The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast (Formerly The Key Nutrition Podcast)

In this powerful in-studio episode, I’m joined by Treavor Hawkins — an active-duty military member and competitive bodybuilder who’s survived two serious suicide attempts. His story is raw, real, and incredibly inspiring.

Treavor takes us through the darkest moments of his life and how they became the catalyst for emotional, mental, and spiritual transformation. From the depths of hell to a life filled with purpose, Treavor now uses his voice to uplift others through his own podcast and message.

We dive into:

• The turning points that changed everything
• How fitness became his anchor
• His emotional and spiritual growth
• The power of vulnerability and purpose

This is more than a comeback — it’s a reminder of what’s possible when you refuse to give up.

If this hit home, share it with someone who needs it — and don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review.

We’ve all said it… “I’ll start tomorrow.” Whether it’s your fitness, nutrition, or that one habit you’ve been meaning to build — there’s something strangely comforting about pushing it off to tomorrow.

In this episode, Brad and Craig break down the real reason we fall into the “starting tomorrow” mentality — and it’s not just laziness. Craig unpacks the science behind it, explaining how putting off change actually triggers a dopamine rush that makes us feel good, even though we’re doing nothing. Wild, right?

We also dig into the deeper mindset behind this pattern: perfectionism, fear of failure, identity issues, and the illusion that tomorrow you will somehow be more motivated, more disciplined, or have more time.

But don’t worry — this isn’t just a callout. We also give you real strategies to break free from the loop and start taking imperfect action today.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your brain loves the “starting tomorrow” story
• How dopamine tricks you into inaction
• The difference between motivation and discipline (and which one actually matters)
• Simple mindset shifts to start now — not next week
• How to stop needing a “perfect” starting point

If you’ve been stuck in that cycle of almost starting, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this solo episode, Brad breaks down five of the most overrated exercises you see people doing all the time in the gym. These aren’t flashy TikTok moves—these are the staples that have been passed down for years, but might not be giving you the results you think they are.

Whether it’s poor mechanics, ego lifting, or just outdated thinking, Brad dives into why these exercises are often misused or misunderstood—and what smarter, more effective alternatives you can do instead.

If you’re serious about training with purpose and intention, this episode will help you rethink your programming and get more out of every workout.

If I could go back and coach the younger version of myself when I first started my fitness journey, I’d have a lot to say. In this episode, I break down the biggest mistakes I made early on—and the key things I’d do differently if I had to start all over today.

From being a clean-eating zealot and blindly following meal plans to underestimating the power of sleep, fiber, and mental health… this is the real, unfiltered truth about what I’ve learned over the years. I also dive into comparison traps at the gym, the shift from restriction to flexibility, and why focusing on the long game always wins.

Whether you’re just starting your journey or you’ve been at this a while, this episode will give you some honest perspective and practical takeaways to help you level up—with fewer detours than I took.

In this raw and vulnerable solo episode, I share the scariest moment of my life—an unexpected and severe allergic reaction that sent me into full-blown anaphylactic shock while I was still driving. I blacked out, nearly died, and somehow, by what I believe were divine miracles, I’m still here to tell the story.

This episode isn’t just about what happened—it’s about what that moment taught me. I open up about the profound lessons I took from this brush with death, including the deeper perspective on life it gave me and the unshakable power of gratitude, even in the middle of chaos.

Whether you’ve faced your own life-threatening scare or just been through something heavy, my hope is that this episode gives you insight, perspective, and maybe even peace. Sometimes it takes a traumatic moment to wake us up—but we don’t have to wait until it’s life or death to start living fully.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• The terrifying details of my allergic reaction and what happened in those critical moments
• The divine moments I believe saved my life
• The powerful shift in perspective I experienced afterward
• Why gratitude is essential—even (and especially) in our darkest times
• Lessons you might take away from your own hard or traumatic experiences

If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs a reminder of how precious life really is.
