"ChatGPT is not that sophisticated yet. So for marketers, what that means is there are real ways right now for arbitrage in this short period of time before ChatGPT gets good enough to say, no, we're only showing the proper result." Mac King from Domaine breaks down why merchants are seeing ChatGPT and Perplexity show up as referral sources in their analytics—and what to do about it. We talked about the terminology wars (GEO vs AEO vs AI search optimization), why AI engines favor content from Google's 10th page, and the Reddit strategies that actually work without getting banned.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Brad Pitzele - EWOT (Exercise While On Oxygen Therapy) www.onethousandroads.com YouTube: @OneThousandRoadsHQ In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks , host Brad Williams sits down with Brad Pitzele , founder of One Thousand Roads , to explore Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) —a powerful biohacking modality that combines cardio exercise with oxygen enrichment to boost health, performance, and longevity. Brad shares his personal battle with autoimmune arthritis and Lyme disease , a journey that began over a decade ago. After years of medication cycles, painful symptoms, and even a bout with melanoma , he sought alternative healing paths. Conventional treatments offered no long-term relief, leading him to research deeper into root causes and natural recovery methods. When a doctor suggested trying hyperbaric oxygen therapy or EWOT , Pitzele balked at the cost and accessibility of hyperbaric chambers. Instead, he built his own EWOT system , experienced dramatic recovery over several months, and eventually founded One Thousand Roads in 2018 to make the technology affordable and accessible. EWOT involves 15 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise while breathing near-pure oxygen through a mask connected to a large oxygen reservoir. Key points: Uses oxygen concentrators to fill a 1,000-liter reservoir . Enables oxygen delivery far beyond what standard machines can supply. Can be used with any stationary cardio equipment (bike, treadmill, rebounder, etc.). Requires only standard electrical outlets and minimal setup space. Pitzele explains that as we age, “inflammaging” causes microscopic capillaries to constrict, restricting oxygen delivery and forcing cells into low-energy, anaerobic states. EWOT reverses this by: Reoxygenating plasma to reach starved tissues. Reducing inflammation and restoring blood flow. Reactivating mitochondria (cellular powerhouses) and promoting new mitochondrial growth. Boosting VO₂ max , endurance, and recovery. Enhancing detoxification , as oxygen helps flush toxins and lactic acid. Supporting fat burning and overall energy production. Unlike hyperbaric oxygen, which relies on external pressure, EWOT uses exercise-driven oxygen demand for faster, more efficient absorption.

Beyond the Calcium Score: Longevity & Your Own Stem Cells Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group! Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Dr. Khoshal Latifzai - Rocky Mountain Regenerative Medicine www.RMRM.com Guest: Dr. Kal Khoshal, MD (Rocky Mountain Regenerative Medicine, Boulder, CO) Focus: Longevity, prevention-first diagnostics, and regenerative therapies (peptides, hormones, PRP, stem cells). Origin story & model: After Dartmouth Med and a Yale EM residency, Dr. Khoshal left the ER due to burnout and the “band-aid” nature of conventional care. He built a cash-pay concierge clinic to spend 60–90 minutes with patients, run deeper diagnostics, and create long-term, prevention-focused plans. He does not bill insurance (patients keep catastrophic coverage), which lets him order better tests and avoid the admin churn. Diagnostics that actually predict risk: Starts from top U.S. mortality drivers (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, trauma in older adults) and then chooses biomarkers that best reflect true risk , repeating them multiple times per year and explaining results in plain English with written notes. Cancer screening: uses blood tests that detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as an early, broad screen; positives are followed by imaging (often full-body MRI or targeted MRI/PET). Heart disease: warns that calcium-score CT can miss early non-calcified plaque (common in 40s–60s). Prefers imaging that sees soft plaque before calcification. Whole-body MRI: advocates this for catching issues (like leg artery disease) that localized scans miss—especially relevant to older adults. Therapies & philosophy: Tools include peptides, hormones, PRP, and stem cells , but only after foundations: exercise, nutrition, and social health —there’s no shortcut. Stem cells: strongly prefers autologous (your own) cells that are culture-expanded in a sterile lab, stored, and used over time (IV for systemic repair; guided injections for joints/spine). Cautions against routine allogeneic (donor/cord) cells due to immune reactions and potential long-term autoimmunity . Banking earlier is better, but even older adults can benefit; he shared an 80-year-old scoliosis case that avoided major spine surgery after one procedure. In-clinic process: mini-lipo harvest → lab isolation & expansion → cryostorage (annual maintenance fee ~$350). Advises skepticism about overseas clinics and some cord-blood banks with variable quality/control.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Glutathione Patch: Episode Summary – Post-Hernia Recovery & New Fitness PlanRecovery Context Brad Williams (Over 40 Fitness Hacks) shares his post-hernia surgery update and how the recovery process is forcing him to pause and re-evaluate his approach. While the downtime is frustrating, it’s giving him space to reset his training and nutrition strategy . Protein-focused intermittent fasting: 180–200g of protein across 2 meals daily. Routine: 3 full-body gym sessions (30 minutes, time under tension, circuit style). PT/rebounding on Tues & Thurs. Daily 1–2 mile walks. Planned HIIT trampoline sessions (not always done). Supplements: Glutathione patches boosted caloric expenditure and energy when used, but results declined after stopping. Routine stagnation: Same workouts/walks no longer elevate heart rate beyond Zone 2. Calorie balance: Needs ~1800–2000 calories daily to feel good, but weight loss requires dipping to ~1500, which tanks energy, hormones, and libido. Reluctant to adopt other cardio forms (boxing, yoga, pilates) despite potential benefits. Not interested in “outworking” calories with marathon-style activity like his brother’s volleyball sessions. Red light therapy (Trifecta Light): Tried 12 sessions ($200 unlimited). Minimal personal results (slight arm nerve relief), but his 80-year-old mom noticed some weight loss. Brad is skeptical it’s worth it for him long-term. Glutathione patches (Lifewave): Previously the best measurable boost on Whoop data, may revisit later. Testing over supplement overload: Pausing new supplement trials to focus on his own experiment with diet/training changes. Nutrition Shift: Move from 2 meals → 3 meals daily. Increase protein to 225–250g/day (all from real meat, no whey or pea protein). Lunch carries most carbs/fats, dinner focuses on salad + lean proteins (Mediterranean style: fish, chicken, crab, scallops). Maintain monthly 36–48 hour fasts for autophagy, while loosening daily fasting windows. Training Adjustments: Recommit to HIIT once per week (30s on/off on rebounder with vest, dumbbells, band, oxygen mask). Keep gym/rehab/walking structure, but recognize the need for stimulus change if progress stalls. Biohacker’s Edge: Lean on protein-driven thermogenesis and added lean mass to naturally raise BMR. Hold off on glutathione patches until he proves the new plan works.

Creatine Without the Bloat: Con-Cret’s Founder on HCL vs. Monohydrate Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group! Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Mark Faulkner - Con-Cret Supplements Social Media: @concret_creatine www.Con-Cret.com Brad opened by sharing your personal experience with creatine monohydrate — its benefits for strength and endurance, but also the downside of bloating and water retention that kept you from using it consistently. Mark clarified that “HCL” vs. “hcl” is just a marketing capitalization difference and explained that creatine hydrochloride (HCL) can offer the same benefits with fewer side effects due to its superior bioavailability. Mark shared his science-heavy background (physics, biochemistry, toxicology) and his experience co-founding a forensic toxicology lab. His team built the NFL’s steroid testing program, which sparked his interest in safe, legal performance enhancers. After selling the lab, he partnered with sports medicine researchers to find steroid alternatives that could help athletes recover and maintain strength safely. This search led to creatine HCL, which showed strong results for strength, endurance, and recovery without the typical side effects of monohydrate. Bioavailability & Efficiency: Creatine HCL is more easily absorbed due to its chemical structure and compatibility with stomach acid (HCL), allowing smaller doses to deliver more creatine to muscle, brain, and immune cells. Side Effects: Princeton research shows over 50% of men and 75% of women experience bloating and GI distress with monohydrate, which is largely avoided with HCL. Performance Benefits: Faster recovery, increased training capacity, and leaner muscle gains compared to monohydrate. Mark emphasized that creatine supports all cells — not just muscles: Brain health & cognition: Supports energy for thinking and memory. Immune system: T-cells upregulate creatine receptors before attacking pathogens or abnormal cells (e.g., cancer), so adequate creatine helps them “win the fight.” Disease prevention & longevity: The CDC is investigating low creatine levels as a factor in rising chronic disease rates. Mark provided a three-tier approach: Daily Health: 750 mg per day for most people. Exercise / Biohacking: 750 mg per 100 lbs of body weight 30–60 minutes pre-workout (double up on very strenuous days). Medical/Disease States: Higher doses (up to 4–6 g daily) split into multiple servings. He also noted that creatine should be taken daily with no need to cycle off , and extra doses can help with fatigue, poor sleep, or jet lag. Mark stressed that over 90% of creatine is made in China, and quality can vary dramatically. Con-Cret is the only U.S.-made creatine , manufactured in an NSF-certified facility in Nebraska, ensuring purity and safety for athletes who undergo drug testing. Con-Cret holds multiple patents for its creatine HCL technology, further setting it apart.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Arthur - CEO of HAVN - EMF Clothing www.havnwear.com 15% Off Discount Code: OVER40 Social Media: @HAVNWEAR Arthur, founder of HAVN (pronounced "Haven") Clothing, joined the show to raise awareness around EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation , which is emitted from everyday electronics like phones, Wi-Fi routers, smartwatches, and even microwaves. Though not widely discussed, EMFs have been classified by the World Health Organization as a Class 2B possible carcinogen and are linked in over 2,000 studies to issues like: DNA damage Neurological disorders Sleep disruption Cardiovascular disease Fertility problems Arthur’s background in biology and engineering, plus personal experiences with illness in his family, led him to explore the health risks of EMF exposure and design protective clothing through HAVN. As technology evolves (especially with 5G and 6G), EMF exposure is increasing . Newer tech requires more antennas and emits stronger frequencies , especially in urban areas and smart homes filled with connected devices. Even wearables like fitness trackers (e.g., WHOOP) and cell phones —due to proximity—may be worse offenders than Wi-Fi routers. EMFs are likened to pollution : invisible, everywhere, and cumulative in their effects over time. Arthur emphasizes reducing exposure , especially during sleep (1/3 of your life!), as a powerful first step. His top free or low-cost tips: Put your phone on airplane mode or keep it out of the bedroom at night. Turn off your Wi-Fi router overnight (via timer plug if necessary). Avoid sleeping with wearables like WHOOP or smartwatches. Keep devices off your body when not in use. Use EMF meters (offered by HAVN) to detect high-emission areas in your home. Arthur developed HAVN Clothing (spelled HAVN, removing “EMF” from “haven”) to shield essential organs from EMF without compromising modern life. Their proprietary WaveStopper fabric blocks 99.7% of EMFs (400 MHz–40 GHz) using silver fiber mesh . Available products include: Pajamas Underwear Hats and beanies Gaiters for thyroid Blankets Hoodies for travel These are particularly helpful for people living in apartments or dense urban environments where community EMF exposure is high. For beginners, Arthur recommends starting with headwear, underwear, and sleepwear to protect the most vulnerable organs during sleep.

Food strategy : Keto-focused but include carb refeeds midweek (e.g., half a baked potato) for hormonal balance. Include organ meats via jerky (beef liver & heart) to avoid cooking them. Avoid high-oxalate vegetables (e.g., spinach, kale), favor raw organic produce. Dinner includes variety: ground turkey, wild salmon, corn tortillas, guacamole, eggs, and gut-healthy snacks like pumpkin seeds and cashews . You prioritize blood glucose and insulin control by: Eating fiber and protein first, carbs last. Using psyllium husk before meals (working to upgrade to a mix of soluble and insoluble fiber based on recent podcast guest advice). Gym workouts (Mon/Wed/Fri) : Full-body sessions using time under tension training (5–10 second reps, slower tempo). Prioritize joint safety and mind-muscle connection. Off days (Tues/Thurs/weekends) : Wear Hyperwear weight vest for added resistance during walks or errands. Use JumpSport rebounder for low-impact cardio and pelvic floor engagement. Skip extra modalities like yoga/boxing due to time and recovery focus. Anti-inflammatory strategy: Avoid processed foods. Take Fusionary Formulas Turmeric Gold —high in curcumin—for inflammation support (after interviewing Dr. Shah). Gut health strategy: Recently tested with Tiny Health —superior reporting over past tests. Implement daily food checklist (posted on your fridge) tailored to your unique microbiome issues. Supplements include targeted probiotics or food-based fixes (based on test results). New test goal : Improve score from 83 to 100 using personalized changes. New experiment : Red light therapy for cellular-level inflammation reduction. Optimized with: Earlier bedtime, screen curfew. Whoop tracking for HRV and recovery.

Dr. Carl Rothschild - Trifecta Light Red Light Therapy Beds www.TrifectaLight.com Youtube & Instagram: @trifectalightofficial Red Light Therapy Book! Testimonials 🎙️ Episode Summary: The Healing Power of Red Light Therapy with Dr. Carl Rothschild Dr. Carl Rothschild, a chiropractor since 1978, shares his journey into the world of healing, starting from a rebellious, purpose-driven college student in the 1970s to becoming a pioneer in red light therapy. Originally skeptical of chiropractic in New York, he discovered his passion through cold calls to practicing chiropractors and eventually became a strong advocate for non-invasive, natural healing. Introduction to the tech: Dr. Carl was introduced to red light therapy by an orthopedic surgeon in the 1990s who handed him a “flashlight-like” device. Though unconventional at the time, it produced astonishing healing results in his chiropractic practice. From Class I to Class IV devices: Over time, the technology improved, culminating in the development of full-body red light therapy beds. Dr. Carl's commitment: Inspired by its potential, he transitioned from practitioner to manufacturer, developing the Trifecta Light Bed , now in its 5th generation. Red light (not near-infrared) temporarily increases the permeability of fat cell walls, allowing fat to leak out for elimination—without damaging the cells. Results are amplified with whole-body vibration therapy immediately after sessions to improve lymphatic drainage and fat transport. Caveat: It's not a miracle solution unless paired with a smart lifestyle. Red light therapy is a catalyst , not a crutch. Dr. Carl shared jaw-dropping examples of transformation: A man having heart attacks 1–2 times a week for years stopped having them entirely after just five minutes of red light treatment . A patient with genetic vision loss halted the progression of blindness. Parkinson’s patients experiencing reduced tremors after six sessions. Cases of kidney failure, Crohn’s disease, MS, Lyme disease , and psoriasis saw major relief or remission.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Cheryl Sew Hoy - CEO of "Tiny Health" www.TinyHealth.com Socials: @Tiny.Heatlh Podcast Summary: Brad Williams (Over 40 Fitness Hacks) welcomed Cheryl, founder of Tiny Health, after first learning about her company through Crowd Health. Brad shared his personal journey with gut testing, food allergies, and how microbiome awareness changed his approach to health. He also mentioned his recent Tiny Health score of 82/100, which outperformed his family’s results. Cheryl (age 42, mom of three) founded Tiny Health after her first child, born via C-section, developed eczema and food allergies linked to disrupted microbiome colonization. Determined to prevent the same issues, she researched microbiome science and saw improved outcomes with her next two children (both vaginal births, no allergies). Tiny Health began with a focus on baby gut health but was always designed to expand into longevity and adult health , supporting people through all stages of life. Today, Tiny Health powers gut testing not only for families but also for longevity clinics, health assessment companies, and even the Mayo Clinic. Microbiome Importance: 80% of the immune system is housed in the gut. Early life gut balance impacts long-term immune strength, allergy risk, metabolic health, and autoimmune conditions. Technology Advantage: Traditional stool tests (PCR) only detect targeted pathogens, while Tiny Health uses metagenomic sequencing to capture a complete, functional view of the microbiome, including beneficial bacteria and pathways. Scoring & Metrics: Results include overall gut scores, resilience scores, antibiotic resistance, and insights into digestion, immune function, and hormone regulation. Supplements vs. Food: Supplements can help correct imbalances short-term, but lasting gut health requires prebiotic fibers and diverse whole foods. Fermented foods and polyphenol-rich foods (like berries) boost diversity and resilience. Leaky Gut Explained: The gut lining acts like a castle wall; without enough butyrate (produced by fiber-digesting bacteria), food particles and pathogens can cross, triggering immune responses and food sensitivities. Resilience & Recovery: Antibiotics, infections, or travel (“Bali belly”) can disrupt the microbiome for months or longer. Retesting 4–6 weeks after such events helps measure recovery. Aging Microbiome: After 40, resilience decreases, making gut testing and diet/lifestyle adjustments more important. Red Meat & Alcohol: Red meat isn’t inherently bad, but must be balanced with fiber to prevent protein fermentation issues. Alcohol negatively impacts gut health and sleep, but moderation and timing can help reduce effects.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Podcast Summary – Brad Williams, Over 40 Fitness Hacks In this solo episode, Brad shares his updated longevity strategy —a refined, sustainable approach to health, fitness, and biohacking for those over 40. He starts by inviting listeners to join his SKOOL community , where he hosts Q&A sessions, offers free personal training, and fosters discussions on lean body goals, overall health, and low-level biohacking. Training Approach: 3x/week strength training using time-under-tension techniques (5–10 sec reps) with reduced weight to protect joints and spine while still building muscle. 1x/week HIIT on a rebounder with a weight vest, resistance bands, dumbbells, and an oxygen-deprivation mask (30 sec on/30 sec rest). Daily walks —now upgrading all to weighted vest walks, increasing from 1.5 to 2 miles , six days a week for bone density, mitochondrial health, insulin sensitivity, and fat metabolism. 1x/week incline ruck hike with a heavier 20-lb vest to boost mitochondrial stress adaptation. Mobility & core sessions twice weekly, plus injury-prevention work and isometric finishers using a Power Plate for lymphatic drainage and bone density. Seasonal cold plunges and even “gaming while rebounding” to make movement fun and consistent. Lifestyle & Nutrition: Follows a Monday–Friday clean eating plan, allowing social indulgences on weekends. Uses Whoop for calorie burn tracking and Cronometer for nutrition logging, adjusting intake based on activity. Maintains ~186 lbs and ~12% body fat without extreme measures, but aims for 180 lbs and single-digit body fat without sacrificing social life. Gut Health Focus: Completed advanced microbiome testing with Tiny Health , scoring an impressive 83/100 (average American ~60). Implemented tailored probiotic choices, increased starch intake, and specific food/spice lists for himself, his wife, and daughter—posted visibly at home for accountability. Prefers food-based fixes over supplements for microbiome optimization. Biohacking & Supplements: Matcha Green Tea (EGCG) for antioxidant support and potential cholesterol reduction. Concrete Creatine HCL for improved strength, ATP recycling, cognitive benefits, and reduced bloating/GI issues compared to monohydrate. Brad emphasizes tracking, personalization, and sustainability as key to longevity—avoiding burnout, keeping workouts efficient, and integrating fun ways to stay active while still enjoying life.

Dr. Eric - PrimeX - Muscle Medicine Website: www.drericprimex.com Instagram: @drericfate Podcast: Relentless Vitality 🎙️ Episode Summary: Brad Williams x Dr. Eric (PrimeX) In this episode, Brad Williams interviews Dr. Eric , founder of PrimeX and former ER physician turned health and performance optimization expert . Together, they dive deep into building muscle, hormone health, peptides, and the foundations of long-term vitality—especially for those over 40. Former ER director turned preventative health practitioner. Focuses on "muscle medicine" —viewing muscle as the organ of longevity . Uses a blend of hormone optimization, peptides, cellular medicine , and lifestyle strategies to help clients improve physical, mental, and sexual performance. Clean eating (high-protein, low-processed foods) Intermittent fasting for autophagy Strength training with a mind-muscle connection Sleep, mental health, and circadian rhythm regulation Grounding, sun exposure, and quantum biology 💡 Quote: “Supplements and peptides are just icing. Lifestyle is the cake.” More people—even in their 30s—are presenting hormone deficiencies. Stress, toxins, lack of movement, and nutrient-depleted soil all play a role. Symptoms matter more than lab numbers alone. Tracking total testosterone and free testosterone , symptoms, and trends over time is key. Hormone therapy may be the next step once lifestyle and natural interventions are maxed out. Peptides are gaining traction for performance, fat loss, recovery, and anti-aging. Must be used strategically and often in tandem with hormone optimization for best results. Dr. Eric’s approach is layered: lifestyle → hormones → peptides → targeted supplements. Dr. Eric and Brad both noted benefits from structured/vortexed water (including improved HRV). Emphasized movement, gratitude, and sunlight exposure as free ways to "charge" your health. Brad shares how he uses low-carb and fasting protocols during the week to offset social indulgences on weekends. Dr. Eric suggests more balanced or strategic carb "refeeds" (e.g., midweek) to support hormones like leptin and avoid libido crashes or fatigue.

Rick Olderman - Physical Therapist New Book: Pain Patterns Website: www.RickOlderman.com Topic: Chronic Pain, Frozen Shoulder, Neck Issues, and Practical Self-Fixes Guest: Rick Olderman, PT with 30 years of experience and author of Pain Patterns 🔧 Systems-Based Approach to Pain: Rick explains how traditional PT often fails chronic pain patients due to "component thinking. His systems-based method looks at how seemingly unrelated areas (like feet or hips) can cause pain elsewhere in the body (like the neck or lower back). Most spinal pain is driven by lower body dysfunction , particularly faulty movement patterns. 🦴 Brad's Updates & Takeaways: Brad shares progress with his L5-S1 herniated disc recovery—Rick's advice (e.g., walking with bent knees, quad-focused stretching) has helped tremendously. A reminder: simple habits like not locking your knees while walking can reduce chronic issues. 1. Frozen Shoulder: Early stages: not much can be done—let it run its course. Later stages (6+ months): Class 4 laser therapy has shown success by promoting nitric oxide release, which relaxes fascia and improves motion. Key issue: scapular movement is often ignored. True recovery requires restoring scapular mobility , not just shoulder ROM. 2. Chest Pain (Costochondritis/Tietze Syndrome): Often misdiagnosed or unexplained. If pain persists beyond a few weeks, suspect mechanical causes —like a tight pectoralis minor or asymmetries in the rib cage . Pain might stem from old shoulder or pelvic issues pulling on rib attachments. 3. Shoulder/Neck Pain on the Opposite Side: Peculiar but likely related to levator scapula tension pulling on cervical vertebrae. Dysfunctional scapular movement on one side can cause pain on the opposite side due to compensations. Stretching and scapular realignment often reduce symptoms quickly. 4. Chronic Neck Pain & Headaches: Almost always traced back to scapular dysfunction , not just upper neck or trap muscles. Self-treatment: simple positional exercises like child’s pose to relieve depressed scapula. Consistency and correct technique matter more than quantity of exercises.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! 🎙️ Podcast Summary: Breaking Another Weight Loss Plateau In this episode, Brad Williams dives into his latest weight loss plateau challenge after returning from a 4-day vacation in Palm Springs . Despite sticking to his usual workouts and walking routine, Brad noticed a significant drop in his daily calorie burn —going from a consistent 2,600–3,200 range down to under 2,200, according to his Whoop tracker . Brad used ChatGPT as a sounding board to troubleshoot the issue and uncovered several likely causes: Post-vacation stress from alcohol, poor sleep, and inflammation. Loss of glutathione supplementation , which previously boosted his metabolism and HRV (heart rate variability). Possible thyroid downregulation and lowered BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) due to stress. Compounding effects from four consecutive days of alcohol and junk food, which his body couldn't recover from as quickly as a typical weekend. Even after resuming clean eating and workouts, Brad's HRV remained suppressed , and his calorie expenditure stayed low . He suspects a combination of heat exposure , liver detox backlog , and sympathetic nervous system dominance may have extended his recovery. Recovery from extended stress (even moderate drinking) can take 7–10+ days. Your body adapts to short-term stress, but not always to extended ones. Fitness trackers aren’t perfect , but their trends are powerful biofeedback tools. ChatGPT and data analysis can reveal deeper insights like thyroid suppression that might not be immediately obvious. Prioritize sleep , hydration , electrolytes , and zone 2 cardio . Track calorie burn daily and adjust food intake to match. Stay patient and avoid overcorrecting with extreme workouts. Use tools like Whoop for trend tracking—even if the exact numbers aren't perfect.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! In this episode, Brad Williams, host of Over 40 Fitness Hacks , reflects on his top fitness wins over the last 15+ years as a gym owner, trainer, and health podcaster. From launching Evolve Gym in 2011 to adopting biohacking protocols in his 40s, Brad walks listeners through the most impactful strategies that helped him stay lean, healthy, and mentally sharp—especially after turning 40. Circuit Training : His gyms focused on circuit-style workouts—mixing strength and cardio—which kept clients (and himself) lean and athletic with efficient time use. Time Under Tension (TUT) : Inspired by SmartFi Method, Brad discovered that slowing exercises down for muscle tension was just as effective as heavy lifting with less joint strain. "Less is More" Approach : He now trains smarter—not harder—by focusing on minimal effective doses of exercise that reduce injury risk and improve recovery. Keto & Low-Carb Paleo : After testing all major diets, keto gave him the best results for mental clarity, fat loss, and managing depression—especially through insulin control. Intermittent & Extended Fasting : Combining low-carb with intermittent fasting (and 36-hour fasts monthly) led to dramatic improvements in blood markers, insulin sensitivity, and visceral fat reduction. Liver Health : After a naturopathic consultation, Brad targeted liver repair with Pure Health supplements, which reversed signs of liver stress and flattened his stubborn upper belly fat. SmartFi Machines : Used AI-powered resistance equipment to measure performance and discovered he could achieve major gains with just 1–2 intense workouts weekly. Supplements That Worked : Magnesium Breakthrough (BioOptimizers) : The only supplement that significantly lowered his high blood pressure. Lifewave Patches : Helped heal a SLAP tear in his shoulder and improved his glutathione levels, boosting energy and recovery. Tiny Health Gut Testing : Revealed and helped resolve gut imbalances and food sensitivities like gluten and eggs, reducing inflammation and digestive issues. Brad highlights his free SKOOL community for people over 40, offering personal training advice, Q&As, and collaboration with health experts.

Together, they explore the world of peptides , discussing what they are, how they work, and why they could be the missing link in your weight loss, recovery, and longevity game over 40. What Are Peptides? Chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body. Your body naturally produces peptides—like insulin—but modern science can now identify and supplement bioactive peptides (those that signal specific biological functions like fat burning, energy production, and muscle growth). Why Peptides Matter Over 40 As we age, the body’s ability to produce essential peptides and perform key functions (e.g., metabolism, muscle repair, liver detox) declines. Supplementing smartly with targeted peptides could help fill in these performance and health gaps. Michelle's Personal Experience Michelle shares her extremely low leptin levels (a hormone responsible for satiety), validating her lifelong struggle with constant hunger—despite following a clean, high-protein lifestyle. Using peptide-based supplements (specifically from a company called Make Wellness ), she reports improved appetite regulation , fat loss , energy , and recovery , especially from their Fit and Lean products. Make Wellness & AI-Powered Peptides Make Wellness formulates AI-driven, plant-based peptide supplements . Their unique delivery matrix helps peptides survive digestion and reach target systems (e.g., muscle, metabolism, brain).

Conrad Sanchez - EMS Personal Trainer www.conrademsfitness.com Socials: @conradfitness In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams speaks with Conrad Sanchez of Conrad Fitness , a seasoned trainer with over six years of experience in whole-body EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) . They dive deep into EMS technology, its effectiveness, and its suitability for busy professionals, injured clients, and anyone looking for efficient, low-impact strength training . Conrad’s Background : A 15-year personal trainer, Conrad discovered EMS through an investor aiming to bring the technology from Brazil to the U.S. He became an educator for XBody and has since trained clients ranging from diabetics to busy moms to executives. What is EMS? EMS involves wearing a suit with electrodes that stimulate all major muscle groups. It delivers 85 Hz with a 350 pulse width , simulating 1.5–2 hours of weightlifting in a 20-minute session . It targets type II muscle fibers immediately—great for building strength fast. Benefits of EMS : Increases strength and muscle recruitment Improves body composition (as measured by calipers and circumference) Low joint impact makes it ideal for people with injuries or limited range of motion Can improve VO2 max and HRV, though results vary EMS vs. Traditional Training : EMS is ideal for efficient strength training , especially when time is limited. While some attempt to pair it with yoga, biking, or other activities, Conrad recommends focusing on strength sessions for best results. Limitations and Misconceptions : EMS isn’t magic—you can’t out-train a bad diet Not ideal for targeting muscles like calves or forearms due to fiber type and risk of over-tightening Consumer suits are simplified and not as customizable; education is essential to avoid misuse and injury Safety Warning : Brad and Conrad discuss EMS misuse cases, including a person who overdid it during a bootcamp and suffered rhabdomyolysis and temporary kidney issues—underscoring the need for proper guidance . Business Opportunities : Conrad offers: In-person EMS sessions in LA Virtual and in-person workshops for trainers Business consulting for gyms adding EMS services Trainer education across the U.S., aiming to build a trusted national EMS trainer network EMS can be a game-changer for strength training , especially for those over 40 looking for maximum efficiency with minimal wear and tear . Conrad encourages anyone interested—whether clients or fitness pros—to reach out for education or training.

A One-Year Gut Test Comparison and What I Learned Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group! Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! In this episode, Brad Williams shares his personal journey of improving gut health over the last year using two microbiome tests — one from Diagnostic Solutions and the more recent one from Tiny Health . Last Year’s Issue: Brad was dealing with an H. pylori infection caused by food poisoning. Instead of using antibiotics, he chose a natural healing path using supplements , which successfully eliminated the infection and resolved multiple food allergies (including chicken, egg, beef, shrimp, and gluten). His severe milk protein allergy remained, however. First Gut Test Insights: The Diagnostic Solutions report showed high levels of two key bacterial phyla — Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes . These are essential for digesting protein, carbs, and fiber , but Brad’s high levels indicated dysfunction. Despite using digestive enzymes, he was likely not efficiently digesting protein or fermenting fiber . Second Gut Test - Tiny Health: A much more comprehensive 29-page report rated his gut at 83 out of 100 , showing overall improvement , especially in protein and carb digestion . However, fiber fermentation issues persisted , particularly with Bacteroides-related bacteria. Brad has scheduled a consult with Tiny Health but got early insights using ChatGPT. Approach & Solutions: Brad considered both supplemental and food-based protocols. For a keto-friendly gut repair , he opted for the food route due to the high cost of supplements and only a minor time advantage. He incorporated specific foods like leeks, asparagus, raw potato starch, green banana flour , and polyphenol-rich foods (berries, dark chocolate, cabbage, green tea). Due to carb restrictions, he skipped beans/lentils and added a targeted prebiotic supplement (GOS powder) to address his fiber fermentation issue. Key Takeaway: Brad emphasizes the importance of testing before supplementing — noting that generic probiotics can do more harm than good if not tailored. His results show how food-based interventions, when guided by personalized data, can significantly improve gut health and resolve long-standing food sensitivities .

He introduces his audience to Andy Schoonover, founder of Crowd Health , as a powerful alternative he's personally adopted. Andy shares the origin story of Crowd Health, born from his own bad experience with insurance when he was forced to pay $8,000 out-of-pocket for a medically denied but necessary procedure for his daughter. Frustrated with the system, he created a peer-to-peer medical crowdfunding platform that empowers members to pay for care directly—at significantly reduced rates. How Crowd Health works: Members pay a monthly fee plus a capped contribution to help others. Each medical event has a $500 member responsibility, with the rest crowdfunded (99.8% success rate). Cost Comparison: Brad switched from paying $1,400/month with a $5,000 deductible to under $600/month max with Crowd Health for his family of three. Cash Pay System Advantage: Members become “cash payers,” avoiding inflated insurance prices and benefiting from Crowd Health’s provider negotiations (often saving 40–50%). Personal Experience: Brad’s family visits, prescriptions, and pediatric care were all covered quickly (within 8 days) and cheaper than through insurance or prior health share programs Community-Based Funding: Big-ticket medical events (e.g., a $1M gunshot injury case) were successfully funded after negotiation brought costs way down.

David Amerland: Built To Last Book www.DavidAmerland.com Social: @davidamerland In this episode, Brad Williams interviews David Amerland , a 60-year-old fitness enthusiast, black belt martial artist, and author of Built to Last . David shares insights from his 47-year personal fitness journey and breaks down the psychological and emotional components of sustaining health and vitality as we age. Key Highlights: David’s Backstory : Martial arts became his mental and emotional anchor from age 13. Despite building a career as a chemical engineer and bestselling author of 19 books, fitness has always remained his personal sanctuary. Why We Don’t Stay Fit : Built on three years of research, Built to Last explores why people struggle to stay active despite knowing the benefits. Evolutionary biology hardwires us to conserve energy, and modern life rarely requires movement—making exercise feel unnecessary or stressful. Mindset is the Key : David emphasizes that fitness isn’t just a physical pursuit—it’s an identity shift. When we emotionally connect with our future self and envision who we want to be in 20 years, we’re more likely to act now. This is critical to overcoming procrastination and excuses. Small Wins Matter : Even one minute of intentional exercise (like 30 squats or 10 pushups) can trigger neurochemical benefits similar to longer sessions. Consistency, not duration, drives transformation. Fitness Hacks David Wishes He Knew Sooner : Breathwork : Conscious breathing to calm the nervous system and manage stress. Sleep : Its profound impact on longevity and mental health. Recovery : Gentler, more intentional training—especially with age—is smarter and more sustainable than going full throttle. Built to Last Framework Begins with defining what fitness means to you . Contains customizable workouts for all ages and fitness levels. Designed to make fitness fit your life , not the other way around. Cultural Trends : The two generations most responsive to fitness due to environmental stress? Baby Boomers and Gen Z. Brad and David discuss Gen Z’s positive shift toward health, wellness, and mental health ownership. Final Message : It’s never too late to start. Whether you’re 40, 60, or 70+, consistent effort—even in small doses—will transform your body, mind, and future.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Podcast Summary: “How to Fix Binge Eating and Drinking – Real Talk Over 40” In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks , Brad Williams dives into the common struggles many face with binge eating and alcohol , particularly for those navigating health and lifestyle goals after 40. Speaking from both personal experience and years of coaching clients, Brad offers practical strategies to help regain control without sacrificing your social life. Why Bingeing Happens Bingeing often stems from emotional triggers, restrictive dieting patterns, and social habits. Brad explains that the feeling of “nothing feels as good as bingeing” is more common than most admit. While some binge on food and others on alcohol, the root issues often overlap. For deeper emotional causes, he recommends seeking professional support. Top Three Strategies to Reduce Food Bingeing Stabilize Blood Sugar with Protein and Fiber Start meals with psyllium husk, followed by protein and healthy fats. Choose low-glycemic carbohydrates like quinoa, brown rice, or whole grains to avoid sharp insulin spikes that lead to cravings. This approach keeps you fuller longer and less likely to overeat. Avoid the Restrict-Binge Cycle Don’t punish yourself after a binge by skipping meals or drastically cutting calories. This slows your metabolism and sets you up for another binge. Instead, eat a normal or slightly reduced calorie intake the next day and focus on balance. Interrupt Your Binge Triggers Recognize what patterns lead to bingeing—whether it’s late-night boredom, stress, or habit. Replace those routines with simple actions like taking a walk after meals, drinking tea, chewing gum, or preparing healthy snacks ahead of time. Top Three Strategies to Curb Alcohol Bingeing Create a Weekend Game Plan Plan your drinking for later in the day. Start with a healthy breakfast or protein shake, then fast until the social event. Use non-alcoholic drinks between alcoholic ones to cut down total intake. This alone can significantly reduce alcohol consumption. Eat a Protein-Rich Meal Before Drinking Eating before drinking slows absorption and helps avoid mindless snacking later. Brad often eats before going out so he’s not overly hungry when ordering at restaurants or parties, which also saves money and calories. Identify the Emotional Root of Your Drinking Use journaling to understand why you drink. Is it for stress relief, social bonding, or just habit? Finding healthier replacements like CBD, adaptogenic drinks, or non-alcoholic alternatives can support long-term change. Additional Tips Bring your own healthy snacks or proteins to parties or events. Prepare mocktails or low-calorie drinks in advance. Stay hydrated and include electrolytes when consuming alcohol. 00:00 Introduction: The Struggle with Bingeing 00:37 Understanding Bingeing: Food and Alcohol 01:08 Practical Tips for Managing Binge Eating 03:45 Breaking the Binge-Restrict Cycle 04:34 Identifying and Breaking Triggers 05:41 Top Strategies for Alcohol Bingeing 10:43 Final Thoughts and Community Support If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Additionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV…

Dr. Mike Belkowski - BioLight Red Light Report Podcast www.BioLight.com Light Irradation Calculator: Social: @Dr.MikeBelkowski In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks , Brad Williams interviews Dr. Mike Belkowski, the founder of BioLite, about the health benefits of red light therapy. Dr. Mike shares his journey into physical therapy and how dissatisfaction with the traditional medical system led him to explore alternative treatments like dry needling, cupping, blood flow restriction, and eventually red light therapy. He explains the science behind red light therapy, emphasizing its ability to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and boost mitochondrial health. Red light and near-infrared light both penetrate the body to stimulate energy production in mitochondria, which is key for overall health. Dr. Mike also touches on the importance of proper dosage, revealing that many popular red light therapy devices don’t provide accurate power measurements, which can lead to ineffective treatments. The conversation dives into practical considerations, such as how red light therapy can improve skin health, treat pain, and even enhance cognitive function. Dr. Mike highlights the difference between using red light therapy for surface-level treatments (like skin) versus deeper tissues (like the brain and joints), and offers guidance on choosing the right devices depending on personal needs. He also addresses common misconceptions, such as the idea that more red light therapy is always better. Brad and Dr. Mike wrap up by discussing BioLite’s products, including portable devices and more extensive full-body panels, and how users can incorporate red light therapy into their daily routines. Dr. Mike introduces his "protocol ecosystem," a free tool on the BioLite website that helps users determine the optimal duration for their red light therapy sessions based on the device’s light irradiance and the condition being treated. Overall, the episode provides a thorough and engaging discussion about the science and practical applications of red light therapy, focusing on its potential to boost mitochondrial health, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks , Brad Williams shares how he uses ChatGPT to prepare for podcast interviews, especially when tackling advanced biohacking topics outside his expertise. Brad describes how ChatGPT helps him deep-dive into complex science — like the role of peptides — by explaining it in simple, digestible terms that fit his learning style. He discusses how he used ChatGPT to understand peptides better before hosting a future guest from a peptide supplement company. Brad explains key concepts he learned, such as how proteins break down into peptides and amino acids, the challenges with peptide supplement absorption, and the importance of bioactive peptides that act as signaling molecules. Through ChatGPT, Brad discovered why standard oral peptide supplements often fail (due to digestion breaking them down) and explored better delivery methods like liposomal encapsulation, transdermal patches, and sprays. He also dives into why companies are exploring plant-based peptides for broader appeal, better tolerance, and sustainability, despite animal-derived peptides potentially being closer to human biology. Finally, Brad reflects on bigger questions about influencing the body’s use of peptides and how future technologies like neurofeedback, brain-computer interfaces, and real-time peptide monitoring might one day allow humans to optimize these biological processes more directly. Brad teases a future episode where he’ll show how ChatGPT also helped him refine his personal eating strategy.

Juraj Kocar - WYSE Earth Supplements www.WyseEarth.com 🎙️ Episode Summary – Over 40 Fitness Hacks x WYSE Earth In this episode, Brad Williams chats with Juraj Kocar , wellness entrepreneur and co-founder of WYSE Earth , about his personal health journey and how it led to creating adaptogenic mushroom-infused products designed to combat inflammation and support overall wellness. 🔹 Juraj’s Transformation Story: Juraj opened up about his early health struggles in his 20s—weight gain, high blood pressure, brain fog, and more—due to a poor lifestyle. Traditional medicine prescribed lifelong medications, but Juraj took matters into his own hands. By radically changing his diet and lifestyle, all of his symptoms vanished in less than six months, sparking his passion for holistic wellness. 🔹 Birth of WYSE Earth: After founding a frequency therapy company, Juraj became deeply fascinated by adaptogenic mushrooms —natural inflammation fighters that support homeostasis. A chance meeting with a business partner led him to WYSE Earth , which combines these mushrooms with organic European honey for a potent, delicious delivery system. 🔹 Why Adaptogenic Mushrooms? Non-toxic and safe for daily use Bi-directional effects (calm or energize as needed) Work systemically on inflammation, rather than targeting symptoms WYSE Earth’s mushroom blends are crafted by Traditional Chinese Medicine experts and use only high-potency fruiting bodies with a 25:1 extract ratio —far superior to industry norms. 🔹 Flagship Products: Longevity – Full-spectrum immune and inflammation support Detox – Supports cleansing of toxins and parasites Heart Flow – Cardiovascular health Power – Energy, performance, and libido support New product lines are coming soon, including one focused on women’s hormonal health and a mainstream adaptogenic chocolate. 🔹 Keto & Sugar Concerns: Each jar lasts about 3 months with one spoonful per day. Juraj reassures keto and low-carb listeners: the natural sugars in honey are complex and can be timed with meals to minimize blood sugar spikes. 🔹 Brad’s Takeaways: Brad relates with Juraj’s journey, emphasizing the importance of synergy across habits —sleep, fasting, mindful eating, and trying natural products. He’s eager to integrate WYSE Earth’s honey into his own wellness routine.

Atavia Minoudis - Gut Reactions Podcast Instagram: @Atavia.Minoudis In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams interviews Atavia Minoudis, a nutritional therapist specializing in gut health, particularly IBS. Atavia shares her personal journey with IBS, which led her to pursue a career in nutritional therapy after experiencing the frustration of being misdiagnosed and not receiving clear answers. She explains that IBS is an umbrella term encompassing various gut issues, and the root causes can be diverse, including imbalances in the gut microbiome, food sensitivities, leaky gut, and stress. Atavia highlights the importance of gut health, noting that factors like stress, poor diet, medications, and environmental toxins can damage the gut, leading to issues like leaky gut. This condition causes food particles to leak into the bloodstream, triggering immune responses and food allergies. She also discusses how stress plays a major role in gut health, as chronic stress can lead to inflammation and disrupt gut bacteria, exacerbating symptoms. The conversation shifts to the vagus nerve, which plays a crucial role in calming the nervous system. Atavia emphasizes the need to strengthen vagal tone through practices like humming, singing, yoga, and deep breathing. These activities can activate the vagus nerve, helping to reduce stress and improve gut health over time. Brad relates to the topic by sharing his experience with diaphragmatic breathing to manage stress and lower back pain post-surgery. The episode underscores the significance of managing stress for overall health, particularly as we age, and provides practical tips for improving gut health and calming the nervous system. 00:00 Introduction to Gut Health and Vagus Nerve 00:19 Podcast Updates and Upcoming Guests 01:25 Interview with Octavia Moon Begins 02:06 Octavia's Background and Personal Journey with IBS 03:41 Understanding IBS and Gut Health 07:53 The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Gut Health 09:18 Practical Tips for Calming the Vagus Nerve 12:28 Mindset and Lifestyle Changes for IBS Management 14:09 Testing and Probiotics for IBS 20:25 Final Thoughts and Contact Information If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Additionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV…

In this episode, Brad dives into a lively conversation sparked in his school community group about the many forms of hydration. From purified and distilled water to electrolyte, hydrogen, and structured water, the group explored it all. The discussion was kicked off by the rising popularity of LMNT (Element) Hydration , a product promoting higher sodium intake—especially for athletes who sweat heavily. Brad breaks down the concerns and benefits around sodium and potassium balance, highlighting the common misconception that sodium is always harmful. He compares LMNT to other electrolyte products like Athletes for Athletes , which uses pink Himalayan salt for added trace minerals, and Dr. Berg's Electrolyte Powder , which flips the script with higher potassium and low sodium . Brad cautions listeners about the potential dangers of mismanaging potassium intake, including the risk of cardiac issues, and emphasizes checking with a doctor before using such supplements. His key takeaway: 💧 Hydration isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your ideal electrolyte balance depends on your activity level, sweat output, and overall diet. Always consult a healthcare provider before making big changes.

Dr. Pojednic discusses the critical role of muscle in longevity, the challenges of maintaining muscle mass as we age, and how strength training, recovery, and proper nutrition can counteract sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). She emphasizes that while aerobic exercise has traditionally been prioritized, resistance training is essential for metabolic health and functional strength as we get older. Dr. Pojednic explains that muscle loss begins as early as age 30, with hormonal shifts in both men and women contributing to the decline. However, strategic training—focusing on strength, power, and VO2 max—along with adequate recovery, can slow this process. Brad shares his personal approach to maintaining fitness over 40, including circuit training, HIIT on a rebounder, and daily brisk walking for Zone 2 cardio. Dr. Pojednic affirms the importance of varying exercise intensity and incorporating different modalities throughout the week. They also discuss how recovery is just as crucial as training, highlighting the need for proper rest to prevent injuries. Dr. Pojednic notes that today’s wellness industry is bridging the gap between science and real-world application through therapies like infrared saunas, red light therapy, and IV micronutrient treatments. The conversation sets the stage for a deeper dive into supplementation and other biohacking strategies to enhance muscle growth and performance efficiently.

Dr. Shay introduces five key categories of functional testing : Hormone Testing – Covers adrenal health, sex hormones, and thyroid function. He highlights the Dutch Test for hormone balance and the Cortisol Awakening Response Test for stress resilience. Gut Testing – Includes comprehensive stool analysis (GI Map, Genova GI Effects) to detect infections, inflammation, and gut flora imbalances, as well as SIBO and food intolerance testing. Nutrient & Metabolic Testing – Assesses deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and mitochondrial function. Toxin & Heavy Metal Testing – Identifies exposure to mold, chemicals, and environmental toxins. Genetic Testing – Helps personalize nutrition and lifestyle choices based on DNA markers. Dr. Shay stresses that testing saves time and money by eliminating guesswork with supplements and trendy health fads. He also shares insights on how to properly measure blood pressure at home and why gut healing should come before food sensitivity testing .

Dr. Bauman shares his journey into the field of hair restoration, which started with a fascination for plastic surgery and aesthetics before he discovered the transformative power of modern hair transplants. Dr. Bauman explains how hair transplant techniques have evolved from outdated, pluggy-looking procedures to today’s refined, natural-looking follicular unit transplants. He discusses corrective procedures for those who had older methods done and emphasizes that hair restoration is as much an art as it is a science. His clinic, now a 13,000-square-foot "hair hospital," has treated over 35,000 patients and performed more than 14,000 transplants. Brad and Dr. Bauman also dive into preventive and holistic approaches to hair loss. They discuss treatments like finasteride (Propecia), minoxidil, and DHT-blocking shampoos, as well as the impact of genetics and hormonal balance on hair health. Brad shares his own experience with Propecia, which successfully halted his hair loss but may have affected his body’s natural DHT-related functions, including facial and body hair growth. Dr. Bauman highlights that hair loss treatment is highly individualized. Genetic testing can determine a person's response to minoxidil, and alternative treatments—such as oral minoxidil, PRP therapy, or even beard and body hair transplants—may be viable options. The conversation underscores the importance of proactive care, as addressing hair loss early can prevent the need for transplants later. Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into modern hair restoration, debunking myths and offering hope for those worried about hair loss, whether they’re seeking prevention or a full restoration solution.

Core stabilization exercises like planks were highlighted as more effective and spine-friendly than traditional ab workouts. Detoxifying agents such as zeolite and bentonite clay were explored, with an emphasis on their potential benefits and the importance of further research, particularly regarding zeolite’s ability to bind microplastics. Experimental supplements like methylene blue were met with skepticism due to the lack of solid research and concerning anecdotal cases. When discussing muscle-building strategies, the focus was on functional fitness and moderation rather than excessive aesthetics. While different chest exercises can offer slight improvements, overall strength and longevity should take precedence. Essential amino acids were recommended over BCAAs for fasting and muscle retention, though artificial sweeteners in supplements were noted as a downside. Drawing from years of experience running gyms, the stigma around steroid use in trainers was acknowledged, along with the unrealistic expectations it creates for clients. Practical nutrition strategies, such as using oil sprayers for portion control, were highlighted as simple yet effective methods for managing calorie intake. Resistance training recommendations prioritized controlled, slow-tempo movements for joint longevity rather than explosive exercises designed for professional athletes.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Podcast Summary: Is Your Metabolism Over 40 Really the Problem? In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks , Brad Williams debunks the myth that metabolism is the main reason weight loss becomes difficult after 40. He explains that while metabolism slows slightly with age, the real culprits are lifestyle changes, accumulated toxicity from years of poor diet choices, and a shift in daily activity levels. Brad shares his personal experience of struggling with weight loss after 38, despite being a personal trainer for over 15 years. He emphasizes that small, strategic changes can have a huge impact without giving up social life. Key takeaways include: Meal Timing Matters – Condense meals into 30-minute windows to minimize insulin spikes. No Snacking – Avoid snacking between meals to keep fat oxidation active. Fast Before Fat-Burning Workouts – Ensure at least 1.5 hours between eating and activities like walking or jogging to optimize fat loss. Brad also introduces his new SKOOL community, a platform combining educational tutorials and a social network, where he provides fitness insights and guidance. He concludes by sharing his personal success with insulin control, intermittent fasting, and simplifying his nutrition—allowing him to lose weight while still enjoying social life.

Dr. Patel - Auro Wellness - Glutathione www.AuroWellness.com Social Media: @aurowellness In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks , host Brad Williams interviews Dr. Patel, a pharmacist with over 25 years of experience in the longevity and anti-aging space. Dr. Patel shares his journey from traditional pharmacy to functional medicine, emphasizing that pharmaceutical companies focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing root causes. This led him to explore glutathione, often called the "master antioxidant," which plays a crucial role in detoxification and cellular defense. Dr. Patel explains that glutathione is a naturally occurring peptide composed of three amino acids—cysteine, glycine, and glutamine—produced by the body to neutralize oxidative stress and support liver detoxification. However, due to aging, poor diet, alcohol consumption, and environmental toxins, natural glutathione levels decline, leading to increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and even cellular senescence (zombie cells). He highlights that while external antioxidants like vitamin C and E can help, they are not nearly as powerful as glutathione in reducing oxidative damage. The body relies on glutathione to combat free radicals, particularly oxygen and nitric oxide species, which contribute to aging and disease. Dr. Patel also discusses the importance of diet in maintaining glutathione levels, recommending foods rich in its precursor amino acids. However, after age 40, supplementation becomes necessary since the body's ability to synthesize glutathione declines. To optimize glutathione levels, Dr. Patel advises: Avoiding toxins, especially alcohol and environmental pollutants. Consuming cysteine-rich foods for natural glutathione production. Supplementing with bioavailable forms of glutathione to support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular health. Dr. Patel underscores that maintaining glutathione levels allows the body to allocate energy more efficiently, enhancing overall wellness and longevity.

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Nathan Jones - Xlear www.Xlear.com In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks , host Brad Williams interviews Nathan Jones, founder of Xlear (pronounced "Clear"), to discuss the health benefits of xylitol and its applications in nasal irrigation, oral hygiene, and overall wellness. Nathan shares how he founded Xlear after his father, a physician, discovered xylitol’s benefits in preventing ear infections in babies. Originally known for its dental benefits—reducing cavity-causing bacteria and improving oral microbiome—xylitol was later found to also help clear nasal passages and prevent respiratory infections. This discovery led to the development of Xlear’s xylitol-based nasal spray, which has been shown to improve airway volume by 20–36% within minutes, making it beneficial for athletes, people with sinus issues, and those seeking better sleep quality. Nathan explains how xylitol acts as a natural cleansing agent, enhancing the body’s ability to clear bacteria, viruses, and allergens from the nasal passages. He also highlights its role in oral health, particularly for athletes who often suffer from dry mouth and increased acidity due to heavy breathing and carbohydrate consumption during workouts. Addressing safety concerns, Nathan reassures listeners that xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in plants and even produced by the human body. He contrasts its health benefits with the harmful effects of traditional sugars and artificial sweeteners like aspartame and high-fructose corn syrup. Beyond nasal sprays, Xlear offers a full line of oral care products under its Spry brand, including toothpaste, mouthwash, gum, and mints—all designed to support dental and respiratory health. Nathan encourages athletes and health-conscious individuals to incorporate xylitol-based products into their daily routine for improved airway function, enhanced oral hygiene, and overall wellness. The conversation concludes with a discussion on xylitol’s potential benefits for weight management and metabolism, reinforcing its role as a smart sugar alternative for those over 40 looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
