    Burnout, Stress & The Heart Brain Connection | Deborah Rozman from HeartMath

    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 alignment in everyday life. We also get into leadership, parenting, burnout, breathwork, emotional mastery, and what true high performance actually looks like beyond just hustle and achievement. If you constantly feel "on," struggle to slow your brain down, or feel like success still hasn't brought peace, this episode will hit home.   Next Level Links: Work With a Nutrition Coach - Schedule A Consultation Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

    EP760 - Monthly Q&A: Hard Truths on Life, Coaching, and Letting People Go

    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 discussion about coaching as an unregulated industry. The pros, the dangers, and what people should actually be looking for before trusting someone with their health, mindset, or life direction. Not all "coaches" are created equal—and they don't hold back here. They also tackle a tough but relatable question: what to do when someone doesn't want you in their life anymore. Whether it's relationships, friendships, or family—this turns into a conversation about self-respect, boundaries, and emotional maturity. Peptides come back into the conversation with more listener questions—clearing up confusion, calling out misuse, and giving practical insight into how they should be approached versus how most people are currently using them. As always, the episode is a mix of mindset, truth, and real talk—no fluff, no sugarcoating.   Next Level Links: Work With a Nutrition Coach - Schedule A Consultation Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

    The Power of the Heart with Dr. Bradley Nelson

    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 down how unresolved emotional experiences don't just live in your mind… they can actually get stored in your body and impact everything from your health to your relationships. Dr. Nelson explains the concept of "trapped emotions" — emotional energy that wasn't fully processed and ends up lingering in the body, potentially contributing to both emotional and physical issues.   One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is the idea of the "Heart-Wall." This is essentially a protective barrier your body builds around your heart using layers of trapped emotions — meant to protect you, but often ends up blocking connection, vulnerability, and even success.   We also dive into: Why so many people feel stuck emotionally, mentally, or even physically How past experiences may still be influencing your current behavior and relationships The role of the subconscious mind in healing Simple ways to start becoming more aware of emotional patterns How to avoid continuing to build these "walls" over time Dr. Nelson also shares insights from his newer work, The Heart Code, and gives practical takeaways for anyone looking to improve their emotional health and overall well-being. Whether you're skeptical or already open to this kind of work, this episode will challenge how you think about healing, self-awareness, and what's really holding you back. ⸻ About Dr. Bradley Nelson Dr. Bradley Nelson is a holistic chiropractor, author, and medical intuitive known for his work in energy healing. He is the creator of The Emotion Code and The Body Code, systems designed to identify and release what he calls "trapped emotions" stored in the body.   His work has been adopted by practitioners around the world and focuses on the connection between emotional energy, physical health, and overall human performance.   Next Level Links: Work With a Nutrition Coach - Schedule A Consultation Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Guest Dr. Bradley Nelson - @officialdrbradleynelson Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

    Recognizing Self Sabotage Patterns, When to Leave or Stay With a Coach, Smart Training Volume, Keeping Clients Long Term, Building a Business

    In this week's Q&A episode on The Brad Jensen Show, Craig and I sat down and answered some of the most real world questions we see from clients, coaches, and high performers trying to level up across life. We talked about the hardest part of starting a business and honestly, it usually is not strategy. It is managing uncertainty, self doubt, and staying consistent when results are not immediate. We shared what challenged us the most early on and what we wish we knew sooner. We also dug into client retention as a personal trainer or coach. I broke down what actually keeps people long term and it is not just workouts or macros. It is connection, trust, and helping people become someone new, not just do something new. We answered the question of whether lifting six days per week is too much. Like most things in fitness, it depends. We talked about recovery, training intent, life stress, and how to know if you are progressing or just surviving workouts. Another big topic was how long someone should realistically work with a coach. We talked about when coaching becomes less about information and more about identity, accountability, and long term lifestyle integration. Craig brought a really powerful lens to the conversation around avoidant tendencies and how they show up everywhere. Not just relationships, but business, health, communication, and even goal setting. We talked about how to recognize those patterns and what to do when you see them. We also touched on a handful of other training and nutrition questions that came up from listeners and clients this week. If you are trying to build something, improve your body, or just become more self aware in how you move through life, this episode will hit.   Next Level Links: Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive  Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

    The Discipline of Focusing on What You Can Control

    On this solo episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I go deeper into something that has completely changed how I move through the world. Learning to disconnect from outside noise and focus on what I actually have power over. We live in a time where we are constantly being pulled into things we cannot control. News cycles, social media outrage, other people's opinions, and problems that are way bigger than any one person. And yet we give them our energy every single day. In this episode, I talk about the idea of powerlessness and how much freedom comes when you stop fighting what you cannot change. I share how the Serenity Prayer has had a profound impact on my life and how it continues to guide my decision making, my emotional state, and how I show up as a father, coach, and human. We talk about why trying to control everything is one of the fastest ways to feel anxious, angry, and burnt out. And why real peace comes from putting your attention back on the few things that are actually in your control. Your effort Your consistency Your actions Your behaviors Your integrity This episode is an invitation to stop carrying weight that was never yours to hold and to start building your life around what you can influence. Because when you stop wasting energy on what you cannot change, life starts working with you instead of against you. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or disconnected, this one is for you. Listen in and decide what you are finally ready to release.   Join our GLP Webinar on February 3, 2026 - Register Here   Next Level Links: Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive  Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

    Protecting Your Peace in a Loud World

    On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I sit down for a real conversation about the pressure that comes with having a voice online. As coaches, creators, and people with platforms, there can be an unspoken expectation to have an opinion on everything. Every headline. Every trend. Every crisis. And if you don't speak up, people are quick to assume you don't care. We talk about why that isn't true. Choosing not to emotionally attach yourself to every outside circumstance does not mean you lack empathy. It means you're being intentional with where you place your energy, attention, and emotional bandwidth. We dive into the difference between caring deeply and carrying everything. How constant emotional reactivity can drain you. And why learning to detach from what you can't control is often the healthiest move you can make. This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the noise, pressured to perform opinions, or stuck feeling emotionally hijacked by things outside of their control. Sometimes protecting your peace isn't selfish. It's necessary.   Join our GLP Webinar on February 3, 2026 - Register Here   Next Level Links: Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive  Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

    The Science of Resilience, Human Behavior, and Real Change with Dr Robyn Hanley Dafoe

    On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sit down with Dr Robyn Hanley Dafoe, one of the leading voices in human behavior and resiliency research. Dr Robyn has spent her entire career studying why humans behave the way they do, what actually drives real behavior change, and why some people seem naturally more resilient than others. We get into the science behind resilience, but also the very real, very practical application of it in everyday life. We talk about why motivation alone is unreliable, how environment and identity shape our choices far more than willpower, and what resilient people are doing differently when life gets hard. We also unpack how resilience is not something you either have or don't have, but a skill set that can be intentionally built over time. This conversation goes deep into stress, emotional regulation, adaptability, and how our nervous system plays a role in how we respond to adversity. We also discuss common misconceptions around resilience, why pushing harder is often the wrong answer, and how small shifts in awareness and behavior can create massive long term change. If you've ever felt stuck in old patterns, burned out, overwhelmed, or frustrated that you know what to do but struggle to follow through, this episode will hit home. It's an honest, grounded, and science backed conversation about becoming more resilient, more self aware, and more equipped to handle whatever life throws your way.   Next Level Links: Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive  Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Guest Dr Robyn Hanley Dafoe - @dr_robynehd Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition
