We are a virtual one-on-one nutrition and fitness coaching company, and we help clients change their belief system of what it means to be healthy. And we do this with our pure science, proven results system.
Today, instead of our regular podcast, I'm excited to share an interview I did on the Success Flow Podcast with my buddies Phil Crawford and Steven Harris. In this episode, I share my personal story -- how my struggles with gastrointestinal issues ignited a passion for clinical nutrition and functional medicine and how, through years of study, I’ve come to realize that achieving health isn’t about quick fixes. Instead, it’s about treating the body as a whole, understanding the interconnectedness of our systems, and, most importantly, taking ownership of our health journey.
I discuss the emotional side of health, how mindset, belief systems, and perspective shifts are key to building a positive relationship with food and exercise, and why consistency, patience, and effort are the cornerstones of lasting change.
I’ll also dive into the importance of leading by example—how your health choices can inspire those around you, especially within your family. ,
Finally, I'll explore the role of coaching and support and why realistic, sustainable approaches are the only way to long-term success.
So, if you’re ready to make a change, this episode will give you the tools, mindset, and inspiration to take ownership and build the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling life. So, without further ado, let's dive into my interview on the Success Flow Podcast.

In today's Q&A episode, I'm answering questions submitted by our listeners on nutrition, fitness, lifestyle, and, of course, fat loss.
First, I'll explore the world of health tech—what are the best apps and wearables out there, and are they genuinely helping us or just adding noise?
Next, I'll clear up some common misconceptions about foods you think are healthy. You might be surprised by what you learn about everyday items like peanut butter, cheese, and even your morning eggs!
Finally, I'll demystify net carbs—what are they, how are they calculated, and can they help you manage your carbohydrate intake more effectively?

Welcome to another Q&A episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, where I answer some of your most pressing questions about nutrition, fitness, and fat loss.
I'm your host, as always, Ben Brown, Owner and Head Coach here at Body Systems. We are an online nutrition and fitness coaching company, and we help you change your belief system around what it means to be healthy.
In today's podcast, I tackle the ways people often self-sabotage their weight loss efforts. I'll explore why setting realistic expectations is more than just a guideline—it's necessary, and how missteps in how we structure our diets and our day-to-day choices can lead to setbacks rather than progress.
Next, I discuss a common client question: How long does it take to see weight loss results? It's tempting to look for quick fixes, but real, sustainable weight loss is a nuanced journey. I'll break down what factors influence the weight loss timeline and why patience and consistency are your best allies.
Finally, I'll address a significant hurdle for many: What if tracking your food intake just isn't working for you? Not everyone thrives with meticulous tracking—sometimes, it's stressful or unmanageable. I'll explore alternative strategies to help you maintain awareness of your eating habits without feeling overwhelmed.

Welcome back to another episode of The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show. As always, I'm your host, Ben Brown. And in this Q&A episode, I'll answer some of your most pressing questions about nutrition, fitness, and fat loss.
First, I'm discussing how to shift your mindset from viewing exercise as a chore to embracing it as a privilege. This is a game-changer for anyone feeling stuck in their fitness routine.
Then, I'll break down my honest conversations with prospective clients about cost. If you've ever hesitated to invest in your health because of the price tag, you'll want to hear this.
And finally, we can't talk about transformation without discussing diets—the good, the bad, and the ugly. We'll explore why some popular diets fail, my least favorite diet, and how specific diets might even harm your health and fitness goals in the long run.
Whether you’re just starting or have been at this for a while, today’s episode is packed with insights that could challenge how you think about exercise, investment in health, and nutritional choices.
So, buckle up, subscribe if you haven’t yet, and let’s dive in.

Welcome back to another episode of The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show.
I'm Ben Brown, head coach and owner here at Body Systems and I'm excited to welcome you to this Q&A episode.
In today's episode, we are going to talk about whether you're using the right weight for a given exercise and how to know how much weight you should be using.
We're going to talk about whether it's possible to lose fat and build muscle at the same time.
And what do you do if you have "bad genetics"? Oh, is it your genetics that's keeping you stuck? I beg to differ, but you're going to have to find out more by digging into this episode.
So let's go ahead and jump right in.

All too often, clients join our Smart Nutrition Coaching Program having spent years taking care of everyone else but themselves, only to realize that the person they see in the mirror is no longer a reflection of who they want to be.
This exact scenario played out with my wife, Kristina. A former collegiate athlete and all-around hard-charging individual, Kristina put all of her time and effort into work, taking care of our three kids, and volunteering what little time she had left. She found herself drinking more alcohol than she'd like to admit, snacking in the evenings, hitting up fast food restaurants on the way home from work, staying up too late, and not getting enough sleep. She realized that she wasn't living up to the person she wanted to be for her kids.
A few years ago, Kristina made a massive shift. She left her job in corporate America, became my business partner, hired Coach Joey, started to prioritize herself, and her results have been incredible.
In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm excited to share my wife's experience both in the trenches at Body Systems and as a client, along with all of the wisdom, knowledge, and advice she has gleaned over the last few years.
If you're pouring all of your energy into your children, your career, and/or your commitments, and you're unhappy with the person you've become, then I hope this conversation resonates with you and gives you the kick in the pants to start shifting your mindset around what could be possible if you start prioritizing yourself.

If it sounds too good to be true...
It probably is.
In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I call bullshit on all the crap being spewed over social media on how to lose weight without having to make any sacrifices.
Without giving up alcohol.
Without tracking your food.
Without meal prepping or meal planning.
Without giving up junk food.
Because there will ALWAYS be tradeoffs.
And while you don't have to do all of these things to lose weight, the process is going to be THAT much harder in the long-run.
