Welcome to The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show

If you're looking for real nutrition strategies that help you build a strong, lean body without the BS of restrictive dieting, then you're in the right place.

I’m Coach Ben, and for the past 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of men take control of their nutrition, fitness, and overall health—without sacrificing their careers, families, or sanity.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The truth about breakfast—does it actually matter?
• How meal timing impacts energy, fat loss, and decision-making.
• The common mistake most people make with their meal structure (and how to fix it).
• Why late-night eating can sabotage your sleep and metabolism.
• A smarter way to determine how many calories you should eat daily.

We’ve all heard the phrase: “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” But is it really? In this episode, I break down the science and my real-world coaching experience to reveal whether breakfast is truly necessary for optimal health and fat loss. We also discuss how meal timing affects energy levels, satiety, and long-term success—and why you might want to rethink your dinner habits.

I also share a simple, no-BS approach to figuring out how many calories you should be eating daily, without relying on generic online calculators.

If you're ready to take control of your nutrition and stop guessing, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I catch up with my buddy Jordan Bokser, a health practitioner and supplement expert with extensive experience working in the supplement industry for some very reputable and popular brands.

As someone who had a supplement company and formulated a popular workout product, I know about all of the intricacies that go into sourcing high-quality ingredients, bringing a product to market, and how to read between the lines of all the nefarious BS that’s going on as influencers and social media make it harder and harder to know what works and is worth your hard-earned dollars.

In this episode, Jordan and I discuss how, through personal illness, realized the power of high-quality supplementation..

We talk about the difference between practitioner grade products and conventional brands, like those you find at Walgreens, Costco and CVS

We discuss the commoditization of supplement brands and how the cost of products isn’t always reflective of the quality

And we talk about his new company, Spoken Nutrition and the high quality, and foundational products that should form the backbone of someones supplement regimen.

If you’re currently taking supplements or you’ve considered it and aren't sure where to start, then this episode is for you.
