Joe Navarro appeared on programs such as The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett and Modern Wisdom, where he drew upon his extensive career as an FBI agent to discuss human behavior, body language, and dealing with toxic individuals. During his conversation on The Diary Of A CEO, Navarro recommended the book The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. He referenced the work while discussing the profound physical toll that proximity to toxic individuals and chronic stress can inflict upon a person.
