The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast

On today’s episode, Michelle and I discussed just how painful healing and growing as an individual can be. This is why the vast majority of people avoid doing it. It is not always fun and indeed not always pretty but very worth it. We gave our thoughts on that and a few tips to help you and your healing and growing journey!   Discount code: keynutrition for 20% off your first Legion order.

On today's show, I was joined by Twin Cities Kettlebell Club founder Jordan Wright. Jordan is a master in all things kettlebells, and quite frankly, this is a topic we have not yet covered on the show, so I knew just the man to reach out to. Jordan schools us on what kettlebells are, everyday uses for the general population, and some tips and tricks on starting if you are brand new to kettlebells. Jordan's Bio Jordan Kunde-Wright, founder & head coach Twin Cities Kettlebell Club, father of 2, and entrepreneur. I was a chubby kid growing up and a lifelong athlete & choir nerd going on to be a 2 sport athlete in college (football/track & field) and singing in choir all 4 years as well. After I got injured and couldn't compete anymore, I lost half my identity, spiraling into depression and a LOT of fat gains, topping out somewhere around 370#. When I finally got my act together, I dropped over 100# in about 18 months (60 in 6 and then another 12 to net out the next 40#). I have kept it off for over a decade now, primarily due to my passion for kettlebell training and nutrition. My mission is to help others build sustainable healthy lifestyles, and my vision is to bring kettlebell training to the mainstream in America.   Jordan's Info http://twincitieskettlebellclub.com The Platform Podcast   Webinar Registration – http://mynextlevelexperience.com/register-for-webinar/   Connect with us on Instagram Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Guest Jordan Wright - @twincitieskettlebellclub Key Nutrition – @keynutrition

On today’s show, I talked about a quote I heard the other day that really resonated with me. Nobody is thinking about your body as much as you are. I promise you that nobody thinks about your body as much as you do. Yet, your brain will try to tell you that is not the case. You worry so much about what everyone will think about your body; it's exhausting, am I right? I talked about a way out of this type of thinking. I really brought the fire on this one for you guys!   Webinar Registration – http://mynextlevelexperience.com/register-for-webinar/   Connect with us on Instagram Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Key Nutrition – @keynutrition

On today's episode, I was joined by my good friend, Lindsey Mathews. This is Lindsey's 3rd time on the show, and if you missed her prior two episodes, they are listed below. We discussed how to stay on track with your nutrition through summer traveling, parties, and BBQs. Lindsey gave her tips to make macros work whenever, even on vacation. We also discussed her new cookbook, Simply Macros 2nd Edition. Terrific and easy-to-make macro-friendly recipes that you will absolutely love! In addition, we finished with a unique addition of over-rated/under-rated with Lindsey. You will love some of her answers as her fun-loving personality came to life!

On today's episode, Michelle and I discussed the importance of having "bookends" to your day. What we are referring to when we speak of bookends is a solid morning routine and some sort of nighttime routine. When you have stable pillars holding you up, your days seem to become easier to stay on track with your goals.   Register For Webinar -> http://mynextlevelexperience.com/register-for-webinar/   Podcast Episodes Referenced: - Circadian Rhythm - https://keynutrition.com/knp164/ - Morning Routines - https://keynutrition.com/knp45/   Discount code: keynutrition for 20% off your first Legion order.

On today’s episode, I covered the topic of reverse dieting. This is not the first time I have covered this subject. However, this time I went into detail about what exactly happens when we diet, the science behind it, why reverse dieting is so important and the benefits. As well as how to actually execute the reverse diet. This is still a very misunderstood part of dieting to the general public so I felt covering in more detail was paramount.

In today’s episode, Michelle and I discussed setting new goals after either a fat loss phase or a body recomposition phase. Often people get to a place after achieving their goals of not really knowing what to focus on moving forward. This leaves many individuals in a weird space with a lot of ambiguous room that can often lead to people sliding backward in their health and fitness goals. That was the aim of this whole podcast to give you specific goals you can work towards after you are done with your initial said goals. We hope you enjoy it!   Episode with Travis Zipper - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gut-health-101-whats-wrong-and-solutions-to-heal-it/id1437983368?i=1000491658886   Discount code: keynutrition for 20% off your first Legion order.

Today we are sharing my interview from The Encourage Project by my good friend Amy Fairchild. It's been a while since I have told my story and absolutely loved this episode with Amy. Enjoy the episode and make sure to follow Amy on Instagram and listen to her podcast The Encourage Project.   Here are her show notes from the episode: I get asked a lot about a certain type of human project – weight loss. Maybe it is because I have lost almost 100 pounds, but I think it is because I know there is so much more to losing weight than simply managing a calorie deficit! Brad Jensen knows weight loss and so much more! The founder of Key Nutrition, Brad and I had a great conversation talking about what it really takes to make long-term, sustainable change (in health and fitness or any area of life). Brad’s passion for the fitness industry started when he was 14 years old. The minute he picked up his first fitness and nutrition magazine, he knew that it was what he was born to do. He became NASM and ACE certified so he could understand all parts of fitness and nutrition. That knowledge and passion inspired him to help others. It also helped him transition through some of the darkest times of his life. Brad is not only a fitness addict. He is a dad to his sweet baby boy Dominic and a dog dad to fur babies Champion and Chief. He is funny and engaging and so insightful, and I had a blast talking with him. Join us!
