His proudest achievement is chairing to completion the work of 38 doctoral students and instructing many terrific undergraduate students. Dr. Winett’s research focuses on health behavior, particularly the intersection of health psychology, behavioral medicine, and public health, and the development of primary and secondary prevention programs linked to nutrition, physical activity, and exercise.

I get emails from listeners asking me to bring on all sorts of new guests onto the show. Richard Winett is one of the names that has been repeated over and over again, and now we finally made it happen. Here's what we cover:
- Richard's journey through exercise
- How does Richard's own approach to exercise change over the years.
- What are his mistakes from measuring calorie consumption?
- Richard's current views to eating fat
- And much more!
Please note - Due to not having microphones at both ends, the audio quality of this podcast makes it difficult to hear in places. Nonetheless, it's worth getting through the inaudible parts to hear some great points of view shared by Richard.
