Presentations &
Workshops
- Stop Dying, Start Living
- A 21st Century Approach to Human Health:
Learn how to increase your vitality and lose weight
once and for all by taking an active approach to your health.
We are all very confused and rightfully so. With all the
misinformation being spread it's no wonder we are heavier
and sicker than ever. But, could it be possible that weight
gain is simply a symptom of some other underlying health
problem? This one hour presentation, which will enlighten
the audience, focuses on modifications within your control
to improve weight, stress levels, increase energy and decrease
ailments. See the workplace studies
below. Visit Stop Dying,
Start Living web site for more information.
- Golf Conditioning:
Conditioning for golf is becoming more and more popular
as golfers are becoming aware of the rapid benefits this
can bring to their game. This seminar focuses on the proper
approach to a golf conditioning program which enables the
golfer to hit farther with more accuracy. (The right approach
to golf conditioning is much different than the conditioning
methods for other sports.) Length
is 1 hour.
- Youth Fitness (Workshop):
This workshop is tailored to the audience. Age, level of
athleticism, size and needs of the group will be considered.
Call to discuss the possibilities.
- Female ACL Injury Prevention
(Workshop): Females have a much higher Anterior
Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury rate than males. (The ACL
is a ligament in the knee.) This practical workshop ties
performance enhancement with injury prevention… the
best of both worlds. With the proper strength and conditioning,
females will create stable knees and joints that will not
only prevent injury but increase their performance in sports.
Have an idea for a health/fitness/sports
presentation for your group? I may be interested in developing
a presentation for your topic. Contact me and we can talk
about your idea.
At a recent presentation Scott
spoke “about the foundations of wellness and good
health. Scott went through the chemistry, physical, psychological
and emotional paths to healing and wellness. He gave a
very thought-provoking presentation, and even though everyone’s
nutritional and wellness “IQ’s” were
on different levels from different backgrounds and experiences,
we all learned a great deal and took part in very animated
discussions. The information that we came away with was
not only interesting, but it was practical and useful,
and not difficult to follow as some plans are. . . (Scott)
also touched upon the correct way to breathe, hold your
body, and what happens to your body when you sleep; this
is just a sampling of the subject matter that he covered!
He cited many studies and research during the presentation
. . . we learned it is never too late (to) make even the
smallest of changes to start being well!”

Workplace Wellness Studies
Health Care
Costs of Worksite Health Promotion Participants and Non-Participants
Long-term participation in a worksite health promotion program
showed that “participants (n = 3,993) had significantly
lower health care costs (29% lower total and 36% lower lifestyle-related
costs) when compared with non-participants (n = 4,341) in
the third year of the program.”

Screening for unhealthy lifestyle factors
in the workplace
This is an interesting survey of Australian workers…
employees felt the company had a responsibility and should
be interested in the workers' lifestyle. However, few employees
considered seeking advice from the company. The results of
this survey justifies why companies need to be proactive in
offering wellness programs for employees.

The Business Case for Health and Productivity
Management: What's the Return on Investment?
Average Return on Investment (ROI) of 3.48 to 1.00
for health promotion programs!
Dr. Ron Z. Goetzel, Ph.D. of Cornell University found a positive
ROI when companies incorporated health programs within the
workplace. His presentation in November of 2006 summarizes
that a well-designed health program can improve the health
of individuals, lower their risk for disease, save money by
reducing health-related losses and limiting absence and disability,
heighten worker morale, improve worker productivity, and improve
the financial performance of organizations instituting these
programs.
