He is a TEDx speaker, has authored two best-selling wellness books, co-starred in the ABC Television production 'My Diet is Better Than Yours', and most recently developed a 12-week Behavioral Intervention Program designed to treat addiction, PTSD, and obesity.

In Jay Cardiello’s presentation "Diet and Exercise Makes You Fat," he challenges the effectiveness of traditional fitness strategies, highlighting how they often lead to metabolic imbalances and increased stress. At the KAILO Summit 2025, Jay will build on this theme and introduce the "Death Bed Theory," a mindset that he has created and adopted which emphasizes prioritizing meaningful relationships, personal fulfillment, and emotional well-being over rigid diet and exercise routines. By adopting this holistic approach, we can achieve a balanced and happier life, focusing on what truly matters in our final moments.
