The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown

In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm sharing an interview I did on Coach Krista Kuchenbecker's podcast. Krista is a registered nurse, personal trainer, and sports nutrition specialist who helps men and women ditch the diet mentality and feel healthy, strong, and confident, while still enjoying the foods they love.In our discussion, we talk at length about the benefits of strength training, particularly in conjunction with the weight loss process. We talk about the need to shift the narrative away from "How do I eat as little as possible and exercise as much as possible to burn as many calories as possible", to "How can I lose as much fat as possible while supporting as much lean muscle as possible". We also talk about the fundamental need to infuse more movement into our daily behaviors. As well as how to set realistic expectations around what the weight loss journey really looks like.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.

Are you living in alignment with your true identity?In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple show, I had the pleasure of chatting with my good friend Krystal Jackson. Krystal is a former professional volleyball play turned spiritual business coach who helps entrepreneurs create incredible results in both business and in life through a holistic self-knowledge system called Human Design. Now, you might be wondering, what in the heck is Human Design? Well, it combines astronomy, I Ching, Kabbalah, Myer's-Briggs, quantum physics, and the chakra system to create a personalized energy blueprint that gives you insight into how you're naturally wired to make decisions, interact with others, and navigate life.In this enlightening conversation, we really dive into Human Design and the different unique Energy Types. We talk about telltale signs we are out of alignment with our Energy Type and what we can do to fix it, as well as how to effectively leverage Human Design to revolutionize the way we live our lives.I learned so much about human psychology and about my own energy type in this conversation and I hope you can glean some pearls of wisdom to help you live a life that is most authentic to you. So without further ado, here's my conversation with Krystal.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.

Dr. Alex specializes in women's hormones and medical aesthetics. Dr. Matt specializes in men's hormones and regenerative orthopedics.

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.

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.
