The Brad Jensen Show

In this episode I sit down with guest cohost Cass Zimmerman for a real conversation about MAHA, the healthcare system, and where the middle ground actually lives between modern western medicine and the holistic side of fitness and nutrition. We rift, we talk some shit, we laugh, and we give you a few insights along the way. This one is laid back, honest, and exactly the kind of conversation you'd expect when two friends get behind the mic.

Today Craig and I are talking about the dark side of the fitness influencer world.

Orthorexia. The obsession with eating perfectly clean. The belief that discipline equals restriction and punishment. The extreme routines that get praised online while people silently struggle with guilt fear and anxiety around food.

We pull back the curtain on what really goes on behind the "grind" and "no excuses" mentality

• When discipline becomes obsession
• Exercise bulimia and feeling like you have to earn or burn your food
• The influencer pressure to stay shredded year round
• How the algorithm rewards extreme behavior

We give real red flags to watch for in yourself or in the people you follow

• Panic when you cannot track a meal
• Cardio as punishment
• No rest days ever
• Constant body updates and weigh ins

We also talk about how to heal.

How to shift from self punishment to self respect.

How to build an identity that is not dependent on your macros or your physique.

Fitness should support your life

Not take it over

In this very first episode, I break down why I decided to rebrand from The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast to The Brad Jensen Show.

I wanted a space where I could speak more raw, more real, and represent my name — and my name only. No filters. No fluff. Just honest conversations about life, health, growth, and everything in between.

I share a few current things going on in my world, talk about what it really means to take ownership instead of playing the victim, and even call myself out for trying to cut back on filler words when I speak.

This episode is short and simple — a quick intro to what's ahead. Expect deeper conversations, more real talk, and the kind of perspective that helps you level up in every area of life.

In this episode, Craig and I dive into our monthly listener Q&A — covering a mix of mindset, fitness, and lifestyle topics that hit close to home for a lot of people.

We covered everything from testosterone therapy and self-limiting beliefs to training styles, getting back in shape after falling off, and whether cold plunges are actually worth the hype.

Some of the questions we tackled include:

• Testosterone only went up 10 points after 9 months on TRT — does that seem off?
• What are our own personal self-limiting beliefs and how have we learned to work through them?
• Which is more optimal: circuit-style training or traditional hypertrophy work?
• If you were in great shape years ago but have since fallen off, what's the very first step to take to get back on track?
• Our honest take on cold plunging — effective or overrated?

This episode is a blend of science, experience, and real talk — no fluff. Whether you're curious about optimizing your health or just looking for a little direction, this one's packed with insight.

Listen now to hear our raw, unfiltered answers and practical takeaways to apply in your own life.

I've had countless people ask, "What's actually included inside the program?" This episode is my full walk-through — a detailed, step-by-step breakdown of each level, what we cover, and why it matters.

From emotional regulation and mindset shifts to nutrition, structure, and spiritual growth — I explain exactly how each level builds on the last to create lasting change. This isn't just another fitness or mindset program; it's a full framework for transforming how you show up in every area of your life.

What You'll Learn:

• The purpose behind each level of The Next Level Experience
• How we help you master emotional regulation and mindset rewiring
• The importance of synergy between your physical, mental, and spiritual growth
