I met Hannah Brown on a dating app not knowing who she was—then I Googled her 30 minutes before the date.

This episode of the How To Get The Girl podcast features host Kristen Carney and guest Adam Willard, a health coach and former model married to public figure Hannah Brown. They explore the connection between personal health, authentic self-expression, and dating success. Adam shares his personal journey of dating and marrying Hannah Brown, a former Bachelorette and public figure, despite his own lack of social media presence. He explains how he secured first dates by being direct and proposing specific plans on dating apps, which led to more "conversions." Adam details the pressure he felt to be a "perfect partner" early in their relationship due to Hannah's public spotlight, which led him to suppress his emotions and goals. He reveals they have been in couples counseling for about two years to build a strong foundation before marriage. A key struggle was Adam's tendency toward stoicism, making Hannah feel "crazy" because he wasn't acknowledging tensions or sharing his feelings. Adam argues that while initial stoicism can create intrigue, long-term emotional expression is crucial for women to feel safe and attached. He references the "still face experiment" to illustrate how a lack of emotional reciprocity is deeply distressing. The conversation shifts to health, with Adam explaining his role at the telehealth company Joy Ann Blokes, which focuses on holistic male health through comprehensive biomarker testing. He shares his personal health decline in his early 30s, experiencing low energy and libido. Adam's primary care physician told him his testosterone level of 299 was "standard," but he later learned optimal levels are much higher. He raised his testosterone to 580 within months by switching from long-distance running to weightlifting and improving his vitamin D and B vitamin intake. He connects physical health directly to dating confidence, mental clarity, and the energy needed to engage socially. The episode has a conversational, advice-driven tone blending personal storytelling with practical coaching. Listeners interested in the intersection of physical health, confidence, and relationship dynamics will find this episode valuable. Those seeking highly structured, purely tactical dating advice might find the holistic and personal narrative focus less immediately actionable.
