Biography

Seuss. Pepper. Jekyll. Dre. J.

If he’s not already, Brad Nieder, MD, CSP*, will soon be on your list of favorite doctors. And unlike some of those mentioned above, he’s actually a real physician! He’s also a funny motivational keynote speaker and master of ceremonies. Yes, Dr. Brad–”The Healthy Humorist®”–is unlike any other doctor you’ve encountered.

Described as “Jerry Seinfeld with an ‘MD,'” the funny doctor was infected with the comedy bug while watching Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show” monologues from the foot of his parents’ bed. When he got older and stayed up a bit later, he discovered David Letterman’s “Late Night” antics. He taped and memorized George Carlin’s HBO specials. He wrote funny articles for his Denver high school newspaper. He was a founding member of an improvisational troupe (The Simps) while an undergraduate student at Stanford University. And he performed clean standup comedy throughout Denver while he was in medical school at the University of Colorado.

“I literally had tears running down my cheeks, and I was not alone.”

–David Embrey, Tyson Foods

After completing his internship and getting his medical license, the funny speaker began delivering his unique brand of Healthy Humor around the country to corporate audiences, convention crowds and conference attendees. Physicians, nurses, bankers, teachers—indeed people from all industries—have benefited from the comedian doctor’s house calls. It’s an unusual medical practice, but when Dr. Brad dispenses humor, inspiration and education, it just may be the best preventive medicine available!

“Brad’s humor was at the perfect level for a corporate event.”

–David Peterson, Deloitte

Dr. Brad has been a professional keynote speaker for over two decades!  He earned the CSP* designation in 2011 and is simply one of the best conference speakers and clean comedians in the meetings industry today.

“Hands down, your session was the best received!”

–Dan Cook, GE Healthcare

When he’s traveling the country, Dr. Brad likes to indulge in “The Healthy Humorist®’s Unhealthy Eating Adventure Across America” (#THHUEAAA), in which he consumes such fare as Italian beef in Chicago, BBQ in Austin and ice cream in Columbus. (Yes, he agrees it’s weird that central Ohio has such an abundance of great frozen treats!) The health and wellness speaker eats healthier when he’s home in Colorado, where he likes to spend time with his lovely wife and three wonderful kids. He also tries to practice the healthy part of what he preaches by running, swimming, skiing and fly-fishing in the Rocky Mountain sunshine.

“You and your presentation were PERFECT!”

–Gail B. Stoops, Philips

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

A Funny Motivational Keynote Speaker Who’s Also A Doctor?! You Must Be Joking!

Yesssss! You’ve done it! You’ve found the funny motivational keynote speaker you’ve been looking for! And he’s a physician, too, so he can diagnose and treat what ails you! Is burnout a problem? Are you struggling with employee engagement, morale and performance? Want to improve workforce wellness and resilience?

You know such improvements result in a return on investment in the form of enhanced productivity, better quality of service, improved customer satisfaction, lower costs and ultimately an improved bottom line.

Brad Nieder, MD, CSP*, knows it, too! And he can help by making a house call to your conference, convention, meeting or employee event!

Not the stereotypical motivational speaker, this funny doctor does NOT deliver rah-rah-you-can-do-it-cheerleading and hackneyed acronyms of gobbledygook. That’s just not his style. Rather, this conference keynote speaker uses his medical background and sense of humor to engage and uplift. Your audience will be motivated to change their perspective, lighten up and laugh more. They’ll be inspired to choose optimism and increase their level of joy at work and in life … in short, to be happier!

This funny motivational speaker won’t stop there, though. He wants to educate, too, so he always dispenses valuable information in his keynote speech. Your participants will learn why laughter is the best medicine (unless they have giggle bladder incontinence) … for combating stress, feeling better and living longer. They’ll get the latest wellness advice, too, learning new healthy habits to improve health and well-being. And it all will be delivered in a memorable manner unlike that of any other physician they’ve encountered!

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

Dr. Brad’s entertaining signature keynote is called “Laughter is the Best Medicine.”  It’s different every time he performs it, though, as he tailors it for every audience.  Is your group stressed out?  Are they dealing with change?  Low morale?  Burnout?  Excessive regulations?  New technology?  Dr. Brad will customize the program for your crowd.  But you can always expect the following:

First and foremost, it’s funny.  The healthcare humor will tickle your funny bone and have you laughing.  Dr. Brad has been known to skewer such topics as healthcare lingo, diet plans, pharmaceutical ads, medical marijuana and scrubs.  He’s even been known to break into song!

Second, it’s uplifting.  Dr. Brad is not a rah-rah motivational speaker like Tony Robbins (although he does have big teeth like Tony).  He’s a funny doctor.  Still, he’s inspiring.  You may find yourself committing to lightening up and laughing more.  Or to adopting a new healthy habit.

Third, it’s educational … but not in a boring way.  This medical comedian will have you laughing as you learn why laughter really is good medicine … for combating stress, feeling better and living longer.  And Dr. Brad always dispenses some wellness advice, too, in an entertaining manner unlike any other doctor you’ve encountered. (Oh, you can even get continuing education (CE) credits too!)

So that’s it in a nutshell: a funny doctor who delivers healthcare comedy, an uplifting message and valuable information.  You’ll be feeling better in no time!
