“I recently watched a documentary suggesting that meat is the source of all health issues- should I stop hunting?” This was a question we had on the documentary “What the Health”.

Over 75% of the Valley to Peak audience is men- a huge following. So, why in the world would I choose to do an episode ‘for the ladies? Because many of you have told the women in your life about Valley to Peak (thank you!). We also started to see that many of the women we talked to all had the same questions...the same goals...and the same struggles. Who better to filter those questions through than two women who have shared the struggle, faced it, and been successful? Plus, what better way to say 'thanks' to the women in our life on Women's Day in 2024 than an episode dedicated to them? Tif Social Media Racheal Social Media Foundations Plus Spring Group

What a year! We wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to you, first and foremost. Second, we wanted to give you an idea of what's coming in 2024 and have the first chance if you're interested. Finally, we end with a listener who reaches his goal. This is an extension of the podcast we started with Ken H from earlier in the year when he asked me "what do you mean this is 'so simple'?" Ken talks about what it felt like to reach his goal several months later. Links from the episode: 1. FAQ fact sheets. 2. Foundations Plus 3. Apply for coaching. 4. Part 1 with Ken H.

Dave, like many folks who reach out to Valley to Peak, wanted to lose a few pounds and have better physical capabilities in the mountains. However, it was two other goals that really drove his motivation. One of these was a really small patch of aspens above his house.

This is his (powerful story). -- Interested checking out other resources to support your nutrition goals? Check out the Valley to Peak Website.

Most of us will sit down to watch the Lions get smoked tomorrow after a belly-full of turkey. Most of us will also doze off without any recollection of who won the coin toss or possession that followed.

Paul joins me this week as we explore how to better manage this and ensure it happens less often.

“I read about all of these supplements, teas, and things that are supposed to increase my metabolism. Do they work or is there anything that would?” In the second part we tackle, what proved to be, a tough question for me: "I know you’re a big fan of tracking, but what if I don’t want to? Are there any lessons or tips you’ve learned over the years that would help someone achieve their goal without the arduous task of tracking?" ---- To learn more about our resources or working with Valley to Peak, check out the information here!

There’s practical information and tools you can use to apply to your own life as well and I think you’ll really enjoy it. ---- Interested in learning more about dialing in your own nutrition for your goals?

From Exo Mtn Gear: Your truck won't run with an empty tank. And it also won't run well, or for long, or the wrong type of fuel. The same is true of you. To perform your best, you need to fuel properly. But what does that mean?
