In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams tackles common challenges many people face with fasting, overeating, and alcohol, sharing both personal experiences and strategies to overcome these obstacles.

Alcohol and Social Life:

Alcohol is one of the biggest hurdles for many, including Brad. The key is moderation and setting boundaries, such as reserving alcohol consumption for weekends or special occasions.
Practical tips include switching to lighter drinks, using low-calorie mixers, or exploring alternatives like CBD or adaptogenic drinks to satisfy the urge without adding empty calories.

Overeating and Sweet Tooth:

Overeating often stems from mindless eating or indulging in high-calorie snacks. Brad emphasizes prioritizing protein and fiber in meals to curb cravings and stabilize blood sugar.
For those with a sweet tooth, swapping high-sugar treats for healthier alternatives, such as Stevia-based candies or fruit with whipped cream, can help reduce calorie intake without sacrificing satisfaction.

Struggles with Fasting:

Fasting can be daunting for beginners due to hunger pangs and cravings. Brad recommends starting with intermittent fasting, reducing eating windows, and staying busy to avoid snacking.
Tools like black coffee, tea, and apple cider vinegar can suppress appetite and make fasting more manageable.

Drawing from 15 years of experience as a personal trainer, Brad offers practical solutions tailored for those over 40 who want to stay fit while enjoying their social lives. His advice includes experimenting with low-sugar or low-calorie alternatives, being mindful of meal timing, and using simple hacks to manage cravings and hunger.

Listeners are encouraged to join his Facebook group, explore his favorite fitness tracker (Whoop 4.0), and book a free 15-minute consultation to personalize their fitness journey.

This episode is packed with actionable advice to help listeners tackle these everyday struggles while maintaining balance and enjoyment in life.

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams walks listeners through his process of calculating macros using an online tool, with added insights on how to get accurate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) readings to support weight loss goals. Brad recommends the Legion Athletics macro calculator as a reliable starting point, advising listeners to carefully assess their activity levels. Misjudging this can lead to significant calorie miscalculations, causing frustration when results don't align with efforts.

Brad highlights how fitness trackers, especially the Whoop 4.0, can offer a more personalized and dynamic view of actual calorie burn, which fluctuates daily based on activity. By monitoring data from his own tracker, Brad realized that his real calorie expenditure often differs from online calculator estimates.

He suggests aiming lower on calorie intake if unsure and recommends tracking nutrition, especially Monday through Friday, to counterbalance social activities over the weekend. Brad emphasizes consistency, adjusting either calories or activity levels as needed, and remaining honest with oneself about food and drink intake—especially on weekends.

For those struggling to stay on track, Brad advises using fitness and nutrition trackers like the Chronometer and adapting daily based on personal data. The episode underscores that accurate tracking and adjustments, combined with realistic macro goals, are crucial for achieving steady progress without compromising one's social life.

In this Over 40 Fitness Hacks episode, Brad Williams interviews Dr. Manan Shah, co-founder of WYNDLY, on their innovative, patient-friendly approach to allergy treatment. Dr. Shah explains WYNDLY’s three-step telehealth process, which begins with a consultation to assess allergies, followed by customized treatment through FDA-approved sublingual tablets or allergy drops shipped to patients’ homes.

He shares that WYNDLY’s focus is to create a long-term solution to allergy symptoms, reducing or even eliminating the need for lifelong treatment. Dr. Shah emphasizes their high success rate and the convenience of continuous, remote support, allowing patients to engage in activities they previously couldn’t due to allergies.

They also discuss the importance of a holistic health approach, with Dr. Shah noting that WYNDLY often partners with other health providers to address broader wellness needs. Brad adds that he has seen significant improvements in his health since seeking specialized, holistic care and encourages listeners to explore options to enhance their well-being.

Dr. Shah shares success stories, such as a young patient now able to visit her cat-owning grandmother and an athlete whose breathing improved in high-altitude training. Both highlight the importance of proactive health choices, especially for those over 40 who want to stay active and vital. The episode concludes with Dr. Shah encouraging listeners to consider allergy testing as a step toward improved quality of life.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams interviews Dr. Manan Shah, a board-certified ENT surgeon and founder of WYNDLY, a telehealth allergy treatment startup. They discuss Dr. Shah’s journey into the world of allergy treatment, the impact of environmental allergies on health, and how WYNDLY uses telehealth to make allergy care more accessible and affordable.

Dr. Shah explains the prevalence of allergies, affecting one in four Americans, and how they can lead to issues like difficulty breathing, poor sleep, and hindered workout recovery. He shares that WYNDLY provides allergy relief through sublingual immunotherapy, which involves small daily doses of allergens under the tongue, gradually desensitizing the body. This alternative to traditional allergy shots is more convenient, especially for busy adults who can’t commit to weekly clinic visits.

They also delve into the science behind allergies, noting how genetic predisposition and lack of early exposure to nature can increase sensitivity to allergens. Dr. Shah highlights the "unified airway theory," emphasizing that nasal and respiratory health are interconnected, so treating allergies can benefit overall respiratory health, sleep quality, and reduce risks of sinus infections and asthma.

Brad and Dr. Shah also discuss how telehealth can bypass the insurance-driven barriers of traditional allergy treatment, making allergy care more streamlined and effective, especially for those over 40 aiming for optimal health.

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams reviews Cronometer, a nutrition-tracking app that provides detailed insights into vitamin and mineral intake. Brad explains his interest in the app due to its precise tracking of micronutrients, which makes it easy to identify any nutritional deficiencies. He appreciates how Cronometer allows users to log food, scan barcodes, and review nutrient levels, making it easier to make adjustments either through diet or supplementation.

Brad also shares a recurring issue he finds with fitness apps in general: they often overestimate calorie burn. While Cronometer calculates his basal metabolic rate (BMR) around 2,500 calories, his experience with the Whoop 4.0 fitness tracker, which he’s used for six months, suggests a more accurate estimate of 2,000-2,100 calories. Brad emphasizes that precise data is essential for anyone over 40 trying to maintain or lose weight.

Though he finds Cronometer useful, he believes that long-term tracking may not be necessary for everyone. Instead, a focused month could provide the insight needed to fine-tune nutrition. For comprehensive fitness tracking, Brad still recommends Whoop 4.0, especially for its accuracy in calorie burn and sleep data, and encourages his listeners to explore it as a valuable tool for optimizing their fitness journey as they age.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams discusses his experience of returning to the gym after completing rehab for a SLAP tear (shoulder injury). After receiving the green light from his physical therapist, Brad shares his cautious approach to reintroducing weight training. He emphasizes the importance of asking doctors the right questions about what exercises are safe to continue during injury recovery, advocating for keeping active rather than complete rest.

Brad outlines his three-week process of easing back into the gym with a focus on light weights and controlled movements, gradually increasing intensity while monitoring his shoulder. He highlights the importance of not rushing recovery, citing previous experiences with injuries, such as his back surgery, where pushing too hard too soon caused setbacks. His approach included maintaining leg workouts during upper body rehab to preserve muscle mass and using targeted shoulder rehab exercises.

Throughout his recovery, Brad also stressed the importance of diet, particularly protein intake, to prevent muscle loss. By keeping his diet and training in check, he experienced noticeable gains in muscle even with reduced weights. He also mentions his use of stem cell patches from LifeWave to aid in the healing process and expresses optimism about their effectiveness in his recovery.

Brad concludes by encouraging listeners to take their time in recovery, listen to their bodies, and gradually reintroduce strength training to avoid reinjury. He emphasizes that, with the right approach, muscle memory will help them bounce back to their previous fitness levels.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams discusses a new personal challenge—insomnia—something he hadn’t experienced before. At age 44, after dealing with common post-40 struggles like allergies and difficulty maintaining muscle mass, Brad now finds himself battling sleep issues. He attributes the problem to his low-calorie diet and a goal of reaching single-digit body fat, which may be affecting his hormone levels. Despite previously enjoying good sleep, over the past month he began struggling with insomnia, relying on melatonin for relief—a habit he didn’t want to develop.

Brad emphasizes that he had already addressed common sleep hygiene factors, such as using blackout shades, reducing screen time, and managing his circadian rhythm. However, his worsening sleep issues led him to investigate further. The culprit, he realized, was his late-evening workouts, which raised his cortisol levels too close to bedtime, disrupting his sleep. After adjusting his workout schedule to earlier in the afternoon, his sleep quickly improved, and he was back to falling asleep by 10 PM.

Brad stresses the importance of aligning workouts with your body’s natural rhythm, especially for those over 40. He also touches on the importance of a good sleep environment, including proper bedding and addressing allergens. Finally, he highlights diaphragmatic breathing techniques and the value of addressing any sleep-disrupting factors to maintain a healthy, well-rested body.

Dr. John Lewis - Polysaccharides

https://drlewisnutrition.com

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams interviews Dr. John Lewis, a nutrition specialist, focusing on the importance of supplements for people over 40. Dr. Lewis emphasizes the role of polysaccharides in supporting immune function, reducing chronic inflammation, and stimulating adult stem cell production. He also highlights the importance of vitamin D, especially for middle-aged and older adults, citing that 70% of Americans are deficient. Magnesium is another key supplement he recommends due to its essential role in cellular function.

Dr. Lewis explains that polysaccharides, which are derived from sources like aloe vera and rice bran, are crucial for immune support and are often missing from typical diets. He shares that his supplement, Daily Brain Care, concentrates these polysaccharides in a convenient powder or capsule form. He stresses that his formula is suitable for people of all ages, including those following keto or carnivore diets, without disrupting ketosis.

Throughout the discussion, Brad shares his own experience with vitamin D and magnesium supplements, noting improvements in energy, sleep, and blood pressure. Dr. Lewis also addresses the need to stay open to different nutritional approaches and explains the difference between using nutrition to support the body’s natural functions versus treating disease.

The episode ends with Dr. Lewis sharing where listeners can find his supplements and further information on his website, DrLewisNutrition.com.

Dr. John Lewis - Polysaccharides

https://drlewisnutrition.com

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams interviews Dr. John Lewis, focusing on brain health, immune system function, and the benefits of polysaccharides, particularly from rice bran and aloe vera. Dr. Lewis shares how meeting key figures like Dr. McDaniel and hearing patient stories, such as Barbara's, reshaped his career, leading him to study the powerful effects of polysaccharides.

Dr. McDaniel's discovery of polysaccharides' impact on immune signaling, especially for those with HIV, Alzheimer's, and other diseases, was transformative. Polysaccharides, he explains, act like immune system conductors, communicating with the body's organs to enhance immune responses, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Dr. Lewis highlights a groundbreaking clinical trial he conducted on Alzheimer's patients using a formula containing these polysaccharides. The trial showed significant cognitive improvements, a result unheard of with current FDA-approved drugs. He also shares the story of Barbara, a thyroid cancer patient who, after being given six months to live, extended her life by nine years, largely credited to a rice bran product.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Lewis emphasizes the promising potential of polysaccharides, not only in aloe vera and rice bran but also in other sources like lion’s mane mushroom, which has gained popularity due to its high polysaccharide content.

Dr. John Lewis - Polysaccharides

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams interviews Dr. John Lewis, an expert in nutrition and dietary supplements, focusing on the benefits of polysaccharides for brain health. The conversation starts with Dr. Lewis sharing his personal journey, which began with sports and bodybuilding and evolved into a research-focused career at the University of Miami. His interest in nutrition and dietary supplements led him to groundbreaking research on polysaccharides found in aloe vera and rice bran, significantly influencing his career and life.

Dr. Lewis explains how polysaccharides, a complex form of sugar, are different from simple sugars like fructose and sucrose. While simple sugars can harm health, polysaccharides provide numerous health benefits, particularly for brain function and potentially in the prevention of diseases like Alzheimer’s. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the different types of sugars and how complex sugars found in natural sources, like plants and mushrooms, can be beneficial. Brad relates this to his own experience as a personal trainer, where he’s learned to move beyond the simplistic categorization of sugars and focus on overall health and longevity for clients over 40.

The episode highlights the potential for polysaccharides in improving cognitive health and the importance of expanding one's understanding of nutrition as part of a comprehensive fitness and wellness plan.

Guest Appearance On: Fit Father Project Podcast

In this podcast, Brad Williams discusses how his fitness career evolved, particularly after COVID-19, when he transitioned from running brick-and-mortar gyms to focusing on online fitness for people over 40. He reflects on his early days as a gym owner, handling all aspects of the business, and how his clientele naturally gravitated toward the over-40 crowd, which helped him develop his expertise in this area.

Brad emphasizes how his mindset toward fitness changed after experiencing a back injury at 35. He began to realize that the body can't be pushed the same way it was in his 20s. His approach shifted to a more mindful, sustainable way of exercising, focusing on longevity and avoiding injury. He shares that he now only trains three days a week for 30 minutes, prioritizing time under tension—slowing down movements to engage more muscle fibers and reduce joint stress.

He also talks about the "six buckets" of fitness: movement, stress, sleep, diet, inflammation, and overall wellness. He stresses that it’s important for people over 40 to focus on these areas holistically rather than burning themselves out with excessive exercise. Additionally, he highlights the importance of maintaining a social life and enjoying life while staying healthy, which is a core message of his fitness philosophy.

Brad concludes by sharing one of his favorite training hacks—using lighter weights with slow, controlled movements to build strength without causing injury, a practice that has helped him and his clients maintain fitness without compromising joint health.

In this podcast, the host discusses his approach to fasting, particularly a 36-hour fast he performs once a month, which he finds effective for cleansing and maintaining muscle mass without extreme difficulty. He emphasizes the importance of supplementing with amino acids during fasting to preserve muscle, noting that zero-calorie amino acid supplements are ideal since they provide the building blocks for protein without breaking the fast. However, he acknowledges that many of these supplements taste terrible.

After experimenting with different supplements, he found Kion, a flavored amino acid supplement, to be both effective and palatable, making it easier to stay hydrated and motivated during fasts. While not promoting the brand specifically, he encourages listeners to find a supplement that meets their taste and nutritional preferences. He also shares his fasting schedule, where he begins fasting after a morning meal on Monday and concludes on Tuesday evening, ensuring he still gets at least one meal each day.

The host concludes by reiterating the importance of muscle preservation, especially for those over 40, and invites listeners to share their own supplement recommendations.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams shares a personal update about hitting a snag in his weight loss journey. Known for his efficient 30-minute workouts and minimalistic approach, Brad explains how he's struggled to drop the last few pounds to reach his 190-pound goal, hovering around 197 pounds. He highlights how his cardio routines, including rebounding and treading water, have become less effective as his body adapts and becomes more efficient. To counter this, he’s been experimenting with more intense movements, like adding push-ups and heavier weights, but the journey has left him feeling fatigued due to his low-calorie intake.

Brad also discusses the importance of tracking fitness metrics using devices like the WHOOP tracker to monitor heart rate and BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), and emphasizes the need to continuously shock the body with new movements to maintain progress. Despite the challenges, Brad remains committed to finding efficient solutions to reach his fitness goals without sacrificing too much time or social life. He offers advice for those facing similar struggles and encourages listeners to keep pushing, reminding them that fitness is about slowing down the aging process and staying accountable.

Brad closes by inviting listeners to join his online personal training program or Facebook group, offering free consultations to help others achieve their fitness goals.

They discuss the importance of Ayurveda in managing inflammation, improving sleep, and promoting overall health. Dr. Gupta emphasizes the role of circadian rhythm and sleep, particularly the importance of sleeping from 10 PM to 2 AM to allow the body to detoxify and repair itself.

Dr. Gupta also highlights the importance of daily movement, grounding in nature, and mindful eating.

She advocates for understanding one’s body constitution (dosha) to tailor lifestyle choices, including diet and exercise.

Brad shares his own experience of transitioning from intense workouts to focusing more on recovery and managing inflammation, finding that it improved his health and physique. Dr. Gupta stresses that inflammation should be addressed early to prevent issues later in life, and following Ayurvedic practices can help achieve sustained health and energy as we age.

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams interviews Dr. Shivani Gupta, an expert in Ayurveda, about the health benefits of spices and herbs, particularly turmeric. Dr. Gupta explains that turmeric is her favorite spice due to its numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-aging properties. It also supports circulation, skin, and nails, and helps the body remove harmful "zombie cells." She recommends taking 500 mg of curcumin (the active component of turmeric) twice daily, combined with black pepper or healthy fats to enhance absorption.

Dr. Gupta also highlights other beneficial spices and adaptogens like ginger, which aids digestion, and ashwagandha, which reduces stress, improves sleep, and boosts stamina. She discusses the importance of supplement quality, emphasizing that many over-the-counter supplements are not as potent or effective as advertised. She advises cycling supplements to avoid overuse and tailoring intake to seasonal needs.

Throughout the interview, Brad shares his own experiences using turmeric and expresses concerns about supplement quality, which Dr. Gupta acknowledges as a significant issue in the industry. Both agree on the importance of knowing the source and formulation of supplements to ensure effectiveness and avoid adulterated products.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams interviews Dr. Shivani Gupta, an Ayurveda specialist, about holistic health, aging, and the power of ancient wisdom in modern wellness. Dr. Shivani shares her personal health journey, starting from childhood sickness and her discovery of Ayurveda during a trip to India, which transformed her understanding of wellness. After years of chronic illness and overuse of antibiotics, she embraced Ayurveda’s holistic approach to gut health, detoxification, and inflammation management, becoming an expert in this field.

Dr. Shivani highlights how Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system from India, helped her heal her gut and strengthen her immune system. She emphasizes that gut health, or "Agni" (digestive fire), is central to overall well-being, influencing everything from mental health to immune response. She also discusses her focus on turmeric, having done her PhD on its benefits, particularly for inflammation reduction.

Both Brad and Dr. Shivani express frustration with the limitations of Western medicine in addressing chronic issues and advocate for blending Eastern and Western approaches. Brad shares his own experiences of healing his body through listening to its needs and addressing his leaky gut. They both agree that while Western medicine excels in acute care, Ayurveda and holistic practices offer long-term solutions for chronic conditions, particularly as we age.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of regular detoxing, gut health maintenance, and using natural solutions for long-term vitality, especially for those over 40 facing new health challenges.

Brad shares his personal experience with rebounding—a low-impact exercise he favors due to his lower back injury. He explains that rebounding, combined with various intensity levels and accessories like weight vests or oxygen deprivation masks, can help burn around 450 calories in just 30 minutes.

Brad also compares other exercises, like treading water, which he discovered burns approximately 364 calories in 15 minutes. He emphasizes the importance of variety and keeping workouts enjoyable to avoid hitting plateaus, where your body becomes more efficient and burns fewer calories over time. For instance, he mentions adding resistance to treading water or trying high-intensity exercises like kickboxing, which burns significantly more calories than shadow boxing.

Brad stresses the need for personalized experimentation with different activities to find what works best for each individual. He also highlights that men and women often burn calories differently due to muscle mass and weight. By keeping workouts fun and effective, Brad aims to help his audience lose weight and stay fit without sacrificing their social life, offering tips and tools to do just that. He also hints at starting a TikTok channel, humorously named "Burn Brad Burn," to explore different exercises and calorie burns.

Check Out The Rebounder From JumpSport:⁠

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams discusses an effective method for burning more calories, particularly while at home. He shares his experience with rucking, a form of fast-paced walking with a weighted vest, which initially burned a significant amount of calories but has become less effective over time as his body adapted.

To counteract this, Brad started using a rebounder (a small trampoline) for low-intensity jumping while watching TV. He discovered that consistent rebounding burns more calories—around 400 in 30 minutes—compared to rucking, which now only burns about 95 calories for the same duration. This higher calorie burn is due to the full-body engagement required during rebounding, even though it doesn’t feel as intense.

Brad emphasizes the importance of shocking the body with new activities to prevent it from becoming too efficient and burning fewer calories. He has also experimented with adding resistance through weights and an oxygen deprivation mask to maintain high calorie expenditure as his body adapts to rebounding.

Ultimately, Brad suggests that rebounding is a fun, convenient, and effective way to burn extra calories, making it a part of his daily routine. He encourages listeners to find activities that work for them, highlighting the benefits of tracking progress with a fitness tracker to optimize their workouts.

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams interviews Nickie Ping from LifeWave to discuss the benefits of LifeWave patches, focusing on stem cell activation, natural healing, and overall wellness. Nickie and Dr. Lisa share powerful testimonials on how these patches have improved their lives and those of their clients.

Nickie highlights various success stories, such as individuals with chronic pain, sciatica, and even those recovering from major surgeries like hip replacements. The patches, including the X39 for stem cell activation and Eon for pain relief, have led to faster recovery, increased energy, and improved sleep for many users. Dr. Lisa also talks about her experience using the patches for pain management and energy, particularly noting the drastic improvement in her sleep quality after struggling with post-menopausal sleep issues.

Nickie explains that the patches work non-transdermally, meaning they don’t introduce substances into the body, making them safe and compatible with other treatments. She mentions how clients with conditions like fibromyalgia, lupus, and severe joint issues have experienced significant relief, often avoiding surgeries or pharmaceutical interventions. Additionally, Nickie discusses the importance of personalized consultations to ensure users get the most out of the patches.

The conversation also touches on the patches’ role in holistic health and how they can replace or complement traditional medicine. The episode ends with Nickie sharing her contact information for those interested in learning more or purchasing the patches, emphasizing the value of a personalized approach to health and wellness.

*Disclaimer: LifeWave patches are not used to treat or cure any condition. These are a wellness product.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams interviews Nickie Ping from LifeWave to explore the benefits of LifeWave patches, focusing on how they work, the different types available, and their potential applications for healing and wellness.

Nickie explains that LifeWave patches use phototherapy technology, activated by body heat, to stimulate specific peptides in the body. The patches do not need direct skin contact and can even be worn over clothing. The key patch discussed, the X39, stimulates the copper peptide GHK-Cu, which is crucial for healing and overall health. Nickie emphasizes the importance of this peptide in repairing tissues and enhancing vitality as we age.

Other patches mentioned include glutathione patches for detoxification and boosting antioxidants, the Aeon patch for reducing inflammation and promoting a sense of well-being, and specialized patches like the SP6 for hormone balance and Ice Wave for acute pain relief. Each patch uses a unique formulation to reflect different wavelengths of light, which in turn activate various peptides in the body.

Brad shares his interest in using LifeWave patches to address a cartilage tear in his shoulder, aiming for tissue repair rather than just pain relief. Nickie recommends the "Dynamic Duo" of X39 and Aeon patches for deeper healing and inflammation reduction. She also explains that while placing patches directly on pain points is effective, there are default areas on the body where patches can be applied for general health benefits.

The conversation delves into the benefits of consistent use, noting that regular patching can lead to reverse aging effects, better cognitive function, and enhanced physical performance. Nickie compares the natural, gradual benefits of these patches to more invasive, costly treatments like stem cell injections, emphasizing the importance of ongoing maintenance for lasting results.

Overall, the episode highlights how LifeWave patches can support a holistic approach to health, providing a non-invasive way to stimulate natural healing processes, improve energy levels, and maintain overall well-being, especially for those over 40.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams interviews Nickie Ping from LifeWave to discuss stem cell-activating patches. Brad is particularly interested due to a recent shoulder injury and his desire to explore alternative healing methods. The conversation begins with Nickie sharing her personal health journey, which took a drastic turn two years ago when she was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, despite having no symptoms.

Nickie describes how traditional medical treatments initially led to complications, prompting her to explore alternative therapies, including PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy and dietary changes. Eventually, she was introduced to LifeWave patches, which use non-transdermal technology to elevate dormant stem cells by stimulating the body’s peptides. After starting the patches, she experienced remarkable improvements, including increased energy, reduced inflammation, and overall better well-being.

The discussion highlights the science behind stem cell activation and how it supports the body's natural healing processes. Brad and Nickie explore how these patches complement other therapies like Beamer mats, which improve circulation. Nickie credits her holistic approach, combining LifeWave patches with a strict diet and oxygen therapy, for helping her achieve remission.

The episode emphasizes the importance of taking control of your health, being open to alternative treatments, and not waiting for mainstream approval of innovative products. Brad reinforces his belief in finding what works for each individual and encourages listeners to seek second opinions and make informed health decisions.

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams shifts focus from weight loss to muscle building, addressing the common issue of not seeing the desired lean muscle gains despite hard work in the gym. He highlights the top two reasons people struggle with this:

Insufficient Protein Intake: Many people, especially women, don't consume enough protein. Brad emphasizes that to build muscle, you need to consistently hit your daily protein target. He suggests aiming for 1 gram of protein per pound of your desired body weight and making it easier to track by limiting meals to one or two a day.
Inadequate Muscle Stimulation: Brad explains that simply lifting weights isn’t enough. You need to properly stimulate your muscles through effective reps, either by focusing on time under tension (slower, controlled movements) or by increasing mechanical load. He encourages aiming for muscle failure in a safe manner, ensuring you push beyond what you think you can achieve.

Brad wraps up by advising listeners to adopt these strategies for a month and reassess their progress. He also offers free consultations for those needing personalized guidance.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams shares his strategy for maintaining his fitness and keeping weight off during a recent trip to Las Vegas. Brad emphasizes the importance of planning ahead, controlling insulin, and sticking to a routine, even while enjoying vacations.

Brad’s approach included intermittent fasting, limiting meals to one per day during the trip, and focusing on protein intake first. He stocked up on essentials like water, electrolytes, and protein snacks (like beef jerky) from local stores upon arrival. Brad also managed his alcohol intake by opting for hard liquor like tequila, which tends to have less impact on weight gain.

Despite indulging a bit on Sunday, Brad’s overall disciplined approach allowed him to quickly bounce back from the trip. By resuming his routine and addressing water retention with potassium supplements, he was back on track by Tuesday, with plans to reach his target weight by the end of the week.

Brad concludes by encouraging listeners not to fear enjoying vacations while maintaining a fitness lifestyle, emphasizing that it's all about finding balance. He also invites listeners to join his Facebook group for the over-40 community and offers a free 15-minute Zoom consultation to help with personalized fitness guidance.

He emphasizes the importance of controlling insulin levels to optimize fat loss and overall health. Brad shares his personal experience with glucose monitors and how they have helped him understand his body's insulin response to different foods.

He recommends checking out Justin's social media channel, “Stop Spiking Sugar,” where Justin experiments with different foods and demonstrates the impact on blood sugar levels using a glucose monitor.

Brad gives practical tips for social situations, such as eating protein before attending events to minimize the impact of high-carb foods on blood sugar. He concludes by encouraging listeners to try these methods for at least a month to see results, stressing that insulin management is crucial for those over 40 who want to achieve their fitness goals.

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams discusses his recent experience with a GI mapping test. After suffering from a severe stomach flu that led to unexpected food allergies to chicken and eggs, Brad pursued a GI mapping test recommended by his DPC (Direct Primary Care) doctor to investigate ongoing digestive issues.

Brad explains how the GI mapping test works, involving a stool sample analyzed for various bacteria levels, both good and bad. His results indicated an overgrowth of H. pylori, along with other bacteria like Morganella, Pseudomonas, and Streptococcus, though not at dangerous levels. His test also showed a low score in digestive enzymes, indicating poor nutrient absorption, and a high immune response marker due to the H. pylori infection.

Given the options of antibiotics or a supplement regimen to address these issues, Brad chose the supplement route to avoid disrupting his gut microbiome further. He plans to retest in two months using a breath test for H. pylori and will journal his progress.

Brad emphasizes the importance of seeking multiple medical opinions and exploring both traditional and holistic approaches to health. He concludes by expressing optimism about future advancements in the fitness and health industry, driven by AI technology, and offers a free 15-minute consultation for listeners.

He plans to update listeners on his progress in a future episode.

In this episode of "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," Brad Williams shares recent findings from his Whoop device, particularly influenced by the recent heatwave in San Diego. Reflecting on his initial review in episode 490, Brad reveals three key observations that solidified his decision to renew his Whoop membership and purchase another device for his wife.

Increased Caloric Burn: Despite maintaining his usual workout routine, Brad noticed a significant increase in his daily caloric burn, which he attributes to the elevated temperatures. His basal metabolic rate (BMR) and workout calories spiked, suggesting that the heat causes his body to expend more energy.
Skin Temperature and Sweat: Brad's Whoop tracker indicated higher skin temperatures and increased sweating during workouts, aligning with the hot and humid conditions. This heightened physical response led to more calories burned without any changes to his exercise regimen.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Brad discusses HRV as a fitness indicator, influenced by factors like sleep, alcohol, and supplements (THC, CBD, melatonin). He highlights an upcoming podcast episode with Don Moxley, an HRV expert, for a deeper dive into this topic.

Brad advises listeners to consider environmental factors like heat to boost calorie burn without additional exercise and underscores the importance of tracking personal health metrics to optimize fitness. He also promotes a free Zoom consultation and his Facebook group for further engagement and support.

Martin explains that pain is a symptom of inflammation, which has five symptoms: redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function. Inflammation can be acute, such as from an injury or overtraining, and can be managed with ice to reduce pain or heat to speed up healing. He highlights the importance of systemic enzymes, like serrapeptase and natokinase, which help repair muscle tissue faster by breaking down fibrin, a scar tissue component. This can allow athletes to recover more quickly from workouts. Martin also addresses chronic pain and inflammation, emphasizing the need for enzymes, magnesium, and collagen for overall health and quicker repair. Chronic inflammation, often stemming from issues like leaky gut, can lead to various diseases such as arthritis and diabetes. He advocates for a combination of nutritional supplements, including boron for connective tissue health and silica for flexibility. Martin shares anecdotal evidence of individuals who have significantly benefited from enzyme supplementation, noting that these supplements help maintain a youthful, pain-free state even in older age. He also discusses the role of calcium and magnesium in maintaining flexibility and the importance of preventing chronic inflammation for overall health. Towards the end of the interview, Brad and Martin discuss their coaching methods, highlighting the use of online platforms like Zoom for consultations and TrueCoach software for workout plans and form correction. Martin offers comprehensive health programs through his website, Life Enthusiast, which includes a team of coaches specializing in herbalism, nutrition, and physiotherapy to help clients achieve homeostasis and better health. The podcast concludes with Brad mentioning that Martin's contact information and website will be available in the show notes. 4o 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

Martin Pytela - Metabolic Typing Coach

Life Enthusiast Podcast

⁠www.life-enthusiast.com⁠

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness, host Brad Williams interviews Martin Pytela from Life Enthusiast, focusing on the critical topic of gut health. Brad begins by sharing his personal struggles with food allergies and environmental sensitivities, emphasizing the confusion surrounding the microbiome and its impact on health. He notes the lack of new information in mainstream media and expresses frustration with Western medicine's skepticism towards conditions like leaky gut. Martin agrees, pointing out that heavy metals and industrial toxins are primary culprits in gut health decline, which he experienced firsthand during his health struggles.

Martin uses a vivid analogy to describe the gut lining, comparing it to a worn-out tennis court where the protective grass (villi) has been eroded. This erosion leads to a compromised gut lining, or leaky gut, which allows undigested food particles and toxins to enter the bloodstream, triggering immune responses and allergies. He explains that modern wheat and dairy, especially those produced in North America, are more likely to cause such damage due to their higher protein content and modifications.

The conversation then shifts to the interconnectedness of gut health with overall well-being. Martin highlights how a leaky gut can lead to a leaky brain and a compromised immune system, affecting cognitive functions and increasing vulnerability to various diseases. He stresses the importance of maintaining a balanced microbiome, which involves nurturing beneficial bacteria with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. He underscores the necessity of eliminating toxins and properly nourishing the gut to support its healing and function.

Brad and Martin also discuss detoxification, with Martin sharing his experience in using zeolite to remove heavy metals from his body. He explains that zeolite acts like a sponge, attracting and binding to positively charged toxins, which are then excreted from the body. This method, he notes, is less invasive and more accessible than intravenous EDTA chelation therapy. Martin emphasizes that removing mercury fillings and avoiding ongoing exposure to heavy metals is crucial for recovery.

Further elaborating on gut repair, Martin talks about the importance of butyrates, short-chain fatty acids produced by gut bacteria, essential for maintaining the integrity of the gut lining. He stresses that individuals must ensure their diets provide the necessary nutrients for these processes. Martin also touches on the significance of maintaining an optimal pH balance throughout the digestive system, which varies from acidic in the stomach to alkaline in the small intestine and back to acidic in the colon.

The discussion concludes with a focus on environmental toxins, particularly glyphosate, a common herbicide in the food chain. Martin explains that glyphosate is water-soluble and acts as an antibiotic, killing beneficial gut bacteria. He stresses the importance of avoiding contaminated food and water, reducing exposure to harmful chemicals in everyday products, and being mindful of the indoor environment. Martin advocates for a holistic approach to health, emphasizing that addressing diet and environmental factors is essential for maintaining a healthy gut and overall well-being.

Martin Pytela - Metabolic Typing Coach

Life Enthusiast Podcast

⁠www.life-enthusiast.com⁠

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness interviews Martin Pytela from Life Enthusiast about his journey into holistic health and his certification as a Metabolic Typing Coach. Martin shares his personal health struggles, which began after receiving 12 mercury amalgam fillings at the age of 25. This led to a decade of severe health issues, including back pain, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, weight gain, and allergies, all of which were traced back to mercury toxicity.

Frustrated with conventional medicine's focus on symptom treatment rather than root causes, Martin embarked on a path of self-education in health and wellness. He discovered that many of his issues were linked to mercury poisoning and systemic imbalances caused by modern industrialization and environmental toxins.

Martin explains metabolic typing, which identifies four main body types based on endocrine dominance: thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and gonadal. Each type has specific dietary needs and tendencies. For example, thyroid dominants do well on lighter proteins and fats but gain weight on starch, while adrenal dominants thrive on fruits and veggies but gain weight with fats.

Martin also discusses the importance of balancing body pH levels, which affect mood and overall health. He highlights how an imbalance can lead to conditions ranging from procrastination to severe depression (alkaline) or from impatience to anxiety (acidic). He emphasizes the need for appropriate mineral intake, particularly magnesium, to maintain this balance and support muscle function.

The conversation touches on practical tips, such as using magnesium oil for muscle relaxation and performance enhancement, and underscores the necessity of individualized dietary plans based on metabolic type for effective weight management and overall health improvement.

In this episode of "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," host Brad Williams delves into strategies for sustaining weight loss momentum as you near the single-digit body fat range. Drawing on his extensive experience as a personal trainer for over 14 years, Brad emphasizes the significance of building and maintaining sustainable habits. He highlights the importance of finding diets, supplements, and workout patterns that resonate with your body. Rather than blindly following advice from social media or even trusted health and wellness sources, Brad advises listeners to listen to their bodies, noting reactions, and journaling progress to pinpoint what works best.

Brad underscores the complexity of losing the last five to ten pounds, which can be more challenging than initial weight loss. He stresses the necessity of fine-tuning calorie intake and paying close attention to how your body responds to ensure you are not dipping into starvation mode, which can hinder progress and lead to muscle loss. By readjusting calorie calculators and using fitness trackers like the WHOOP tracker, individuals can better manage their energy expenditure and make necessary dietary adjustments.

Incorporating a variety of exercises is crucial, and Brad discusses the benefits of different types of movement, such as walking on flat surfaces, using a trampoline for cardio, and staying hydrated with beverages that feel right for your body. He shares his personal experience of discovering Trader Joe's probiotic drinks, which he finds more enjoyable than plain water, demonstrating the importance of flexibility in dietary choices while adhering to caloric goals.

Sleep and stress management are also pivotal. Brad highlights the role of adequate sleep, monitored through tools like the WHOOP tracker, in maintaining energy levels and overall health during a caloric deficit. He also touches on the potential drawbacks of long fasting periods when body fat levels are already low, advocating for shorter fasts that align better with lower body fat percentages to avoid detrimental effects on the body.

Managing insulin levels is another key aspect Brad discusses. He explains that constant eating, even within a caloric limit, can inhibit fat burning due to insulin response. By avoiding snacks between meals and extending fasting periods overnight, individuals can enhance their fat-burning potential.

Ultimately, Brad advocates for a balanced approach to weight loss that prioritizes long-term health and well-being. He advises against overtraining and extreme measures that can lead to injuries, especially for those over 40. Instead, he promotes a method focused on mastering diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management for sustainable results. Brad concludes by inviting listeners to take advantage of his free 15-minute consultation offer for personalized fitness guidance, encouraging them to continue following his journey and insights.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks discusses how to plan cheat days while still aiming for weight loss. He emphasizes maintaining a strict diet from Monday to Friday, with the possibility of relaxing a bit on weekends. His approach includes consuming high-protein, low-calorie meals early in the day and fasting until social activities begin to manage calorie intake. He suggests prioritizing protein shakes and avoiding high-calorie meals like eggs and bacon.

Brad explains the importance of balancing alcohol consumption by focusing on meat and vegetables to reduce carb intake. For those indulging in sweets, he advises consuming them earlier in the day to allow the body to burn off the calories before bedtime. He also discusses using products like CBD-infused drinks to reduce alcohol intake and recommends staying hydrated.

To avoid overeating, Brad suggests drinking plenty of water, chewing gum, and using apple cider vinegar as appetite suppressants. Staying busy and incorporating physical activities like walking can help burn off extra calories consumed during cheat days. Brad also promotes his new Facebook group for over 40 fitness enthusiasts, offering a space for motivation, questions, and community support.

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams discusses how our body might down-regulate its metabolism when certain bodily functions are impaired. He explains the breakdown of total calorie expenditure, emphasizing that basal metabolic rate (BMR) constitutes 60% of it, which is the energy our body uses at rest. Brad underscores the importance of building lean muscle through weightlifting and protein intake to boost BMR.

He also talks about other components like non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), diet-induced thermogenesis, and exercise. He warns against over-relying on strenuous exercises, particularly for those over 40, advocating for a balanced approach that protects the body and prioritizes building muscle and proper nutrition.

Brad further explains that factors like poor sleep, stress, and inflammation can negatively impact metabolism by causing the body to enter a survival mode, thus reducing BMR. This down-regulation can render calorie counting and fitness trackers inaccurate. He suggests focusing on overall health and wellness, including sleep, stress management, diet, and reducing inflammation, to ensure a properly functioning metabolism.

In conclusion, Brad advises listeners to use fitness technologies and calculators as guides but emphasizes the importance of biohacking and regular adjustments based on personal health observations. He encourages listeners to reach out with questions and offers a free Zoom consultation to help them achieve their fitness goals efficiently.

They discuss the evolution of fitness training for people over 40 and the importance of personalized approaches. Allan shares his journey, highlighting how his personal transformation led him to become a personal trainer to understand his own fitness needs. He recounts losing 66 pounds through a combination of paleo, keto, and intermittent fasting, and realizing that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work in fitness.

Allan explains how he initially believed in heavy lifting and low-carb diets for everyone but learned the importance of tailoring fitness plans to individual needs, using the example of his first online client who struggled with simple activities. They discuss the importance of starting small and progressing gradually, emphasizing that everyone’s fitness journey is unique.

The conversation shifts to the concept of using different "vehicles" (sports car, pickup truck, minivan) as metaphors for the pace and style of one’s fitness journey, depending on life circumstances. They stress that progress, regardless of speed, is valuable and that life itself is the journey, not an obstacle.

Brad and Allan also touch on the importance of journaling to track progress, recognizing and celebrating small victories, and maintaining a positive mindset. They highlight that maintaining fitness sometimes means adapting to new realities and that it’s okay to set new, realistic goals based on current capabilities.

In conclusion, Allan shares how listeners can connect with him through his podcast, book, and website, emphasizing continuous learning and adaptation in fitness. Brad appreciates Allan’s insights and looks forward to sharing more fitness tips for the over-40 community.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness interviews Allan Misner of 40+ Fitness Podcast, focusing on the topic of motivation. Allan discusses the common issue of people waiting for a specific day to start their fitness journey, often resulting in a lack of sustained motivation. He explains that true motivation comes from taking action first, rather than waiting for a magical moment.

Allan introduces a four-quadrant model for building motivation:

Accountability: Divided into two parts:

Leader Level: Involves hiring a coach or having a boss who sets expectations and checks in on progress.
Social Level: Involves joining groups or classes where social interactions and mutual accountability help maintain motivation.

Self-Efficacy: Also divided into two parts:

Leader Level: Focuses on self-management strategies like preparing gym bags or meal planning to eliminate excuses and ensure consistency.
Values and Habits: The most powerful quadrant, where actions align with one's identity and values. This includes adopting habits and seeing oneself as a runner, healthy eater, or other roles aligned with fitness goals.

Allan emphasizes that each quadrant requires proactive steps to build lasting motivation. Coaches and social groups provide external accountability, while self-management and ingrained habits foster internal motivation. Together, these strategies create a sustainable approach to fitness and health.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness provides a month 5 update on his six-month personal fitness challenge, which began at the start of the year. This month, Brad focused on improving his sleep using the Whoop device, a wearable fitness tracker. Despite not having significant sleep issues before, Brad decided to optimize his sleep duration and quality. He typically slept around six to seven hours but aimed to increase this to improve his deep REM sleep, crucial for overall recovery.

Brad detailed his experience with the Whoop device, explaining how it tracks various sleep stages and provides an overall sleep score. Initially scoring well, he noticed his deep REM sleep was lacking, prompting him to extend his sleep duration to seven or eight hours. This adjustment led to better scores, although he didn't always feel more refreshed.

The Whoop device also tracks strain, recovery, and daily calorie expenditure, giving Brad insights into his physical exertion and metabolic rate. He maintained a consistent workout routine of three to four 30-minute sessions per week, focusing on efficiency rather than high strain. The data confirmed that his workouts were effective in building lean muscle mass without excessive calorie burn, aligning with his goals.

Additionally, Brad monitored his HRV (Heart Rate Variability) score, which varied based on his lifestyle choices, showing improvement during the weekdays and decline over weekends due to dietary indulgences.

Despite his aversion to wearing devices, Brad found the Whoop device useful for gaining insights into his sleep and physical activity patterns. He committed to using it for a year and would reassess its value afterward.

Brad also recapped his progress in previous months, mentioning ongoing challenges with inflammation due to allergies and a recent stomach flu that led to a new egg allergy. For the final month, Brad plans to focus on stress management through meditation and circadian rhythm optimization.

Listeners are encouraged to join the challenge, revisit episode 429 for detailed instructions, and connect with Brad through a free 15-minute Zoom call or his new Facebook group.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness provides an update on his fasting protocols and shares his insights from two years of intermittent fasting. Brad emphasizes the importance of refining fasting practices by consulting with health and wellness experts. His current regimen involves a 6-7 hour eating window, consuming balanced meals with protein, fats, and fibers, and focusing on hydration with water and electrolyte drinks.

Brad highlights the significance of avoiding high-potassium supplements during long fasts and insists on no-calorie additions to coffee or tea. He encourages starting with intermittent fasting, gradually reducing the eating window, and possibly extending to longer fasts like his preferred 36-hour fast, which he does once a month.

A recent adjustment in Brad's approach includes minimizing meal frequency within the eating window, now consuming two larger meals instead of three to optimize insulin response and fat burning. This shift has yielded notable results, including weight loss and improved body composition.

Brad underscores the benefits of fasting for men and women, advising customization based on individual needs and professional guidance. He also suggests simple strategies like chewing gum or drinking apple cider vinegar to curb appetite. Ultimately, Brad encourages listeners to experiment with intermittent fasting, adapt it to their lifestyle, and find what works best for them.

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, I delve into the perennial debate on whether or not counting calories should be a primary focus in your fitness journey. As I address this common query, I emphasize that while calorie counting can be beneficial, it is not necessarily the initial step one should take, especially for those over 40 who are beginning their fitness transformation.

The core of my argument is that establishing foundational healthy habits is paramount. This involves focusing on six key aspects of fitness: diet, exercise (or movement), inflammation, stress management (both physical and mental), sleep, and supplementation. Addressing these areas comprehensively will yield significant benefits and set a robust groundwork for your fitness goals.

Calorie counting, often rooted in traditional bodybuilding approaches, operates on the principle of caloric deficit and expenditure. While mathematically sound and effective for achieving very low body fat percentages, it may not be essential for everyone, especially those comfortable with a higher, but healthy, body fat percentage. It's crucial to recognize that fitness goals vary, and so should the methods to achieve them.

For many, the stress and potential negativity associated with rigorous calorie tracking can be counterproductive. Therefore, if counting calories feels overwhelming, it might be more prudent to focus initially on overall dietary quality, increased physical activity, and gradual adjustments. This approach can often yield substantial results without the meticulous need to track every calorie.

However, for those aiming to reach single-digit body fat percentages, calorie counting becomes almost inevitable. It's an advanced strategy that fine-tunes the diet to achieve precise fitness outcomes. Utilizing tools like MyFitnessPal or even a basic food scale can provide valuable insights into your dietary intake, helping you make informed adjustments.

Interestingly, the physiological feedback from devices like the WHOOP strap offers a modern method to understand your body's needs. By monitoring metrics such as heart rate, stress levels, oxygen levels, and basal metabolic rate (BMR), you can tailor your calorie intake and expenditure dynamically. This biohacking approach provides a more detailed and responsive way to manage your fitness journey.

In conclusion, whether or not to count calories depends on your personal goals and preferences. Establish a solid foundation in all aspects of fitness, and if you decide to pursue lower body fat percentages, incorporate calorie tracking as an advanced tool. The ultimate aim is to remain motivated, feel better, and achieve a sustainable, healthy lifestyle.

Stephen Campolo - Weight Loss Expert

https://flxbody-coaching.com/start

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams engages in a dialogue with fellow personal trainer Stephen Campolo, delving into the intricacies of nutrition and diet strategies. Stephen begins by reflecting on the evolution of his nutritional philosophy, indicating a shift from traditional bodybuilding diets towards a more experimental approach. Over the years, he has explored various dietary trends, including intermittent fasting, keto, and carnivore, in a quest to discover what works best for himself and his clients.

One of the central themes of their discussion revolves around the concept of calorie deficit for weight loss. Stephen emphasizes the importance of understanding that weight loss ultimately boils down to consuming fewer calories than one expends. However, he dispels the notion that meal frequency significantly impacts weight loss outcomes, asserting that as long as one remains within their daily calorie range, meal frequency becomes a matter of personal preference rather than a critical factor.

Moreover, Stephen touches upon the necessity of calorie tracking to develop awareness of eating habits. He suggests tools like MyFitnessPal to help individuals gain insight into their calorie consumption, as many people tend to underestimate the amount of food they eat. By tracking calories, individuals can make informed decisions about their dietary choices and adjust their intake accordingly to achieve their weight loss goals.

The conversation extends to the challenges faced by petite individuals in managing calorie intake and protein consumption. Stephen highlights the importance of tailoring dietary approaches based on individual body composition, noting that petite individuals may need to be more cautious with their calorie intake due to their smaller metabolic engines. Additionally, they discuss strategies for meeting protein requirements through diverse food options, such as protein bars, Greek yogurt, and protein powder, offering alternatives to solely relying on meat consumption.

Throughout the discussion, both Brad and Stephen stress the significance of listening to one's body and tracking results to gauge the effectiveness of dietary changes. They advocate for a pragmatic approach focused on gradual adjustments and small lifestyle changes, rather than strict adherence to rigid dietary protocols. By adopting a flexible and sustainable approach to nutrition, individuals can achieve long-term success in their fitness journey.

Stephen Campolo - Weight Loss Expert

https://flxbody-coaching.com/start

In this engaging podcast conversation between Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks and Stephen Campolo, a seasoned personal trainer, the focus is on Stephen's transformative journey into fitness, navigating the challenges of binge eating, and the psychological intricacies surrounding it. Stephen candidly shares his personal narrative, beginning with his adolescence when he grappled with being significantly overweight, growing up in a food-centric Italian household where culinary indulgence was the norm.

Motivated by a desire to shed excess weight and the negative impacts of bullying, Stephen embarked on his weight loss journey at the age of 14. Initially, he turned to running as his primary means of exercise, braving the cold New York winters to jog nightly. Coupled with a diet heavily centered around chicken and broccoli—deemed the quintessential healthy meal—Stephen experienced rapid weight loss, shedding nearly 100 pounds within six months.

However, his weight loss journey took a new trajectory when he discovered bodybuilding through Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic documentary "Pumping Iron." Inspired by the muscular physiques showcased, Stephen transitioned to weightlifting, eventually competing in natural bodybuilding shows with the guidance of a seasoned coach. Despite his success on stage, Stephen's strict pre-competition dieting inadvertently triggered an unhealthy obsession with food, leading to episodes of binge eating post-competition.

This pattern of restrictive eating followed by bingeing persisted for years, creating a tumultuous cycle that impacted Stephen's physical and mental well-being. He candidly recounts a harrowing incident during the COVID era where a severe bout of binge eating resulted in excruciating pain and emergency surgery to remove his gallbladder—a consequence of overindulging in high-fat foods like peanut butter.

Through his experiences, Stephen underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing food addiction, describing himself as a "recovering food addict." He emphasizes the necessity of cultivating a lifelong awareness of one's relationship with food, acknowledging the complexities inherent in managing food-related behaviors. Stephen's story serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges individuals face within the fitness industry, intertwining themes of weight loss, body image, and mental health in a deeply personal narrative.

Incorporate Probiotics: Enhance gut health by including probiotic-rich foods like kimchi and sauerkraut in your diet. Brad highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome for overall well-being.

Throughout the episode, Brad emphasizes the need to master each step before progressing to the next, promoting a gradual and sustainable approach to diet improvement. He also offers practical tips and resources for listeners to implement these changes effectively.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks dives into his and his daughter's transformative experiences with the Primal Life Organics oral care program. Inspired by Trina Felber's holistic approach, Brad decided to give the program a try after learning about its natural, fluoride-free ingredients. Trina's personal journey, driven by her daughter's struggles with cavities, resonated with Brad, prompting him to explore alternative oral care solutions.

After incorporating the Primal Life Organics products into his daily routine, Brad noticed significant improvements in his oral health. His dental appointment revealed a remarkable absence of soft plaque and zero cavities, validating the program's effectiveness. This outcome not only impressed Brad but also instilled confidence in him to introduce his daughter to the program. Opting for the kid-friendly version, Brad embarked on a journey to enhance his daughter's oral health.

With consistent use over two and a half months, Brad observed remarkable progress during his daughter's dental appointment. The reduction in cavities, with three out of four nearly gone, showcased the program's potential to naturally address oral health issues. Brad's commitment to his daughter's well-being and his willingness to explore holistic solutions underscored his dedication to finding the best oral care regimen for his family.

However, Brad also encountered challenges associated with transitioning to natural oral care products. Concerns about tooth discoloration arose due to the absence of whitening agents in the natural products. To address this, Brad adopted a strategy of alternating between Primal Life Organics and Arm & Hammer toothpaste, leveraging the latter's baking soda content for whitening purposes.

Additionally, Brad navigated concerns regarding the presence of lead traces in the products. While acknowledging the importance of personal research and consulting health professionals, Brad shared insights gained from his own investigation into the matter. Despite initial apprehensions, Brad's thorough examination provided reassurance regarding the safety and efficacy of the Primal Life Organics program.

Ultimately, Brad's experiences serve as a testament to the transformative potential of holistic oral care approaches.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks delves into the best exercises for each body part to maximize hypertrophy, especially for individuals over 40. Brad emphasizes the importance of exercises that prioritize muscle size and efficiency, particularly avoiding high-impact movements due to potential injuries common in the over 40 demographic. He shares insights tailored for both men and women, focusing on exercises that elevate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to burn more calories and build muscle mass.

Starting with lower body exercises, Brad suggests calf exercises tailored for different muscle fiber types, recommending slow, controlled movements for ectomorphs (type one muscle fibers) and heavier weights with fewer reps for mesomorphs (type two muscle fibers). Moving on to quads, hamstrings, and glutes, he highlights the Bulgarian split squat as a versatile option and offers modifications for those with back issues. For core exercises, Brad advocates for plank variations to enhance spinal health and avoid overloading specific segments.

Brad resonates with this sentiment, expressing his intention to be more discerning about the supplements he consumes, preferring products endorsed by passionate founders like Robert.

Time Under Tension vs More Mechanical Tension

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

Step By Step Podcasting Link!

Descript Editing Software Link!

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks dives into the ongoing debate within the fitness community regarding the effectiveness of two muscle-building techniques: time under tension and mechanical tension. He notes the prevalence of this controversy among fitness gurus and professionals on social media platforms.

Brad begins by explaining the fundamental concepts behind both approaches. Time under tension refers to the duration of an exercise, including the speed at which repetitions are performed. On the other hand, mechanical tension focuses on the weight lifted, irrespective of the tempo of the movement.

My Experience With The Carnivore Diet For 30 Days

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

In this podcast transcript, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks shares his experience with the Carnivore Diet during a 30-day trial. Brad, a personal trainer with expertise in helping the over-40 crowd achieve fitness goals, decided to explore the Carnivore Diet trend despite initial skepticism. Throughout the month of March (and a few days in February), Brad followed the strict dietary guidelines of the Carnivore Diet, which primarily consists of consuming meat and animal fats while avoiding all plant-based foods.

Brad recounts the challenges he faced, including the need for research to ensure adequate nutrient intake, particularly vitamin C and B vitamins, as well as coping with low glycogen levels and potential dehydration. Despite his commitment to maintaining a social life, Brad adhered to the Carnivore Diet during weekdays and allowed himself some flexibility on weekends, though this impacted his ketosis cycle.

Throughout the trial, Brad diversified his meat choices, focusing on ruminant meats such as bison, venison, and wild boar, alongside supplements like liver pills and bison patties containing organ meats. He also adjusted his fat intake, initially relying on plant-based oils before incorporating bacon to address issues related to saturated fat and cholesterol intake.

Brad shares his observations on the diet's effects, including improved Friday energy levels compared to his typical keto diet and slight weight loss. However, he highlights challenges such as insomnia, brain fog, and the need for strict adherence to achieve optimal results.

Reflecting on his experience, Brad emphasizes the importance of water intake, consuming high-fat animal products, and maintaining variety in food choices. While he acknowledges potential benefits for gut health and skin improvement, he questions the sustainability and long-term health implications of a strictly carnivorous diet, particularly concerning nutrient deficiencies.

Looking ahead, Brad plans to reintroduce fruits and raw honey while reducing vegetable intake, inspired by insights from Dr. Paul Saladino's content. He also intends to prioritize animal protein over vegan protein shakes, noting the superior bioavailability of the former.

⁠⁠www.witsandweights.com/free⁠ Instagram: ⁠@witsandweights

In this podcast interview between Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks and Philip Pape from the Wits and Weights podcast, the focus is on a "rapid fat loss" approach intended for individuals who are experienced in fitness, having built muscle and possessing an understanding of tracking energy intake. Philip introduces the concept of a specific, aggressive fat loss phase inspired by Dr. Bill Campbell's research. This phase involves a 14-day protocol consisting of cycles of severe calorie restriction (45% deficit for four days), interspersed with maintenance-level eating.

They distinguish this approach from crash dieting, emphasizing the maintenance of muscle mass through high protein intake and rigorous training. The strategy aims to minimize muscle loss by using a higher protein intake and short duration of the diet phase, preventing metabolic adaptations in a brief period.

Philip shares insights gathered from the individuals who participated in this protocol, highlighting lessons beyond just weight loss, such as learning about body responses to fluctuating weights, the challenges and lessons of meal planning, and psychological discoveries.

The conversation delves into strategies for preserving lean tissue during fasting, emphasizing the importance of protein intake and the balance between protein and carbohydrate consumption for optimal results. Both hosts stress the need for individualized approaches and the necessity of adapting strategies based on personal responses rather than adhering strictly to predefined protocols.

Philip offers his rapid fat loss protocol and other resources for listeners interested in exploring this method further. The interview concludes with discussions on the importance of being guilt-free about food choices, playing detective in understanding bodily responses to changes in routines, and sharing resources for interested audiences.

Getting Better Results With Muscle Confusion Through Varied Workouts

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

In the podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks delves into the concept of muscle confusion and the necessity of constantly challenging the body for better fitness results. He addresses the common issue of stagnant progress in workouts and explains that when individuals repetitively perform the same exercises, their bodies become efficient, resulting in burning fewer calories over time.

Brad emphasizes the importance of breaking habits, particularly for the over 40 crowd, as sticking to the same routine leads to diminished effectiveness. He describes how the body adapts to familiar exercises, utilizing fewer muscle fibers to complete them, ultimately expending less energy and burning fewer calories despite potential strength gains.

To counter this plateau, Brad advocates for "shocking the body" by introducing variation into workouts. This involves changing exercises, angles, muscle groups, and even incorporating different fitness modalities like yoga, Pilates, hiking, or boxing. He highlights that this variety keeps the body guessing, preventing it from becoming too efficient and ensuring a higher calorie burn.

Beyond workouts, Brad underscores the significance of diverse stressors on the body, including unconventional methods like cold immersion, saunas, red light therapy, and breathing techniques. These stressors prompt the body to adapt but caution that the body's efficiency will plateau eventually.

He concludes by stressing the importance of maintaining a varied routine to avoid fitness plateaus, recommending that individuals find activities they enjoy while staying committed to dieting goals. Brad shares a success story about a client who saw progress by diversifying his exercise routine and concludes by encouraging listeners to break out of workout ruts and embrace variety for optimal fitness results and an improved quality of life.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks introduces a unique and time-efficient approach to weight training suitable for individuals with limited time, those who dislike traditional workouts, or seek maximum results in minimal time. Brad, drawing from over 14 years of personal training experience, advocates for short, full-body workouts, breaking away from the conventional progressive overload theory prevalent among trainers.

He shares his recent experimentation with condensed gym sessions, reducing from four to three workouts weekly. Brad's approach involves intense, 30-minute sessions focusing on major muscle groups like chest, legs, and back, while using shoulders and arms as stabilizers. He emphasizes time under tension and quality reps, performing just six exercises in total: two sets per muscle group, one as a warm-up and the other at a challenging weight for 4-6 reps.

Contrary to the typical heavy-lifting-first approach, Brad prioritizes joint warm-ups and lighter sets, citing the importance of longevity and joint health. He explains how his philosophy of time under tension has positively impacted his body, alleviating past issues like back problems and joint pains.

Additionally, he mentions incorporating cold plunges before these workouts and notes promising results, considering reducing his sessions to twice a week due to notable gains and soreness.

Brad Williams, host of the podcast "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," shares his personal experience with cold plunges in this episode. He delves into the trend of cold showers and cold plunges, detailing the purported benefits touted by enthusiasts on social media and their impact on overall health.

Williams, a seasoned personal trainer, initially found the idea of cold showers daunting but decided to explore cold plunging for its potential advantages, such as activating brown fat, triggering the fight-or-flight response, and increasing the body's longevity genes. He contrasts cold showers with cold plunges, highlighting the latter's potential for achieving lower temperatures and, thus, more significant benefits.

Accessing his parents' unheated pool, Williams embarked on a month-long cold plunge regimen, gradually enduring the chilling waters, which started at 58 degrees and dropped to 55 degrees. He shares his journey from beginning with one minute and progressing to a five-minute duration. However, he cautions against prolonged exposure due to concerns about skin damage and hypothermia.

Reflecting on the purported benefits, Williams notes improvements in joint health, decreased stiffness, and alleviation of specific pains in his body. While he doesn't experience increased alertness or enhanced workout recovery, he observes a slight impact on weight management, especially after weekends of indulgence.

Despite his personal gains, Williams acknowledges individual differences in responses to cold plunges. He emphasizes the potential for more significant weight loss benefits for individuals with higher body fat percentages and advises cautious monitoring of progress when attempting cold plunges.

Williams also touches upon the recommended duration and temperature for optimal results and hints at the possibility of assessing the impact of cold plunges on his overall health through upcoming blood work.

Ultimately, he leaves the decision to try cold plunges to the listener, emphasizing the importance of access, gradual adaptation, and monitoring individual responses. Williams concludes by expressing his intent to provide future updates on his cold plunge experience.

In this podcast transcript, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks discusses the topics of workout frequency, training splits, and workout volume. He emphasizes the importance of individuality in fitness and offers practical insights for people over 40 who want to maintain or build muscle while considering their lifestyle and goals.

Brad suggests that the frequency of workouts should depend on individual preferences and body signals. He encourages listeners to listen to their bodies and adjust their training schedules accordingly, avoiding overworking sore or tight muscles. The choice between muscle-building, cardiovascular training, or high-intensity interval training should align with personal goals and lifestyle.

The amount of time available for workouts should be considered when deciding on training splits. Brad mentions options such as full-body workouts, upper body/lower body splits, or specialized leg days. He highlights the need to adapt splits to one's schedule, emphasizing that variety is key to keeping workouts interesting.

Regarding workout volume, Brad recommends doing about 9 sets per muscle group for larger muscles and fewer sets for smaller ones. For those looking to maintain rather than bulk up, the number of sets can be reduced. He suggests dividing the sets over 2-3 days a week and recommends focusing on time under tension and effective reps to maximize results.

Brad also advises that movements like bodyweight exercises or HIT training can be considered separate from traditional weightlifting sets, especially when aiming for daily movement.

He cautions that exceeding the recommended maximum sets per muscle group may lead to diminishing returns in terms of muscle gains. However, for those who enjoy daily workouts as a form of movement, this can be a viable approach, though not for muscle building.

Brad concludes by highlighting the importance of individuality and personal experience in fitness, emphasizing that his insights are based on his expertise as a personal trainer and observations in the field of health and wellness.

Deciding When Is The Best Time To Eat In The Morning For The Most Fat Loss

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks discusses a contradiction he noticed between two prominent health experts, Dr. Huberman and Gary Breca, regarding morning nutrition and fasting. Brad emphasizes the importance of staying updated on fitness trends and conducting research to make informed decisions. He regularly experiments with different approaches, usually for 30 days, and has seen success in his fitness journey.

The contradiction he focuses on relates to Gary Breca's belief in consuming protein within the first 30 minutes of waking up and performing cardio to maximize fat burning, even suggesting that fasting in the morning can lead to muscle loss. On the other hand, Dr. Huberman promotes fasting for the over-40 crowd, especially as you age, advocating for longer fasting periods in the morning to encourage the body to use fat stores for energy.

Brad suggests that the choice between these two approaches depends on an individual's diet and goals. For those on a high-carbohydrate diet, he leans towards Gary Breca's recommendation of consuming something in the morning to prevent potential muscle loss. However, for those following a low-carb or keto diet, he aligns more with Dr. Huberman's idea of prolonging the fasting window to enhance fat burning. Brad also suggests that if you're doing high-intensity training frequently, having a protein shake before the workout might be beneficial to prevent muscle loss.

In summary, Brad provides his insights into the contradiction between these experts, emphasizing that the choice between these approaches depends on your specific circumstances, diet, and fitness goals. He encourages listeners to consider their own situation and experiment to find the approach that works best for them.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks interviews Steve Carver from JumpSport, discussing the benefits of rebounding as a fitness activity, particularly for individuals over the age of 40. Brad, a personal trainer with over 14 years of experience, is keen on helping his audience maintain their fitness and well-being while taking into consideration the challenges of aging.

The conversation delves into the science and effectiveness of rebounding compared to other forms of exercise, such as jogging, and highlights the importance of joint and connective tissue health, which tends to deteriorate with age. Steve, who is well into his 60s, shares how rebounding has contributed to his longevity and overall well-being. Rebounding, with its reduced impact on joints and connective tissues, allows individuals to work out longer, harder, and recover faster.

Steve explains how the reduced impact on the body during rebounding can minimize inflammation and soreness typically associated with high-impact exercises. He compares the JumpSport rebounding system to traditional spring-based rebounders and emphasizes the significant reduction in ground impact it offers, making it gentler on the body.

The podcast also explores the benefits of rebounding for the lymphatic system. Rebounding enhances lymphatic flow, which aids in removing toxins from the body, promoting overall health. Brad and Steve discuss how movement plays a crucial role in supporting the lymphatic system, and the unique advantages of rebounding in this regard.

They touch upon how rebounding engages more muscle groups due to the need for stability on the trampoline surface, making it an efficient way to reach one's target heart rate and experience faster recovery during active intervals. Steve cites a study conducted by the American Council on Exercise that found 12 minutes of rebounding to be equivalent to 20 minutes of treadmill running in terms of cardiovascular benefits.

The discussion concludes with the practicality and space-saving advantages of rebounding, making it an accessible and eco-friendly fitness option. Brad expresses his enthusiasm for incorporating rebounding into his training regimen for both his clients and himself, given its many health and time-saving benefits.

Overall, the podcast highlights the potential of rebounding as a fun and effective fitness solution, especially for those over 40, and underscores the importance of maintaining joint health and supporting the lymphatic system in aging individuals.

Over 40 Fitness Hacks Google Review:

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks explores a fascinating contradiction he encountered from two renowned researchers regarding the human body's ability to switch to fat for energy. He highlights the challenge of sifting through contradicting information in the health and fitness world.

Brad introduces two experts, Kiran Rooney, a biochemist, and Gary Breca, a human biologist, who have differing views on how the body utilizes fat for energy. He emphasizes that everyone's body is unique, and what works for one may not work for another due to differences in genetics and biochemistry.

The discussion touches on various aspects of fat metabolism and energy utilization, including the role of calorie deficits, lean muscle, fasting, and low-carb diets. Brad shares his personal experiences with keto and low-carb diets and their impact on his body's ability to switch to fat for energy.

He delves into the concept of mitochondria, the body's powerhouses, and how they play a role in fat burning. Brad also discusses high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and its impact on glucose and glycogen stores, as well as the potential consequences of prolonged HIIT workouts.

Brad expresses his belief that there may be some truth in both researchers' theories but suggests that individual differences and adaptations play a significant role in the body's ability to switch to fat for energy. He emphasizes the importance of listening to your body, experimenting with different approaches, and being open to what works best for you.

In the end, Brad highlights the ever-evolving nature of scientific understanding of the human body and the importance of personal experimentation in the pursuit of health and fitness goals.

Brad acknowledges the multitude of diets available, such as low carb, keto, vegan, and Mediterranean, and notes that different diets work for different people.

Brad outlines a simple method to determine your daily caloric intake and encourages listeners to prioritize protein consumption.

Brad explains that his personal experience has led him to favor the keto diet, though he allows for flexibility. He emphasizes the significance of setting up for success, which might involve meal prepping or daily protein intake strategies.

He shares examples of falling short on protein and its impact on progress. Brad encourages individuals to make protein intake a top priority to maintain their health and fitness goals, even as dietary choices evolve over time.

Pay Yourself First: This principle advises allocating a portion of your income toward savings and financial goals before addressing other expenses. It promotes financial stability and ensures that your future needs are met.
Stay Out of Debt: Avoiding excessive debt, particularly high-interest credit card debt, is essential for financial well-being. George emphasizes the importance of managing debt wisely to prevent it from hindering your financial progress.

www.drturner.substack.com

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from "Over 40 Fitness Hacks" interviews Dr. Michael Turner, an Integrative Medicine expert, about the importance of HGH (Human Growth Hormone), especially for people over 40. They discuss natural ways to boost HGH levels.

Dr. Turner highlights the significance of HGH, emphasizing its role in stimulating muscle growth, aiding ligament and tendon healing, and promoting fat loss. He describes HGH as one of the most potent fat-burning compounds in the body.

The conversation delves into methods for naturally increasing HGH production. Dr. Turner emphasizes the importance of deep sleep, particularly the deepest stages, as HGH is primarily secreted during this time. He recommends using sleep trackers to monitor and improve deep sleep quality.

Dr. Turner introduces GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) as a supplement that can enhance HGH release in the brain. He discusses a study that demonstrated a 30% increase in HGH release when athletes took 3000 milligrams of GABA before exercise.

Regarding the debate between deep sleep and strenuous physical activity for natural HGH release, Dr. Turner advises prioritizing quality sleep due to its many other health benefits, including reduced oxidative stress, decreased inflammation, and improved mental sharpness. However, he acknowledges the benefits of intense anaerobic exercise, like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), in stimulating HGH release.

Dr. Turner's approach to health and wellness is goal-oriented and individualized. He tailors his services to each person's specific goals, whether it's weight loss, testosterone optimization, or other health-related objectives. Dr. Turner operates both online and locally in Washington state, with the majority of his services available online.

Listeners interested in contacting Dr. Turner can visit his Substack page at drturner.substack.com, where they can find blog posts, podcast episodes, and information on how to schedule a consultation.

Dr. Michael Turner - Integrative Medicine Physician

www.drturner.substack.com

In this podcast episode, host Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks interviews Dr. Michael Turner, an Integrative Medicine expert, on the topic of anti-aging supplements in 2023. Dr. Turner begins by explaining the importance of understanding the physiological factors driving the aging process. He introduces the concept of telomeres, which are protective caps on the end of DNA strands. Telomeres naturally shorten with each cell division, eventually causing cells to stop dividing.

Dr. Turner then highlights an anti-aging supplement called "Gotu Kola," which has the ability to modify telomere length and help maintain their integrity. This supplement is particularly beneficial for promoting longevity.

The conversation shifts to mitochondrial health, emphasizing the significance of well-functioning mitochondria as the powerhouses of cells. Dr. Turner mentions high-intensity exercise as a key strategy to optimize mitochondrial health. Additionally, he discusses the role of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) as a supplement that enhances mitochondrial function, boosts energy production throughout the body, and serves as an antioxidant. He also notes that CoQ10 can benefit various organ systems and individuals with conditions like chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

The podcast then delves into the importance of DNA repair in the context of aging and cancer risk. Dr. Turner explains that DNA constantly sustains damage and relies on repair mechanisms to prevent cancerous growth. FOXO genes play a crucial role in promoting DNA repair, and he outlines lifestyle practices like intermittent fasting to stimulate their activity. Dr. Turner introduces EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a component found in green tea, as a supplement that directly stimulates FOXO gene activity, thus supporting DNA repair.

Brad shares his experience with matcha green tea and EGCG supplementation, noting that EGCG supplements can be a convenient alternative for individuals who experience digestive discomfort with green tea.

Overall, the podcast provides valuable insights into anti-aging supplements, telomere maintenance, mitochondrial health, and DNA repair, offering listeners practical information to support their holistic approach to longevity and well-being in 2023.

Dr. Michael Turner - Integrative Medicine Physician

www.drturner.substack.com

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks interviews Dr. Michael Turner, a specialist in Integrative Medicine. Dr. Turner begins by expressing his deep passion for health and his daily commitment to living a healthy lifestyle. He emphasizes that his focus is not on trying to replicate his 27-year-old self's health but on maximizing his health at his current age of 47, recognizing the importance of individual genetics and backgrounds in this journey.

Dr. Turner's interest in health and wellness started during high school when he took a health class and became fascinated by the intricacies of the human body. This fascination led him to adopt healthy habits like running, clean eating, and weightlifting. He also delved into research, exploring questions about protein intake, carb consumption, and supplements.

His educational journey took him to prestigious institutions, including Stanford University for undergrad studies in human biology, Harvard Medical School for further education, and the Mayo Clinic to complete his residency. Despite initially working in a neuroscience center, Dr. Turner later decided to follow his passion for integrative medicine, with a focus on anti-aging, wellness, prevention, and optimizing health rather than just treating diseases.

One of the notable aspects of Dr. Turner's practice is its patient-centric approach. While not strictly membership-based, patients enter into agreements with him for a 12-month period, determining the number of visits and working together on their health goals. This approach offers remarkable convenience, with patients from various locations connecting with him via video calls, making health management more accessible.

Brad Williams and Dr. Turner discuss the benefits of telehealth, allowing individuals to access specialized care regardless of their geographical location. Dr. Turner explains that while he predominantly uses video calls, some patients visit him in person, especially when physical examinations or treatments like injections are necessary.

Dr. Turner clarifies that he doesn't position himself as a primary care physician but rather as a complementary partner to primary care doctors. His focus lies in optimizing health, preventing issues, and exploring naturalistic approaches to health concerns. Patients often seek his guidance on areas like blood pressure management, with a preference for natural solutions over medication when appropriate.

He combines this with a homemade concoction consisting of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Himalayan sea salt.

His morning routine also includes black coffee, which he consumes later in the morning to allow his body to naturally elevate hormone levels before the caffeine kicks in. At 12:00 PM, he engages in a slow-paced circuit training-style workout on a treadmill with a high incline to maintain muscle mass while in a fasted state.

After his workout, Brad consumes a protein shake with essential amino acids and olive oil to ensure he meets his protein requirements for the day. He advocates the concept of "effective reps" and uses a treadmill while maintaining proper posture and breathing techniques during his workout.

Throughout the day, Brad takes a series of supplements, including vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, and others. He also relies on an electrolyte powder to balance his sodium and potassium intake.

Brad breaks his intermittent fasting with a meal of dark green vegetables, emphasizing the importance of fiber and olive oil. His dinner consists of more greens and high-quality protein sources. He also incorporates lemon juice and ginger in hot water for post-dinner detoxification and digestive health.

As a dessert and source of antioxidants, Brad enjoys a mixture of berries, including blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. He makes sure to hit his target of 200 grams of protein daily and supplements with probiotics.

Brad's routine also includes drinking hot water throughout the day to boost metabolism and detoxify his body. He acknowledges that routines may vary for individuals, and it's essential to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional as needed.

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks shares valuable insights on incorporating transverse abdominal exercises into your daily workout routine. Brad emphasizes the importance of being mindful during workouts and maximizing their effectiveness by increasing time under tension. He introduces the concept of working on the transverse abdominals, which are often overlooked but play a crucial role in core stability and appearance.

Brad explains that the transverse abdominals are a thin layer of muscle responsible for holding organs in place and providing a flatter appearance. He describes various exercises to target these muscles, including stomach vacuums, planks, active hollows, reverse planks, leg raises, and bird dog crunches, all of which require a focus on the stomach vacuum technique.

He encourages listeners to slow down their exercises and maintain mindfulness by engaging the transverse abdominals during every movement, even during common exercises like bench presses or deltoid flies. Brad highlights that this approach not only enhances muscle engagement but also burns more calories and aids in fat loss.

Ultimately, Brad's message centers on the idea that by working on these often-neglected muscles and incorporating mindfulness into your workouts, you can achieve better results, improve core stability, and enhance your overall fitness journey.

Finally, regarding movement, Brad Carlson explains his approach to staying active, which primarily involves walking for health and incorporating different walking variations for agility and coordination. He also mentions the value of occasional strength sessions.

In this episode of the "Over 40 Fitness Hacks" podcast, host Brad Williams interviews fellow health coach and podcaster, Brad Carlson. The conversation revolves around the crucial role of mindset in achieving overall health and well-being.

The discussion starts with the idea that where the mind goes, energy flows, emphasizing that what you focus on, you ultimately become.

This mindset shift, according to both Brads, is fundamental to successful health journeys.

The conversation delves into the importance of focusing on various aspects of life to improve overall health. Brad Carlson stresses the significance of generating positive energy and vibrations by focusing on desired outcomes. This shift in mindset involves concentrating on thriving, abundance, love, and happiness rather than dwelling on depression, anxiety, and stress.

Both Brads share personal experiences, highlighting the significance of adapting to changing circumstances and listening to one's body. Brad Williams discusses how his journey shifted from a focus on muscle preservation to prioritizing spinal health and overall well-being after a back injury. Brad Carlson emphasizes the importance of balance, mobility, flexibility, and agility as individuals age, pointing out that muscle mass alone won't ensure a healthy and independent future.

The discussion also addresses the idea of a "health retirement plan," emphasizing the need for daily investments in health to ensure a fulfilling and independent life as individuals age. It underscores the importance of starting the journey toward better health at any age.

The episode concludes with a reminder of the power of having a strong "why" and a higher purpose to drive one's health journey forward. Both hosts agree that a meaningful "why" is essential for sustaining positive changes and achieving long-term health and happiness.

narado@zecohealth.com ⁠www.ZecoHealth.com⁠

In this podcast interview between Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks and Zeco Narado from The Matter Over Mind Experience, the two discuss the topic of fasting. Brad shares his personal journey with fasting, highlighting its positive impact on his health, including improved cholesterol levels. Zeco emphasizes that fasting is often misunderstood and should not be solely used for weight loss. Instead, he suggests that it provides essential rest for the digestive system, lowers inflammation and oxidative stress, and teaches the body to use stored energy.

Zeco explains that fasting has historical roots as our ancestors practiced it due to seasonal food availability. He also discusses the concept of cycling ketosis, where the body switches between using carbohydrates and fats as fuel sources. They recommend starting with a 12-hour fasting window (including sleep) for most individuals, gradually extending it as one becomes more comfortable.

Brad shares his experience with an 18-hour fasting window and a 6-hour eating window, emphasizing the importance of listening to one's body when determining the ideal fasting window. He refers to his approach as "dirty keto" or intermittent keto, occasionally indulging while maintaining ketosis.

Zeco stresses that fasting should be approached with caution, especially for those new to it, as it can lead to health issues if not done correctly. He highlights the importance of adjusting fasting windows based on individual needs, goals, and activity levels.

Finally, Zeco shares his current dietary and fasting routine, explaining that he adapts it to his bulking phase, demonstrating the flexibility of fasting as a lifestyle choice. He also discusses the benefits of consuming healthy carbs like berries before bedtime for improved sleep quality.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of adapting fasting practices to individual needs and goals, listening to one's body, and maintaining a balanced approach to health and nutrition. Zeco invites the audience to connect with him on Instagram and explore his podcast and YouTube channel for more health advice and insights. Brad expresses gratitude for the opportunity to learn from Zeco's expertise.

Zeco discusses common issues, such as rushing through meals in a stress-induced state, and suggests simple practices like taking deep breaths and eating in a relaxed, parasympathetic state. He recommends going for a post-meal walk and following a plate composition that prioritizes protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy complex carbs to slow down digestion and prevent blood sugar spikes.

Brad shares his own practices, including diaphragmatic breathing, drinking water before meals, and incorporating regular walks into his routine. Zeco emphasizes the importance of not drinking liquids during meals, as it can hinder digestion.

They also touch upon digestive enzymes and how the body's enzyme production adapts to dietary changes over time. Zeco suggests using digestive enzymes temporarily during dietary transitions but advises against relying on them long-term.

Narado Zeco Powell - The Matter Over Mind Experience podcast

narado@zecohealth.com www.ZecoHealth.com

In this podcast interview between Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks and Zeco Narado from The Matter Over Mind Experience podcast, Zico shares his journey from being underweight in his childhood to achieving a healthy and fit lifestyle. Growing up in Jamaica, Zeco had a preference for snacks over cooked food, which led to his underweight condition. When he moved to the U.S. at 16, he realized the need to gain weight and started weight training and learning about nutrition.

Over the years, Zeco's weight fluctuated, but he never developed an eating disorder. However, he realized that despite being fit, he wasn't healthy. He had asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, and eczema. A pivotal moment came when he sought advice from a doctor and was only recommended medication. This spurred his journey into exploring alternative approaches to health.

Zeco began reading books by Dr. Steven Gundry and learned about lectins and anti-nutrients in plants. Initially skeptical, he started making small changes, such as sprouting beans and washing rice, practices he remembered from his grandparents. These changes gradually improved his health, including better breathing and increased energy. Zeco delved into various aspects of holistic health, including nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle changes.

Ultimately, he not only maintained a healthy weight but also improved his overall health. Inspired by his transformation, Zeco obtained certifications in fitness and nutrition, launched his own podcast, and connected with experts in the field to educate others about the importance of gut health, nutrition, and holistic well-being.

Brad Williams shared a similar journey triggered by a lower back injury, which led him to focus on gut health, allergies, and overall well-being. Both Zceo and Brad emphasize the importance of optimizing the body as one ages and the significance of the mind-body connection in maintaining health and longevity. They stress that feeling good should be prioritized over aesthetics and advocate for educating people on these vital topics through podcasts, YouTube, and discussions with health experts.

In this episode, Brad Williams, host of "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," discusses the impact of food allergies on weight loss. He begins by addressing how certain foods can cause bloating and inflammation in the body. Brad emphasizes the importance of recognizing and managing food allergies, as chronic inflammation can hinder weight loss progress.

Brad shares his personal experience with food allergies, which started with an anaphylactic shock from using NSAIDs and later from consuming whey protein concentrate. He explains how even mild allergies, like his shrimp and red wine sensitivities, can contribute to chronic inflammation. He also highlights the connection between whey protein allergies and milk protein, which led to his discovery that many cheeses contain whey protein, causing further inflammation.

To identify problematic foods, Brad recommends paying close attention to one's body and tracking symptoms, especially focusing on the upper belly area. He suggests eliminating or limiting foods that lead to bloating and inflammation to achieve better results in weight loss, protein synthesis, and hormonal regulation.

Brad also briefly mentions remedies for bloating and inflammation, such as drinking hot water with honey and lemon juice or consuming Aloe Vera. However, he stresses that these remedies should not be a substitute for a healthy diet free of inflammatory foods.

In conclusion, Brad urges listeners to listen to their bodies, closely monitor their diets, and create a list of trigger foods to reduce inflammation and improve overall well-being. He plans to explore this topic further in future episodes, emphasizing the importance of understanding and managing food allergies for better health outcomes.

The conversation also touches on common misconceptions held by women over 40, such as the fear of becoming bulky through weightlifting. Joe addresses these concerns by providing education about the challenges of building significant muscle mass and encourages a focus on lean muscle development.

The duo discusses the obsession with the scale and how Joe's approach involves shifting the emphasis away from mere weight loss. Joe explains that during the initial months of training, clients might experience an increase in weight due to muscle gain, but the ultimate goal is to lose inches and improve overall well-being. He highlights the importance of evaluating other factors like improved sleep, mood, and energy levels as indicators of progress.

Throughout the conversation, the importance of holistic wellness emerges. Joe and Brad agree that happiness and confidence come from feeling better in one's own skin, which can be achieved through a combination of movement, proper nutrition, and quality sleep. The discussion encourages listeners to prioritize their overall well-being and find joy in the journey to fitness after 40.

Rick Olderman - Fixing You Physical Therpay

www.RickOlderman.com

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks interviews Rick Olderman, an expert in pain relief and biomechanics. They delve into upper body issues, focusing on neck pain leading to headaches and the role of the shoulder girdle system in this discomfort. Rick explains that while most bones are long, the pelvis and shoulder blade are exceptions, and they discuss how these bones affect overall body mechanics.

Rick emphasizes that the shoulder blade's correct resting and movement positions are vital for upper body mechanics. Dysfunction in the shoulder blade can transmit force into the neck bones, causing pain. He introduces the "armpit test," a simple assessment to determine if the shoulder blade is the source of neck pain or headaches. Rick provides step-by-step instructions, including lifting the armpits gently to relieve tension, often resulting in increased head movement.

The conversation continues with insights into common posture misconceptions, like the belief that squeezing the shoulder blades down and back creates good posture. Rick clarifies that the shoulder blades are not meant for posture and explains a more effective approach using core engagement to support posture. He demonstrates how improper posture strategies contribute to shoulder blade dysfunction and offers a method to decouple the relationship between shoulder tension and core activation.

Rick highlights the importance of ergonomic adjustments to complement posture changes and provides a comprehensive solution for chronic shoulder dysfunction, neck pain, and headaches. He encourages early assessments and education to prevent these issues and shares his website, rickolderman.com, where listeners can access his online programs and resources. The interview ends with Rick expressing his passion for educating practitioners and individuals to understand and address biomechanical problems for improved pain relief and overall well-being.

www.RickOlderman.com

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks interviews Rick Olderman about his personal experience and insights related to chronic back pain and sciatic nerve issues. Brad shares his own journey of dealing with back pain over the past few years, starting from a weightlifting mishap that led to a herniated disc and excruciating sciatic pain. He describes how he underwent two surgeries and the subsequent struggles in his recovery process.

Rick Olderman, the guest expert, breaks down Brad's case and offers valuable insights. Rick explains that Brad's back pain and sciatic issues are not merely caused by the herniated disc, but rather a complex interplay of various factors. These include tight thigh muscles, imbalanced forces in his pelvis, and asymmetric habits of movement. Rick emphasizes that while Brad's pain has subsided, the underlying issues remain, and these patterns likely contributed to the recurrence of his herniation.

Rick delves into the biomechanics involved, such as how tight thigh muscles can pull the pelvis into an arched position, causing strain on the lower back and sciatic nerve. He introduces a simple thigh stretch technique that can provide relief by counteracting these imbalances. The stretch involves lying on a firm surface and allowing one leg to gently drop down while maintaining the opposite leg's position, which helps alleviate the forces causing pain.

Throughout the discussion, Rick offers valuable insights into the complexities of chronic back pain and emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying patterns rather than just treating the symptoms. He provides a holistic perspective on Brad's experience and offers practical advice for managing and preventing future episodes of pain. The episode concludes with Brad expressing his intent to try the suggested thigh stretch and share the results in a subsequent episode.

Rick shares his journey from struggling to help clients with chronic pain in his early career to developing a holistic approach to addressing these issues.

Rick's approach highlights the importance of viewing the body as a system and how various factors contribute to chronic pain. He discusses the limitations of component-based treatments in the medical field and how his method shifts the focus to understanding the body's systemic issues.

He describes a simple but revealing test for back pain that helps individuals identify their patterns of dysfunction. By evaluating the difference in discomfort between lying with legs straight versus knees bent, he demonstrates how common habits like standing and walking can contribute to pain. Rick emphasizes that his method empowers individuals to take control of their healing process through understanding their body's mechanics and making conscious changes to their habits.

Rick also mentions his "Fixing You" series of books and downloadable home programs that provide valuable insights and practical solutions for addressing chronic pain issues.

The Power of Effective Reps: Maximizing Muscle Growth and Fitness Success Over 40

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

In this episode of the "Over 40 Fitness Hacks" podcast, host Brad Williams delves into the concept of effective reps within the realm of weightlifting. Despite not seeing significant traction for this idea on social media, Brad takes the opportunity to explore the theory in detail. With over 15 years of experience in the fitness industry, he shares his perspective on the evolving fitness terminology and trends.

Brad starts by addressing the term "effective reps" which seems to be trending on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. He acknowledges the constant evolution of fitness jargon and the various ways experts brand different training styles. He explains that effective reps essentially involve lifting to failure while maintaining safety. He cautions against using improper techniques to squeeze out a few extra reps and emphasizes the importance of maintaining good form and control.

Brad explains that the concept applies to various training styles, including time under tension, high-intensity, and strength training. He emphasizes that the exact number of reps isn't fixed, but rather, the goal is to push each set to the point of safe muscular fatigue. Brad suggests that effective reps can lead to more muscle growth than simply chasing a set number of reps, aligning with the philosophy of quality over quantity.

He also touches on the idea of varying exercise routines based on what feels good and maintaining a mind-muscle connection. He encourages listeners to enjoy their workouts and adjust their routines flexibly, even moving between exercises to maintain engagement and target different muscle groups.

Brad concludes the episode by expressing his endorsement of the effective reps theory, considering its alignment with his existing philosophy of time under tension. He contemplates implementing this approach for his clients from the very first set, suggesting that even lighter weights can be effective when lifted to failure.

Brad emphasizes the significance of movement, highlighting that counting steps and engaging in any form of physical activity matters. He shares his experience during the pandemic, stressing how even with regular workouts, a lack of movement impacted his overall health.

Diet is another focal point, where Brad advocates for a mindful approach to eating. He discusses the importance of clean, nutrient-dense foods and the variations in nutrient content due to farming practices. Brad suggests prioritizing local, organic options and touches on the "clean 15" and "dirty dozen" foods in relation to pesticide exposure.

Liver Supplement

*As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

In a recent podcast episode of "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," host Brad Williams delves into the age-old debate of whether to go all in on one specific fitness category or adopt a more comprehensive approach to health. With a background in personal training spanning over 14 years, Brad offers insights tailored to individuals over 40 who aim to defy the aging process without sacrificing their social lives. The episode centers around the idea that finding a harmonious balance between various fitness aspects can yield superior results and longevity.

Brad begins by enumerating some of the classic fitness archetypes, including bodybuilders, avid runners, and dedicated swimmers. These individuals often dedicate substantial time and effort to mastering their chosen discipline. However, Brad introduces an intriguing alternative – the concept of an overall health strategy. Instead of focusing solely on a singular fitness goal, he suggests exploring various aspects of health to create a holistic approach that benefits the body and mind.

Dabbling in a variety of health facets can have a synergistic effect, leading to improved overall results compared to the more extreme approach of specializing in just one aspect. Brad discusses the significance of maintaining organ health, particularly the liver. He reflects on his own journey, highlighting the insights he gained from an episode featuring Dr. Holly Lucille, who emphasized the importance of liver health for metabolic efficiency. This realization prompted Brad to prioritize liver health through dietary changes and supplements, demonstrating his commitment to a multifaceted health approach.

Brad also introduces the role of mineralized water in maintaining health. Drawing from an interview with Tim Kelly, he emphasizes the benefits of mineral-rich water in supporting blood flow, while also discussing its potential to aid in achieving a more alkaline body state. Brad highlights the importance of balancing acidity and alkalinity, pointing out that an alkaline state may have health benefits, as suggested by some studies.

One of the key takeaways from the episode is the significance of regular blood work checks. Brad speaks from personal experience, describing his frequent blood work routines as part of his "biohacking" journey. He recommends that listeners visit their doctors for blood work at least annually to track their health progress and identify potential concerns early.

The program is unique because it offers free access for the first three months after birth, making it accessible and affordable for new mothers.

Peter emphasizes the importance of continuing to work on core and glute strength during pregnancy, as it can aid in the labor process and postpartum recovery.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams interviews Peter Lap from The Healthy Post Natal Body podcast to discuss pre and postnatal fitness. Brad admits his limited knowledge about the topic, and Peter shares valuable insights. They talk about exercising during pregnancy, emphasizing the importance of getting marching orders from a doctor and understanding the reasons behind certain restrictions.

Peter explains that women can continue most activities they were comfortable with before pregnancy in the first two trimesters. However, in the third trimester, they should avoid lying on their back, as it puts pressure on the vena cava and affects blood flow to the heart. Peter stresses the significance of blood flow during pregnancy and postpartum.

Regarding prenatal exercise, Peter advises women to keep doing activities they enjoy but avoid raising their heart rate above 70% of maximum capacity. The goal is to have a smooth postpartum recovery, and Peter suggests doing core exercises, especially rotational and anti-rotational exercises, to maintain core strength. He also emphasizes the importance of resistance training during pregnancy to improve posture and prevent issues like back and neck pain.

The conversation shifts to common postpartum issues, such as separation of stomach muscles and pelvic floor prolapse, which Peter says are natural after giving birth. He notes that many women are not adequately informed about these issues and the benefits of exercising during and after pregnancy. Peter believes that with the right exercise and proper guidance, most postpartum issues can be fixed.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams interviews Peter Lap, the host of The Healthy Post Natal Body podcast. Peter shares his journey from being a project manager to becoming a personal trainer about 12 years ago. He found his niche in training women between the ages of 25 and postpartum.

Peter explains how he stumbled upon the postnatal training field when one of his American personal trainer friends complained about losing clients after they became pregnant. Realizing the potential in this area, Peter decided to get qualified in postnatal fitness and started offering specialized services. He became one of the few trainers in his area, Edinburgh, Scotland, focusing on postpartum fitness, even though it wasn't a common concept back then.

He emphasizes how postpartum fitness was not considered a significant concern at that time, and women often faced issues like abdominal separation, pelvic floor problems, and back pain without any proper solutions. Through writing articles and collaborating with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Peter became known as the go-to expert for postpartum fitness.

Brad and Peter discuss the importance of finding one's niche in the competitive personal training industry. Peter advises that if a trainer isn't comfortable working with certain clientele, they should refer them to a more suitable trainer to ensure the best results for the clients. Brad, being a gym owner, highlights the benefits of knowing each trainer's specialization, allowing him to match clients with trainers who align best with their goals.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams discusses the concept of being functionally fit, which he defines as the ability to move in various directions and planes without pain, and with a feeling of strength to transition easily between positions. He emphasizes the importance of balanced training and mobility for maintaining functional fitness as one ages.

Brad focuses on mobility issues concerning the ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder joints. For ankle mobility, he suggests using balanced disks for squats and single-leg squats to work on smaller muscles around the joints. He also demonstrates an ankle mobility test using a wall and a fist to check flexibility.

Moving to knee exercises, Brad highlights balanced training and physical therapy exercises like kick-ups to strengthen smaller knee muscles and improve rotational aspects.

For hip mobility, he recommends exercises like straight leg kickouts and hip abductor stretches to enhance flexibility and prevent injuries, even for those not seeking high-level athleticism.

Finally, Brad delves into shoulder mobility exercises, including wall glides and long lever stretches, which help improve shoulder and thoracic spine flexibility.

Throughout the episode, he emphasizes starting with low weights and slow movements to avoid injury, especially for those over 40 with sedentary jobs that can lead to reduced joint mobility. Brad encourages listeners to explore joint mobility exercises to maintain functional fitness and improve overall well-being as they age.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams discusses the challenges of navigating fitness advice on social media, particularly videos on YouTube and TikTok. As a personal trainer with over 15 years of experience, Brad emphasizes the importance of being open-minded and exploring various exercises and fitness concepts.

He mentions seeing conflicting information from different sources, including personal trainers, physical therapists, and chiropractors. While he appreciates the diversity of content available, Brad observes that some individuals on social media can be one-track-minded, insisting their way is the only right approach.

Brad addresses specific topics he encountered on social media. For example, he discusses a young person promoting hack squats and machine-based leg exercises as the best option for leg development. While acknowledging the benefits of such exercises for strength and power, Brad emphasizes the importance of including other exercises to target different muscle fibers and promote joint health and balance.

He also addresses misconceptions about balance training, noting the significance of incorporating exercises using tools like Bosu balls and balance discs to strengthen stabilizer muscles and improve overall balance.

Regarding leg extensions, Brad shares that while some physical therapists caution against them due to potential knee stress, they can still be beneficial if not done excessively. He encourages variety in workouts and advises against performing any exercise daily to avoid overstraining specific body parts.

Lastly, Brad discusses core exercises, such as planks and hollows, and their importance for building a strong core. He highlights that while some trainers and therapists express concerns about exercises involving spinal flexion, moderate use can be suitable for most individuals, as long as they don't have pre-existing conditions or perform them excessively.

He starts by explaining that amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and can be obtained from meat and other dietary sources. However, essential amino acids and branch chain amino acids have higher bioavailability and are easier for the body to absorb.

Brad shares his personal experience with branch chain amino acids, noting that they can provide a slight energy boost during workouts, especially when combined with caffeine. He points out that if one already follows a balanced diet with sufficient protein intake, using these supplements may not be necessary.

The focus then shifts to essential amino acids, which are the nine amino acids the body cannot produce on its own and must be ingested or supplemented. Brad expresses his preference for essential amino acids over branch chain amino acids due to the comprehensive health benefits they offer. He mentions that taking essential amino acids in the morning helps him during his intermittent fasting routine and supports muscle development and recovery.

Brad acknowledges that essential amino acids in their raw form taste unpleasant, but he found a way to make them more palatable by adding lime or lemon juice and cayenne pepper. He mentions using a glucose monitoring software called NutraSense to optimize his fasting and nutrient intake.

In conclusion, Brad encourages listeners to find what works best for them, considering individual goals and budgets when exploring different supplements. He believes that essential amino acids have proven beneficial for him personally and recommends trying them to see if they fit well into one's fitness routine.

In this podcast episode, host Brad Williams from "Over 40 Fitness Hacks" interviews Lynne Wadsworth from the "Living Life Naturally" podcast. They discuss the challenges faced by individuals over 40, particularly women going through menopause, and the adjustments needed for maintaining overall health and fitness.

Lynne emphasizes the need to adjust and change fitness routines as our bodies change with age. Many people struggle to lose weight and maintain their previous fitness levels after reaching their 40s, and this can be particularly challenging for women going through menopause. Lynne advises that the process begins with a shift in mindset, especially as people may be experiencing life changes such as empty nest syndrome and questioning their life's direction.

She highlights the importance of being in tune with one's body, as sensitivities to certain foods may develop with age, leading to bloating or weight gain. Lynne encourages keeping a journal to track how different foods affect the body, helping to identify potential sensitivities.

Brad shares his personal experience of adjusting his fitness routine in his 40s and learning to listen to his body's signals. He also mentions the importance of intermittent fasting and finding the right balance between exercise and rest to manage stress levels and improve results.

Regarding menopausal stages, Lynne advises women to consider natural alternatives to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and suggests working with a knowledgeable professional to understand how to balance hormones effectively. She also mentions the positive impact of exercise in balancing hormones and reducing menopausal symptoms.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams interviews Tracy, an integrative health coach who specializes in women over 50. The focus of the episode is on the concepts of overeating and under eating, as well as the importance of consuming quality protein. Tracy explains that many women tend to undereat when trying to lose weight, which is counterproductive as the body holds onto fat stores in response. Increasing protein intake, particularly from quality sources, can help release body fat. Brad agrees and emphasizes the benefits of protein for calorie burning, muscle building, and maintaining a healthy metabolic rate.

They also discuss the importance of maintaining a sustainable and balanced approach to nutrition, rather than resorting to extreme calorie restriction. Tracy suggests treating oneself with the same love and care as you would a small child. They highlight the advantages of eating clean, whole foods, and the satisfaction and satiety provided by high-quality protein. Tracy shares her favorite trick of making bone broth vegetable soup, which is nutrient-dense, filling, and easy to prepare.

The conversation then shifts to the topic of plant-based diets, with Tracy expressing her view that they may not be suitable for everyone. While she promotes eating plenty of plants, she believes that high-quality meat can be beneficial for most people, cautioning against consuming factory-farmed meats filled with hormones and antibiotics. Tracy shares her concerns about soy consumption and emphasizes the importance of enzymes and probiotics for optimal digestion and gut health. Brad reflects on his own experience trying a vegan diet and the challenges he faced with meeting protein needs while avoiding excessive carbohydrate intake.

In the podcast episode titled "The Power of Strength Training for Women Over 50," Brad Williams from the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast interviews Tracy from the High Energy Girl podcast. Tracy, an integrative health coach specializing in strength training for women over 50, shares her personal story and expertise on the subject. The conversation delves into the importance of strength training, dispelling myths, and addressing the concept of being "skinny fat."

In the episode, Tracy discusses her own experience as a former cardio enthusiast and the toll it took on her knees. Realizing the need for a change, she turned to weightlifting and eventually joined CrossFit. At 57, Tracy has become stronger than ever before, highlighting the significance of strength training for women over 50.

Tracy emphasizes several key benefits of strength training for women. Firstly, it helps burn more calories even while at rest, as active metabolic tissue requires energy. Additionally, strength training helps combat muscle loss associated with age, specifically during menopause, preventing the frail and weakened appearance commonly seen in older women. It also contributes to stronger bones, reducing the risk of falls and fractures.

Contrary to popular belief, Tracy debunks the myth that weightlifting will make women bulky. She explains that achieving a muscular physique like bodybuilders requires specific training and dietary practices. For most women, strength training simply results in a lean and toned physique.

The conversation also touches upon the importance of flexibility and mobility training. Tracy highlights the role of yin yoga in improving joint health and maintaining fluidity of movement, which reduces the risk of injuries. The incorporation of functional exercises and balance training further enhances overall physical well-being.

Tracy and Brad discuss the empowering effects of strength training on both the body and mind. They emphasize the connection between physical strength and mental fortitude, encouraging women to embrace strength training as a means of building resilience and confidence. The episode concludes with the reminder that regardless of age, it is never too late to start a fitness journey and reap the benefits of strength training.

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast interviews Tracy from the High Energy Girl podcast. Tracy is an integrative health coach and personal trainer who shares valuable insights on nutrition, finding nutrient-dense foods, and taking care of kids' health. They also touch on the topic of skincare products. Tracy emphasizes the importance of eating clean and dispels common misconceptions about nutrition. She talks about her own transformation from feeding her kids fast food and processed meals to helping them develop healthier eating habits. Tracy now focuses on assisting women over 50 in improving their health and strength.

Brad and Tracy discuss the challenges of navigating conflicting information on nutrition, including the contradictory claims made in documentaries about vegan and carnivore diets. They agree that processed foods are generally unhealthy, but Tracy points out that not all processed foods are bad, as long as they are clean and fit into a balanced lifestyle. They highlight the need for better education about nutrition and the impact of childhood obesity on long-term health.

The conversation moves on to the topic of where to shop for healthy foods. Tracy suggests that local farmer's markets and seasonal produce are the best options. She explains that even organic produce that is shipped long distances may lose nutrients and freshness during the transportation process. Brad shares his experience with hydroponics and growing his own herbs and vegetables, and Tracy mentions that her husband used to be a farmer.

They also discuss the importance of being aware of contaminants and pesticides in food. Brad mentions a website that provides information on the "dirty dozen" and the "clean 15" produce, which can guide consumers in making healthier choices. Tracy adds that a similar website exists for skincare products, which can help individuals avoid harmful chemicals in their personal care routines.

In an episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams interviews Carol Covino, a fitness and nutrition specialist, who shares valuable insights on training and boosting energy levels for women over 50. The conversation revolves around the importance of mitochondrial health and its impact on maintaining youthful energy levels. Both Brad and Carol emphasize the role of mitochondria as the "little energy centers or batteries" of cells and discuss the detrimental effects of inflammation on mitochondrial health.

Intermittent fasting emerges as a prominent practice recommended by both Brad and Carol. They highlight the benefits of a 12 to 16-hour fasting window, which allows for digestive rest and rejuvenation of cells and mitochondria. By giving the body a chance to "take out the trash" and promote autophagy, intermittent fasting becomes an integral part of a fitness routine for women over 50.

The conversation also explores the influence of stress, exercise, and nutrition on mitochondria. Carol stresses the need for women to modify their exercise and diet routines as they approach menopause to preserve bone density, strength, muscle mass, and overall health. She cautions against overexercising and excessive cardio, advocating for a balance that includes weight training and hormetic stressors.

Supplementation is another topic of discussion, with Carol mentioning the use of L-carnitine and creatine. L-carnitine is credited for facilitating the process of fat burning and potentially supporting healthy mitochondria, while creatine is recognized for its energy-boosting properties and potential benefits for brain health.

The episode concludes with Carol sharing her website, podcast (Forever Fit Podcast), and upcoming book, along with her online programs aimed at helping women achieve sustainable fat loss, increased muscle strength, and improved energy levels. Brad expresses his appreciation for the valuable insights provided by health and wellness professionals like Carol and the continuous learning opportunities they offer to listeners.

Carol relates to Brad's experience, having faced her own back problems and injuries.

Brad discusses his approach to recovery, including slowing down, listening to his body, and making choices that make him feel good. He emphasizes the need to adapt exercises to accommodate individual limitations and prioritize longevity.

Carol shares her experience of journaling her exercises and revamping her workout plan after back injuries. They both agree that progressive overload and finding alternative ways to stimulate muscles are key strategies for maintaining strength and avoiding injury.

In this episode of the "Over 40 Fitness Hacks" podcast, host Brad Williams interviews Dr. Carl Giordano, an aging expert, to discuss the latest research and experiments on longevity. Dr. Carl provides insights on supplements and lifestyle changes that can help individuals reach the century mark and beyond. He emphasizes the importance of vitamin D and B12 for bone health, immune function, and brain health, while also discussing the role of omega-3 fatty acids and the potential risks of an excessive omega-6 intake.

The conversation then shifts to the concept of signal molecules, which stimulate specific genetic pathways related to healthspan and lifespan.

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad interviews Dr. Carl Giordano to discuss the current state of research on longevity and what individuals can do to increase their lifespan. They cover three main categories: diet, exercise, and signal molecules.

Regarding diet, Dr. Giordano explains that the Mediterranean diet, which is low in protein and high in complex carbohydrates, has been associated with improved health span and longevity. He emphasizes the importance of complex carbohydrates that break down slowly in the body, avoiding glucose spikes caused by simple carbohydrates.

Fasting is also discussed as a beneficial practice that stimulates autophagy. Intermittent fasting can have positive effects on various cells in the body, while longer fasting periods, such as 24 hours or more, are needed for deep brain autophagy.

Moving on to exercise, Dr. Giordano explains that there are four categories to focus on: strength training, aerobic conditioning, balance and function, and stretching. It is essential to engage in all of these categories throughout life, as muscle mass, strength, balance, and coordination naturally decline with age.

Overall, the conversation provides insights into the importance of diet, fasting, and exercise in promoting longevity and highlights the cellular mechanisms involved in these practices. The discussion encourages individuals, especially those over 40, to adopt a holistic approach to their health and well-being by considering the three categories discussed and making informed choices based on scientific evidence.

In this podcast episode, Brad, the host of "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," interviews Dr. Carl Giordano, an aging expert and orthopedic spine surgeon. They discuss the process of aging and whether it can be considered a disease that can be reversed.

Dr. Giordano emphasizes that while genetics may contribute about 20% to an individual's health span, approximately 80% is determined by their own environmental choices and how they influence their DNA and genome. He mentions that the modern environment, with thinner ozone layers, increased exposure to toxins, pollutants, and unhealthy dietary practices, can accelerate the loss of cellular identity and lead to the surge in chronic illnesses like diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Giordano explains that while average lifespans have increased, chronic diseases have also become more prevalent. He attributes this to the introduction of harmful substances like seed oils and sugars into the diet, which affect cellular efficiency and accelerate the aging process. The change in omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratios in the body's composition is highlighted as an example.

The conversation emphasizes the need for a shift towards preventive medicine and making healthier choices in terms of exercise, diet, and environmental factors. Dr. Giordano acknowledges that measuring health span and lifespan can be challenging due to the cumulative nature of the effects and individual variations in lifestyle choices.

Gin Stephens - Intermittent Fasting Stories Podcast

In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams interviews Gin Stephens from the Intermittent Fasting Stories podcast. They delve into the topic of clean fasting versus dirty fasting and discuss Brad's fasting regimen, which he believed was clean until Jen Stevens, a fasting expert, pointed out some flaws.

Brad describes his 18-hour fasting window, which includes sleep and involves consuming water, a detox drink with apple cider vinegar and spices, black coffee, and tea. However, Jen highlights that the detox drink may not be beneficial for detoxification and advises against its inclusion in fasting.

Jen further explains the three fasting goals outlined in her book, "Fast. Feast. Repeat." The first goal is to keep insulin levels low. Foods or beverages that provoke an insulin response should be avoided during fasting, including sweet-tasting herbs, spices, and beverages.

Brad raises concerns about caffeine in black coffee and its impact on insulin response. Jen clarifies that caffeine does not trigger an insulin response and may even enhance fat burning. She emphasizes that caffeine does not hinder autophagy.

In closing, Jen shares information about her books, "Delay, Don't Deny," "Fast. Feast. Repeat," and "Clean(ish)," as well as her podcast, "Intermittent Fasting Stories." She emphasizes that intermittent fasting is accessible to everyone and has proven benefits for regular people looking to improve their health and well-being.

Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the concept of clean fasting versus dirty fasting, debunking misconceptions and providing guidance on optimizing the benefits of intermittent fasting.

https://www.ginstephens.com/

In this podcast episode, Brad from the Over 40 Fitness Hacks Podcast interviews Gin Stephens from the Intermittent Fasting Stories Podcast to discuss intermittent fasting and its benefits. They address the confusion surrounding different versions of fasting and whether it is suitable for both men and women of all ages.

Gin shares that intermittent fasting involves alternating periods of eating and not eating. The most common approach is time-restricted eating, where individuals have a daily eating window during which they consume their meals. Gin follows a 19:5 fasting schedule, meaning she fasts for 19 hours and has a 5-hour eating window. She emphasizes that intermittent fasting is not about extreme calorie restriction but rather about the timing of meals.

They also touch on the topic of longer fasting and its potential benefits. Gin warns against excessive fasting beyond 72 hours unless under medical supervision and for specific health purposes. She mentions that alternate daily fasting, which involves a 36-hour fast followed by a 12-hour eating period, is a well-researched fasting protocol that balances fat loss and metabolic boosting.

Brad shares his experience with intermittent fasting, including his 18:6 fasting schedule and occasional longer fasts. He explains that he ventured into longer fasting not primarily for weight loss but to experience the autophagy effect and the potential benefits of body cleansing. He noticed improvements in his cholesterol levels after four months of intermittent fasting, particularly from the longer fasting periods.

Overall, the podcast episode provides an overview of intermittent fasting, addresses concerns about women and fasting, and discusses the potential benefits and limitations of longer fasting periods. Gin and Brad emphasize that fasting should be approached with moderation and personalized to individual needs and health conditions.

Interviewed By Nate Sleger - Begin Within Podcast

Begin Within Podcast

In this engaging podcast episode, host Nate Slugger interviews fitness expert Brad Williams, delving into his top fitness hacks specifically tailored for individuals over 40.

One of Brad's primary recommendations for weight management and overall well-being is fasting. He emphasizes that finding a diet that works for you is crucial, and fasting has been a game-changer for him personally. Brad advocates for intermittent fasting, where one eats within shorter time windows, allowing the body a longer period of fasting.

Beyond specific diets, Brad highlights the importance of self-experimentation and staying informed about various fitness approaches. As a personal trainer, he believes it is essential to explore different diets and exercise programs to better guide and support clients.

Micronutrients play a significant role in overall health, and Brad emphasizes the importance of tracking them, particularly potassium. He shares his discovery that many diet trackers may not display all the necessary mineral information, prompting him to recommend the use of websites like EatThisMuch.com to obtain comprehensive nutritional data.

Brad reveals that potassium deficiency is a common issue, and by addressing it through diet, individuals can experience a range of benefits, including improved electrolyte balance and potential reductions in blood pressure. He suggests incorporating potassium-rich foods like avocados, bananas, and coconut water into one's diet, and urges listeners to track their nutrient intake for a day to gain insight into their own deficiencies.

In the spirit of accountability, Brad stresses the significance of seeking support when embarking on a fitness journey, especially for individuals over 40. Whether it be working with a personal trainer, joining an online coaching program, or consulting a physical therapist, having someone to provide guidance, motivation, and ensure proper form is essential.

Vitruvian Trainer - Top Pick

MaxPro Home Gym - Runner Up

In this podcast episode, I, Brad Williams, a personal trainer with expertise in helping people over 40, review various smart home workout machines. I share my experience of exploring these machines and provide pros and cons for each option. My sister recently remodeled her house and was convinced to invest in a smart home workout machine, particularly the Tonal machine. However, after thoroughly researching different options, we ended up choosing a brand-new machine that I discovered through a TikTok ad.

I discuss my preference for building my own gym with affordable equipment, as it provides more variety and options compared to smart home workout machines. Nevertheless, I recognize the appeal of these machines and proceed to review them for listeners who may be interested.

I start with the Magic Mirror, which lacks weights and cable systems, making it less versatile and engaging for users in the long run. The Peloton, similar to the Magic Mirror, eventually becomes monotonous for many users.

Then I dive into the Tonal machine, which offers weight training and a pulley system for various exercises. However, it comes with a hefty price tag of around $4,000, plus a required membership fee. While it is space-saving and supports up to 200 pounds, it may not provide enough variety for everyone's workout routine.

Next, I discuss the Speedy Jim Monster Home Gym, which resembles a smaller version of the Tonal with added cables, a bench, and a rowing feature. Although it lacks the sleek design of the Tonal, it offers more cardio options and doesn't require a subscription fee. It is also foldable and saves space, but it focuses on concentric movements, providing resistance only during the lifting phase.

I then move on to the Vitruvian Form Trainer, a platform resembling a step, with cable handles for a range of exercises. It includes a bench and supports concentric and eccentric movements, making it ideal for the over-40 crowd. However, it lacks anchor points for certain exercises, and its weight limit of 440 pounds may not be suitable for everyone.

Another option is the Tempo Studio, which resembles a large Magic Mirror with smart weights. These weights can track motion speed and provide workout statistics on the LCD screen. While it is a space-saving option and offers weight tracking, its maximum weight capacity may not be sufficient for some users.

Finally, I discuss the Max Pro Smart Connect, a foldable and portable machine similar to a skinny snowboard. This device, featured on Shark Tank, is endorsed by Shaquille O'Neal. It connects to a phone app, tracks progress, and can be mounted on a rail, making it suitable for travel. However, it lacks eccentric movement resistance and may have issues with cord lengths and uneven pressure.

After reviewing all these options, I express a preference for the Max Pro Smart Connect due to its portability and affordability. However, I advise considering individual fitness goals and preferences before making a final decision.

In this podcast episode, I review various body fat analyzers that he has used over the years. He mentions different types of analyzers, including scales, handheld devices, professional-grade machines like hydrostatic weighing, and Caliper testing performed by skilled personal trainers.

Certain devices, such as scales use electrical impedance to measure body composition. He finds them inaccurate, especially if factors like drinking alcohol, consuming salty food, or exercising prior to measurement are present. Such devices require a clean body to provide somewhat accurate results.

Among the analyzers, I recommended the InBody machine, which provides a comprehensive analysis of bone, muscle, fat, and water weight. However, he it can also be affected by factors like alcohol consumption or dietary choices.

The Omron handheld device, relies heavily on traditional BMI charts that he considers unreliable, particularly for individuals with a good amount of muscle.

I introduce a product called ZozoFit, which I personally bought after seeing it advertised on TikTok. ZozoFit is a set of pajamas with circular dots and checkmarks that you place on specific body parts. It requires the use of an app and utilizes the light from a ring light or a similar device to capture images and analyze the size of the dots. It also requires the user to input their weight and height. The device generates a 3D scan image of the body and provides progress indicators for target areas.

Overall, I go into various body fat analyzers, highlighting the importance of finding a device that works for each individual's needs and preferences. I provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of different analyzers and encourage listeners to choose tools that motivate them to stay on track with their fitness goals.

N101 Nitric Oxide

The Truth About Nitric Oxide Being An Anti Aging Miracle

Hey everyone, welcome back to my podcast. Today, I want to dive into the world of nitric oxide and explore the benefits, myths, and misconceptions surrounding it. Recently, I came across a certain company, N101, who was talking about how poor the supplements L-Arginine and L-Citrilline actually were for nitric oxide production in the body. I decided to do my own research to find out more, and here’s what I discovered.

Segment 1: Nitric Oxide 101

Let's start with the basics. Nitric oxide is a molecule that the body produces naturally. It plays a crucial role in blood flow, cardiovascular health, and athletic performance. As we age, nitric oxide levels decrease, which can lead to various health conditions.

Segment 2: The Benefits of Nitric Oxide

I was surprised to learn about the numerous benefits of nitric oxide. It can improve cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, enhance athletic performance, and increase endurance. Nitric oxide may also have potential benefits for brain health, sexual health, and overall immune function.

Segment 3: The Myths and Misconceptions

I came across many myths and misconceptions about nitric oxide during my research. One of the most common myths is that supplements like L-Arginine and L-Citrilline are effective in increasing nitric oxide levels. While the body can convert L-Citrilline to L-Arginine, which can then be used to produce nitric oxide, some studies have shown that these supplements may not be as effective as previously believed.

Segment 4: N101’s Claims About L-Arginine and L-Citrilline

I was intrigued by N101’s claims about L-Arginine and L-Citrilline, and I decided to try the product myself and have been surprised with the results.

In this episode of our podcast, I will be sharing my personal experience with hip mobility and back pain caused by a herniated disc. I have been perfecting my morning routine and constantly searching for newer and better exercises to manage my condition.

Through my search, I discovered that Tik Tok has been an incredible resource for discovering new exercises that specifically target back pain. On Tik Tok, I found videos of physical therapists, chiropractors, and fitness experts who shared a wealth of information on various types of exercises that have helped alleviate back pain for many people.

In this episode, I emphasize the importance of not giving up in the search for exercises that work for your body. Everyone's body is different, and it's essential to keep exploring different options until you find the exercises that best suit your body and condition.

To conclude, if you're dealing with back pain caused by a herniated disc or any other condition, it's essential to prioritize your hip mobility and incorporate exercises into your daily routine that can help alleviate the pain. With persistence and dedication, you can improve your overall well-being and live a pain-free life.

How to Get Enough Protein in Your Meals Every Day

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad: MassEnzymes Link

How to Get Enough Protein in Your Meals Every Day

Before we dive into how to get enough protein, let's discuss what it is and why it's important. Protein is an essential macronutrient that helps build and repair tissues in our body. It's crucial for maintaining and building muscle, bone, skin, and hair, as well as producing enzymes, hormones, and other vital molecules. Without adequate protein intake, our bodies can suffer from muscle loss, weaker bones, slower wound healing, and other health issues.

Practical Strategies for Getting Enough Protein

Start your day with protein: Instead of sugary cereals or toast, opt for protein-rich breakfast options like eggs, Greek yogurt, or protein shakes.
Incorporate protein in snacks: Choose protein-rich snacks like nuts, cheese, or beef jerky to help meet your protein needs throughout the day.
Plan ahead for meals: If you struggle to get enough protein, plan your meals ahead of time and include protein sources like chicken, fish, tofu, or legumes.
Experiment with protein supplements: Protein powders, bars, and shakes can be a convenient way to boost your protein intake, especially if you're on the go or have a busy lifestyle.
Don't forget about plant-based protein sources: If you're vegetarian or vegan, there are plenty of protein-rich plant-based options like quinoa, lentils, chickpeas, and EDAMAME!

Hormonal Issues: Why Diet and Exercise May Not Be Enough

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jannine Krause, a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist, to discuss the various hormonal issues that can affect both men and women, even if they have a perfect diet and exercise regimen.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing energy and driving cellular metabolism. As we age, our mitochondrial function declines, leading to a variety of health problems. But fear not, because in this episode, we'll be exploring the best ways to increase the number of mitochondria someone over the age of 40 can get.

So, how can we increase the number of mitochondria in our cells? One way is through exercise.

In particular, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to be particularly effective at increasing mitochondrial biogenesis.

Another way to increase mitochondrial function is through dietary changes. Certain nutrients, such as CoQ10, carnitine, and alpha-lipoic acid, have been shown to support mitochondrial function. Additionally, reducing the intake of processed foods and increasing consumption of nutrient-dense whole foods can also support mitochondrial health.

Conclusion: In conclusion, mitochondrial health is crucial for overall health and wellness, and there are many ways to support and improve mitochondrial function. By incorporating exercise, dietary changes, supplements, and therapies, it is possible to increase the number of mitochondria in our cells and support overall mitochondrial function.

What Is Metabolic Flexibility And What It Can Do For You

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

Intro:

Welcome to the podcast episode about Metabolic Flexibility.
In this episode, we’ll explore the theory behind Metabolic Flexibility, how it works, and the benefits of achieving it.
I have been researching this topic a lot lately and attribute most of my knowledge to Dr. Gundry.

Segment 1: What is Metabolic Flexibility?

I explain that Metabolic Flexibility is the ability of our body to switch between using different sources of fuel, such as carbohydrates, fats, and ketones, depending on the availability and demands of our body.
I explain how our body prefers to use glucose as its primary fuel source, which comes from carbohydrates, but it can also use fats and ketones for energy.
I discuss the importance of achieving Metabolic Flexibility for overall health, weight management, and athletic performance.

Segment 2: Achieving Metabolic Flexibility through Diet

I explain that one way to achieve Metabolic Flexibility is through diet.
I discuss how to cycle between low-carbohydrate and high-carbohydrate diets to condition our body to switch between using fats and carbohydrates as fuel sources.
I share practical tips on how to implement these cycles and what foods to include in each cycle.
I discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each cycle and how to personalize it based on individual needs and goals.

How To Level Up Your Daily Eating Routine

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

In this episode, I will be sharing my new daily routine and how it was influenced by various health and wellness professionals I have met online. These professionals include nutritionists, chiropractors, personal trainers, and online coaches. I will be discussing the changes I have made to my daily routine and how they have impacted my overall health and well-being. Segment 1: Less Coffee and Delaying First Cup One of the changes I made was to reduce my coffee intake and delay my first cup of coffee for at least an hour after waking up. This advice came from a nutritionist who emphasized the importance of giving my body time to wake up naturally before introducing caffeine. I noticed that I had more sustained energy throughout the day by doing this. Segment 2: Not Breaking My Fast with Vitamins and Supplements Another change I made was to not break my fast in the morning with vitamins, supplements, or even apple cider vinegar. I learned this from an online coach who explained that consuming anything other than water or black coffee could break my fast and affect my body's ability to fully utilize stored fat for energy. I found that I was able to maintain my fast longer and had better digestion by following this advice. Segment 3: Eating Eggs Every Day A personal trainer recommended incorporating eggs into my daily diet. Eggs are a great source of protein and nutrients, and they are easy to prepare. I have found that eating eggs for breakfast keeps me full and satisfied for longer periods, which helps me avoid snacking throughout the day. Segment 4: Eating Berries Before Bed Lastly, a chiropractor recommended eating berries towards the end of the night to help improve sleep quality. Berries contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce inflammation in the body and improve sleep. I have noticed that I fall asleep faster and have a more restful night's sleep since incorporating this into my routine. Conclusion: In conclusion, by incorporating the advice of health and wellness professionals into my daily routine, I have noticed significant improvements in my overall health and well-being. I encourage listeners to research and explore the advice of professionals in these areas to find what works best for them. Thank you for listening to this episode, and I hope you found it informative and helpful.

Carrie is passionate about helping people achieve optimal health through nutrition and lifestyle choices. We start off by discussing the digestive system and its role in our overall health. Carrie explains that the digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. Poor digestive health can lead to a range of health problems, including nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Carrie emphasizes the importance of having a healthy gut microbiome, which is made up of trillions of bacteria that live in our digestive tract. These bacteria play a crucial role in our digestion, immunity, and overall health. She explains that a healthy gut microbiome can help prevent diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. We then dive into some practical tips for improving digestive health. Carrie recommends eating a varied diet rich in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. She also emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated and avoiding processed foods and sugar. Carrie also discusses the role of probiotics and prebiotics in promoting digestive health. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can be found in fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are a type of fiber that feeds the good bacteria in our gut. Prebiotics can be found in foods such as garlic, onions, and bananas. We wrap up the episode by discussing the importance of listening to our bodies and paying attention to any digestive symptoms we may be experiencing. Carrie explains that digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and constipation are often a sign of an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. Overall, this episode highlights the importance of digestive health in promoting overall health and preventing disease. Carrie provides practical tips and insights for improving digestive health through nutrition and lifestyle choices. We hope this episode inspires listeners to take care of their digestive health and make positive changes to support their overall well-being.

Clean Eating: A Guide to Choosing the Safest Fruits, Veggies, and Fish

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad: Introduction: Welcome to today's episode where we're going to talk about clean eating and how to choose the safest fruits, veggies, and fish to consume. Our information comes from a yearly report by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), which provides guidance on the most contaminated produce and the cleanest options available. Segment 1: What is Clean Eating? To start things off, we'll define what clean eating means. Clean eating is a way of eating that involves choosing whole, unprocessed foods that are free from additives, preservatives, and chemicals. The idea is to eat foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. Eating clean can improve your health, help you maintain a healthy weight, and provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function properly. Segment 2: The Environmental Working Group (EWG) Next, we'll discuss the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and their yearly report on the most contaminated fruits and vegetables. The EWG is a non-profit organization that conducts research and advocacy work on issues related to the environment and public health. Every year, they release a report called the Dirty Dozen, which lists the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and the Clean Fifteen, which lists the safest produce to consume. Segment 3: The Dirty Dozen In this segment, we'll dive into the Dirty Dozen list and discuss the fruits and vegetables that are most heavily contaminated with pesticides and other chemicals. Some of the items on the list include strawberries, spinach, kale, and apples. We'll talk about why these foods are so contaminated and the potential health risks associated with consuming them in large amounts. Segment 4: The Clean Fifteen Moving on to the Clean Fifteen list, we'll discuss the fruits and vegetables that are the safest to consume. These items include avocados, sweet corn, pineapple, and papaya, among others. We'll talk about why these foods are the cleanest and what makes them good options for those who want to eat clean. Segment 5: Choosing Clean Fish Finally, we'll talk about how to choose clean fish. Fish can be a healthy and nutritious part of a clean eating diet, but some types of fish can be contaminated with mercury and other toxins. We'll discuss the types of fish that are safest to eat and provide tips on how to choose and prepare fish that's clean and healthy. Conclusion: In conclusion, eating clean is an important part of maintaining good health. By choosing the safest fruits, vegetables, and fish, you can ensure that you're getting the nutrients your body needs without exposing yourself to harmful chemicals and toxins. Be sure to check out the Environmental Working Group's yearly report for more information on the cleanest and most contaminated produce.

291: Brad Williams - High Tech Fitness Gym - 2 Month Update Feb 24, 2023

High Tech Fitness Gym - 2 Month Update

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad: In this episode, we talk about the progress report of a gym-goer who has been following The Smart Fit Method at a gym in Costa Mesa, CA for the last two months. Despite partying non-stop after NFL Football season, the gym-goer was able to add five more pounds of muscle. The Smart Fit Method claims to provide a vastly superior workout in a fraction of the time as traditional methods, using technology-backed, adaptive resistance SMART Strength machines. Body: The Smart Fit Method's technology-backed SMART Strength machines are calibrated to provide the perfect amount of resistance for each rep, ensuring that the muscles are strained enough to get the desired results throughout the entire range of motion. This is based on the concept of "time under tension," which refers to the amount of time during exercise that your muscles are strained enough to get the desired results. Traditional weightlifting only provides a small portion of time under tension, making it less effective.

Scientific studies have found that adaptive resistance training is 2.5 times as effective at fat loss than traditional weights, twice as effective for muscle mass gains, 3.5 times as effective for cardiovascular fitness, 90% greater for strength gains, and 72% more time efficient. The traditional gym approach of performing repetitions of each exercise, separated into sets, is not as effective as The Smart Fit Method's adaptive resistance training. Spending two hours at a typical gym to get 20 minutes of time under tension is not as efficient as spending just 20 minutes with SMART Strength machines.

Conclusion: The Smart Fit Method's adaptive resistance SMART Strength machines provide a vastly superior workout in a fraction of the time as traditional methods, based on the concept of "time under tension." Devoting your life to a fitness studio is not necessary, but resistance training is essential for a healthy second half of life. The future of fitness is here, and you simply have to try it to believe it.

Tightening Up Your Intermittent Fasting Routine

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast where we will be discussing the importance of tightening up your intermittent fasting routine. Intermittent fasting is a popular eating pattern that has gained popularity in recent years due to its numerous health benefits. In this episode, we will discuss how you can optimize your fasting routine to get the maximum benefits. Firstly, we will dive into the benefits of fasting. Fasting is an effective way to lose weight, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation in the body. It has also been found to increase longevity and promote cellular repair processes. Furthermore, studies have shown that intermittent fasting can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. One important aspect of intermittent fasting is keeping insulin spikes from happening during your fast. This means avoiding any food or drink that can raise your insulin levels, such as sugary or processed foods. By doing so, you allow your body to enter into a state of ketosis, where it burns stored fat for energy instead of glucose. During a recent podcast interview with a fasting expert, I learned a few holes in my own fasting routine. The expert pointed out that drinking coffee with cream during the fasting period could lead to an insulin spike and break the fast. Similarly, consuming Stevia in your water too close to the fasting period could also cause insulin levels to rise and break the fast. Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention to what you consume during the fasting period and to ensure that it does not disrupt your body's natural fasting state. In conclusion, tightening up your intermittent fasting routine can help you achieve maximum benefits and ensure that you get the most out of your fasting period. Remember to avoid any food or drink that can raise your insulin levels, and pay attention to your body's response to your fasting routine. Thank you for tuning in, and we hope you found this episode informative.

Product Overview: Tyvek Lycra Nylon Material Made in the USA and Imported Zipper Closure Comes with 10lbs of high-density steel weights with the capacity for more A thin profile provides a full range of motion Stretch fabric is wicking, odor resistant, cool, and comfortable Open side for ventilation Unisex design with side lacing for highly-adjustable fit First Impressions: I wasn't sure about the lacing setup on the sides The most notable thing about the vest was how slim it was compared to competitors Testing: Works great with pushups, pullups etc.. the most comfortable weight vest for walking. The size seems a bit tight, so go for a bigger fit than you think. Great range of motion, and feels like a part of your body for sure. Conclusion: I definitely recommend this vest and I have tried a lot over the years. There is an Elite version of this product that is about $100 more, but I don't think they could make anything better on the design from the Pro series.

Check Out This Site To Calculate Your BMR - Metabolism

Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad: In this episode, I will be discussing my favorite website to check out my macros as well as basal metabolic rate. As a personal trainer and gym owner with over 12 years of experience, I will also be answering some common questions from clients at the gym. Episode on Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) & Total Daily Expenditure (TDE) Introduction: Welcome to the Over 40 Fitness Hacks Podcast with Brad Williams, helping the over-40 crowd fight the aging process without giving up their social life. In this episode, we'll be discussing BMR and TDE. BMR Definition: BMR is the amount of calories you burn while awake and resting in bed all day long. It is influenced by factors such as body size, metabolism, genetics, diet, and gut health. Using BMR Calculators: A website recommended by Brad is Legion Athletics (www.LegionAthletics.com) , which has a BMR calculator to estimate the number of calories needed to maintain current weight. Brad uses this website and finds that his BMR is 1910 calories. Compensating for Movement: To compensate for the energy spent while moving throughout the day, the rule of thumb is to add 500 calories to the BMR calculation. Brad explains that for him, this means a typical diet of 2500 calories to maintain his current weight. Weight Loss Calculation: To lose weight, Brad suggests deducing 500-750 calories from the total daily caloric intake. On Legion Athletics, there is also a weight loss calculator, which Brad demonstrates by inputting his stats and activity level. TDE: Brad mentions that there is a TDE calculator available on the website, but for most people, it is not necessary to calculate the exact amount of calories burned each day.

Fasting for 48 hours can be a great way to supercharge your results in terms of weight loss and overall health. However, it's important to approach this method of fasting with caution, as it can be difficult for some people to stick to and may not be safe for everyone.

If you're interested in trying 48-hour fasting, make sure to consult with a healthcare professional first to determine if it's safe for you. Additionally, incorporating regular exercises, such as resistance training and cardio, can help enhance the benefits of fasting. As a personal trainer and gym owner for over 12 years, I recommend using a combination of fasting and exercise to achieve your goals.

166: High Protein Diet for Women Apr 27, 2022

High Protein Diet for Women Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:

In this podcast, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks discusses the importance of higher protein intake for women. He addresses common myths and misconceptions surrounding women and protein consumption. Here's a summary of the key points:

Protein is Not Only for Building Muscle: Brad emphasizes that protein is necessary for various bodily functions, including maintaining body structure, hair, nails, metabolism, and a healthy immune system.
Protein Aids in Weight Management: Brad explains that protein plays a crucial role in weight management. It takes longer to digest, which burns calories, and the thermogenic effect of protein stimulates calorie burning. Additionally, increasing muscle mass raises the basal metabolic rate.
Recommended Protein Intake: Brad suggests a minimum protein intake of one gram per lean body weight. He notes that many individuals can assimilate more protein if needed.
Protein Does Not Lead to Bulking Up: Brad dispels the myth that protein leads to bulking up. He explains that protein slows down hunger responses, and excess carbs and fats in the presence of protein are more likely to be stored as fat.
Protein Supports Weight Loss: Brad points out that a higher ratio of protein in one's diet can aid weight loss by helping individuals feel full and satisfied.
Protein Strengthens Bones: Contrary to the belief that protein weakens bones, Brad clarifies that an adequate amount of protein actually strengthens bones. Excessive protein intake is required to negatively affect calcium levels.
Protein and Kidney Health: Brad mentions that excessive protein intake is needed to harm kidney function, and moderate protein consumption doesn't pose a risk to kidney health.
Whole Foods vs. Supplements: Brad emphasizes the superiority of whole foods over protein supplements. He acknowledges that protein shakes can be necessary to meet protein goals, especially for those with smaller appetites.
Vegan Protein: Brad discusses the challenges of obtaining enough protein on a vegan diet, particularly for men. He highlights the need to balance protein intake with carbohydrate control.

Brad, a personal trainer with over 14 years of experience, aims to clarify these distinctions for his audience.

Normal weight training or circuit training, he explains, primarily focuses on bodybuilding and increasing the size of lean muscle mass. The goals here are calorie burning, aesthetics, and improved functionality through better balance and strength. Repetition ranges typically vary from 12 to 20 reps, depending on individual goals.

On the other hand, strength training emphasizes strengthening individual muscle fibers rather than increasing muscle size. Brad points out that while strength training is often associated with younger athletes, it can still be incorporated into a fitness regimen for those over 40. Repetition ranges for strength training typically fall between five to eight reps, with some athletes pushing for one-rep maxes for explosive power output.

Brad highlights the importance of being cautious and avoiding injury in strength training due to the higher speed and weight involved. For the over 40 crowd, he recommends sticking to weight training with circuit or HIIT variations, but occasionally incorporating strength training if specific strength goals exist.

He stresses the significance of warming up before attempting one-rep maxes to prevent injuries. Brad also emphasizes that warming up is about movement, not stretching, and that stretching is best done after the workout when muscles are more pliable.

In conclusion, Brad Williams provides a clear overview of the distinctions between strength training and normal weight training, advocating for a balanced approach that aligns with individual fitness goals and age-related considerations. He emphasizes the importance of warming up and maintaining perfect form to prevent injuries, especially for those over 40.
