What if your breakthrough isn’t another supplement or hormone protocol, but a personalized understanding of what’s actually driving your results?
In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I talk with Brad Clifford, founder and CEO of ELEVÉTION Health, a concierge performance company built around genomics, advanced blood work, and cellular health. Brad shares how he went from panic attacks and brain fog to rebuilding his health from the cellular level up.

We break down the two-pronged nature of health, psychological and physiological, why sleep is the ultimate force multiplier, and why no supplement, peptide, or TRT protocol can replace foundational habits. We also dive into metabolic flexibility, mitochondrial health, GLP-1 drugs, and why most people regain the weight when they come off them.

Tune in now to build a smarter, more sustainable strategy for long-term performance and longevity.
