The Brad Jensen Show

We're wrapping up our three-part Key Nutrition Coach Spotlight Series with two more of our incredible coaches, Alyssa Munio and Nick Kratz. In this roundtable conversation, we dig into what they've learned from coaching real people through real fitness journeys—the wins, the struggles, the plateaus, and the moments where a client finally breaks through. I asked Alyssa and Nick pointed questions ab...

Part 2 of our three-part Coaches Roundtable Spotlight is here. This time, I'm joined by Key Nutrition coaches Rob Gibson and Derek Harames for a conversation about the keys to their success — both in their own fitness journeys and in helping clients create lasting results. We dig into the lessons they've learned through years of coaching, what separates the clients who succeed from the ones who co...

What are the real "keys" to getting results — and keeping them? In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I'm joined by three of our most senior Key Nutrition coaches: Tom Hippler, Jenn Pinnell, and Chelsey Bird. With our recent rebrand to Key Nutrition, I wanted to sit down with three coaches who have spent years in the trenches helping real people navigate fat loss, nutrition, training, mindset,...

What happens when someone publicly disagrees with you, criticizes your message, or reacts to your content in a way you don't exactly love? Your first instinct might be to defend yourself, fire back, or let your ego take over. In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I break down a recent situation where someone reacted to one of my videos and strongly disagreed with my message. He...

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sit down with Javier Lucas Coles—entrepreneur, father, author, and powerful leader—for a deep conversation about what masculinity actually means. We unpack why masculinity feels like it's under attack today, but probably not for the reasons you might think. Lucas breaks down the difference between healthy, grounded masculinity and the loud, aggressive, ma...

On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Brad and cohost Craig Smith put some of the most popular personal development strategies to the test—ranking them from S Tier all the way down to F Tier. From breathwork, therapy, life coaching and journaling to reading, walking, meditation and more, we break down what we believe actually helps you evolve—and what might be overrated. We share our personal e...

We're going back to our roots — Key Nutrition is back. In this solo episode, Brad breaks down the four keys that have driven results for over a thousand clients across 20+ years of coaching: consistency, adherence, performance, and longevity. No new program, no new phase — just the same principles that have always worked, under the name they started with. Plus: details on the rebrand giveaway — 6...

In this episode I break down The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and show you how each one applies directly to your fitness journey. Be Impeccable with Your Word: the promises you keep (or break) with yourself shape whether you follow through. Don't Take Anything Personally: a bad workout or a stalled scale is data, not a verdict on your worth. Don't Make Assumptions: stop deciding what will or...

whether high volume or low volume training is better for building muscle — and honestly, I think most people are asking the wrong question. In this episode I break down what the research actually says about training volume and proximity to failure, because these are two separate things that constantly get lumped together, and conflating them is where a lot of the confusion comes from. The short ve...

In this episode, Craig Smith and special guest co-host Grant Dziak join me for a rapid-fire round of overrated and underrated topics across fitness, nutrition, supplementation, personal development, business, and more. From popular diet trends and training methods to mindset strategies, recovery tools, and everyday habits, we break down what we think deserves more attention—and what might be getti...

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I'm joined by Craig Smith and Grant Dziak for a free-flowing conversation that took us in a direction I didn't expect—but one that I think will resonate with a lot of people. We dive deep into the topic of identity and the role labels play in our lives. We talk about how some labels can be incredibly damaging, keeping us stuck in patterns and beliefs that n...

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I sit down for a candid conversation about life, growth, and the importance of taking risks. We discuss Craig's decision to step into a new career opportunity, the fear and uncertainty that come with major life changes, and why so many people never give themselves the chance to see what's possible because they're unwilling to bet on themselv...

Peptides are everywhere right now. They're one of the hottest topics in the health and fitness space, but there's a side of the industry that most people aren't talking about. I break down some recent findings on gray market research peptides and why the results were alarming, even if they weren't entirely surprising. The reality is that this remains a largely unregulated industry where consumers...

It's time for another monthly Q&A episode with Craig and me. In this episode, we answer some of your biggest questions around fitness, mindset, health, and personal development. We dive into what self sabotage really means, why so many people unknowingly get in their own way, and the fitness hill I'm willing to die on. We also discuss how much of weight loss is truly physical versus emotional and...

After a little two week hiatus, we're back. In this episode, Craig and I catch up on life, talk through my recent trip to California, share some laughs, and dive into a handful of conversations around health, mindset, social media, and the kind of content people need to be more careful consuming online right now. Honestly, this one was a little bit of everything. No super structured agenda. Just t...

In this episode, I sit down with Deborah Rozman from HeartMath to dive into emotional regulation, stress, nervous system health, and the connection between the heart and brain. We talk about why so many high performers are successful externally but still internally dysregulated, how chronic stress impacts physical and emotional health, and practical tools to create more coherence, resilience, and...

On this month's Q&A episode, Brad and Craig go off-script and dive into a wide range of real-life topics that are actually affecting people right now. They kick things off with a bigger-picture conversation around life—how perspective shapes everything, why most people overcomplicate things, and where they see people getting in their own way the most. From there, they get into a real and necessary...

This one is a real, honest mix of growth, pressure, and calling out some of the traps high performers fall into. We dig into what it actually means to "quit" something — and why quitting isn't always weakness. Sometimes it's alignment. Whether it's habits, relationships, or even careers, there's a difference between giving up and moving on. I also touch on plans for upcoming peptide conversations...

In this episode, I sat down with my cohost Craig Smith to break down my weekend at a local bodybuilding show and everything it brought up for me. We talked about how insane it is what the human body can achieve at that level—but also how misunderstood it is. A lot of people think you can just take steroids and look like that, and that's just not reality. It takes years of discipline, precision, an...

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most well-known pioneers in the energy healing space, Dr. Bradley Nelson — creator of The Emotion Code and author of The Heart Code . I'll be honest… this is the kind of stuff I used to think was straight-up "woo-woo." But after having firsthand experience with energy work, I've changed my perspective — and this conversation goes deep into why. We break...

In this Q&A episode, Craig and I dive into some of the most common struggles we're seeing right now around nutrition, training, and knowing what actually matters. We start with the all or nothing cycle. Being dialed in during the week, then losing it on the weekends and feeling like you're starting over every Monday. We break down what's really driving that pattern and how to get out of it. We tal...

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Mills. Mike is a past participant of Next Level Experience and someone I have a ton of respect for as a man. We get into his journey over the last couple of years, including completing 75 Hard not once, but twice. But what stood out most in this conversation is that it wasn't about the physical transformation. It was about what it did for him mentally, emotion...

On this episode of the Brad Jensen Show, I wrap up the final part of our 3-part NLE Boot Camp series. This one is solo. Just me tying everything together. We've already covered the emotional and mental levels in parts one and two. In this episode, I bring it all home and introduce you to the spiritual level. This is the piece most people either ignore or completely misunderstand. And it's also the...

In part two of our three-part series, I sat down with Frank Young to dive into something that impacts every single area of your life… your relationships. Frank has been married for 35 years and brings a level of wisdom and real-world experience that you just can't fake. Not only that, but he coaches relationships in his own business and inside of the Next Level Experience, so this isn't theory… th...

In this episode, I'm joined by Cass Zimmerman, one of the absolute rockstar coaches inside the Next Level Experience. If you've listened before, you already know… she brings the heat every single time. This is part one of a three-part Boot Camp series where we're pulling back the curtain and giving you a real look at what we actually teach inside NLE. Not surface-level stuff. The real work. We kic...
