Next Level Coaching
About this episode

In this Q&A episode, Brad Jensen and cohost Craig Smith tackle a wide range of listener-submitted questions that span fitness, mindset, spirituality, and real-life challenges. From teenage fat loss struggles to navigating a spiritual path after stepping away from organized religion, this conversation is real, raw, and packed with practical insights.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

  • Do you really need to cycle off creatine? We break down the science and the myths.
  • Our go-to mantras and affirmations for grounding ourselves and showing up powerfully each day.
  • How to rediscover or redefine spirituality after leaving religion—and why this journey matters more than most think.
  • Teen weight loss: What we would do differently if we could go back and coach our younger selves.
  • Can you build muscle and lose fat at the same time? Our honest take on recomposition.
  • Strategies for dealing with picky eaters—whether you’re the parent or the picky one.

This episode is packed with real talk, practical tools, and no-BS answers to your most pressing questions. Whether you’re deep in a fitness journey or navigating personal growth, this one’s for you
