In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sit down with my friend Jack Hollow, a nutrition coach and personal trainer out of the great country of Australia. Jack and I originally connected on Instagram because we realized we see the world of health and fitness through a very similar lens. No fluff. No extremes. No chasing trends. Just principles that actually work. This conversation goes way beyond sets, reps, and macros. We break down some of the most dangerous trends circulating in the fitness industry right now. From extreme dieting approaches to all-or-nothing mindsets, we talk about why so many people are being pulled in the wrong direction and what actually creates sustainable results. We also dive into something that doesn't get talked about enough: mental health as a coach. What does it really look like to hold space for clients? How do you manage your own stress while helping others manage theirs? Where is the line between coaching, therapy, and responsibility? Jack shares his perspective from working with clients in Australia, and I share what I've seen building Next Level Nutrition and working with driven dads who are trying to balance performance, family, and identity. Toward the end, the conversation naturally shifts into something deeper. We talk about growth outside of fitness. Identity. Purpose. Faith. Responsibility. What it actually means to live in alignment. It turned into one of those conversations that reminds you this work is about so much more than body fat percentage. If you're a coach, a high performer, or someone trying to build a stronger body and a stronger mind at the same time, this one will hit.
