Beating the Statistics Health and Fitness Consultancy Podcast, helping people design healthy lifestyles and systems that make fitness a priority and a pleasure instead of something to dread or endure through.
This group coaching call continues to go over a variety of topics around the darkening winter and how to deal with the challenges winter brings. My ever faithful Diane Morley joins me again on this call to discuss challenges to how to layer up for cold weather, experimenting with different winter-time physical activities, as well as ways to deal with some emotional winter of sorts when going through holidays and special yearly periods with feelings of loss or grief.For links to other podcast directories you can find me on, as well as to a few major social media platforms I'm a part of, please visit:https://podcast.beatingthestatistics.com/shareIf you have any questions or comments, please send me an email directly at:milesvictors@beatingthestatistics.comIf you send me questions, I will likely include them as either a part of or an entire podcast on the subject.

Getting footwear right was a struggle for me early on, but I have some tidbits and wisdom to share that I've anecdotally learned over the years. If you're struggling with how your feet, ankles, knees, hips, back, etc feel after spending time on your feet, it might be the foundation you've chosen to act as an intermediary between your body and the world around you.

I was just hit with a load of gratitude and thoughts about my journey and needed to share. This is just a random podcast where I reflect on what my body has been through and how each one of us is capable of so much more than we think we can do.

This is a continuation of the first conversation we had regarding calories and how the foods we eat make an impact. In this episode I attempt to put together the pieces of the first part to make sense in how we should eat and experiment with our nutrition. Towards the end I put all this together to give general recommendations on how you can be a scientist conducting experiments against your own biology to see what works for you and what doesn't. Hopefully this adds some value and kick-starts your approach to changing how you eat to fit your goals and meet your specific biologic needs.For links to other podcast directories you can find me on, as well as to a few major social media platforms I'm a part of, please visit:https://podcast.beatingthestatistics.com/shareIf you have any questions or comments, please send me an email directly at:milesvictors@beatingthestatistics.comIf you send me questions, I will likely include them as either a part of or an entire podcast on the subject.

Food can be a confusing and anxiety producing topic for a lot of people. Lets start from the beginning by breaking down what makes up our food, how our body uses each part of the nutrients that make up what we eat, and start understanding a bit more what we are putting into our bodies. This episode serves as a foundation for the following episode, The Truth about Calories Part 2, where we will take these learnings and apply them to helping us make better food choices, or rather dietary choices that will help promote health and fitness vs put roadblocks in our way. We'll talk about tips and tricks to building better dietary 'systems' that help us get to where we want to go.For links to other podcast directories you can find me on, as well as to a few major social media platforms I'm a part of, please visit:https://podcast.beatingthestatistics.com/shareIf you have any questions or comments, please send me an email directly at:milesvictors@beatingthestatistics.comIf you send me questions, I will likely include them as either a part of or an entire podcast on the subject.

Sometimes we sign up for things that give us a little anxiety. That is ok! When those events roll around, celebrate getting out there and getting it done anyway!

Towards the tail end, expect some words of encouragement and motivation as I talk about the benefits of signing up for things that make us nervous and why they can be such big wins.For links to other podcast directories you can find me on, as well as to a few major social media platforms I'm a part of, please visit:https://podcast.beatingthestatistics.com/shareIf you have any questions or comments, please send me an email directly at:milesvictors@beatingthestatistics.comIf you send me questions, I will likely include them as either a part of or an entire podcast on the subject.
