P.D. Mangan 1-on-1 CoachingReviews of pdmangancoaching.com

PD is the man!

PD is incredibly knowledgeable and able to answer questions with clarity. His plan is easily followed and he was able to adapt it well to my needs. If you want to live healthy and long as you enter your later decades, you can’t do better than talking to PD Mangan.

Very good coaching. You can see PD has done this for a long time. He can review your situation and diagnose what is needed for you to be successful while ensuring it doesn’t seem like a sacrifice (because it isn’t). It allows you to keep with the plan and see the results

PD provides a program that is all encompassing. It’s not a cookie cutter approach. Personal and extensive providing a wealth of science backed useful information presented for real world and living results. Not a diet but a life plan easily adaptable to real life. Manageable and flexible to fit and integrate into all lifestyles. Personal attention and solutions are always available. Helpful accountability and result tracking is part of the program with access to a portal to keep everything in one convenient resource.

The real deal. He showed me how to move the dial when my weight had been stuck for years.

PD’s program was full of great information and a personal touch. The best thing is it worked. A year after I started, 9 months after I finished, I have kept off 90% of the weight I lost and have a lifelong understanding of how to control my weight and enhance my fitness. I have and will continue to recommend PD’s strategy.

I'm approaching the end of month 2 of a 12-month coaching program with P.D. (He has different length coaching programs to choose from.) I've been totally pleased so far. He creates specific workouts and a complete meal plan that allows plenty of flexibility and only includes foods you are okay with eating. Sometimes I've followed the recipes exactly, and other times I've just made similar meals while still tracking overall macros, and I've continued to progress both ways. (And no, tracking or calorie-counting is not required if you just follow his meal plans.) He is super responsive via text message if I ever have any questions about exercise, eating, supplements, or how to navigate special events like birthdays and holiday eating strategies. It is always him personally coaching me and answering any questions, and scheduled Zoom meetings are also included for face-to-face discussion, which I enjoy. He also provides weekly teaching videos and handouts which I always look forward to. In my late 50's, I started out slightly obese, at about 40% body fat, with about 60-70 lbs. to lose. Two months in, I'm already down about 20. So far, so good. But the primary concentration is on leanness and muscle growth instead of pure scale weight; this program is more about being a whole body recomposition plan than simply a weight-loss plan. Me having come from a carnivore diet preference, this is still compatible with that, emphasizing adequate protein, medium fat, lowish carbs. But I'm losing more fat on this program than I was before. I know some of that is because of the emphasis on the importance of the workouts. The workouts are short, twice a week, and only around 30 minutes each, and there are NO long "cardio" grinds on the treadmill. I have found the workouts very sustainable, even enjoyable. I found P.D. on Twitter at the Venn diagram intersections of animal-based eating, intermittent fasting, low-carb, longevity research, short intense single-set workouts, emphasis on leanness for health, skepticism of mainstream medical advice, and the importance of resolving metabolic syndrome by increasing insulin sensitivity. I enjoy his frequent Twitter posts discussing these subjects. I've also read some of his books, which have proven valuable, too. I'm working on lowering my overly-high blood iron levels because of his longevity insights. I am already glad I went ahead and purchased the 12-month program instead of the 4-month program, because I feel like I'm just getting started and can't wait to see what progress I make the rest of this year.

This program is so doable and when followed as directed, produces the results you want in spades. I would recommend PD to anyone who is serious about getting healthy. Gaining strength while losing weight is the key to youth and vitality. Pain decreases or leaves altogether. Confidence is built. Energy and sleep get better and better. Just do it! I am 60 BTW!
