How to Stay Healthy & Fit on the Road

According to the National Household Travel Survey, Americans make more than 405 million long-distance business trips per year. Business travel is necessary, but it also takes us out of our routine and can lead to unhealthy and even dangerous lifestyle choices.

A 2011 study of frequent travelers found them to be at an increased risk of fatigue, weight gain, sleep problems, stress and a general lack of fitness that can ultimately have negative (and expensive) health outcomes. This can result in potentially deadly conditions such as stroke, heart attack, and deep-vein thrombosis.

Dr. Jo’s has presented more than 1000 programs to clients including The Advisory Board, Janney, Johnson & Johnson, ExxonMobil, Johnson & Johnson, and the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses.

In this fast-paced, interactive breakout, Dr. Jo uses scientific research from her review of over 1000 medical studies and interviews with 100+ traveling executives to offer real-life strategies for improving performance on the road by showing people how to have more energy while reducing the health risks associated with extensive travel.

Dr. Jo is the author of How to Stay Healthy & Fit on the Road. In 1994, she began traveling for her own business and soon found herself falling into the same traps she now shows busy travelers how to avoid. Jo still travels with the same ugly forest green Brigg's & Riley suitcase today as when she started and its lifetime warranty has replaced just about everything but that ugly green color. Unfortunately, no such warranty exists for people - so her message and lessons are more important than ever.

Part Two – Into the Storm: Buckling up for transformational change

While stress is often perceived to be a two-step process (it happens and we respond), there are actually five specific steps that flow from one to another. During part two of Dr. Jo’s program, participants learn how to interrupt/change each of these steps in order to transform negative stress into positive outcomes.

Stormy Weather Ahead: Building resilience and managing stress

Stress happens. It’s a part of life. In fact, stress can be the great motivator, driving us forward to become better at what we do.

What Every Woman Wants: great legs, more energy, and peace of mind

Feeling frumpy, frazzled, and fatigued? It’s no wonder! The average woman is working full time both at work and at home.

This fun, funny, and motivational program is based on the real science of nutrition, sleep, and movement and is designed to address the specific challenges faced by 21st-century women.

Dr. Jo uses colorful anecdotes and stories along with scientific research from over 1000 medical studies to show audiences how to feel more relaxed, more in control, and ready to make some simple “no big deal” changes that will make a big difference in every aspect of their lives.
