Dr Robert Kelly is a Consultant Cardiologist and Lifestyle Medicine Doctor. Thought Leader. Author. Health Habits Coach.
His purpose in life is to impact the heart health of at least 1 million people around the world through Cardiology and Lifestyle Medicine education, intervention and by empowering and coaching health behaviour changes.
Robert is an internationally trained, published, and board-certified private practice physician. He is an Associate Professor of Medicine, Senior Lecturer in Lifestyle Medicine, and Positive Psychology. Robert lectures in healthcare and leadership education around lifestyle medicine and human health plus performance.
Roberts is also a Certified Tiny Habits Coach and behaviour designer and helps patients to design lifestyle behaviours that improve their heart health.
He treats patients of all ages who are concerned about their heart health, their symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, heart beats racing, dizziness; a family member or friend may have died suddenly or had a stroke or heart attack; they are newly diagnosed with blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, irregular heartbeat, long Covid illness. The real problem is lifestyle – stress, poor sleep, unhealthy eating, smoking, too much alcohol and not exercising.
Roberts assesses their physical heart health, investigates, and treats them, several with stents. Then he address their lifestyle and emotional health issues to manage and, in some cases, reverse their heart problems.
He teaches patients how to design simple, easy to do and successful ways of permanently changing their health behaviours. Robert also supports and coaches them through their health journeys.
Robert also helps people including healthcare staff and corporate employee who find they are stuck in life, on a non-stop treadmill of work – sleep – work -sleep every day and are unable to stop the treadmill, pause and see what is happening to them, let alone do something about it. Many of these people are also patients.
His expertise as an Interventional Cardiologist made Robert realise that while stents do mend the heart, they do not fix the reason why the stents were needed. He became a board certified in Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching in last 5 years, which has been a game changer in helping people to change their habits, and transform their health with simple, small changes in their daily lives.
Dr Kelly has been influenced by many performance coaches, including Jack Canfield. He is on his Train the Trainer Program and have attended his Breakthrough to Success program. Robert has also used his Success Principles throughout his life and work.
He likes to keep things simple, as most people understand that. Jack talks about E+R = O. In my Cardiology practice, how patients respond to their personal circumstances, health, life, the world determines their risk of developing heart disease. Empowering patients and helping them to respond positively determines successful health behaviour change, and lifelong happiness and success.
Robert has helped patients to take small steps and change health behaviours one day at a time. He has educated them about being responsible and taking ownership for their health choices and consequences. He's had 100% success in all the programs in terms of giving people self-awareness, applying behaviour changes for better self-care. Their success has reinforced his efforts to make a greater impact on heart health around the world, starting with his own self-care and that of his clients and patients.
