The Brad Jensen Show

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I sit down for a candid conversation about life, growth, and the importance of taking risks. We discuss Craig's decision to step into a new career opportunity, the fear and uncertainty that come with major life changes, and why so many people never give themselves the chance to see what's possible because they're unwilling to bet on themselves.

This wasn't a structured episode with one main topic. Just two friends talking shop, sharing lessons, and exploring what it means to pursue growth even when it's uncomfortable. If you've ever felt stuck, scared to make a move, or needed a reminder to trust yourself, you'll enjoy this conversation.

Peptides are everywhere right now.

They're one of the hottest topics in the health and fitness space, but there's a side of the industry that most people aren't talking about.

I break down some recent findings on gray market research peptides and why the results were alarming, even if they weren't entirely surprising.

The reality is that this remains a largely unregulated industry where consumers are often forced to trust vendors without knowing what's actually inside the vial. During my own research and due diligence, I was shocked to discover that some well-known peptide suppliers either don't test their products at all or rely on basic in-house testing methods that leave plenty of room for error.

I also share why we decided to launch Ethos Bio Labz for research purposes only. The goal wasn't to create another company jumping on the peptide trend. It was to solve a problem I kept seeing with clients who had no reliable way to verify the quality, purity, or accuracy of what they were purchasing.

Most importantly, this is not a sales pitch.

Whether you ever choose to do peptide research or not, my goal is to help you become a more informed consumer. I walk through what third-party testing actually means, what questions you should be asking before purchasing from any company, and why transparency matters.

I also discuss something many people in the peptide space won't say out loud: not every peptide deserves the hype. While some have promising research behind them, others simply don't have enough quality data yet to justify the claims being made online.

My commitment is to give you the truth as I see it, not just tell you what people want to hear.

If you've been curious about peptides, considering peptide research, or simply want to understand what's really happening behind the scenes, this conversation will help you separate fact from fiction.

It's time for another monthly Q&A episode with Craig and me.

In this episode, we answer some of your biggest questions around fitness, mindset, health, and personal development. We dive into what self sabotage really means, why so many people unknowingly get in their own way, and the fitness hill I'm willing to die on. We also discuss how much of weight loss is truly physical versus emotional and whether GLP-1 medications are actually making people healthier or simply making people smaller.

In this episode, we cover:

• What self sabotage really looks like and how to stop it
• The fitness belief I'm not backing down from
• How much of weight loss is physical versus emotional
• Why mindset plays such a massive role in long term success
• My thoughts on GLP-1 medications and their place in health and fitness
• The difference between getting smaller and getting healthier
• Several listener questions and real world coaching insights

As always, Craig and I keep it real, share our honest perspectives, and give you practical takeaways you can apply to your own life.

Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who could benefit from it.

After a little two week hiatus, we're back.

In this episode, Craig and I catch up on life, talk through my recent trip to California, share some laughs, and dive into a handful of conversations around health, mindset, social media, and the kind of content people need to be more careful consuming online right now.

Honestly, this one was a little bit of everything. No super structured agenda. Just two friends having real conversations, sharing perspectives, talking some shit, and hopefully giving you a few takeaways along the way.

If you've been waiting for us to get back on the mic together… here you go.

In this episode, I sit down with Deborah Rozman from HeartMath to dive into emotional regulation, stress, nervous system health, and the connection between the heart and brain.

We talk about why so many high performers are successful externally but still internally dysregulated, how chronic stress impacts physical and emotional health, and practical tools to create more coherence, resilience, and alignment in everyday life.

We also get into leadership, parenting, burnout, breathwork, emotional mastery, and what true high performance actually looks like beyond just hustle and achievement.

If you constantly feel "on," struggle to slow your brain down, or feel like success still hasn't brought peace, this episode will hit home.
