The Brad Jensen Show

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I'm answering three important questions that can have a massive impact on your health, fitness, and overall well-being.

First, do you really need to get bloodwork done if you feel perfectly fine? I'm sharing my own recent experience with labs, what I discovered, and how something I thought was purely a mental issue turned out to have a physiological component. This was a huge eye-opener for me and a reminder that just because you feel fine doesn't mean everything is functioning optimally internally.

Next, we're talking about navigating food during the holidays. How do you enjoy yourself, stay on track with your goals, and avoid the all-or-nothing mentality that so many people fall into this time of year?

Finally, I'm breaking down heart rate variability (HRV), what it actually tells us about our recovery and nervous system, and why it's a metric worth paying attention to.

Three different topics, one episode packed with practical takeaways to help you take ownership of your health.

Let's dive in!

We're wrapping up our three-part Key Nutrition Coach Spotlight Series with two more of our incredible coaches, Alyssa Munio and Nick Kratz.

In this roundtable conversation, we dig into what they've learned from coaching real people through real fitness journeys—the wins, the struggles, the plateaus, and the moments where a client finally breaks through.

I asked Alyssa and Nick pointed questions about their coaching philosophies, lessons they've learned from working with clients, common mistakes they see people make, and the strategies they use to help clients create lasting results.

What I love about these conversations is that you get a look inside the minds of two of our top coaches. You'll hear not only what they do with their clients, but WHY they do it—and how you can take those same principles and apply them to your own fitness journey.

Because successful coaching isn't just about macros, workouts, and hitting a step goal. It's about understanding behavior, adapting when life happens, knowing when to push and when to pull back, and creating strategies someone can actually sustain.

Whether you're currently working with a coach, considering coaching, or navigating your journey on your own, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can start using immediately.

This is the final installment of our three-part series highlighting the coaches behind Key Nutrition, and Alyssa and Nick absolutely brought it home.

Part 2 of our three-part Coaches Roundtable Spotlight is here.

This time, I'm joined by Key Nutrition coaches Rob Gibson and Derek Harames for a conversation about the keys to their success — both in their own fitness journeys and in helping clients create lasting results.

We dig into the lessons they've learned through years of coaching, what separates the clients who succeed from the ones who continue to struggle, and the simple shifts that can make getting in shape feel a hell of a lot easier.

Just like Part 1, this episode is packed with tactical takeaways you can immediately apply to your own fitness journey. Whether you're trying to lose weight, build muscle, become more consistent, or simply stop making fitness harder than it needs to be, there's something in this conversation for you.

Two great coaches. Two different perspectives. A ton of practical wisdom you can actually use.

What are the real "keys" to getting results — and keeping them?

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I'm joined by three of our most senior Key Nutrition coaches: Tom Hippler, Jenn Pinnell, and Chelsey Bird.

With our recent rebrand to Key Nutrition, I wanted to sit down with three coaches who have spent years in the trenches helping real people navigate fat loss, nutrition, training, mindset, and everything life throws at them.

I asked each coach the same five questions centered around one theme: What is actually KEY to creating lasting success?

What followed was an incredible roundtable discussion.

We talk about the habits that separate successful clients from those who continually start over, the nutrition principles people tend to overcomplicate, how to stay consistent when motivation disappears, what people waste way too much energy focusing on, and what someone should prioritize if they're ready to finally make a change that lasts.

What I loved most about this conversation is how differently each coach approached the questions. Tom, Jenn, and Chelsey each brought their own experiences, philosophies, and perspectives — and gave incredibly practical answers you can apply to your own journey immediately.

This episode also gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the caliber of coaches we have at Key Nutrition and the philosophy behind the way we coach.

Whether you're struggling to lose weight, trying to become more consistent, or simply looking for the next level in your health and fitness journey, I guarantee there's something in this conversation you need to hear.

These are the keys that actually move the needle.

What happens when someone publicly disagrees with you, criticizes your message, or reacts to your content in a way you don't exactly love?

Your first instinct might be to defend yourself, fire back, or let your ego take over.

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I break down a recent situation where someone reacted to one of my videos and strongly disagreed with my message. He wasn't attacking me personally—he was attacking the message and challenging my perspective.

I had a choice.

I could get defensive and respond from my ego, or I could take the high road.

I chose the latter.

Instead of firing back, I responded with kindness and even reached out to him personally. I told him there was no love lost, that I respected what he does, and that I think he creates great content—even though we absolutely do not see eye to eye on the carnivore diet.

What happened next was pretty damn cool.

He made another video about my response that was not only hilarious, but incredibly kind toward me as a person.

That opened up a much bigger conversation between Craig and me about something we desperately need more of: the ability to disagree without becoming enemies.

Not everyone is going to agree with your message. Not everyone is going to see the world the way you do. And someone challenging your ideas doesn't automatically mean they're attacking you.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is put your ego aside, stay curious, take the high road, and leave room for respectful disagreement.

Because when you stop treating every disagreement like a personal attack, you might actually learn something, build a relationship, or turn a potential enemy into a connection.

We need more conversations like that.
