In last week’s episode (Ep 83), I broke down why I personally use supplements — convenience, consistency, and filling nutrition gaps

This week I’m joined by Ashley Grace, CMO at Igniton and Quantum Wellness Strategist, for a grounded discussion about what “quantum wellness” actually means… and whether it’s the future of health or just a fancy term for another supplement.

What is Quantum Wellness? What is a Quantum charged supplement?

In my last episode #83, I discuss eliminating the need for extra supplements that aren't important. Is this an extra supplement? Or is it worth it?

If you’ve ever wondered whether “quantum” is legit, hype, or somewhere in the middle, this episode brings the clarity.

Most people don’t struggle with knowing what to eat—they struggle with staying consistent. In this episode, I explain why I personally use supplements and how they make hitting my nutrition goals easier, more realistic, and way less stressful.

I break down:

• Why perfect nutrition is nearly impossible in real life

• How supplements help fill nutritional gaps

• The ones I use daily (protein, creatine, electrolytes, greens, etc.)

• Why supplements support busy lifestyles and active training

• Common misconceptions about supplementation

• How to use supplements wisely without overcomplicating things

This is the honest, practical look at supplements most people never hear. If you want to improve your consistency, energy, and overall nutrition, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, I team up with former elite track cyclist and Olympic development coach Lee Povey for a powerful co-teaching session on success, leadership, and long-term career growth.

This conversation becomes a masterclass for trainers, coaches, and entrepreneurs who are in the grind — building, learning, and trying to take the next step.

Together, Ben and Lee break down the real phases of becoming a high-level coach and leader: finding your craft, becoming excellent, building systems, and eventually scaling your impact through leadership.

Lee brings decades of experience coaching athletes and founders, while Ben offers the modern-day perspective of someone actively building his fitness business in real time. The two viewpoints merge into a practical roadmap for anyone trying to grow.

If you’ve ever wondered when to push harder, when to pivot, why consistency matters more than intensity, or how to evolve from “just a trainer” into a true leader — this episode has your answers. It’s honest, relatable, validating, and loaded with actionable guidance.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why the early phases of your career feel messy — and why that’s normal

• The mindset shift from worker → builder → leader

• The real skills that separate great coaches from average ones

• How to stay committed when results are slow or invisible

• How to build systems instead of burning yourself out

• What Lee wishes he knew earlier in his own coaching journey

Who This Episode Is For:

Trainers, coaches, entrepreneurs, content creators, and anyone grinding toward a bigger future.

If you’re training clients in a park, editing your own content, questioning your direction, or trying to build a business brick by brick — this one is for you.

Your glutes and core aren’t just there to look good — they’re the foundation of every movement you make. In this episode, Ben breaks down why activating these muscle groups is essential for better performance, posture, and longevity. You’ll learn how a strong glute–core connection protects your spine, improves balance, enhances strength, and even helps eliminate lower back pain.

Whether you’re lifting in the gym, running, or just sitting too much during the day, this episode explains how to wake up your glutes and core so your body moves the way it’s meant to — strong, stable, and pain-free.

What if you could get the benefits of fasting — improved energy, cellular repair, sharper focus, and longevity — without skipping meals?

In this episode, I sits down with Dr. Chris Rhodes, PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry and CEO of Mimio Health, to unpack the real science behind fasting, metabolism, and weight loss — and how the emerging field of fasting mimetics might help you activate fat-burning and cellular repair even when you’re not fasting.

You’ll learn:

• • How fasting actually triggers fat loss and metabolic health improvements

• • Why fasting works for some people but leaves others feeling tired, foggy or lack of results

  • The connection between fasting, muscle recovery, and energy levels

  • How to approach fasting safely for your body type and training goals

  • What new science says about “fasting mimetic” supplements and how they may support weight management and longevity

• This episode bridges science, performance, and longevity — showing how understanding your body’s cellular health can take your recovery, training, and overall well-being to the next level.

In this episode, I explain the three planes of movement — sagittal, frontal, and transverse.

I explain, why incorporating all of them into your training is essential for balance, stability, and long-term performance.

You’ll learn how your body naturally moves through each plane, how most exercises fit into them, and how to design a more complete and functional workout routine.

Most people train in one plane of motion — usually forward and backward — repeating the same movement patterns in every workout. While that builds strength, it can also create muscle imbalances, limit mobility, and increase the risk of injury over time.

In this episode, I sit down with Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, to uncover the truth about testosterone and hormone therapy.

As a personal trainer, I’ve always heard about testosterone being linked to strength, energy, recovery, and motivation — but I’ve never fully understood how it works or whether things like TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) are actually healthy.

Shalin breaks it all down in this conversation — from what testosterone really does in the body, to who truly needs TRT, the health risks people overlook, and how lifestyle habits like training, sleep, and nutrition play a major role in hormone balance.

Whether you’ve considered TRT or just want to better understand your body’s natural hormone health, this episode will help you separate fact from fiction.

In this episode we cover:

• What testosterone really does in the body

• The difference between natural optimization and medical therapy

• Who actually benefits from TRT (and who doesn’t)

• Common myths and misconceptions

• How exercise, sleep, and stress management impact hormone levels

• Long-term health and longevity considerations

In this episode, I sit down with Scott Chaverri, the founder and CEO of Mito Red Light, to break down why getting the right kind of light can dramatically impact your energy, recovery, and overall health.

We dive into the science behind red and near-infrared light, how it supports muscle recovery, sleep, hormone balance, and cellular energy, and why it’s especially powerful for people who don’t get enough natural sunlight.

Whether you’re an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or just looking to feel better day-to-day, this episode will help you understand how light exposure could be the missing piece in your health routine.
