About this episode

Sam Miller returns for his fourth appearance on the Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast. Recognized as one of the most respected professionals in the industry, Sam has built a reputation for breaking down complex topics with clarity and depth. His Functional Nutrition & Metabolism Specialization course is considered one of the top advanced certifications available, covering gut health, hormones, autoimmune conditions, and much more.

In this episode, Sam brings his signature balanced perspective as we dive into several critical areas of health and fitness.

What we discuss in this episode:

  • The ongoing debate around seed oils and where Sam stands today
  • Things Sam has changed his mind on over the years, including the evolving value of certain training methods
  • The complex interplay between hormones and metabolism, and why a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work
  • The importance of nuance in nutrition, training, and lifestyle strategies
  • Actionable ways to cut through confusion and focus on what truly matters for long-term results

Whether you’re a health professional or simply striving to optimize your own life, this episode is packed with insight and perspective that will help you think differently about your fitness journey.
