David Meinz

For over twenty-five years, health promotion expert David Meinz has been helping people enhance both their personal and professional productivity. He is both energetic and interactive with his audiences. As an award-winning international speaker, author, and frequent radio and television guest, he presents his inspirational and content-rich keynotes to groups worldwide.

Meinz has been a full-time professional speaker since 1991 and has earned the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation in the National Speaker's Association, a distinction currently held by only seven percent of all professional speakers. He is also a fellow of the American Dietetic Association (FADA), an honor held by less than one percent of all dietitians. He is the only individual to hold both designations. Meinz has taught nutrition at the university level, worked in human nutrition research and clinical dietetics, and was the director of a hospital health promotion program.

As a Christian and a dietitian, he was pleased to discover that many of the current scientific recommendations on health and nutrition closely follow the Old Testament dietary laws. Just as a person's spiritual health can affect their physical health, Meinz also believes that a person's physical health can positively impact their spiritual health as well.

He believes that physical health and prevention of illness have, for the most part, been overlooked by the Church. Meinz believes it is better to stay well than to be healed. While spiritual health is, of course, of the highest importance, he points out that the Bible teaches that our earthly vessels have value and importance as well. He reminds his audiences that Jesus ministered to people's spiritual needs most often by also ministering to their physical needs.
