Just being human is the biggest gift. We came to feel.
—Dr. Mario Torres-León
Earlier in 2025, I stumbled across a program called the 28-day Gratitude Launchpad with Dr. Mario Torres-León, which blew my mind and cracked my heart open. Even though I had practiced gratitude for many years, it wasn’t until I learned to actually feel the energy of gratitude in my body as Dr. Mario teaches, that I began to experience true healing. I’m feeling more consistently happy than ever before, and opportunities are coming into my life in a way that I never thought was possible. I’m deeply grateful for Dr. Mario and couldn’t be more honored to welcome him to our show!
Dr. Mario Torres-León, a native of Puerto Rico, is a Harvard Medical School, Yale University and Columbia University College of Physician & Surgeons educated radiologist, and Founder and CEO of Alive Partner. As an international personal development and health coach, speaker and author, he has reached and impacted the lives of millions of people through his work on TV, radio and multimedia platforms.
In this episode, Dr. Mario talks about his journey of discovering healing gifts at a young age, working as a physician for over 30 years, and growing through relationship challenges as a married man and a father. He also shares powerful insights about the gift of being human, and how the practice of gratitude combined with feeling, has transformed not only his life but also the lives of countless people in his community.
At one point in the interview, I was practically sobbing as he told me the story of successfully operating on a patient who was severely allergic to anesthesia, by guiding him to tap into the power of love within him. It gives me so much hope for humanity to see more and more doctors like Dr. Mario empowering people to tune into their innate healing abilities!
