Episode 15 – Looking After Yourself: Mind, Body & Eating Well

In this episode, Maxine talks openly about looking after yourself both mentally and physically. She shares her experience of taking part in Dry January, what she’s learnt about alcohol, balance, and knowing your limits, and why awareness matters more than restriction. The conversation also focuses on nourishing your body with regular, sensible meals, ditching the guilt around food, and why starving yourself doesn’t support long-term health or weight loss. We explore balanced eating, portion awareness, cutting back on sugar, filling up on fruit and vegetables, and allowing the occasional treat — all with kindness, not punishment. A gentle, honest episode about building a healthier lifestyle that actually lasts.

Episode 14 – Running Together: Support, Safety & Showing Up

In this episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, we talk about the importance of community, support, and moving safely. Maxine shares why the MKB Healthy Living Virtual Running Club is about encouragement, not competition, and why you never have to do this journey alone. We also cover the importance of warming up, stretching, staying hydrated, and using electrolytes after longer runs — all key parts of building a healthy, sustainable routine. This episode is a reminder to move kindly, listen to your body, and support one another along the way.

Episode 13 – Keep Moving Forward: Building Movement That Lasts

In this episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, we talk about why building movement gradually is one of the best things you can do for both your body and mind. We explore the benefits of moving regularly, how to stay motivated, and why you don’t have to do it alone. From joining groups and local communities to Parkrun and finding movement you actually enjoy, this episode is all about creating habits that last — without pressure, comparison, or guilt.

Episode 12: Consistency Is Key – Set Goals & Keep Going

In this week’s episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, we’re talking about why consistency matters more than motivation when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.   We explore:   * Why small, regular actions create lasting change * How setting realistic goals helps you stay on track * Why sharing your goals increases accountability * Simple ways to move more and eat well without pressure * A quick, healthy meal idea you can rely on during busy weeks   This episode is all about progress over perfection — showing up, even on the days you don’t feel like it, and building habits that support your wellbeing long-term. ✨ Remember: consistency beats intensity every time.
