In today's episode, Stan discusses why he feels it is essential for fitness professionals to be mindful of the political landscape, and the impact that politics has on their client's health. He dives deep into a recent post speaking to why posting content irrelevant to the 2020 Elections or like nothing was going on during that time is a privilege that takes up space for important conversations to be had.Resources:Stans PostAmanda Howell On InstagramDr. Jennifer Hutton On InstagramMiriam Fried On InstagramFollow Better Coaching On InstagramHow Much A Dollar Cost By Kendrick Lamar - ListenHow Much A Dollar Cost By Kendrick Lamar - LyricsHow Much A Dollar Cost By Kendrick Lamar - Dissect Podcast

In today's episode, Stan talks about why we need to zoom out and stop looking at health from our "nutrition and fitness bubble" where we define health as being largely a result of nutrition and activity. We take a look at the social determinants of health, allostatic load, and the impact that stigma, discrimination, and racism have on an individual's health.We'll be covering this subject more in-depth with guests speaking about supporting LGBTQ+ clients, the social determinants of health, as well as allyship and anti-racism for fitness professionals.This is not a political podcast, but politics does play a role in these things. In today's episode, as well as in the show notes, evidence and science is cited. Science is not political and doesn't care what your opinions are. *Mic Drop*Get In Touch:Follow Stan On InstagramSchedule A Consulting CallFollow Better Coaching On InstagramListen To More EpisodesResources:Follow Dr. Jennifer Hutton on Instagram for Allyship informationThe Social Determinants Of HealthAllostatic Load - DefinitionAllostatic load burden and racial disparities in mortalityImpact of Stress and Strain on Current LGBT Health DisparitiesLearning from Transmasculine Experiences with Health Care: Tangible Inlets for Reducing Health Disparities Through Patient–Provider RelationshipsStigma, prejudice, discrimination and health

Stress sucks - sometimes it's good stuff (like planning a wedding) and sometimes it's just plain stressful stuff (like work stuff).

In today's episode, Stan talks about how our bodies react to stress, his most stressful time, and how he slowly but surely used fitness and nutrition to regain his health.
