PD is respectful, graceful and so knowledgeable. I thought I had heard all the health advice possible, but PD manages to provide snippets of wisdom that are logical and different to typical influencers or PTs. He has a very real and human aspect to his advice. The time working with PD has been enlightening and insightful and I have been on a journey of self-discovery and have a lot of new information and guidance that will stay with me. I recommend working with PD to anyone due to his ability to switch approach according to me - he is not a cookie cutter program trainer. PD is excellent at what he does.

Tangible results in a short time, even at 68!
I knew PD for his interesting book about iron/ferritin overload and we exchanged a few emails about this issue.
As a doctor who practices natural medicine I have been health conscious for decades and I enjoy a fair amount of health and people say that I look younger than my actual age, but I’ve never done any particular physical activity.
For some time, I had been considering starting a training regimen—specifically involving weights—not to build a muscular physique (which is virtually impossible at my age), but to try to counteract the loss of strength, muscle mass, and flexibility that inevitably accompanies aging, but I never got around to starting it
When I learned about his 1-on-1 coaching, the fact that the required training time was very short (two 30-minute sessions a week) and that it was possible to work out at home immediately appealed to me, as I don't like wasting a lot of time on things I’m not passionate about like going to the gym regularly. Frankly, I’ve hardly ever been to a gym in my life and haven't done any sports since my teenage years (and I’m 68 now!).
So, I decided to give it a try and signed up for the 16-week program.
I’ve always been thin, so I didn’t have much fat to lose—just a bit of excess around my waist and chest. By following his nutritional guidelines (even if not 100% of the time), I managed to lose 3 kgs and 5 cm off my waistline in a couple of months, while working also on increasing some mass. My muscles have become more toned, my shoulders look a bit broader, and my chest looks fuller; overall, my physique has already improved, though I still need to put on 3–4 kg of muscle to reach my ideal weight (I was a bit skinny-fat when I started).
When exercising, I can now lift significantly heavier weights than when I started just four months ago.
I know people who have been going to the gym for two or three years—at least twice a week for an hour—and haven't achieved the results I saw in myself in four months with just one hour a week.
At first glance, the cost of this training isn't cheap, but after the 16 weeks, I feel the money was well spent.
PD is always available and responds quickly to all emails and requests for clarification or advice.
His professional advices and his method have enabled me to achieve tangible results in just a few months—more than I would have imagined possible at my age.
I believe there is no other method capable of delivering similar results with the same effectiveness and such a saving of workout time.
So I am happy to leave a positive 5-star review, and I wholeheartedly recommend PD Mangan coaching to anyone who really cares about their health and physical fitness.

Authentic and Doable
I loved the easy to follow guides on foods and exercises I received after signing up with PD. I could quickly locate them and easily make some choices if I had questions on a food item or an exercise move. That was super helpful! Also appreciated having him check in on me to see how I was doing!

Lost 30 lbs at 65 year old and kept it off for a year
I found PD Mangan on X (Twitter) after seeing several people I follow have great success with him. I signed up and quickly learned what I'd been doing wrong with my diet for years.
At 65, I wanted to lose about 20 lbs. PD challenged me to aim for 30, and I did it in six months while also gaining some muscle. It's now been about a year since I finished the program, and I've kept the weight off by following what he taught me.
The personal attention, supplemented by his videos, gives you the education you need. You still have to do the work, and progress will be slower than you'd like, but stick with it. It works.

Postpartum weight loss experience with P.D.
P.D. was great to work with. The skills he taught me lead me to over a 60 pound weight loss. I went from 176 pounds to 114 pounds. The dietary guidelines were fantastic for helping me achieve my goals and I was able to maintain a calorie deficit without feeling hungry. I joined this program 4 months postpartum looking to lose the rest of my pregnancy weight efficiently. I did not have the ability to train for hours and hours like I had pre pregnancy and this program was excellent for allowing me to reach my fitness goals while not having to sacrifice time with my children. I did the program for 4 months, and lost 43 pounds, but by keeping to the program after stopping with coaching I continued to lose. His coaching was well worth it for me, and I have recommended his program to others, repeatedly, and will continue to do so!

No Nonsense... just practical real world advice and instruction.
The thing I heard PD say that really hooked me was, "It's never too late to get fit." I only wish I had heard of him and got started sooner.
PD Mangan practices what he preaches and is living proof that sensible yet easy diet and strength training methods can and do produce tangible results. As a man in his mid 40's who is very active and generally fit, but just couldn't lose that last 10lbs, I like a lot of others was skeptical that relatively small changes could really move the needle. PD even told me on our first call that I was not his typical client. But I knew I needed some help and needed to change something.
PD put me on the correct, and most importantly sustainable, path to lose the weight and a year later I've easily kept it off, plus a little more. Getting stronger was a secondary consideration for me, but PD showed me that being slim and strong is the only real way to increase healthspan, and I'm so glad he did.
I would recommend PD Mangan to anyone.

Thank you for writing about your experience, Jason. You were a pleasure to work with, and I'm glad that, like the overwhelming majority of clients who I connect with again a year later or two years later, you've kept the weight off and are feeling great.

PD is a great coach !!
PD is a great coach ! He combines nutrition with easy exercises and checks in with you regularly to ensure you are on track. I started at close to 200 lbs at 5'11 and was down to 180 lbs in 3 months. My A1C dropped from 6.2 to 5.7 and many other markers were actually right in the middle of the range ..my doctor asked what did you do different and I said ate sensibly protein first and followed a specific protocol. Highly recommend PD coaching

Always awesome to see that the positive changes happening at the body composition level translate to blood work and other health markers.

Great experience working with PD
Great experience working with PD, small changes make the difference, and the results proved it.

Thank you for leaving this no-nonsense review. I, of course, completely agreed that small changes can make a huge difference. In an era where everyone is busy and starved for time, I find that the best strategies to lose fat and keep it off (and generally remain lean, fit, and strong as we get older) are to focus on small things that pay off big and that don't take up much of your free time at all. That's how you make health management sustainable.
