In today’s episode, Dr. Mantell, one of the most sought-after behavioral science experts in the world, joins us from San Diego, California. He believes that we must “put care and compassion out front in healthcare and fitness.” Dr. Mantell, perhaps one of the most passionate and animated clinical psychologists you will ever meet, shares his personal story of how losing his father, and later his thesis advisor, to obesity motivated him to complete his thesis at Hahnemann Medical College on the psychological aspects of obesity.
Through decades of research and studies, Dr. Mantell discusses the power of cognitive-behavioral coaching through the acronym, H.E.L.P. (Health, Enhancement, Lifestyle, Plan) After authoring multiple books, courses, articles, and publications around the globe, Dr. Mantell is a coveted speaker at fitness and medical fitness conferences to share his messages about the power of using “exercise to prevent medicine” and shed light on his favorite personal quote, “The Link is What You Think.” This “captures his approach to helping clients live better lives, healthy, fit and happy.”
