🎤 Now Booking Speaking Engagements: Inspire Health with Science, Story & Strategy
As a board-certified emergency physician and lifestyle medicine expert, I’ve spent 20+ years on the frontlines of healthcare — and what I’ve seen is clear: poor lifestyle choices and chronic disease are silently eroding lives long before anyone arrives at the ER.
That’s why I now speak to audiences who are ready to reclaim their health through evidence-based, sustainable change. I help people understand how daily food choices directly impact long-term personal and environmental health. My mission is to make the science simple, the solutions doable, and the message empowering.
Perfect for:
- Keynote speeches
- Corporate wellness workshops (virtual or on-site)
- University & student health talks
- Community organizations/nonprofits
- Podcast guest appearances

His sharing of personal experiences and hardships made a significant impact on the audience. He conveyed complex information in a way that was easy to understand. The level of detail was perfectly tailored to a wide audience, ensuring that everyone could follow along and grasp the concepts.
One of the most impactful aspects of Dr. Steve Piriano’s presentation was the clear call to action.

Dr. Piriano generously came to present to two of our partner schools (so far) and provided a compelling presentation about the benefits of a plant-based diet in an easy to understand format. His gentleness and friendly personality made him the perfect presenter that participants could easily connect with. He was very easy and a pleasure to work with during the planning stages of the process! The Coalition for Healthy School Food highly recommends Dr. Piriano as a speaker. You won’t be disappointed!

We were happy to have Dr. Piriano visit our college to present “Exploring a Plant-Based Diet” to our students and campus community. He is not only knowledgeable about the benefits of a plant-based diet but presents his information in an engaging way. The presentation was useful and relevant and covered not only what to eat but why to eat it, focusing not only on the advantages to the human body but to the environment as well. Our audience was captivated and asked many pertinent questions, opening up discussion. We look forward to having him return for future programs.
