This week, Brent sits down with Tori Penta — athlete, yoga teacher, and founder of Holy Body — to talk about the messy, beautiful journey of transformation.

Tori opens up about life after a decade-long relationship, hitting rock bottom with mental health, and moving to Austin to rebuild her life from the ground up. With honesty, humor, and heart, she shares how training with Brent helped her reconnect with her athletic roots, rebuild strength after a back injury, and rediscover confidence in her body.

This conversation dives into the intersection of faith, fitness, and discipline — from navigating the spiritual “false prophets” of Austin, to finding peace in Jesus, to creating a new movement practice that blends yoga, breath, and worship.

If you’ve ever felt lost, anxious, or stuck chasing someone else’s version of health and beauty, Tori’s story will inspire you to take back your power, embrace strength, and root your life in something real.

What happens when two creative powerhouses — one a mom decide to stop talking about getting fit and actually start lifting heavy things with Brent? Chaos. Laughter. Soreness. And a whole lot of transformation.In this episode of Bodies by Brent, Katie West and Laura North share how they basically stalked Brent until he agreed to train them (their words, not ours). They talk about walking into the gym nervous, surviving their first workouts, and realizing that strength training was exactly what they needed — not just for their bodies, but for their business, families, and sanity.Somewhere between deadlifts and dumbbells, Katie & Laura also manage to run Headspace Salon & Cooperative — a beauty collective that’s just as much about community as it is about hair. We dive into how fitness fuels their creativity, how Laura balances motherhood and entrepreneurship, and why training has been the ultimate secret weapon for confidence.This one’s part fitness story, part business lesson, and part comedy hour.📌 Episode Chapters00:00 – 07:30 | “Brent, Please Train Us!”: How Katie & Laura convinced Brent to let them join the Bodies by Brent crew.07:30 – 24:00 | Surviving the First Workouts: Spoiler --- they lived.

At 15 years old, Brad Evarts nearly died in a car crash that claimed two lives. That moment shaped everything — setting him on a path defined by resilience, faith, and second chances.

From building iconic restaurants in California, to experiencing devastating setbacks, to moving to Texas with his wife Julie and creating Moose Farmz — Brad’s story is bold, raw, and deeply inspiring. Today, their handcrafted pozole, gazpacho, and fresh salsas are quickly becoming favorites at the Barton Creek Farmers Market and beyond.

Beyond food and business, Brad trains with me weekly. At 60+, his discipline, energy, and childlike spirit are powerful reminders that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself.

Many listeners will also recognize Brad as the father of Lauryn Bosstick, creator of The Skinny Confidential. Having Lauryn as a client and friend for the past four years has been a profound gift in my life — and training with Brad has given me a deeper appreciation for where so much of her brilliance and strength come from.

This conversation is about faith, family, resilience, and the fire to keep living fully at every age.

Brent welcomes Patty Brewton—former D1 swimmer, mom of two, coach, and founder of Allez—to share her transformation from postpartum burnout to becoming a lean, strong, empowered woman through progressive overload and macro tracking. 

Patty breaks down exactly how she rebuilt her health during the chaos of COVID, why women need to stop chasing sweat and start chasing strength, and how she’s now helping others do the same—without giving up pizza, wine, or joy.

From lifting with toddlers around to launching her own app, Patty drops no-fluff insights on fat loss, muscle gain, reverse dieting, and the massive mental freedom that comes from learning macros.

Most women are told “your labs look normal” while they’re exhausted, inflamed, anxious, and unable to lose weight.

But normal isn’t the same as optimal.

In this episode, Brent sits down with Dr. Joseph Radich, a leading functional and regenerative medicine expert and founder of R3 Health, to unpack why the current healthcare system fails women — and what to do about it.

They break down early diagnostics, hormone testing, full-body MRI, stem cell therapy, the truth about peptides, and what it actually means to take control of your health.

This episode is both a warning and a wake-up call — especially if you’ve ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or like your body is screaming and no one is listening.

Lauren Burandt’s life shattered in a single moment—and what followed was a descent into grief, trauma, and silence. In this raw, emotional, and deeply empowering episode, Brent sits down with Lauren to unpack her story: the loss of her baby, the death of her brother, and how she rebuilt her life through strength, jiu jitsu, breathwork, plant medicine, and brutal self-honesty.

They explore the realities of spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, and what it really means to heal. From hospital hallways to Ayahuasca ceremonies, Lauren shares the hardest truths she’s never told publicly—until now.

This is more than a wellness story. It’s a resurrection.

Brent welcomes wellness advocate and content creator Abbie Crane (House of Abbie) for a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation on fitness, perimenopause, parenting, and personal reinvention.

A mother of three and soon-to-be grandmother, Abbie shares how she’s entering a new phase of life with intention—using strength training, hormone health, and daily movement to stay empowered and energized. They discuss how her upbringing shaped her approach to wellness, what shifted for her in her 40s, and how women can reclaim their vitality at any stage.

Abbie opens up about her hormone replacement therapy journey, the realities of midlife, and why strength isn’t just about the body—it’s a mindset. She also talks about raising boys in the digital age, working with functional medicine, and the spiritual power of Yoga Nidra. This one’s about resilience, evolution, and creating a life you actually want to live.
