“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”.  We looked at the main points in the documentary to determine what parts are completely false, what’s not the full story- and what part has some valid points.

Mike and I continue our conversation this week in part two of the listener Q&A.  In this, we dive into a host of topics that will help give answers to questions you may have had about for peak performance on and off the trails.  We look at:

• Why aiming for calorie-density for trail nutrition is a waste of time.  

Whether you are finding your way in mountain nutrition or at home, Mike's questions delivers some great and insightful lessons.

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?

Most people don't lack motivation, believe it or not.  They lack a plan.

They're willing to invest the time, but knowing what to invest the time in is the #1 many folks derail good intentions by the second week in February.

In this episode we cover three key things in developing a plan that will actually work for you this year.  I'm joined by Chantelle from Uphill Athlete for segments of it as well.  No matter where you're at or what your goal(s) are, I think everyone will find something in this episode to help give focus to the plan.
