NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” trainer Dolvett Quince will be the keynote speaker at the “Conversations for a Healthier YOU” health and wellness expo at the Hyatt Regency in Buffalo from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on October 28, 2013. The event, hosted by Independent Health in partnership with The Biggest Loser Resort Niagara, is free and open to the public.

In his presentation, titled “Changing Lives One Rep at a Time,” Quince will speak about how his approach to a healthy lifestyle goes beyond physical appearance. His presentation will run from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Before Quince’s presentation, the health and wellness expo will feature a fitness sampler zone and healthy food stations from 5 to 6: 30 p.m. Through various activities and demonstrations, guests will have the opportunity to learn exercises from local fitness instructors, sample healthy snacks provided by Tops Friendly Markets and have nutrition questions answered by Independent Health dieticians.

“This event will seek to inspire individuals in our community to stay well informed about their health and educate them about the variety of factors involved in leading a healthy lifestyle, including nutrition, fitness and health education,” said Michael W. Cropp, M.D., president and chief executive officer, Independent Health. “Dolvett’s presentation will not only reinforce the physical benefits of living a healthy lifestyle, but also the positive impact healthy living can have on one’s mental and emotional well-being.”  Pre-registration for the event is recommended, as space is limited.

Guests who register by Monday, October 23, will be entered to win a door prize of two tickets to an exclusive VIP reception with Quince. For more information about the expo, please visit the Independent Health website
