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.
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.
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.
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.
