Shawn Stevenson is a nutritionist, research scientist and bestselling author who has reshaped how millions of people think about sleep, food and the daily habits that change how we perform and feel.
He is the author of three national bestsellers, including Sleep Smarter and Eat Smarter, and the creator of The Model Health Show, ranked the number one health podcast in the United States with millions of downloads annually. Co-founder of the Advanced Integrative Health Alliance, his work has appeared in Forbes, Fast Company and The New York Times. He serves on the Scientific Advisory Board at Bon Charge, where he applies his research in sleep, metabolism and human performance to guide product development around light-based technologies and circadian health.
Shawn's presentations draw directly from the science behind his books and podcast. He translates peer-reviewed research on sleep quality, metabolic function and daily habits into strategies audiences can act on the same day. He has worked with executives, athletes and organizations including U.S. Bank, Mastercard and Fox Broadcasting Company.
Audiences leave his sessions with a clearer understanding of how sleep affects cognitive performance and body composition, why standard nutrition advice often produces poor results, and the specific daily habits the most productive people consistently use.
Shawn brings science-backed, actionable strategies to any stage, built to create lasting change well beyond the event itself.
Topics, sessions and talks
Most of what separates high performers from everyone else comes down to daily decisions that rarely make headlines. Shawn Stevenson draws on over fifteen years of direct access to some of the world's most accomplished people to surface the ten habits that consistently fuel their focus, energy, and impact. Grounded in nutritional science and behavioral research, this keynote gives audiences a clear, immediately actionable framework they can start applying the same day.
Health is rarely framed as a competitive advantage, but Shawn Stevenson makes a compelling case that it should be. This keynote unpacks four evidence-based pillars of physical and mental performance, showing how the right inputs — sleep quality, nutrition timing, movement, and recovery — compound over time. Audiences leave with specific, low-friction changes they can make immediately to protect their energy and sharpen their output at work and at home.
Sleep is among the most powerful and most underestimated levers for human performance, and Shawn Stevenson has spent years making the science accessible. Drawing from his international bestseller Sleep Smarter, this keynote explains how sleep quality shapes body composition, cognitive function, and career outcomes. Shawn delivers a set of practical, research-backed techniques that audiences can implement immediately to improve their recovery, their focus, and their results.
Shawn Stevenson built The Model Health Show from zero audience and zero industry connections into the number one ranked health podcast in the United States. In this session, he breaks down the strategic decisions that drove that growth: content positioning, audience trust, and the monetization models that generate sustainable income. Whether the goal is podcasting, blogging, or video content, this keynote provides a proven blueprint for building influence in a competitive space.
For entrepreneurs, physical health is not separate from business performance, it is the foundation of it. Shawn Stevenson shares seven evidence-backed strategies drawn from the habits of the world's most resilient and productive founders. This session addresses the specific stressors of entrepreneurial life: decision fatigue, irregular schedules, and the pressure to sustain output over long periods. Attendees leave with a practical toolkit to protect both their bodies and their competitive edge.
