On this episode of the Brad Jensen Show, I wrap up the final part of our 3-part NLE Boot Camp series.

This one is solo. Just me tying everything together.

We've already covered the emotional and mental levels in parts one and two. In this episode, I bring it all home and introduce you to the spiritual level. This is the piece most people either ignore or completely misunderstand. And it's also the piece that changes everything when you actually get it.

I break down some of the core principles we teach inside Next Level Experience when it comes to spiritual alignment. Not in a fluffy, surface-level way. In a real, practical, apply-this-to-your-life kind of way.

We talk about:

• What it actually means to be spiritually aligned
• Why so many high performers still feel off even when they are "winning"
• How your mental and emotional patterns are directly tied into your spiritual state
• Why chasing more without alignment will always leave you empty
• How to start operating with more purpose, clarity, and intention

I also touch briefly on the physical level and how it all connects, because the truth is none of these operate in isolation. When one area is off, it bleeds into everything else.

This episode is really about bringing full alignment into your life. Mind, body, and spirit. Not just dominating one area while the rest fall apart.

And if you've been listening to this series and thinking "this is exactly what I need," then this is your sign.

We are heading into what is shaping up to be the final round of Next Level Experience in 2026.

If you're ready to stop half-assing certain areas of your life and actually put everything together, book a discovery call.

But only do it if you're serious about doing the work. All of it. Not just the physical.

Let's finish this series strong.

In part two of our three-part series, I sat down with Frank Young to dive into something that impacts every single area of your life… your relationships.

Frank has been married for 35 years and brings a level of wisdom and real-world experience that you just can't fake. Not only that, but he coaches relationships in his own business and inside of the Next Level Experience, so this isn't theory… this is what actually works.

We break down some of the exact principles we teach inside NLE when it comes to building stronger, more connected, and more intentional relationships.

We also zoom out and connect the dots between your mental patterns, your emotional responses, and how those show up in your relationship… whether you realize it or not.

If you've ever felt disconnected, misunderstood, or like you keep running into the same patterns in your relationships… this one will hit.

This is one you're going to want to take notes on.

In this episode, I'm joined by Cass Zimmerman, one of the absolute rockstar coaches inside the Next Level Experience.

If you've listened before, you already know… she brings the heat every single time.

This is part one of a three-part Boot Camp series where we're pulling back the curtain and giving you a real look at what we actually teach inside NLE. Not surface-level stuff. The real work.

We kick things off with one of the most overlooked areas of growth…

Emotional regulation and energy.

We break down how your emotional state is directly tied to your results in every area of life. Your health. Your relationships. Your business. Everything.

We also get into how this shows up differently for men and women, and why most people are completely unaware of what's actually driving their behaviors day to day.

And we didn't just talk about it…

We gave you real tools.

The exact frameworks and practices we use inside Next Level Experience to help people build awareness, regulate emotions, and take back control instead of constantly reacting to life.

This is the work most people avoid.

But it's also the work that changes everything.

Toward the end, we start bridging into relationships… which sets the tone perfectly for part two of this series.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still not getting where you want to go…

This episode will show you why.

And more importantly, what to do about it.

On today's episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I dive into the sayings we cannot stand in the health, fitness, and personal development space.

You know the ones. The phrases that sound harmless on the surface but actually keep people stuck, playing small, and buying into their own excuses.

We break down the victim mindsets, the self-sabotaging statements, and the subtle language patterns that quietly wreck progress without people even realizing it.

Between my 15 years in the health and fitness space and Craig's 20 years of clinical experience, we've heard it all and today we call it out.

This one is equal parts informative and funny, but also direct as hell. If you've ever caught yourself saying things like "I just can't," "this is just how I am," or "I'll start when life slows down"… this episode might hit a little close to home.

And that's the point.

Because once you become aware of the language that's holding you back, you can finally start changing it and changing your life along with it.

Sat down with Mike Illias for a real, no BS conversation about what it actually looks like to take ownership of your health and your life. We got into why we both entered this industry in the first place, the importance of cutting through all the outside noise, and how to stop overcomplicating the process. At the end of the day, this episode is about taking control, trusting yourself, and getting back to the fundamentals that actually move the needle.

On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig and I pulled back the curtain a bit.

Instead of just telling you what to do, we talked about where we still struggle.

We each broke down three areas in our own fields where we don't always have it dialed in… the habits that trip us up, the patterns we catch ourselves falling back into, and the stuff we're actively working on.

Because the truth is… you don't need perfect coaches. You need real ones.

We also flipped it and shared our best habits. The ones that have made the biggest impact on our lives, our health, our relationships, and our businesses.

This episode is a mix of honesty, self-awareness, and practical takeaways you can actually apply.

If you've ever felt like you "know what to do" but still struggle to do it… this one will hit.

What we cover:

• The worst habits we still battle in health, mindset, and life
• The patterns that keep high performers stuck (even when they know better)
• How self-awareness is the first step to real change
• The best habits that have created the most growth for us
• How to take what we've learned and apply it to your own life

On this episode of the Brad Jensen Show, I sit down with one of the world's leading experts on hormone optimization and therapeutic peptides, Jay Campbell.

We take a deep dive into the world of peptides and break down what's actually happening right now in the industry. With new regulations and increasing popularity, there's a lot of confusion around peptides, what's legal, what's effective, and what consumers should be paying attention to.

Jay shares his perspective from decades of experience working with peptides and helping people optimize their health, performance, and longevity.

In this episode we cover:

• The new peptide regulations and what they actually mean for consumers
• Why peptides still scare so many people and where that fear comes from
• Some of the most underrated peptides people aren't talking about
• The truth about GLP peptides like semaglutide and tirzepatide
• How to use GLP peptides responsibly while minimizing side effects
• Where the future of hormone optimization and peptide therapy is headed

If you've been curious about peptides, confused by the headlines, or just want to understand how these compounds are being used for fat loss, recovery, longevity, and metabolic health, this episode clears up a lot of the noise.

Jay Campbell's GLP-1 Book

If you want to go deeper into GLP peptides, Jay just released a new book called Metabolic Awakening with GLP-1 Peptides, which breaks down the science behind GLP-1 medications and how they can be used responsibly for fat loss and metabolic health.

On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig and I dive into our monthly Q&A where we answer a wide range of listener questions. We cover topics like ulcerative colitis and peptides, what it looks like mentally when you know you need to gain weight but you're struggling with the idea of it, and how to navigate a relationship when you're sober but your spouse is dealing with alcoholism. We also talk about the best type of creatine, along with several other health, fitness, and mindset questions that came in from you guys.

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I'm joined by my regular cohost Craig Smith and we dive into a pattern we see all the time with high performers.

A lot of people are crushing it in business, leadership, or other areas of life… but their health, relationships, or personal life are falling behind.

Craig and I break down some of the biggest reasons this happens. From getting completely lopsided into one area of life to neglecting the habits that actually keep everything running well long term.

Between my experience coaching thousands of clients and Craig's background as a therapist, we unpack why high achievers often struggle to transfer the same discipline and focus they have in business into their health and other meaningful goals.

If you feel like you're winning in some areas of life but other important areas keep slipping through the cracks, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it.

Topics we cover:

• Why high performers often struggle with their health
• The problem with living a "lopsided life"
• Why success in business doesn't automatically translate to health
• The identity shifts required to level up all areas of life
• How to start creating balance without losing your edge

This episode started with a conversation about the Olympics. When an athlete wins bronze instead of gold, the interviews can feel almost disappointing… like anything less than first place is failure.

And that mindset shows up everywhere in life.

In health. In business. In relationships.

If you didn't dominate, you feel like you lost.

Craig and I break down the fine line between having high expectations and destroying yourself when you fall short. How do you stay competitive and driven… while still respecting solid effort?

Because here's the standard:

Attitude and effort are the expectation.

Not perfection. Not gold every time.

Between my experience coaching thousands of clients and Craig's clinical therapy background, we help you find that balance so you can push hard, stay grounded, and keep moving forward.

If you're wired to win, this one is for you.

https://www.instagram.com/shaygrounded/In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sat down with Shay, known as Shaygrounded on Instagram and TikTok.

Shay is currently on a weight loss journey that started at nearly 400 pounds. She's already down over 30 pounds, but that's not the most impressive part of her story.

What made me want to bring her on the show is the stance she has taken from day one. Radical accountability. Radical ownership. No excuses. No blame. No victim mentality.

In a world where it's easy to point fingers at genetics, society, trauma, the system, or the body positivity movement, Shay has done something different. She has publicly said, "I am responsible for where I am."

And that hasn't made everyone happy.

Some within the body positivity space have pushed back on her message because she refuses to play the victim. She doesn't blame anyone else for being in the position she's in. She owns it. Fully.

Not only that, she started documenting her journey publicly on Instagram and TikTok to hold herself accountable. She shares the wins. The struggles. The hard truths. The uncomfortable realizations. All of it.

It's a breath of fresh air.

Other creators have taken notice. And for good reason. Because ownership is powerful. And as you guys know, victims never win.

Shay is the furthest thing from a victim.

In this conversation we talk about:

• What it actually feels like to top out at almost 400 pounds
• Why radical ownership changed everything for her
• The backlash she has received for refusing to blame anyone else
• Using social media as an accountability tool instead of a highlight reel
• The mindset shifts required to create real, sustainable change
• Why brutal honesty is one of the most underrated transformation tools

This episode will challenge you. It will empower you. And most importantly, it will force you to look in the mirror and ask yourself where you might still be outsourcing responsibility in your own life.

If you are serious about changing your body, your mindset, or your life, this one is for you.

Own your shit. Change your life.
