We were lucky to catch up with Stevie and Will Winsborrow recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Stevie and Will thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about the best advice you’ve ever given to a client? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)

At Khronology we don’t believe in extremes, We don’t use fad diets or cookie cutter programs. We tailor each client’s plan to what works for them. We believe in “The Middle Way”. In the fitness and nutrition field, that looks like making sure you do healthy things MOST of the time, but not taking it to extremes. Eat healthy and what works for your body most of the time, but have occasional indulgences. Move your body for fitness most of the time, but listen to your body and take off from exercise now and then. We use this same principle when discussing other aspects of lifestyle such as sleep, stress, toxins, etc.
We have found that this concept helps our clients to be able to make lasting, sustainable changes for life. This leads to happy, healthy clients!

Stevie and Will, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

the study of unaging through time.

​

At Khronology Functional Fitness and Nutrition, we take a different approach to the concept of “diet and exercise”. Whereas the former implies a temporary activity with an end goal in mind, we prefer to utilize nutrition and fitness as an ongoing part of a permanent healthy regime in order to have optimal health at all stages of life. We achieve this through guiding our clients to adopt habits that work within their personality and current lifestyle, in a way that is easily adaptable as life changes.

​

While aging is inevitable and cannot be stopped, it can be slowed. Both quantity as well as quality of life can be improved as the human body and mind are very resilient and malleable. There is no timer within you that automatically causes you to break down once you have reached a certain number of years in service. Much like a vehicle, the odometer may state how many miles you have been driven, but the care and maintenance given greatly extends the performance and life of your engine.

​

Rather than exercising to reach a definitive goal, whether that be pounds lost or muscle mass gained, we believe in general overall fitness as the primary objective; the other goals becoming pleasant side effects. Functional fitness focuses on overall fitness to get through life without injury and pain, rather than just making sure you have “guns” or a nice butt. Doing yardwork, carrying heavy items, playing with kids, improving your golf game, staving off cognitive decline – these are all examples of life activities that can be improved with functional fitness.

​

Nutrition is also approached with a lifelong mentality. Diets do not work. Oftentimes fad diets are followed and possibly results achieved, with said results more often than not being temporary. Food should be healthy but also enjoyed, with allowance for occasional indulgences along the way. Nutrition is one of the most important things you can do to keep your body and mind from declining rapidly; however, strict adherence and obsession can actually contribute to the reverse affect. To this we add functional nutrition principles – finding the root cause of your maladies and using food as medicine to heal.

​

A healthy lifestyle also contributes to improved overall well being. Laughter, quality sleep, avoidance of toxins, good mental health and other simple steps can be easily taken to enjoy life to the fullest while feeling great. While fitness and nutrition may be the prevalent topics in our work with you, these other factors will come into play. You have to have all pieces of the puzzle in order to be complete.

​

It is our hope that you will allow us to help you achieve optimal wellness to enjoy a full, healthy and happy life.

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

No.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?
