Download H-Res VersionJoe Piscatella was 32, with a young wife and family, when the unthinkable happened: He had emergency cardiac bypass surgery for aggressive heart disease. One doctor predicted he would not live to age 40, but after years of eating healthier, managing stress, exercising effectively, and keeping a positive attitude, he is one of the longest-lived survivors of cardiac bypass in the world (34 years). He has become a bestselling author on heart-healthy living as well as a high-energy speaker and workshop leader for corporations, hospitals, and general audiences.
How did he turn what he learned into what he practiced and beat the odds? The answers are in his talks, workshops, and bestselling books, which have over 125,000 copies in print: PREVENT, HALT & REVERSE HEART DISEASE; POSITIVE MIND, HEALTHY HEART; and THE ROAD TO A HEALTHY HEART RUNS THROUGH THE KITCHEN. “Joe Piscatella knows more about healthy living than anyone I know,” says Dr.William C. Roberts, Editor-in-Chief, The American Journal of Cardiology. Joe himself says, “You can’t change the cards you were dealt, but you can change the way you play them.”
