Riley Mandel Is a Health Coach - Meet Howie Mandel’s Lowkey Daughter
Riley Mandel has settled into her role as a health coach and lifestyle advisor. She is also the latest of Howie Mandel's children to exchange vows after she wed in 2019, much to her mother's approval.
Riley Mandel tied the knot with a software developer who has garnered tremendous experience over the years. She is also the youngest child of "America's Got Talent" cohost Howie Mandel.
Riley rarely appears in the media, unlike her older brother and sister, who have found creative ways to express themselves in front of the camera. Although she leads a life away from the spotlight, she has a social media presence of a different kind, promoting healthy lifestyle habits on Instagram.
Riley Mandel Pursued a Health-Related Career after Getting a Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy
Riley's mother and sister were proud to attend her graduation ceremony on May 19, 2018. She attained a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Chapman University in Orange, California. Riley was also given an academic excellence award, as per an Instagram post shared by her mother. Her sister also joined in on the memorable photo fun, looking overjoyed beside the proud graduate.
As the years progressed, Riley became a holistic life coach, using habitual consistency to change people's lives significantly. She uses her Instagram page (followed by more than 35,000 people as of this writing) to make health improvement suggestions. Riley once expounded on the effects of not eating enough or indulging in food that does not vary during the day.
She noted that it triggers a protective mechanism in the body, causing people to overeat at night. This can be tackled by eating foods that provide different daily nutrients for a healthy diet.
Riley shared some running advice, suggesting that runners should not stagnate in their pace as it helps to improve their run and decrease lap time. She said:
"Your pace and what you consider a jog versus a sprint will be unique to you. But including intervals of different intensities in your run is a great way to challenge yourself cardiovascularly and also seems to make the run go by faster. After every increased effort, you have a walk to look forward to, and before you know it, you've completed a 25-minute run!"
As someone who preaches about the benefits of developing healthy habits, Riley shared seven adaptations that changed her daily life. They are: consuming eight glasses of water, meditation, ensuring movement, adding fruits and vegetables to her diet, setting a goal for the number of steps she takes, avoiding social media when she wakes up, and drawing up a to-do list each day.
On another occasion, Riley provided a three-step routine for regaining motivation to work out. She recommended laying out workout gear the night before to remind oneself about their commitment upon waking up. She also suggested adding two movement targets to the weekly workout plan and finally told that people should note the movement targets on their calendars.
According to the health coach, noting workout plans helps alleviate last-minute excuses that come in the way of maintaining a workout schedule. Tyrus Murdoch's wife, Ingrid Rinick, has also shared extensive health advice that has helped her many customers and her husband.
Riley Mandel Is Happily Married to Her Software Developer Husband
Following her sister, Jackelyn Mandel's 2013 wedding, officiated by her brother Alex Mandel, Riley's father announced on Instagram in 2016 that she was engaged. According to People mag, Riley said on her Instagram, "February 27, 2016, is the best day of my life," before adding, "I'M ENGAGED TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE @cameronehrlich."
The couple tied the knot three years later in a beautiful outdoor wedding. The ceremony also featured an unusual guest - a sloth!
Riley's mother shared a photo of the bride and groom with a family member who had the creature-attendee clinging onto her shoulders.
Riley's mother also shared another photo of her kissing the groom. The health coach's mother seemed very proud as she wrote, "My beautiful daughter and her handsome husband! Love is in the air."
Before the engagement in 2016, Riley's husband, Cameron Ehrlich, worked as an iOS developer at Whisper for under a year before working as a senior iOS developer at Cie Digital Labs from August 2015 to April 2016. He was then hired as the lead iOS developer at Revo.FM, where he served for a year and five months.
After his term at Revo.FM, Riley's husband, worked at Fair.com for three and a half years. EngineStart employed him in March 2021, and he has moved up to the principal software engineer position—a position he currently holds at the crowdfunding platform. Cameron attained a degree in computer science from the University of California, Berkley.
Riley Mandel Stayed Out of the Spotlight Unlike Her Older Siblings
Riley has two older siblings, Alex Mandel, and Jackelyn Mandel. They are both—unlike her—individuals with a strong media presence. Jackelyn once crashed Howie's "America's Got Talent" interview in 2021, sharing a humorous moment with Howie where he said that Jackelyn is in the top three of his children and a qualifier in the finals.
The humor lay in the fact that he only has three children and his sneaky reference to the American talent show that he hosts with father of one, Simon Cowell, and Lou Sulola Samuel's mother, Heidi Klum.
During an interview with Access Hollywood, Riley's father revealed that he hosts a podcast with Jackelyn. They began the podcast "Howie Mandel Does Stuff" spontaneously during the pandemic, initially conducting prank calls and other gags in Howie's office before his wife suggested that he record their sessions.
Riley's brother, Alex, is a video creator who publishes incredible creative content on his Instagram page, followed by more than 156,000 users as of this writing.
