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.

    535: Brad Williams - Mastering Macros: Avoiding BMR Pitfalls and Achieving Real Results Over 40

    Mastering Macros: Avoiding BMR Pitfalls and Achieving Real Results Over 40 Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! 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.

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.

    532: Brad Williams - Better Nutrition with Cronometer: My Review On Tracking Micronutrients & Avoiding Calorie Pitfalls

    Better Nutrition with Cronometer: My Review On Tracking Micronutrients & Avoiding Calorie Pitfalls Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! 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.

    531: Brad Williams - Recovering From An Injury: Do This Before Getting Back Into The Gym

    Recovering From An Injury: Do This Before Getting Back Into The Gym Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! 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.

    530: Brad Williams - Overcoming Insomnia After 40: How This One Thing Sabotaged My Sleep

    Overcoming Insomnia After 40: How This One Thing Sabotaged My Sleep Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! 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.

    Immunity and Vitality After 40: The Power of Polysaccharides, Vitamin D, and Magnesium Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group 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.
