KNP381 - How to Create Lasting Change in Your Life
The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast
08/05/22 • 41 min
On today’s show, I talked all about how to create lasting change in your life. I spoke about my personal experience with changing from a deadbeat drug addict to where I am today. I spoke of a method I like to use with my clients: The double PPs and the double AAs. Acceptance and action followed by patience but persistence. Change Is hard, but usually, not changing is much harder in the long run. I hope you enjoy it!

KNP603 - Why Cardio Is Not Optimal for Fat Loss
The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast
08/23/24 • 30 min
In this solo episode of the Next Level Health and Fitness Podcast, I dive into the common misconception that cardio is the most effective way to achieve fat loss. While cardio does play a role in a well-rounded fitness regimen, it's not the be-all and end-all strategy for shedding those extra pounds. I break down why cardio alone isn't the most optimal approach, and how focusing on other aspects of your fitness journey can lead to more sustainable and efficient fat loss.
Key Topics Discussed:
- The Role of Cardio in Fat Loss:
- Understanding how cardio fits into the bigger picture of fat loss.
- Why relying solely on cardio can be counterproductive.
- The difference between steady-state cardio and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
- Why Cardio Isn't Enough:
- The limitations of cardio in creating a caloric deficit.
- How the body adapts to cardio, leading to diminishing returns.
- The importance of muscle preservation and metabolic rate in fat loss.
- The Right Way to Use Cardio:
- How to incorporate cardio effectively into your fitness routine.
- Balancing cardio with strength training for optimal results.
- The benefits of using cardio as a tool rather than a primary fat loss strategy.
- Pros and Cons of Cardio:
- Pros: Improved cardiovascular health, increased calorie burn, and enhanced endurance.
- Cons: Potential for muscle loss, time-consuming, and the risk of overuse injuries.
- Strategic Tips for Using Cardio:
- How to tailor your cardio routine to your specific goals.
- Finding the right balance between cardio, strength training, and nutrition.
- When to increase or decrease cardio based on your progress.
Takeaway:
While cardio can be a useful component of a fat loss plan, it shouldn't be your only focus. For lasting results, it's crucial to combine cardio with strength training, proper nutrition, and a well-rounded approach to fitness. Tune in to learn how to use cardio strategically and effectively on your journey to fat loss.

KNP38 – Ever Forward With Chase Chewning
The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast
06/21/19 • 56 min
Chase Chewning, host of the Ever Forward Radio podcast, joined us on this week’s episode to share his inspirational story on positivity and success. Chase is known as the great connector of people. Most likely from his easy going personality and outlook on life. However, he wasn’t always this way. Chase lost his father to a horrible terminal illness in his late teens. This was very detrimental to his outlook on life for many years to come. However, after being medically discharged from the military, Chase was able to rehabilitate his mindset and form a new outlook on life. Today, what use to be his biggest tragedy, has been the greatest catalyst to his current success. Learn what steps Chase took to dig himself out of rock bottom. Also, make sure to follow his podcast the Ever forward Radio and his Instagram @chase_chewning for more inspiration! As always thank you for listening and if you liked this episode make sure to leave a 5-star review!

KNP40 – The Journey of a 190lbs of Weight Loss – With Noah Kingery
The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast
06/28/19 • 65 min
Todays episode was a powerful one. We were honored to have Noah Kingery, aka The Transformational Truth on the podcast. Noah has lost 190lbs and more importantly has kept it off for years now. Honestly though, that is just a sliver of his story. He opens up about his drug addiction and now 5 plus years of sobriety. He gets raw and real about going from huge financial success to literally having nothing in his bank account. His message is one of triumph built off of struggle. Now, having a motto of “failing forward”, Noah is a prime example of you can literally do ANYTHING if you put in the work and surround yourself with a support system.

KNP141 - 4 Tiers To Being “Fit” - Spiritual, Physical, Mental and Emotional
The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast
05/05/20 • 40 min
In this episode, we discussed how being fit goes way beyond just physically fit.
People grossly underestimate how much your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual fitness all play together.
If you asked me after thousands of clients, why do so many not successfully hit their goals, I would boil it down to this.
They are not spiritually fit and they have emotional baggage. Trapped emotions that cause incredibly negative thought patterns and limiting self beliefs.
Being “Spiritually fit” can confuse a lot of people.
Think of this way: The act of nourishing your spirit.
What makes you come alive? What makes you feel joy? What makes you feel grateful? What gives you those “god shot” moments?
Whatever THAT is, we want you to do that!
We discussed ways to become more spiritually fit that you might not think of.
Find a person who is healthy, fit, does this as a lifestyle and is HAPPY... and I'll show you someone who 9 times out of 10, is also spiritually fit.
Prioritize all 4 areas if you not only want to get and stay in shape but more importantly, find fulfillment and happiness in this healthy lifestyle journey.
We try to convey the message to stop viewing this as one dimensional.
You are worth so much more than just abs. You are worth making this a REAL change. You are worth being happy. You are worth having true fulfillment and joy in your life.
Balancing on an uneven chair every day sucks. No wonder the other legs fall out.
Start with the spirit, and watch the rest fall into place. Its a beautiful journey, my friends.

NLP673 - The “Let Them” Theory – Helpful or Harmful?
The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast
05/13/25 • 34 min
In this episode of the Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, Brad Jensen and cohost Craig Smith dive into Mel Robbins’ popular “Let Them” theory that’s been making the rounds on social media. You’ve probably seen it—someone disrespects you or doesn’t meet your expectations and the advice is: “Let them.” But is it that simple?
We unpack the potential benefits of this mindset—especially when it comes to releasing control, protecting your peace, and avoiding unnecessary emotional burnout. But we also challenge the idea and explore the dangers of oversimplifying complex relationships or bypassing healthy boundaries.
This is a conversation rooted in nuance, not black-and-white thinking. We talk about how to discern when “letting them” is empowering... and when it’s actually enabling.
Even when it comes from someone we admire—like Mel Robbins—we believe it’s worth slowing down and looking at the full picture.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- What the “Let Them” theory really means
- Where this mindset can be empowering and liberating
- The risk of using it to avoid conflict or ignore hard conversations
- How to tell when to let go vs. when to lean in
- Why it’s healthy to question even advice from people you respect
If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or navigating emotional fatigue in relationships—this one’s for you.
