The Body by Phil podcast

"I lived through it," Phil says in the first episode, explaining why anyone should listen. "I survived things that people tell me were definitely against the odds."

When COVID hit, Phil started an audio-only show on Spotify called Battling Obesity. It is still up, under the title "Battling obesity and alcoholism to becoming sober and fit." In December 2025 he moved to video on YouTube as the Body by Phil podcast, and several of the newer episodes are on both.

The episodes are short and plain-spoken, usually 10 to 30 minutes. In some he tells one part of his story: the day at the doctor's office, the three DUIs, the twenty-year cycle of hangover promises. In others he hands the microphone to a client.
