I love this podcast!! Brad is hilarious and very knowledgable, a definite leader in the health and fitness industry. I also love how he is open-minded and willing to stray from the usual topics from time to time. He truly lives his motto "Peak Performance with passion". Excellent podcast!

Lifted720 · Apr 2024

I follow lots of podcasts, but if I had to choose only ONE, it would be Brad’s. He has a unique ability to gather information and summarize the key points with almost encyclopedic recall. I love that he is super honest and stays flexible in what he’s learning. For example, he hasn’t been afraid to share that he’s learning that carb restriction, fasting, etc may not be as important as he once believed — that openess and new viewpoint really helped me. He brings on amazing guests like Jay Feldman and John Gray. Brad’s podcasts have been very important in my physical and overall health.
