The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast (Formerly The Key Nutrition Podcast)

In this month’s Q&A episode, Brad and Craig dive into your questions and keep it real with no fluff—just honest insight and actionable advice.

We cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Why you might be getting extra sore in a calorie deficit and how to adjust your training accordingly
• What to do when life feels like you’re chasing your tail and stuck in circles
• The hardest things we’ve ever done—and what we learned from them
• How to deal with acne after starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
• What to do after a bad day (or weekend) of eating—without spiraling
• The key differences between therapy and coaching and how to know which one you need
• Whether it’s time to reverse back to maintenance calories if your sleep is seriously suffering

This one’s a mix of mindset, hormones, lifestyle, and coaching wisdom. If you’ve ever had one of these questions cross your mind, this episode is for you.

In this powerful in-studio episode, I’m joined by Treavor Hawkins — an active-duty military member and competitive bodybuilder who’s survived two serious suicide attempts. His story is raw, real, and incredibly inspiring.

Treavor takes us through the darkest moments of his life and how they became the catalyst for emotional, mental, and spiritual transformation. From the depths of hell to a life filled with purpose, Treavor now uses his voice to uplift others through his own podcast and message.

We dive into:

• The turning points that changed everything
• How fitness became his anchor
• His emotional and spiritual growth
• The power of vulnerability and purpose

This is more than a comeback — it’s a reminder of what’s possible when you refuse to give up.

We’ve all said it… “I’ll start tomorrow.” Whether it’s your fitness, nutrition, or that one habit you’ve been meaning to build — there’s something strangely comforting about pushing it off to tomorrow.

In this episode, Brad and Craig break down the real reason we fall into the “starting tomorrow” mentality — and it’s not just laziness. Craig unpacks the science behind it, explaining how putting off change actually triggers a dopamine rush that makes us feel good, even though we’re doing nothing. Wild, right?

We also dig into the deeper mindset behind this pattern: perfectionism, fear of failure, identity issues, and the illusion that tomorrow you will somehow be more motivated, more disciplined, or have more time.

But don’t worry — this isn’t just a callout. We also give you real strategies to break free from the loop and start taking imperfect action today.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your brain loves the “starting tomorrow” story
• How dopamine tricks you into inaction
• The difference between motivation and discipline (and which one actually matters)
• Simple mindset shifts to start now — not next week
• How to stop needing a “perfect” starting point

If you’ve been stuck in that cycle of almost starting, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this solo episode, Brad breaks down five of the most overrated exercises you see people doing all the time in the gym. These aren’t flashy TikTok moves—these are the staples that have been passed down for years, but might not be giving you the results you think they are.

Whether it’s poor mechanics, ego lifting, or just outdated thinking, Brad dives into why these exercises are often misused or misunderstood—and what smarter, more effective alternatives you can do instead.

If you’re serious about training with purpose and intention, this episode will help you rethink your programming and get more out of every workout.

If I could go back and coach the younger version of myself when I first started my fitness journey, I’d have a lot to say. In this episode, I break down the biggest mistakes I made early on—and the key things I’d do differently if I had to start all over today.

From being a clean-eating zealot and blindly following meal plans to underestimating the power of sleep, fiber, and mental health… this is the real, unfiltered truth about what I’ve learned over the years. I also dive into comparison traps at the gym, the shift from restriction to flexibility, and why focusing on the long game always wins.

Whether you’re just starting your journey or you’ve been at this a while, this episode will give you some honest perspective and practical takeaways to help you level up—with fewer detours than I took.
