All too often, clients join our Smart Nutrition Coaching Program having spent years taking care of everyone else but themselves, only to realize that the person they see in the mirror is no longer a reflection of who they want to be.This exact scenario played out with my wife, Kristina. A former collegiate athlete and all-around hard-charging individual, Kristina put all of her time and effort into work, taking care of our three kids, and volunteering what little time she had left. She found herself drinking more alcohol than she'd like to admit, snacking in the evenings, hitting up fast food restaurants on the way home from work, staying up too late, and not getting enough sleep. She realized that she wasn't living up to the person she wanted to be for her kids.A few years ago, Kristina made a massive shift. She left her job in corporate America, became my business partner, hired Coach Joey, started to prioritize herself, and her results have been incredible.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm excited to share my wife's experience both in the trenches at Body Systems and as a client, along with all of the wisdom, knowledge, and advice she has gleaned over the last few years.If you're pouring all of your energy into your children, your career, and/or your commitments, and you're unhappy with the person you've become, then I hope this conversation resonates with you and gives you the kick in the pants to start shifting your mindset around what could be possible if you start prioritizing yourself.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

If it sounds too good to be true...It probably is.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I call bullshit on all the crap being spewed over social media on how to lose weight without having to make any sacrifices. Without giving up alcohol. Without tracking your food. Without meal prepping or meal planning. Without giving up junk food. Because there will ALWAYS be tradeoffs. And while you don't have to do all of these things to lose weight, the process is going to be THAT much harder in the long-run.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

In today's special Q&A episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'll discuss some of the common practices that people think that they should be doing, but actually are probably hindering their success, whether you can still lose weight while drinking alcohol and eating junk food, if you need to stretch before I work out, and whether or not being sore is a sign of a good workout.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Things change as we get older. We start to accumulate more belly fat. We have a harder time losing weight. We have a harder time recovering from our workouts. We experience more stress and frankly have more responsibilities. We have more excuses as to why it becomes harder to eat healthier and exercise. We feel like we just don't have enough time to do the things we need to do to move the needle. And if we do, we feel like the things we used to do aren't working anymore.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm sharing what I call my 10 commandments of fat loss over 40, and ways we can start to look at nutrition, fitness, strength training, joint health, and recovery a little bit differently.

What happens when you have your fitness game dialed in but aren’t seeing the changes you were hoping for?What if you feel like you’re eating healthy but still stagnant with your physique and weight loss goals?What type of training and dieting strategies actually work for long-term success?In today's episode, I catch up with Amber Brueseke, a wife, mom of four (ages 10-17), and a former RN who founded Biceps After Babies because she believes that being a mom doesn't have to mean your fittest days are behind you. What started as a little Instagram account to share her fitness journey online has become a business focused on empowering women to achieve. Her signature coaching program MACROS 101 has helped over 8,000 women use the tool of macro counting to build a nutrition plan that's both effective and enjoyable. Amber has a distinct talent for pinpointing the underlying obstacles preventing clients from reaching their goals. She has taught her unique coaching methodology to over 150 coaches in her Transformational Macro Coach Certification.In today's conversation, we discuss:💪 Her journey from Nurse and busy mom to nutrition coach and business owner.💪 We talk about how learning how to track macros was the pivotal lever in her body composition changes and how she’s been able to build a business around helping other women and mothers do the same.💪 Amber and I dig deep into mindset, pre-existing beliefs, and identity change as the most fundamental components of true growth and transformation💪 How we can leverage accountability, externally and internally to create autonomy and long-term success.💪 Lastly, we share the power that comes from modeling healthy nutrition and exercise for our kids and the responsibility present for every parent to do the same.If you’re desiring personal growth, ready to make change, and looking for the tools to become the type of person that is lean, healthy, and strong for your family and your future, then this episode is for you.I loved this conversation and am confident you will too, so without further ado, here’s Amber Brueseke.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Raising healthy, happy kids shouldn't be so hard. Yet, despite living in what should be the golden age of medicine, our children are sicker than ever. Nearly 1 in 2 kids has a chronic condition, whether it's eczema, asthma, ADHD, anxiety, autoimmunity, or even all of the above. Many parents are at a loss for who to turn to for trusted advice - advice that takes a root-cause, holistic approach to whole child resilience, but that doesn't dismiss the value of conventional pediatrics.Today on the show I am excited to bring back Dr. Elisa Song. Elisa is a Standford, NYU, UCSF-trained pediatrician and one of the foremost pioneers and trusted experts in pediatric integrative and functional medicine. In her holistic pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, she's helped thousands of kids get to the root cause of their health concerns and helped their parents understand how to heal their children from the inside out. Elisa is also the author of the Health Kids, Happy Kids: An Integrative Pediatricians Guide to Whole Child Resilience.In today's conversation, we discuss the alarming trend in children's lifespans and how the gut microbiome holds the key. Dr. Song shares her journey from conventional to integrative medicine, the detrimental effects of antibiotics on kids' gut health, particularly during infancy and adolescence, and the connection between the gut microbiome and your immune system, brain development, mental health, mood, and behavior. We also talk about strategies to empower children and parents to make informed health choices, emphasizing education on reading food labels and understanding how what we choose to eat impacts our overall health. And finally, Dr. Song offers actional advice for parents to support their children's health, including dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments.For all parents and healthcare providers listening, this episode is a call to action to reevaluate and reinforce the foundations of health in our younger generation.

About 1 to 2% of our population has celiac disease, and most people don't even know they have it. Similarly, as many as 1 in 10 people are gluten-sensitive, and most have no idea.Today on the show I'm joined by my close friend Kelly Meehan, IHP, MBCE, OD, FAAO. Kelly is an integrative health practitioner, certified health coach, wife, and busy mom of three with a passion for helping families find and learn how to achieve optimal wellness through an integrative approach to health. Kelly brings a wealth of knowledge, not only from her multiple degrees but also from her own experiences dealing with Celiac disease. In today's episode, we dive deep into the topics of Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. We talk about the atypical symptoms of gluten sensitivity that go far beyond digestive issues, including effects on brain function, mood, energy, and skin appearance. We discuss why gluten sensitivity goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. We talk about Kelly's health journey navigating a Celiac diagnosis for both herself and her daughter and how that transformed her professional career. We also talk about the effects of glyphosate (weed killer) on our food supply and why so many people with gluten sensitivities don't have any issues in Europe. Finally, Kelly shares a surprising list of foods that contain gluten and provides simple, easy-to-implement strategies for managing diet changes at home should you need to remove gluten from your or your child's diet.Whether you're a parent navigating gluten challenges for your child, someone experiencing these symptoms yourself, or simply interested in learning more about celiac and gluten sensitivity, this episode is packed with valuable information to help you become your own best nutrition detective.So, without further ado, here's my conversation with Kelly Meehan.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Today on the show I'm excited to introduce Adrienne Smith. Adrienne is a mechanical engineer turned longevity and peak performance specialist. She has 34 certifications and more than 26 years of experience spanning strength training, corrective exercise, bodywork, nutrition, and longevity. For the past 16+ years, Adrienne has owned a training facility catering to a diverse clientele - from athletes and seniors to literal fetuses in utero.In today's conversation, we chop it up about our mutual connection with Strength Sensei Charles Poliquin, and the pivotal role he played in both of our lives. We unpack Adrienne's journey from mechanical engineer to prominent figure in the strength and fitness community, and how a childhood accident inadvertently changed the trajectory of her career. We also spend a chunk of time talking about longevity and how Adrienne wants to die sexy, meaning live as long and healthy a life as possible and ultimately pass away looking jacked. We talk about new research on peptides and bioregulators in reversing the age of your DNA, and the massive role the gut plays in everything from how you absorb nutrients and hormone production to your brain function and skin appearance.

Finally, Adrienne provides practical tips you can implement right now to empower you on your unique path to health and vitality.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

He's helped Olympic medalists, professional baseball players, CrossFit games champions, and thousands of people get out of pain without going to the doctor or giving up their active lifestyle. In today's conversation, we talk about the various ways the healthcare industry and the fitness industry are failing us, particularly those who are dealing with chronic pain. Sean talks about the impetus behind Active Life, the transformative power of mentorship, why a two-day certification is simply not enough to become a qualified coach, and the need for a new industry standard that prioritizes education, knowledge, and personal development.Whether you're a coach looking to elevate your career or someone on a personal health journey, this podcast will arm you with the clarity and understanding necessary for success. As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Today on the show, I am honored to have Christine Conti. Christine is an international fitness educator, chronic disease wellness specialist, and recipient of the IDEA World 2023 Fitness Professional of the Year. She is the CEO of CONTI: a woman-owned enterprise offering keynote speaking, chronic disease wellness, mindset coaching, and continuing education for fitness professionals, schools, and private companies.

Her story is nothing short of incredible. After receiving a life-altering diagnosis at the age of 30 Christine's world was completely turned upside down, forcing her to reinvent herself and embrace her new health challenges head on.In today's conversation, we talk about Christine's battle with chronic disease, how she transformed her pain into purpose, her relentless spirit and profound insights into overcoming fear and self-doubt, the power of choice and believing in yourself, and how with with the right mindset, there's really nothing you can't do.If you're out there thinking that you're stuck. That life's dealt you a hand you just can't play. Think again. Because as Christine likes to say - In life you have two choices. Do something, or do nothing. Always choose something. Choose action over inaction. Choose hope over despair. And most importantly, choose yourself every single time.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Today on the show I chat with my buddy Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos.Thanasi is a former professional basketball player and Body Systems alumnus. He is also the Founder and President of Life Managed, a fee-only fiduciary independent privately owned financial planning and investment management firm in Phoenix. In today's conversation, we dive into the myriad of similarities between keeping your body in peak physical condition and keeping your finances in the green. We discuss compound interest—how small, consistent efforts in either fitness or savings can lead to substantial gains over time, the principle of delayed gratification—explaining why the most significant results in health and wealth are reserved for those who wait and persist, and the importance of budgeting to drive awareness—whether it's tracking calories or cash.Thanasi and I also touch on the challenges that come with transitioning from a professional athletic career to corporate America, as well as his biggest hurdles in navigating the dynamics of growing up in a Greek family, where the European lifestyle of late nights and generous food portions at gatherings is the norm.If you've ever wondered how to leverage your discipline and skills from fitness to bolster your financial future, or vice versa, this episode is for you. Because if you can master your nutrition and fitness, you've already got the foundation to improve your financial health. So whether you're looking to get shredded, save for that dream European vacation, or both, buckle up. Because this conversation might just change the way you approach your goals.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Welcome to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show. I'm your host, Ben Brown. In today's episode of the show, I chop it up with Jim Hallinan. Jim is a high school phys ed teacher turned nutrition coach who helps high-performing individuals find the energy they've been looking for through smart food choices, lifestyle tweaks, and mindset shifts. In this conversation, we tackle some of the most pressing issues facing our youth today, from the glaring gaps in high school nutrition and fitness education to the everyday challenges kids face with their eating behaviors. We talk about how the conveniences of food delivery and general resistance to making homemade meals is steering kids away from making healthy food choices, how parents can set their kids up for success, the impact of diet on the immune system, and debunk some of the biggest nutrition misconceptions that cloud our judgment.We also talk about the benefits of calorie tracking, the need to set realistic expectations, why dining out may be sabotaging your weight loss efforts, and we call out the BS on social media, challenging the myths of quick fixes and the illusion that likes and followers equate to legitimate expertise and business acumen. As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Today, I catch up with Cody McBroom, the owner of Tailored Coaching Method, a lifestyle coaching company that's focused on fitting the training and nutrition to the client and not the other way around. In our conversation, we talk about the similarities between running a successful business and building a lean, healthy body. Of course, they both require time, energy, focus, and prioritization, but they also require ongoing data and adjustments based on reflection and improved awareness. Sometimes we have to go slow to go fast and develop the skills and the tools around things like planning, preparation, time management, training, intensity, volume, and understanding. The vast array of nuances around the dieting process and seasons of change become the very levers that we can and do use to adjust and drive long-term success.We also talk about establishing clarity through educating our clients, creating structure through effective time management, chronic undereating, under-tracking, and metabolic slowdowns and adaptations. We talk about setting realistic expectations versus actual commitments, assessing the need for diet breaks and refeeds, and when it's relevant to implement these things, as well as the role of stress and your personal life in your ability to adhere to the diet at hand. And finally, we finish with a quick discussion on peptides, weight loss drugs, and weight loss sustainability.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

1 year. Imagine what you could achieve if you set an intention and then strategically planned each step out 1 year in advance.In January 2023 Body Systems Coach @joeyszolowicz and I set an intention to do a 1 year periodized physique transformation. The goal was to spend 1-2 months at maintenance while establishing accurate tracking/training habits, 6-7 months bulking up, followed by a 3-month fat-cutting aggressive calorie deficit… all leading up to a year-end physique photo shoot. In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I chop it up with Coach Joey as we reflect on this past year. We talk about the trials and tribulations around bulking and cutting, the mental fortitude it takes to reach single-digit body fat, how going through this process allows him to empathize more with clients, and the incredible results he achieved.I think everyone should have the opportunity to work towards something like this. And it doesn't have to be a physique shoot. It could just be a physical activity goal like a Spartan race, a marathon, a hike, a career goal, or a travel goal. Something where you have to put in a considerable amount of effort towards the desired outcome. Because I think it's liberating to help you acknowledge and realize just what you're capable of. So what are you challenging yourself with right now? What big goal do you have that you've got your eye on? And have you committed to that? Have you set the proverbial photoshoot? And if not, what's getting in your way?And if you want help in your journey. If you want help to figure out what that big pie-in-the-sky goal is for you and it has to do with your physique, your nutrition, your strength, your lifestyle, setting a better example for your kids, living a long healthy energetic quality life, or you just want to look damn good with your shirt off, we can help with all of that.

Today on the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show I'm sharing an open and honest conversation with my soon-to-be former client Jeremiah H. Jeremiah is a single dad with a demanding career who, despite several significant road bumps along the way, still managed to put in the time and energy to focus on his health.🤕 He had a serious motorcycle accident and required shoulder surgery📓 He’s in the process of going back to school to earn a degree in exercise science🏠 He literally built his father a house from the ground up When Jeremiah joined our Smart Nutrition Coaching Program he was struggling with his weight, he had developed diabetes, and despite all his attempts at eating "healthy" and exercising, the scale just wouldn't budge. Two years later Jeremiah is down 35lbs and has put on about 15lbs of muscle. But more important than the weight, he has changed his mindset around what it means to be healthy.This is a bittersweet conversation for me because I'm sad to lose Jeremiah as a client, but I'm excited for him to continue on in our community. And I look forward to all the amazing things I know he can accomplish down the road.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Not many people can walk onto a college football team having never played a down of high school football and end up in the NFL. But my next guest on the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show did just that.Today I chop it up with Nick Hardwick. Nick is a former NFL center for the San Diego Chargers turned 1 on 1 fitness and nutrition coach. He is the owner of HardwickLIFE, a health and wellness company that focuses on helping individuals reclaim their health and their lives. Nick also serves as a certified NFL transition coach to help former NFL players successfully navigate the oftentimes difficult process of transition out of the highest level of professional athletics. In today's discussion, we talk a lot about Nick's experience in high school, collegiate, and professional sports, the nutritional protocols he was using to gain and maintain weight in the NFL, and the injury that ended his 11-year NFL career. We talk about his transition from professional athlete to everyday life, the struggles he encountered figuring out his new identity, and the unique nutritional protocol he used to shed a massive amount of weight post-NFL. Finally, we talk about his biggest frustrations as a fitness and nutrition coach, why we all deserve to be healthy and make ourselves a priority, and how he shows up as a father and sets an example for his kids.Connect with Nick:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickhardwick/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicholas.hardwick.3Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hardwicklifeWebsite: https://hardwicklife.com/As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

When it comes to hormone optimization, one-size-fits-all approaches and over-reliance on standardized labs are not the answer. In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I chop it up with Dr. Jordan Grant. Dr. Grant is a board-certified urologist with more than 12 years of experience treating conditions like testicular dysfunction, hypogonadism, and testicular hypofunction. He is also the owner of Grant Hormone and Wellness.In today's conversation, we cover a wide range of topics around men's health.Dr. Grant shares his insights on why mainstream medicine often falls short in addressing crucial aspects of our well-being, the lessons learned early on that ignited his passion for hormone optimization, and his trial-and-error approach to finding what works best for his clients.We also talk about why labs are not the end-all-be-all for optimizing hormones, whether lifestyle interventions are enough to boost testosterone levels, his philosophy on prescribing peptides, and why he's not a fan of weight loss drugs.Finally, we touch on urination frequency and why getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom may actually be perfectly healthy.Connect with Dr. Grant:Website: https://www.granthormone.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TRTandHormoneOptimizationFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hormoneoptimization/As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Optimal health isn’t just about living longer, it’s about living better.On today’s episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I had the distinct honor of speaking with Dr. Jesse Greer. Dr. Greer’s career has taken him from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to the frontlines as a battalion surgeon for the US Special Forces in Afghanistan. Now out of the military, Dr. Greer opened Preamble, a healthspan clinic in Scottsdale where he uses cutting-edge technology to provide patients with a preventive and personalized plan of attack to take control of their health.In our conversation, Dr. Greer shares his experience as a Green Beret and the medical challenges he experienced with soldiers on the battlefield.

As the saying goes: "A man is as old as his arteries."In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Michael Twyman.Dr. Twyman is a heart attack prevention expert and board-certified cardiologist who utilizes the best of conventional medicine, integrative medicine, quantum medicine, and biohacking to get to the root cause of cardiovascular issues. In today's conversation, we dive deep into Dr. Twyman's progressive and proactive approach to cardiovascular health. We talk about what traditional blood tests to assess heart health miss, debunk the myths around cholesterol, and introduce critical markers like ApoB and ApoE. We talk about the importance of optimizing mitochondrial function, why external appearances can be deceiving when assessing heart health, why prioritizing sleep is the most important thing you can do for your heart, and reveal practical tips to optimize your sleep environment, including ways to reduce EMF exposure.We also explore heart rate variability (HRV), the limitations of smartwatches in measuring it, and what your heart rate reveals about your health and longevity. We talk about the cardiovascular implications of different diets, from carnivore to plant-based, and the significance of seasonal eating.Finally, Dr. Twyman shares when it's appropriate to consult a cardiologist as well as the diagnostic and genetic tests that can give you the deepest understanding of your heart health.In a world where cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death, this episode serves as a crucial wake-up call that we need to take a proactive approach to our vascular health.

Could intermittent fasting be the key to sustainable weight loss? My next guest, elementary school teacher turned best-selling author Gin Stephens thinks so.In 2014 Gin was obese, felt like crap, and hated the person she saw in the mirror. She had spent years yo-yo dieting only to lose and regain the same weight back, and then some. Desperate to find a solution, she turned to intermittent fasting. Since then Gin has lost more than 80 pounds and kept it off.In today's conversation, we take a deep dive into the world of intermittent fasting and all of its physiological benefits. We talk about why intermittent fasting is easier to implement than other types of dieting protocols, the concept of metabolic flexibility, the importance of setting realistic expectations when it comes to fat loss, some of the biggest mistakes people make with intermittent fasting, as well as how to get started on your own intermittent fasting journey.If any of this information in our conversation resonates with you, then make sure to check out Gin's books: "Fast, Feast, Repeat," "Clean(ish)", "Delay, Don't Deny," and her upcoming book "28 Day Fast Start Day-By-Day". All of the links are in the shownotes below.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

What do Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Liev Schreiber, Sebastian Stan, Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Hugh Jackman all have in common?They’ve all been trained by today's guest, performance coach, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur, Don Saladino.In today's conversation, we spend a little bit of time talking about our kids and the realities of being a parent.Don shares his approach to training his clients for superhero roles and the differences between training athletes and even the general population.We dive into the importance of strength training for body composition change as well as his specific approach to getting clients great results without overt restriction.We touch on the role of hormones and performance-enhancing drugs in the industry and some of his frustrations with the approach of hormone optimization as a panacea.I felt like there were so many different directions that we could have gone with this conversation that I’m afraid we just scratched the surface…Nonetheless, I’m confident that you’re going to enjoy our chat as much as I did.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Our balls are under attack…At least that’s what Dr. Tracy Gapin suggests is at the forefront of the precipitous decline in men’s health today.From our toxic environment to poor food and water quality, overconsumption yet undernourishment, over-stressed and under-recovered, to genetic factors that predispose us to reduced hormonal function, the odds are stacked against us…But it’s not all bad as there's plenty of opportunity for us to take control of our health through various components of nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, and medical interventions.Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist, world-renowned men’s health and performance expert, and the founder of The Gapin Institute, the global leader in high-performance health. He has over 20 years of experience focused on providing executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes with a personalized path to optimize their health and fulfill their highest potential. He is also a TEDx speaker as well as the author of Male 2.0 and Codes of Longevity.In today’s episode of The Smart Nutrition Made Simple show, Dr. Gapin and I discuss:The men's health crisis we’re currently living in is affecting testosterone levels, weight, mood, brain function, sex drive, and the drive to commit to getting healthy in the first place.The role testosterone plays in optimal health and how we should be thinking about testosterone optimization. The common, but often unrecognized blindspots that can keep us sick and fat, even when we feel like we’re doing everything right.And the role of peptides, specifically GLP1 agonists, like the extremely popular drug, Ozempic, as they pertain to helping facilitate the weight loss process.If you’re a man or a woman who cares about your health and you feel like you already eat healthy and exercise, but aren’t seeing the results you’d hope for, then this conversation is for you.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

We all need to start eating like athletes… at least that's what I gleaned from this recent conversation with performance nutritionist, Jill Lane.While most Americans are over-fed and undernourished, we’re seeing a chronic problem with athletes of all levels being both underfed and undernourished…and it’s wreaking havoc on health, performance, and longevity.Today I’m catching up with Jill Lane, the Founder of Fueling Champions® and an expert performance nutrition consultant with more than two decades of experience consulting, coaching, and teaching functional nutrition and exercise physiology. She has dedicated her career to helping pro athletes, sports families, sports teams and high achievers attain max strength, quick recovery, heightened energy, sharp focus, and optimal body fat for peak performance through her unique 3-step approach.In this conversation, we talk about Jill's functional medicine approach to performance nutrition and some of the most common issues plaguing both professional and student-athletes when it comes to fueling their body appropriately. We talk about Relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S), the biggest areas of opportunity for improving athletic performance, recommended protein sources, the role of peri-workout nutrition, and so much more.I think that there’s so much carryover from sports and nutrition to the general population and so whether you’re a weekend warrior or a world-class athlete, I’m confident you’ll benefit from this conversation…As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Today marks 5 years since the passing of one of my greatest mentors, Charles Poliquin, aka the Strength Sensei.If you ever had the privilege of attending one of Strength Sensei's courses, you'd know that he firmly believed that the best way to learn, in any course, was to teach for 45 minutes, then do a "10 things I learned" review to reinforce many of the concepts discussed previously...Therefore in today's Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show it seems only fitting that as an homage to Charles, I share with you 10 things that I learned from him that are far more significant than strength or nutrition protocols. Thank you, Charles. You made an indefinable impact on my life and I only wish I could have shared this with you sooner.RIP coach.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm sharing an interview I did on Coach Krista Kuchenbecker's podcast. Krista is a registered nurse, personal trainer, and sports nutrition specialist who helps men and women ditch the diet mentality and feel healthy, strong, and confident, while still enjoying the foods they love.In our discussion, we talk at length about the benefits of strength training, particularly in conjunction with the weight loss process. We talk about the need to shift the narrative away from "How do I eat as little as possible and exercise as much as possible to burn as many calories as possible", to "How can I lose as much fat as possible while supporting as much lean muscle as possible". We also talk about the fundamental need to infuse more movement into our daily behaviors. As well as how to set realistic expectations around what the weight loss journey really looks like.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Are you living in alignment with your true identity?In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple show, I had the pleasure of chatting with my good friend Krystal Jackson. Krystal is a former professional volleyball play turned spiritual business coach who helps entrepreneurs create incredible results in both business and in life through a holistic self-knowledge system called Human Design. Now, you might be wondering, what in the heck is Human Design? Well, it combines astronomy, I Ching, Kabbalah, Myer's-Briggs, quantum physics, and the chakra system to create a personalized energy blueprint that gives you insight into how you're naturally wired to make decisions, interact with others, and navigate life.In this enlightening conversation, we really dive into Human Design and the different unique Energy Types. We talk about telltale signs we are out of alignment with our Energy Type and what we can do to fix it, as well as how to effectively leverage Human Design to revolutionize the way we live our lives.I learned so much about human psychology and about my own energy type in this conversation and I hope you can glean some pearls of wisdom to help you live a life that is most authentic to you. So without further ado, here's my conversation with Krystal.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

When we’re trying to lose body fat, increase our energy, and/or gain muscle mass, protein plays a significant role, ESPECIALLY if we’re in a calorie deficit.In this podcast, I talk about why protein is the most important macronutrient, how much protein you should be eating, and how to realistically build out your meals to ensure that you're hitting your protein goals.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.
