The Brad Jensen Show

Pinch me, is this real life? Today's guest was Adam Schafer from Mind Pump. For those not familiar with Mind Pump, it is one of the biggest fitness podcasts in the world. A top 5 downloaded podcast with over 2.5 million downloads per month. It was such an amazing honor to have Adam on the show. There was much value provided in this episode, I would be selling you short trying to summarize it. Trus...

Today's episode was on a cliche subject, yet so incredibly important. Learning how to embrace the process. So many people hear that, but what does that really mean? I shared my personal story of when I finally bought into the process of recovery. How it changed the trajectory of my whole life, and how it all correlates back to ones fitness journey. I am passionate about this subject. The passion b...

Today's episode was deep. Our guest was none other than one of the most respected Keto coaches out there, Coach Tara Garrison. What I love about Tara is even though she is an expert in Keto, she is not a zealot with it. She is not dogmatic on any one approach being the best for a client. She educated us on how to properly use Keto, and why throwing in carbs can be such a valuable tool. We also tal...

I had a lot of fun recording today's podcast. I had a lot of great questions to answer. I tried to go in depth as much as possible with each and every one. This was a Q & A style podcast and was not only fun, but also very informative. I also touched on my thoughts on the obesity crisis in America, and what we can do to help fix it!    Additional Questions covered: Best protein powder? Tips for so...

I have been following Dr. Megan Rigby, aka Macro Mini for a long time now. So to get her on the show was not only exciting, but was an extreme honor. We covered her career in the medical field as a gastro, and how that helped her be able to provide maximum value to her clients. Her knowledge of gut healthy is at the top of the list in the space. Her now thriving coaching business was built off of...

In a space with so much BS, my aim on this podcast was to help you see through all this nonsense and bring clarity to what is in fact truth, enjoy!   Download BS Nutrition Myths   Connect with us on Instagram Host Brad Jensen...

Alycia is someone I have followed for a while now and felt not only excited, but honored to have her on the show. The thing I really love about Alycia is how raw and real she is. She doesn't sugar count anything, and with an industry that has a lot that, she is breath of fresh air. We dove into her story on growing up with a father who was committing white collar crimes. How it changed the traject...

Today's episode was on another one of those "not sexy" subjects, yet so incredibly important to your long term success. NEAT expenditure, which stands for non-exercise activity thermogenesis. I went over a graph showing total daily energy expenditure (see below) and it shows just how important getting those steps in are! The message was simple... Want to amplify your results? Move MORE! Hope you g...

Today's episode was absolutely pure fire! We felt extremely honored to have Alison Faulkner on the show! Better known as @thealisonshow on Instagram and her top 100 ranked podcast, Awesome With Alison. This episode was just that, AWESOME! She has a way of speaking that truly impacts the masses. We covered everything from how to be vulnerable opposed to using vulnerability, to creating space in you...

Today's podcast was on a subject I have gotten hundreds if not thousands of questions on over the years, MEAL PREP! Today was joined by my co-host and partner in crime, Michelle. Together, we tried to deliver some value around different hacks you can do to help simply your life. People often make meal prep way to big of deal in their head, and get what I like to call paralysis by analysis. It does...

Today's episode was with our good friends Johnny and Bethany from Top Notch Nutrition. If you want to hear a story of triumph and overcoming the odds to never walk again, then definitely stay tuned! I really enjoyed the different angles this episode took. We also talked about how they started their incredibly successful supplement line. Also the reasoning behind the supplements they manufacture an...

Today's episode was dual purpose in covering two different topics. First was a night routine and the importance of it. We have talked about how a morning routine changed my life, but I feel I didn't talk at all about how a night routine helps tie it all together. Second thing I covered was the 5 Rules for self respect. Full transparency it was a post by Tom Bilyeu I saw on Instagram. It was so imp...

Today was a special one for me. I had the chance to interview my long time friend and competitive bodybuilder, Mike Symkoviak. Mike was a guy who knew me in the depths of my addiction and still treated me with love and respect. He has competed over 17 times and has a passion like you wouldn't believe for the sport. With some of the negative light we have shed on competition, Mike's story reminds u...

Carb cycling 101 - The how. the what, and the why. The term carb cycling is thrown around a lot and the funny thing is there is not one set way to carb cycle. With so much gray area around it I thought it was important to try and narrow this down for you all. This method has some merit, and if used correctly, can deliver great results. This isn't just for fitness competitors or athletes, carb cycl...

Today's Podcast was a special one. We had Maria Ayne, also known as nutritionistmaria on social media platforms, join us. A powerful episode where we covered so many different topics. I have wanted to have Maria on our show for a long time now because her message is so raw and authentic. The diversity she brought to the podcast by talking about subjects like spirituality, meditation and how it all...

Today's podcast was on the pros and cons of both meal planning and flexible dieting. It's a subject that has a lot of opinions around. I gathered my own personal antidotal experience along with all my teams input to bring you this podcast. With well over 25 years combined experience on this subject, my hope is this helps you navigate personally which approach is best for you! Intro also touched on...

We were joined by our good friend Sam Miller today to talk all about supplements! We tried to pack as much as we could into one hour on this very broad subject. Everything from sleep aids, to adaptogens, to sports performance supplements and more! We also asked Sam his 5 staple supplements he uses daily. Sam is a wealth of knowledge and we were grateful for his time to be able to pick his brain! ...

Today's episode was centered on the one subject that is literally killing peoples results, PATIENCE! Everything great takes time. If you truly learn to deploy patience, you will enjoy the journey of fitness exponentially more! Where are you in a hurry to get to anyways? The punch line is, this is a life long deal, enjoy the ride! Take 30 minutes and get re-centered on having patience with yourself...

Today's podcast was with my friend Lindsey Mathews (Trainer Lindsey). And man, was it a good one! Lindsey has a thriving coaching company and has competed in physique shows 16 times! But this is so much more then a story of a competitior. It is a story of redefining yourself after your identity is attached to one particular thing. It's learning to be comfortable in your own body, no matter how rip...

Todays episode was on cortisol and stress. I dove deep on the research and why cortisol is not always a bad thing. However, today the way we have it chronically elevated is severely compromising not only our health, but our body as whole.  Interesting that we are seeing declines in hormone levels at an exponentially higher rate today than we did 30 years ago. The one big culprit for that is the ex...

On todays episode, Michelle and I talked all about travel! It's the time of year that so many are out and about traveling. Michelle just got back from Hawaii for 8 days and we went into her eating while traveling and steps she implemented to minimize damage. We also give you 10 tactical steps to implement when traveling to help you enjoy your travel, but not undo all your hard work!    Downloadabl...

Today's episode was a short one but straight to the point. The saying "win your morning, win your day" has a lot of truth to it. I dove into how a morning routine has been so crucial to my success personally and how I believe it could benefit you! I also give you an example of my routine and how you can spin off of that no matter the length of time you have available in your mornings! Regardless i...

Today's episode featured Tommy Clark from TClark Nutrition. Tommy Played basketball his whole life and even worked his way into a Collegiate scholarship. However, he realized while playing college basketball, he wasn't fulfilled. Nutrition and Nutrition coaching is what fueled his fire! After making the hard decision to walk away from college sports, he jumped into coaching with a specific desire...

Today's episode was a solo podcast where I dove deep on the subject of "motivation". The problem is, we get sold motivation by all the gurus to buy their course, their e-book, etc. I believe we are often manipulated to believe motivation is found externally, when I am here to tell you, motivation is actually found internally. Hopefully today's quick rant will give you some better insight on how to...

Todays Episode was the first official title of the "Coaches corner". I was honored to have Robyn Peck and Trisha Jensen, two of our amazing coaches at Key on the episode. We dive into a lot of Q and A that came from our amazing listeners. We covered everything from if it fits your macros, to mindset and motivation, to the dreaded "diet" word. We also talked about what our current nutrition and tra...
