Dr. Jeff Shapiro
Health Advocate and Founder of the Golden Gate Relay
As a keynote, corporate and athletic speaker for 20 years, Jeff Shapiro, MD, has motivated audiences to improve their health through science. In his lectures, Training Well for Life, Jeff discusses exercise, nutrition, drugs, supplements, happiness, aging and surgery.
After receiving athletic and academic awards at Yale and Stanford, Jeff has coached those seeking peak wellness, appeared on ABC News 20/20 and served as a consultant for CBS News 60 Minutes and The Late Show with David Letterman.
With no sponsors and no products to promote, Jeff tells the truth regarding marketing versus science. “If I can convince a single person to make a healthier choice, it makes my day job (in the operating room) easier.”
As the founder of Organs R Us in 1995, Jeff has promoted the need for organ donors through athletics. During the Golden Gate Relay, the world’s largest organ donation run/walk/bike, teams of twelve travel 190 miles from Napa to Santa Cruz, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge at midnight supporting 125,000 Americans waiting for organs.
