Welcome to a very special edition of Living Healthy.
On this episode, we speak with Dr. Neel Doshi, DO, a psychiatrist with Kaiser Permanente Orange County, about the importance of mental health and how exercise can act as an additional form of treatment for combating mental illness.
Dr. Doshi is double board certified in Adult Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Doshi’s comprehensive treatment approach focuses on an individual’s total health: mind, body, and spirit. He believes that by identifying and addressing underlying causes, implementing healthy lifestyle changes, psychotherapy, and taking medication when necessary, he can determine the best treatment plan and work with his patients to restore their emotional and mental well-being.

good stuff
It was a great episode! Dr. Doshi had some wonderful pointers we can all apply to our daily lives.
Great podcast! Interesting facts about the correlation of mental health and excersize by Dr. Doshi
Really glad that LA Fitness decided to tackle such an important and sensitive topic. Dr. Doshi was an amazing special guest/subject matter expert. He was able to break down and simplify a very complex subject for public consumption, but definitely only scratched the surface in this podcast episode. Hope LA Fitness decides to bring Dr. Doshi back in for several more of these podcasts to dive further. Kudos!
Thank you LA fitness for bringing awareness to such an important topic! Dr. Doshi does an excellent job pointing out the benefits of exercise.
