-based strategies that help people improve their health, resilience, and long-term performance.

I regularly speak for:

Corporate Organizations

Companies investing in employee wellbeing, leadership development, and workplace performance through conferences, wellness initiatives, and executive programs.

Healthcare Organizations

Hospitals, health systems, medical groups, and healthcare professionals seeking the latest evidence on healthy aging, metabolic health, brain health, and lifestyle medicine.

Professional Associations

National and regional associations looking to provide members with engaging, research-based presentations that translate complex science into practical action.

Leadership & Executive Programs

Executive education, leadership retreats, and high-performance teams seeking strategies to enhance energy, resilience, decision-making, and long-term wellbeing.

Conferences

Industry conferences focused on healthy aging, longevity, nutrition, metabolism, lifestyle medicine, performance, and preventive health.

Fees and Availability.

I keep my speaking calendar intentional — I don't take every inquiry, and I'm transparent about fit early in the process. If I'm not the right speaker for your event, I'll tell you directly.

The best way to find out if we're a fit is a short conversation.

No commitment required. A 20-minute call is all it takes to know whether this makes sense.

Let's Find Out if this is the Right Fit.

The process is simple. Click the button below, choose a time on my calendar, and answer a few short questions about your event. I'll come to the call prepared to have a real conversation — not a pitch.
