Welcome back to Iron Sights! In this episode, I sat down with Brad Jenson to unpack his wild journey before founding Key Nutrition. Jenson shares the WHY behind his current 9 years of sobriety and the turning point where he decided to either get sober or commit suicide. Health & Fitness was always a key component of Jensen’s life. Ever since he picked up his first fitness magazine at age 14, Brad knew his purpose was to understand all aspects of nutrition. He became a NASM & ACE certified personal trainer and changed the course of his life. Today, Jensen owns and operates a brick and mortar coaching business based out of Utah where his coaches customize nutrition plans for clients both in person and virtually that focus on: Gut health, hormonal health, nutritional periodization, macronutrient configuration & exercise physiology.
