We are a virtual one-on-one nutrition and fitness coaching company, and we help clients change their belief system of what it means to be healthy. And we do this with our pure science, proven results system. Today, instead of our regular podcast, I'm excited to share an interview I did on the Success Flow Podcast with my buddies Phil Crawford and Steven Harris. In this episode, I share my personal story -- how my struggles with gastrointestinal issues ignited a passion for clinical nutrition and functional medicine and how, through years of study, I've come to realize that achieving health isn't about quick fixes. Instead, it's about treating the body as a whole, understanding the interconnectedness of our systems, and, most importantly, taking ownership of our health journey.I discuss the emotional side of health, how mindset, belief systems, and perspective shifts are key to building a positive relationship with food and exercise, and why consistency, patience, and effort are the cornerstones of lasting change.I'll also dive into the importance of leading by example—how your health choices can inspire those around you, especially within your family. ,Finally, I'll explore the role of coaching and support and why realistic, sustainable approaches are the only way to long-term success.So, if you're ready to make a change, this episode will give you the tools, mindset, and inspiration to take ownership and build the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Welcome to another Q&A episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, where I answer some of your most pressing questions about nutrition, fitness, and fat loss. I'm your host, as always, Ben Brown, Owner and Head Coach here at Body Systems. We are an online nutrition and fitness coaching company, and we help you change your belief system around what it means to be healthy.In today's podcast, I tackle the ways people often self-sabotage their weight loss efforts. I'll explore why setting realistic expectations is more than just a guideline—it's necessary, and how missteps in how we structure our diets and our day-to-day choices can lead to setbacks rather than progress.Next, I discuss a common client question: How long does it take to see weight loss results? It's tempting to look for quick fixes, but real, sustainable weight loss is a nuanced journey. I'll break down what factors influence the weight loss timeline and why patience and consistency are your best allies.Finally, I'll address a significant hurdle for many: What if tracking your food intake just isn't working for you? Not everyone thrives with meticulous tracking—sometimes, it's stressful or unmanageable. I'll explore alternative strategies to help you maintain awareness of your eating habits without feeling overwhelmed.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.

All too often, clients join our Smart Nutrition Coaching Program having spent years taking care of everyone else but themselves, only to realize that the person they see in the mirror is no longer a reflection of who they want to be.This exact scenario played out with my wife, Kristina. A former collegiate athlete and all-around hard-charging individual, Kristina put all of her time and effort into work, taking care of our three kids, and volunteering what little time she had left. She found herself drinking more alcohol than she'd like to admit, snacking in the evenings, hitting up fast food restaurants on the way home from work, staying up too late, and not getting enough sleep. She realized that she wasn't living up to the person she wanted to be for her kids.A few years ago, Kristina made a massive shift. She left her job in corporate America, became my business partner, hired Coach Joey, started to prioritize herself, and her results have been incredible.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm excited to share my wife's experience both in the trenches at Body Systems and as a client, along with all of the wisdom, knowledge, and advice she has gleaned over the last few years.If you're pouring all of your energy into your children, your career, and/or your commitments, and you're unhappy with the person you've become, then I hope this conversation resonates with you and gives you the kick in the pants to start shifting your mindset around what could be possible if you start prioritizing yourself.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.

If it sounds too good to be true...It probably is.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I call bullshit on all the crap being spewed over social media on how to lose weight without having to make any sacrifices. Without giving up alcohol. Without tracking your food. Without meal prepping or meal planning. Without giving up junk food. Because there will ALWAYS be tradeoffs. And while you don't have to do all of these things to lose weight, the process is going to be THAT much harder in the long-run.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.

In today's special Q&A episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'll discuss some of the common practices that people think that they should be doing, but actually are probably hindering their success, whether you can still lose weight while drinking alcohol and eating junk food, if you need to stretch before I work out, and whether or not being sore is a sign of a good workout.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.

Things change as we get older. We start to accumulate more belly fat. We have a harder time losing weight. We have a harder time recovering from our workouts. We experience more stress and frankly have more responsibilities. We have more excuses as to why it becomes harder to eat healthier and exercise. We feel like we just don't have enough time to do the things we need to do to move the needle. And if we do, we feel like the things we used to do aren't working anymore.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm sharing what I call my 10 commandments of fat loss over 40, and ways we can start to look at nutrition, fitness, strength training, joint health, and recovery a little bit differently.

Raising healthy, happy kids shouldn't be so hard. Yet, despite living in what should be the golden age of medicine, our children are sicker than ever. Nearly 1 in 2 kids has a chronic condition, whether it's eczema, asthma, ADHD, anxiety, autoimmunity, or even all of the above. Many parents are at a loss for who to turn to for trusted advice - advice that takes a root-cause, holistic approach to whole child resilience, but that doesn't dismiss the value of conventional pediatrics.Today on the show I am excited to bring back Dr. Elisa Song. Elisa is a Standford, NYU, UCSF-trained pediatrician and one of the foremost pioneers and trusted experts in pediatric integrative and functional medicine. In her holistic pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, she's helped thousands of kids get to the root cause of their health concerns and helped their parents understand how to heal their children from the inside out. Elisa is also the author of the Health Kids, Happy Kids: An Integrative Pediatricians Guide to Whole Child Resilience.In today's conversation, we discuss the alarming trend in children's lifespans and how the gut microbiome holds the key. Dr. Song shares her journey from conventional to integrative medicine, the detrimental effects of antibiotics on kids' gut health, particularly during infancy and adolescence, and the connection between the gut microbiome and your immune system, brain development, mental health, mood, and behavior. We also talk about strategies to empower children and parents to make informed health choices, emphasizing education on reading food labels and understanding how what we choose to eat impacts our overall health. And finally, Dr. Song offers actional advice for parents to support their children's health, including dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments.For all parents and healthcare providers listening, this episode is a call to action to reevaluate and reinforce the foundations of health in our younger generation. So, without further ado, here's my conversation with Dr. Elisa Song.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.

About 1 to 2% of our population has celiac disease, and most people don't even know they have it. Similarly, as many as 1 in 10 people are gluten-sensitive, and most have no idea.Today on the show I'm joined by my close friend Kelly Meehan, IHP, MBCE, OD, FAAO. Kelly is an integrative health practitioner, certified health coach, wife, and busy mom of three with a passion for helping families find and learn how to achieve optimal wellness through an integrative approach to health. Kelly brings a wealth of knowledge, not only from her multiple degrees but also from her own experiences dealing with Celiac disease. In today's episode, we dive deep into the topics of Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. We talk about the atypical symptoms of gluten sensitivity that go far beyond digestive issues, including effects on brain function, mood, energy, and skin appearance. We discuss why gluten sensitivity goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. We talk about Kelly's health journey navigating a Celiac diagnosis for both herself and her daughter and how that transformed her professional career. We also talk about the effects of glyphosate (weed killer) on our food supply and why so many people with gluten sensitivities don't have any issues in Europe. Finally, Kelly shares a surprising list of foods that contain gluten and provides simple, easy-to-implement strategies for managing diet changes at home should you need to remove gluten from your or your child's diet.Whether you're a parent navigating gluten challenges for your child, someone experiencing these symptoms yourself, or simply interested in learning more about celiac and gluten sensitivity, this episode is packed with valuable information to help you become your own best nutrition detective.So, without further ado, here's my conversation with Kelly Meehan.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.

We also spend a chunk of time talking about longevity and how Adrienne wants to die sexy, meaning live as long and healthy a life as possible and ultimately pass away looking jacked.

Sean is the owner and founder of Active Life, a personal development company that combines education, exercise, and mentorship to empower a life of freedom without compromise. He's helped Olympic medalists, professional baseball players, CrossFit games champions, and thousands of people get out of pain without going to the doctor or giving up their active lifestyle.

Today on the show, I am honored to have Christine Conti. Christine is an international fitness educator, chronic disease wellness specialist, and recipient of the IDEA World 2023 Fitness Professional of the Year. She is the CEO of CONTI: a woman-owned enterprise offering keynote speaking, chronic disease wellness, mindset coaching, and continuing education for fitness professionals, schools, and private companies. Christine is also the best-selling author of SPLIT-SECOND COURAGE, the host of Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, co-founder of REINVENTING THE WOMAN INTERNATIONAL, a triathlete guide for special needs athletes, and a 4x IRONMAN. Her story is nothing short of incredible. After receiving a life-altering diagnosis at the age of 30 Christine's world was completely turned upside down, forcing her to reinvent herself and embrace her new health challenges head on.In today's conversation, we talk about Christine's battle with chronic disease, how she transformed her pain into purpose, her relentless spirit and profound insights into overcoming fear and self-doubt, the power of choice and believing in yourself, and how with with the right mindset, there's really nothing you can't do.If you're out there thinking that you're stuck. That life's dealt you a hand you just can't play. Think again. Because as Christine likes to say - In life you have two choices. Do something, or do nothing. Always choose something. Choose action over inaction. Choose hope over despair. And most importantly, choose yourself every single time.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.

Today on the show I chat with my buddy Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos.Thanasi is a former professional basketball player and Body Systems alumnus. He is also the Founder and President of Life Managed, a fee-only fiduciary independent privately owned financial planning and investment management firm in Phoenix. In today's conversation, we dive into the myriad of similarities between keeping your body in peak physical condition and keeping your finances in the green. We discuss compound interest—how small, consistent efforts in either fitness or savings can lead to substantial gains over time, the principle of delayed gratification—explaining why the most significant results in health and wealth are reserved for those who wait and persist, and the importance of budgeting to drive awareness—whether it's tracking calories or cash.Thanasi and I also touch on the challenges that come with transitioning from a professional athletic career to corporate America, as well as his biggest hurdles in navigating the dynamics of growing up in a Greek family, where the European lifestyle of late nights and generous food portions at gatherings is the norm.If you've ever wondered how to leverage your discipline and skills from fitness to bolster your financial future, or vice versa, this episode is for you. Because if you can master your nutrition and fitness, you've already got the foundation to improve your financial health. So whether you're looking to get shredded, save for that dream European vacation, or both, buckle up. Because this conversation might just change the way you approach your goals.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.

Welcome to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show. I'm your host, Ben Brown. In today's episode of the show, I chop it up with Jim Hallinan. Jim is a high school phys ed teacher turned nutrition coach who helps high-performing individuals find the energy they've been looking for through smart food choices, lifestyle tweaks, and mindset shifts. In this conversation, we tackle some of the most pressing issues facing our youth today, from the glaring gaps in high school nutrition and fitness education to the everyday challenges kids face with their eating behaviors. We talk about how the conveniences of food delivery and general resistance to making homemade meals is steering kids away from making healthy food choices, how parents can set their kids up for success, the impact of diet on the immune system, and debunk some of the biggest nutrition misconceptions that cloud our judgment.We also talk about the benefits of calorie tracking, the need to set realistic expectations, why dining out may be sabotaging your weight loss efforts, and we call out the BS on social media, challenging the myths of quick fixes and the illusion that likes and followers equate to legitimate expertise and business acumen.

Today, I catch up with Cody McBroom, the owner of Tailored Coaching Method, a lifestyle coaching company that's focused on fitting the training and nutrition to the client and not the other way around. In our conversation, we talk about the similarities between running a successful business and building a lean, healthy body. Of course, they both require time, energy, focus, and prioritization, but they also require ongoing data and adjustments based on reflection and improved awareness. Sometimes we have to go slow to go fast and develop the skills and the tools around things like planning, preparation, time management, training, intensity, volume, and understanding. The vast array of nuances around the dieting process and seasons of change become the very levers that we can and do use to adjust and drive long-term success.We also talk about establishing clarity through educating our clients, creating structure through effective time management, chronic undereating, under-tracking, and metabolic slowdowns and adaptations. We talk about setting realistic expectations versus actual commitments, assessing the need for diet breaks and refeeds, and when it's relevant to implement these things, as well as the role of stress and your personal life in your ability to adhere to the diet at hand. And finally, we finish with a quick discussion on peptides, weight loss drugs, and weight loss sustainability.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.

1 year. Imagine what you could achieve if you set an intention and then strategically planned each step out 1 year in advance.In January 2023 Body Systems Coach @joeyszolowicz and I set an intention to do a 1 year periodized physique transformation. The goal was to spend 1-2 months at maintenance while establishing accurate tracking/training habits, 6-7 months bulking up, followed by a 3-month fat-cutting aggressive calorie deficit… all leading up to a year-end physique photo shoot. In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I chop it up with Coach Joey as we reflect on this past year. We talk about the trials and tribulations around bulking and cutting, the mental fortitude it takes to reach single-digit body fat, how going through this process allows him to empathize more with clients, and the incredible results he achieved.I think everyone should have the opportunity to work towards something like this. And it doesn't have to be a physique shoot. It could just be a physical activity goal like a Spartan race, a marathon, a hike, a career goal, or a travel goal. Something where you have to put in a considerable amount of effort towards the desired outcome. Because I think it's liberating to help you acknowledge and realize just what you're capable of. So what are you challenging yourself with right now? What big goal do you have that you've got your eye on? And have you committed to that? Have you set the proverbial photoshoot? And if not, what's getting in your way?And if you want help in your journey. If you want help to figure out what that big pie-in-the-sky goal is for you and it has to do with your physique, your nutrition, your strength, your lifestyle, setting a better example for your kids, living a long healthy energetic quality life, or you just want to look damn good with your shirt off, we can help with all of that.

In today's conversation, I catch up with my buddy Aram Grigorian.Aram is a nutrition coach who provides practical solutions for everyday folks who want to stop the cycle of dieting and disappointment. He also hosts the Real Coaches Summit to help bring education to the forefront of the coaching industry.And in our conversation today, we work to put a simple spin on what is often far too complex of an approach to nutrition and fitness. There's no science, no hormones, no macros, no tricks or hacks, and certainly no nonsense. Just a real-world approach to changing your life by changing your behaviors.So if you're a coach tuning in, then you are not going to want to miss this discussion about what it takes to stand out in today's industry. I really appreciated this conversation with Aram and I'm certainly confident that you will too.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.
