The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown

In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I had the pleasure of chatting with naturopathic doctors Alex Mayer and Matt Hernandez of Ethos Integrative Medicine. Dr. Alex specializes in women's hormones and medical aesthetics. Dr. Matt specializes in men's hormones and regenerative orthopedics. In this episode, we talk a lot about the fundamental gaps in conventional medicine and how functional medicine bridges those gaps by leveraging a holistic approach to identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. We talk about the differences between healthspan and longevity, the benefits of hormone replacement therapy for both women and men, as well as the role aesthetics play in helping people feel like the best version of themself from the outside in. We also talk about the main things people need to be cognizant of when it comes to improving quality of life, how impactful family history and genetics really are on longevity, declining testosterone levels in men and what they can do about it, and how the foundational pillars of health build and compound on each other to produce better results. Finally, we talk about the first steps that you can take right now if you're ready to hit your maximum potential.If you're experiencing low energy, having trouble sleeping, don't have the motivation to hit the gym, or generally just feel like crap despite having "normal" labs, then this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show is for you.So without further ado. Here's my conversation with Drs. Alex and Matt.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, I'm sharing an interview I did on The School of Atypical Insights podcast with my friend and host Tyler Wall. In our discussion we really take a deep dive into the art of coaching and mentorship and why I think that it is paramount to invest in your health in order to fast-track your way to long-term success. We also talk about the importance of autonomy and the flawed belief that we need to restrict, restrict, restrict in order to lose weight.

Calories really provide the foundation for how we drive weight loss.In episode 1 of our nutrition series, I explained the nutritional priming process that we use when clients first join our program to ensure that they get incredible results. In today's episode, I'm talking about pillar number 2: Calories. The truth is that calories really do matter most when we want to lose weight, build muscle, or maintain our current weight. But what most people don't realize is that they are far overconsuming them.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, the owner of BSL Nutrition where we help you change your belief system around what it means to be healthy because we believe your health determines your freedom. And in today's podcast, I'm sharing an interview that I did a few years ago with my buddy and BSL Nutrition client Gabe Daley. Gabe joined our Smart Nutrition Coaching Program in 2020. He was overweight, out of shape, and battling poorly controlled type-2 diabetes. He lacked the foundational principles of good nutrition and realized that if he continued on this path, he wouldn't be able to show up the way he wanted for his family.Gabe had been working with us for just six months at the time of this interview and his results were nothing short of amazing. He dropped more than 20 lbs, lost 4 inches in his waist, went down two shirt sizes, and even had to buy smaller underwear. But the real icing on the cake was that by overhauling his nutrition and training he was able to get his blood sugar in check and stop taking two out of three of his diabetes medications.This is a story about resilience, discipline, willpower, and the incredible achievements you can make when you choose to invest in yourself, your family, and your future.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 Smart Nutrition Made Simple podcast, I thought it would be helpful to get our BSL Nutrition coaching team together to talk about boundary setting, particularly as it pertains to setting ourselves up for success during summer festivities and summer travel where we inevitably have less structure and more temptation and pressure to indulge in food and alcohol which can sabotage our weight loss efforts.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.

Sometimes the most important thing we learn from our parents is what NOT to do when we become parents ourselves.I am incredibly grateful to have my friend and mentor Larry Hagner on this week’s Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show. After experiencing a tumultuous childhood with an absent father and a barrage of abusive and toxic male figures, Larry decided he would be NOTHING like the men in his life. That desire for excellence is what propelled him to start The Dad Edge (formerly known as The Good Dad Project), where he empowers men to create legendary marriages, epic connections with their kids, master their personal finances, optimize their physical, mental, and emotional health, and forge a strong legacy for generations.In this candid conversation, Larry opens up about his contentious relationship with his biological father and how it ultimately drove him to start The Dad Edge. We delve into the power of The Dad Edge movement and community, how to effectively and efficiently manage relationships, the art of conversational excellence, the key to having an extraordinary marriage, and seemingly simple steps you can take right now to engage more with your loved ones.As a husband, father, business owner, and hard-charging man myself, I found this conversation deeply inspiring, and I hope it compels you to reflect on your own relationships so that you can live legendary and become the best person for your family, your community, and for your future.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.

At BSL Nutrition we believe that you should really be weighing yourself daily. Yep, I said daily. But not for the reasons you're probably thinking.On today's Smart Nutrition Made Simple podcast, I thought it would be fun to get the BSL Coaching Team together to discuss our philosophy around daily weigh-ins and why we find it to be extremely beneficial from both an accountability and awareness standpoint.Now, I want to be clear. We're not advocating weighing yourself daily to obsess over every pound on the scale or to hit a particular target weight. And it's so important to understand that scale weight will fluctuate from day to day. Instead, we see daily weigh-ins as a powerful tool that we can leverage to collect data day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month, to ultimately allow us to make better decisions to drive progress. 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.

Should you go carnivore? If you ask that question to my next guest on the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, the answer would be a resounding yes.In today's podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with my former rugby teammate turned neurosurgeon, Anthony Chaffee, MD. Dr. Chaffee is a fierce advocate of the carnivore diet and has completely eliminated all plant-based foods from his repertoire citing them as toxic and carcinogenic. No fruits. No vegetables. No carbohydrates. No sugar. No artificial sweeteners. His diet consists entirely of meat and water, and he says he feels incredible.In today's conversation, we talk about:👉 What the carnivore diet is👉 The ideology that "plants are trying to kill you"👉 Health benefits of a high-protein, high-fat, no-carb diet👉 Assertions that carnivore is the best diet for optimal health and performance👉Whether we need to be concerned with the carnivore diet from an LDL cholesterol standpoint👉Types of diets most prevalent in the Blue Zones (areas where people have low rates of chronic disease and live the longest)👉 Grass-fed vs. grain-fed beef👉 How to get started on a carnivore dietNow, if you're familiar with me, you know that I am personally not a proponent of overly restrictive diets, particularly because they are really hard to stick with long-term. However, at BSL Nutrition we also believe that you need to develop the skills to become your own best nutrition detective, and for you that might be eating a high-fat, high-protein, low/no-carb carnivore-type diet. I also want to be clear that it is my opinion that the carnivore diet is not necessarily any better than a plant-based diet or a paleo diet or a Whole30 diet. Every one of these types of eating methodologies facilitates weight loss, body composition change, and improved health by virtue of eliminating processed, sugar-laden foods, and replacing them with satiating, whole foods, ultimately resulting in a calorie deficit. 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.

"I feel like a new person, like a different person than I was a year ago." In this week's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I have an open and honest conversation with badass mom and business owner Whitney T. Before joining our Smart Nutrition Coaching Program, Whitney was at a breaking point. She felt like crap, was tired all the time, depressed, moody, and relied on alcohol and sweets to cope with the stressors of daily life. In this podcast, we talk about Whitney's struggles with mental health, the steps she took to gain control and develop autonomy over her nutrition decisions, the realization that stress, sugar, snacking, and alcohol were her biggest limiting factors, the results she's experienced shifting from high-intensity exercise to progressive strength training, and the habits she created from our coaching program that will last her a lifetime. 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.

One of the first tools that we tend to gravitate towards when we’ve committed to a weight loss program is some sort of cardiovascular exercise, like jogging, peloton, boot camp classes, and/or some sort of circuit-style training. Many of us have this perception that if our heart rates are elevated, if we’re sweating, and we’re out of breath, then we’re burning more calories and therefore, burning more fat. Unfortunately that’s simply not the case. Indeed, we may be burning more calories during that specific bout of exercise, but of more significance is how our body actually responds to the increase in calorie expenditure. In today's Smart Nutrition Made Simple podcast, my buddy and BSL Nutrition Coach Dr. Dan Dodd and I thought it would be helpful to talk about the science behind why these types of cardio-intensive exercise routines are actually preventing us from losing weight, and why it's so important to shift our focus away from these types of workouts to progressive strength training. In this conversation, we chat about the scientific research behind strength training, the importance of muscle mass for fat loss, longevity, and long-term health, the concepts of progressive overload and minimal effective dose when it comes to achieving weight loss and physique change, the misconceptions people have around strength training, and more. It's definitely a podcast you won't want to miss. Dr. Dan is a wealth of knowledge and a fantastic resource for our BSL Nutrition team.

What if I told you that those that are the most successful with their weight loss goals are neither more disciplined nor have more self-control than anyone else, rather, they are more strategic about the situations that they put themselves into that actually require discipline and self-control. Today I’m excited to welcome Menno Henselmans to The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show. Menno is a scientific researcher, international public speaker, author of The Science of Self Control, and founder of the Henselmans Personal Training Certification Course. In this episode we discuss: How should we be looking at self-control and willpower in the context of dieting and weight loss Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation Rigid vs flexible dietary control and diet dogma The science of calorie cycling and diet breaks on long-term success As well as how the type and intensity of exercise factor into weight loss and body composition change This was a great conversation on a myriad of nutrition, fitness, and behavioral psychology-related topics geared specifically to those looking to make lasting body composition changes and wanting the no BS, science-driven perspective.

I often come across clients who feel like they need to have these intricate meal plans, recipe guides, or they need to be putting together these seemingly complex dishes that are all extremely healthy. And if they’re NOT doing any of these things then they’re not going to be making progress. But that's not the case. And often times the more simplistic the better. So in today's podcast, Coach Kim and I decided to have a candid conversation about some of the simple meal-planning strategies that she and I use, and that we share with clients, in order to help plan and prepare more effectively.

Are you feeling beat down, tired, lethargic, moody, have brain fog, aching joints, low libido, and have a hard time recovering from exercise? How do we know if this is just the aging process in action or something more serious, like hormonal imbalances? In today’s episode of The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I catch up with Gil Tal, a clinician specializing in hormones and men's sexual function. In this conversation we discuss: When it makes sense to get blood work run to assess hormonal function and how to know which labs to run The difference between reduced testosterone from aging and/or from our environment and lifestyle The role sleep and alcohol play in healthy hormone production And we dive into the timely nature of weight loss drugs like semaglutide and if and when its appropriate for use and how medical weight loss drugs should be supported by healthy and long-term behavior change If you’re a man in your 30s, 40’s, 50s, or 60’s concerned about possibly having symptoms of low testosterone or the wife of a man who you think might be silently suffering, then this episode is for you.

In this week's Smart Nutrition Made Simple podcast I chat it up with my buddy Matt Squires who recently concluded a year of coaching with our Smart Nutrition coaching program. In this episode, Matt and I talk about his incredible weight loss journey and the mental and emotional changes he's experienced over the past year. We also discuss his decision to abstain from alcohol for all of 2022 and the profound impact that has had on both his health and his identity.

In this conversation, Matt Terry and I catch up again to discuss how his nutrition practices have changed after our last discussion in April 2019 on plant-based dieting intervention and cancer. We talk about how Matt uses functional medicine testing to assess his current clients' needs, how his personal eating patterns have changed throughout the years of assessing his own needs and lifestyle, and the ways in which he’s applied his clinical studies to his clients and life to help create the best results possible. We nerd out a bit on protein intake and cancer, blood sugar medications, and testosterone and dietary interventions for testosterone optimization. And finally, we dive into nutrition and lifestyle prescription for morbidly obese clients and the lifestyle behaviors that are not only relevant for them but for anyone working to create long-term change by changing their mindset around food and dieting. If you find something that resonates with you, please share this with a friend, leave a 5-star rating and positive review and let me know if you want to have a conversation about how we can work together. I hope you enjoy the conversation with Matt terry.

Having spent years in the perpetual dieting roller coaster of losing and gaining the same weight, Jaylynn was ready for a change. She was tired of diet pills, aggressive 500-calorie eating, and HCG plans, and she realized that she was using food as a coping mechanism for managing stress. Now, 14 months into the Smart Nutrition Coaching Program and down over 70 lbs, Jaylynn is eating close to 2,000 calories per day, she enjoys the foods she wants, has a much healthier relationship both food and with her body, is much better able to cope with stress and is continuing to improve her skills around nutrition and exercise for long-term success.

Have you ever been in a situation with your kids where you feel yourself losing control? What about when you say no a thousand times only to have them completely ignore you and do it anyway? My personal favorite is when I find myself yelling at my kids to stop yelling. Is it normal for us parents to feel like we don’t know what the heck we’re doing and find ourselves in a constant power struggle with our children? Today I’m excited to get some answers from Dan Peterson, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Advanced Trainer for the Nurtured Heart Approach™. Dan’s zone of genius is coaching parents who are at their wit's end because no matter how hard they try or what approach they use, their child's behavior is not improving. After 25 years of working as a child therapist, he created a 90-day parent coaching model to transform their child's difficult behavior and master the following 3 things, which we discuss in today's episode: Decrease drama, conflict, and power struggles Create a positive connection with their child while helping them become values-driven Utilize a discipline model that focuses on increasing self-control, skill development, and accountability, as opposed to, escalating consequences that do not work Dan’s vision is to train and coach teachers and parents so that they can in turn provide all children with the best possible environment to flourish. He is committed to bridging the gap between home and school. It is Dan’s belief that the Nurtured Heart Approach™ not only uncovers the greatness within every child but also provides him or her with an internal “compass for life.” I have to tell you that just in the last few weeks of leveraging some of the tools that Dan shared in this conversation, I’m being much more intentional about how I show up as a parent to be able to give my kids the skills and tools to function like the children I know they can be and have absolutely seen a change in their behavior because of it. If you’re a parent that has found yourself struggling with how to effectively discipline your kids, then this episode of the smart nutrition made simple show is for you. I hope you enjoy.

How do we really lose weight in a sustainable and healthy way, both physically and psychologically? In a world of weight loss ferver, we find ourselves constantly bombarded with wild nutrition claims, haphazard and overly restrictive dieting protocols, and nutritional pseudoscience lurking around every social media corner… just waiting to grab our attention at the most desperate of times. Today it’s time to drown out the noise with an evidence-based approach to eating and exercise with my friend Alan Aragon, author of the new book, Flexible Dieting: A science-based, reality-tested method for achieving and maintaining your optimal physique, performance, and health. In this conversation, we discuss a number of dieting-centric topics, including: What is Flexible Dieting and why does it matter Why you gain weight and what to do about it The ONE universal diet that is right for everybody [Hint: there’s not] The importance of lean muscle mass and the influence of obesity on metabolism. Having spent years in academia, I have a strong appreciation for Alan’s approach to nutrition and weight management. It’s not sexy, it’s not dogmatic, and he’s not out making ridiculous claims as much of the industry is relegated to… but it is rooted in evidence and it actually works. I hope you enjoy and let’s dive in.

Jonah Mitchel the Founder, Co-Owner, & Head Coach of Phoenix Fitness & Nutrition. “My passion for health and fitness started when I was young and grew up witnessing my single-mother struggle with her weight & self-image. I ended up copying a lot of her same behaviors of punishing myself for never being good enough with my appearance or performance in sports, which led to years of poor self-esteem & unhealthy weight loss attempts to lose over 40 lbs before I realized that I didn't want anyone else to suffer the way my mom and I had to in order to live a healthy, happy life. I started my coaching career training athletes, which led to becoming a personal trainer at a 24-Hour Fitness. Wanting to help take my clients' success a step further, I got my nutrition coaching certification from the Nutritional Coaching Institute. I launched Phoenix Fitness in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and now I get to do what I love with my lovely wife, Hannah by my side!” Jonah is proud of his ability to adapt and pivot to be the best coach and company for the people we serve. To see personal growth have a direct impact on business growth. Empowering lifelong dieters to take back control over their health and their lives through simple and effective means.

How do you define success? I think it’s fair to say that each of our definitions will vary while we can probably all agree that attaining success will require similar efforts and values… Around commitment, perseverance, ownership, trust, and certainly discipline. Often when we think of success around dieting, its invariably related to visual changes, in body composition, in muscle mass, and in scale weight, and while those certainly can be valid, I’d like to challenge you to think a little bit deeper around the intrinsic and internal changes that have to take place to drive change. If you don’t know who I am, my name is Ben Brown and I’m the owner of BSL Nutrition, an online nutrition coaching company that helps you change your belief system around what it means to be healthy… And in this conversation with my friend and client Casey Strunk, we discuss the transformation that he’s undergone over the past 2 years having worked together. While visually significant and remarkable, the depth of transformation that has transpired below the surface is that much more commendable and exactly what I want to share with you today. Before success happens on the surface, it has to happen in the mind, and for Casey, it was simply a matter of acknowledging that he wasn’t living up to his potential, deciding to make a change, and then striving to get better every single day. I hope you enjoy this conversation and don’t hesitate to let me know if you’d like to discuss working with us to help you do the same.

Do you know how nutrition experts always talk about how weight loss is about more than just calories in vs calories out? Well, in this episode we dive into exactly what that means and why our behaviors around food are actually the biggest limiting factors to our success. If you don’t know who I am, my name is Ben Brown and I’m the owner of BSL Nutrition, an online nutrition coaching company that helps you change your belief system around what it means to be healthy… Today I’m catching up with my friend Jared Hamilton, CEO of Hamilton Trained to discuss why your beliefs around food are getting in the way of your success. In this episode, we talk about many of the deep and foundational factors at play for why we can have such a hard time losing weight despite “knowing what to do” and some of the powerful strategies we can employ to both identify and overcome these root behaviors.

What if I told you that there were no rules when it comes to weight loss? How would it make you feel if you knew you could eat literally anything you want and still make progress? And what if I said the problem isn’t the food, it’s the way that we’re thinking about the food? You’d probably say I was full of it… If you don’t know who I am, my name is Ben Brown and I’m the owner of BSL Nutrition, an online nutrition coaching company that helps you change your belief system around what it means to be healthy… And in this conversation with my friend Mike Millner, owner of POP, peak optimization performance, we discuss exactly why our Mindset plays such a pivotal role in our long-term weight loss success. Mike shares with us his background and personal experience with yo-yo dieting and the all-or-nothing mindset and how his experiences and frustrations with the nutrition industry propelled him into a successful career helping other men and women, like him, change their relationship with dieting, with food, with their body, and with their unrealistic expectations around what healthy weight loss and body composition change actually looks like. I hope you find this conversion as enlightening and motivating as I did.

It’s back to reality for many of us parents… And thank goodness for that! As much as we enjoy the ability to spend time with kids, travel, and eat and drink galore… The lack of consistency and structure can get old, real quick. I think I’ve had alcohol and ice cream every single day over the past month. And as much as I’ve enjoyed summer and had the opportunity to relax mentally, physically, and dietarily, I just don’t feel very good. Literally, I feel like crap… I’m putting on body fat, my sleep sucks, I’m more anxious, and I don’t feel like I’m living in congruence with my role as a coach. So, now that I’m back from vacation, it’s time to get back into my routine…. And I thought you might like to join me? Nothing fancy here, just re-establishing some of the structure that I know from years of experience will get me feeling better and start to move the needle. Most importantly tough is NOT an all-or-nothing mindset around this process… Just some daily behaviors that will allow me to literally check the boxes on my calendar to drive momentum: Sleep routine: go to sleep and wake up at the same time daily Movement: 10k steps per day Hydration: more water, less tequila Nutrition: 3-4 meals daily with no snacking in between (focus on protein at each meal) Don’t get me wrong, for the beginner, each of these in and of themselves can take a significant amount of time to develop the skills to master, so perhaps just pick one. The point here isn’t to overwhelm you, but to simply share that I too am just a regular guy who also has to give myself a good kick in the ass from time to time… Despite what you might think, or see on social media, It’s not easier for me, I just have more practice than most. But truly, these are the daily behaviors that I prioritize to help me “get back on track”. There’s nothing magical about the process, other than actually committing to showing up daily. Again, the importance lies in daily consistency, not dietary extremism. You don't need to go keto, or gluten-free, or go crazy with your bootcamp classes, but you do have to do something different! So regardless of how much travel you still have left, or the myriad of events that you want to let loose for, or that you just want to wait until the right time to get started… Just know that you CAN still build momentum daily, even if it’s just a few daily behaviors to drive consistency above all else.
