Not Your Ordinary Joe
Joe Piscatella is one of the country’s most respected experts on how to live a healthy lifestyle in the real world. He knows the science of balanced living, but uniquely understands the practical application of such science from his own experience.
Picture this: You are 32 years old with a young family and a successful career. One day while playing tennis, you feel some pressure in your chest. Two days later you are having cardiac bypass surgery for aggressive coronary disease.
That's what happened to Joe. The prognosis was not good. One doctor even predicted that he would not live to age 40. But Joe didn't accept that opinion. His philosophy: "You can't change the cards you were dealt, but you can change the way you play them."
He concentrated on eating healthier, managing stress, exercising effectively and keeping a positive attitude. And it's worked. Joe recently celebrated the 32nd anniversary of that surgery, making him one of the longest-lived survivors of cardiac bypass. He is living proof that with motivation and the right information, living a balanced lifestyle for optimal health and performance is possible.
