The Brad Jensen Show

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most well-known pioneers in the energy healing space, Dr. Bradley Nelson — creator of The Emotion Code and author of The Heart Code.

I'll be honest… this is the kind of stuff I used to think was straight-up "woo-woo."

But after having firsthand experience with energy work, I've changed my perspective — and this conversation goes deep into why.

We break down how unresolved emotional experiences don't just live in your mind… they can actually get stored in your body and impact everything from your health to your relationships.

Dr. Nelson explains the concept of "trapped emotions" — emotional energy that wasn't fully processed and ends up lingering in the body, potentially contributing to both emotional and physical issues.  

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is the idea of the "Heart-Wall."

This is essentially a protective barrier your body builds around your heart using layers of trapped emotions — meant to protect you, but often ends up blocking connection, vulnerability, and even success.  

We also dive into:

Why so many people feel stuck emotionally, mentally, or even physically

How past experiences may still be influencing your current behavior and relationships

The role of the subconscious mind in healing

Simple ways to start becoming more aware of emotional patterns

How to avoid continuing to build these "walls" over time

Dr. Nelson also shares insights from his newer work, The Heart Code, and gives practical takeaways for anyone looking to improve their emotional health and overall well-being.

Whether you're skeptical or already open to this kind of work, this episode will challenge how you think about healing, self-awareness, and what's really holding you back.

In this Q&A episode, Craig and I dive into some of the most common struggles we're seeing right now around nutrition, training, and knowing what actually matters.

We start with the all or nothing cycle. Being dialed in during the week, then losing it on the weekends and feeling like you're starting over every Monday. We break down what's really driving that pattern and how to get out of it.

We talk about the frustration of putting in years of work in the gym but still feeling like you look average, and how to actually audit your approach instead of just doing more.

We get into peptides and the current hype around them. Where they can actually be useful, and where people are jumping in way too early chasing an edge they haven't earned.

We also hit on the cycle of losing weight and gaining it back, and why the issue usually isn't the diet itself, but something deeper that keeps repeating.

There's a big conversation around the all in personality. Why going 100 percent eventually backfires, and how to find something sustainable without losing your edge.

And we finish with GLP-1s. How to know if you're using them as a tool versus a crutch, and what should actually be dialed in before going that route.

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Mills. Mike is a past participant of Next Level Experience and someone I have a ton of respect for as a man.

We get into his journey over the last couple of years, including completing 75 Hard not once, but twice. But what stood out most in this conversation is that it wasn't about the physical transformation. It was about what it did for him mentally, emotionally, and the level of ownership he's now operating from.

Mike shares how going through NLE helped shift his perspective and pushed him to step into a bigger version of himself. Not just for his own life, but now in the work he's doing helping other men level up across mind, body, and spirit.

We also touched on something deeper. The passing of his father from ALS and how that experience forced him to take a hard look at his life. It lit a fire under him to stop waiting, stop playing small, and really take control of the direction he's heading.

This is a powerful conversation about growth, responsibility, and what it actually looks like to become the man you know you're capable of being.

If you're someone who knows you've got more in the tank, this one will hit.

On this episode of the Brad Jensen Show, I wrap up the final part of our 3-part NLE Boot Camp series.

This one is solo. Just me tying everything together.

We've already covered the emotional and mental levels in parts one and two. In this episode, I bring it all home and introduce you to the spiritual level. This is the piece most people either ignore or completely misunderstand. And it's also the piece that changes everything when you actually get it.

I break down some of the core principles we teach inside Next Level Experience when it comes to spiritual alignment. Not in a fluffy, surface-level way. In a real, practical, apply-this-to-your-life kind of way.

We talk about:

• What it actually means to be spiritually aligned
• Why so many high performers still feel off even when they are "winning"
• How your mental and emotional patterns are directly tied into your spiritual state
• Why chasing more without alignment will always leave you empty
• How to start operating with more purpose, clarity, and intention

I also touch briefly on the physical level and how it all connects, because the truth is none of these operate in isolation. When one area is off, it bleeds into everything else.

This episode is really about bringing full alignment into your life. Mind, body, and spirit. Not just dominating one area while the rest fall apart.

And if you've been listening to this series and thinking "this is exactly what I need," then this is your sign.

We are heading into what is shaping up to be the final round of Next Level Experience in 2026.

If you're ready to stop half-assing certain areas of your life and actually put everything together, book a discovery call.

But only do it if you're serious about doing the work. All of it. Not just the physical.

Let's finish this series strong.

In part two of our three-part series, I sat down with Frank Young to dive into something that impacts every single area of your life… your relationships.

Frank has been married for 35 years and brings a level of wisdom and real-world experience that you just can't fake. Not only that, but he coaches relationships in his own business and inside of the Next Level Experience, so this isn't theory… this is what actually works.

We break down some of the exact principles we teach inside NLE when it comes to building stronger, more connected, and more intentional relationships.

We also zoom out and connect the dots between your mental patterns, your emotional responses, and how those show up in your relationship… whether you realize it or not.

If you've ever felt disconnected, misunderstood, or like you keep running into the same patterns in your relationships… this one will hit.

This is one you're going to want to take notes on.
