Welcome!
In case we haven't been introduced, I'm Ben Brown, the owner of BSL Nutrition, an online nutrition & fitness consulting business specializing in designing individualized nutrition, lifestyle, and strength training programs for highly driven men and women.
Currently, I work with both local and long-distance individuals and businesses and have consulted with fortune 500 companies and professional sports teams, including the Arizona Diamondbacks and Golden State Warriors organizations.
While these were pretty cool opportunities, I'll be honest, I find it much more rewarding working with regular day "Joes" and "Janes". Those who are struggling to find the balance between business, family, and trying to squeeze in the much needed exercise and nutrition habits.
I have 2 masters degrees, one in Clinical Nutrition and the other one in Exercise physiology….but that’s not what makes me so successful at getting the results I do for my clients. Don’t get me wrong…those two degrees really help me to understand the science behind the results my clients get…but as you know, it’s a lot more than that. Losing weight and keeping it off involves a lot more than science.
If you have been at this a while you know its not all that easy, especially if you are juggling the responsibilities of running a business and/or working long hours, raising kids and keeping up with a busy lifestyle (which we all are!).
And I have to be honest with you, I have had my own health struggles too. For too many years I struggled with extreme low energy without realizing it.
I knew something was wrong but just chalked it up to having a new baby,
working very early mornings & long days, as well as working on a second
Masters degree on the weekends. I learned the hard way that the
combination of these stressful factors, coupled with what I thought were
good nutrition habits were setting me up for disaster.
And then the bomb dropped...
I got to the point where my immune system utterly crashed. I had an endless
stream of cold sores, was chronically fatigued, my joints ached and I was
diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus (which is surprisingly common, but
asymptomatic for most people).
Of course a major lifestyle change was in order. And even though I was
working on a Master’s degree in clinical nutrition, ironically, my “good”
nutrition habits were only digging the needle deeper…
I realized that much of the conventional
wisdom about our nutrition today is at
out WRONG!
I started listening to my body screaming at me to change my ways. As I dug
deeper down the nutrition rabbit hole, I started to better understand how I
had been not only depriving my body of the real nutrition it needed, but also
masking my fatigue with stimulants that were only depleting me further.
Fortunately, I was able to overcome these common immune suppressing
habits. So much so, that these have become just a few of the overarching principles
that I use today when working with top performing executives, athletes
, and highly driven 'Joes' and 'Janes' from around the globe.
I discuss a lot of these principles on my popular podcast called The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on iTunes.
Having been in the industry for over 15 years, it's clear to me that there’s no one right way to improve your health and fitness. Rather, it’s a series of smart choices made consistently that will set one up for success. And now, 3 kiddos later, these principles continue to help me and my clients maintain our health & fitness goals while still experiencing high levels of energy and productivity.
Does any of this resonate with you?
