    FTV; Fitness After 40 with Brad Williams

    Send us Fan Mail FTV;  In this week's episode I am joined by Personal trainer, gym owner, podcast host and all-round good guy Brad Williams. California based Brad specialises in working with men and women over 40 and we talk about the differences that he sees in how someone over 40 should eat and train compared to someone in their 20s. Some of the things we touch on are; Life is different for the over 40s but how does this impact exercise? Is it more difficult for someone over 40s to get the same results as someone in their 20s? Why the hormone levels of the over 40s must be taken into account when training/aiming for certain results. Should you eat differently past 40? What food go on his eat or don't eat list? Which foods should you always try to buy organic? What supplementation does Brad recommend for someone over 40? and much, much more.

Myers Jr., MD was the Chief of Primary Care, Pediatrics, and Practice Transformation for Summit Health New Jersey, one of the state’s largest medical groups, before he retired in 2025.

Dr. Myers completed his primary care residency at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and received his MD from Harvard, BA from Johns Hopkins, and MBA from Northeastern University.  He is now the author of "The Vaccine Bible" an absolute must-have for anyone even remotely interested in kid's health, vaccines and general health. We are talking EVERYTHING to do with vaccines. Why the vaccine schedule is what it is (Why are there soo many shots??) What vaccines really are, and what they do. What are measles and why is there a flare-up in the number of cases. Why we see an uptick in the number of vaccine hesitant people?  How do you asses the risk of a vaccine Vs the risk of an illness? and much, MUCH more.

    Is C-section recovery different? And GLP-1 meds postpartum??????

    Send us Fan Mail This week, fresh off the press, I am talking about C-section recovery and GLP-1 Medication. I've had some questions and articles sent to me about both so thoughtit'd be nice to cover the topics. Is C-section recovery really that different from a vaginal birth recovery that you need a different program? Why you should always, ALWAYS, see a pelvic floor physio postpartum, even if you've had a C-section. With regards to GLP-1 meds; Why it's not a great idea at all to start these postpartum. Why I always tell people to NOT focus on weightloss postpartum And, why it's a very troubling trend to see companies starting to sell these for PP weightloss. And more. As always; HPNB is, and always will be, FREE for 3 months. If you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS!

    Understanding RED-S And Why Your Period Matters with Allison Yamamoto

    Send us Fan Mail From the vault, as promised last week, an episode I did a while ago. Did you know that  overtraining/undereating and and the exercise/food balance can impact your menstrual cycle, bone health, and mental health? Especially for women who's body has just gone through an intense, and often traumatic, experience like pregnancy and giving birth this can really have a huge impact on your health. You're seemingly doing "everything right" yet feel like you're struggling all the time and even your menstrual cycle can get messed up. RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) is much more common in postpartum women  than you might think and Allison Yamamoto has very kindly agreed  to come onto my little show to talk about this. We talk about the causes of RED-S. How society's pressures on women can cause women to, unknowingly, be sabotaging their own health. How a "I have to do everything" approach is actually holding you back and impacting your health. How a workaholic lifestyle, which most postpartum women have (when's the last time YOU had a break?) leads to issues And, of course, we discuss the solution! Allison is absolutely amazing and I have no doubt you'll be very happy that you listened to this episode. You can find her in all the usual places; Her website Instagram And TikTok for you cool kids As always; HPNB is, and always will be, FREE for 3 months. If you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS! That's $50 max spend, in case you were wondering.

    Stop Overpaying For "Premium Baby Formula"

    Send us Fan Mail "Now with added Vit-D", "Helps support a healthy immune system" all these things basically mean one thing "This is more expensive". The baby formula industry is worth an astonishing $83BILLION a year. So should you buy "premium baby formula"? Is it worth the money? Or is the "regular stuff" actually fine? We all want what's best for our babies and we know a lot, if not most, women are concerned that they don't produce enough breastmilk for their baby. So supplementation seems the natural way to go but, where there's money to be made there are dubious claims out there. So in this, rather short, episode I'll quickly go over some issues with these claims and explain why you're perfectly fine with normal baby formula, if your baby is healthy. Here's the episode I did with Allison Yamamoto about Red-S As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles. So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

    A Paraplegic Mom On Labour, Birth, And Recovery. With Ryan Rae Harbuck

    Send us Fan Mail FTV;  She didn’t feel contractions, and she still delivered two healthy babies. That single fact opens a door most of us never think about: what happens when the usual pregnancy and postpartum “signals” are quiet or missing, and the system is built for people who feel everything? I have the pleasure of talking to  Ryan Rae Harbuck.  She is a swim coach, mom of two, and author of *When I Grow Up, I Want to Be a Chair*.  Ryan is paralysed from around the rib cage down, and she walks us through the real logistics of a paraplegic pregnancy and wheelchair motherhood, from shifting centre of gravity and harder transfers to swelling, circulation issues, and the constant question of labour detection. Her first birth begins with a shocking discovery at a routine appointment: she’s already in active labour with no clear internal alarm. After delivery, a postpartum tear and MRSA infection reveal another critical risk when pain isn’t available as a warning sign. We also dig into what actually helps: relentless self-advocacy in health care, planning that still leaves room for surprise. And she mentions some adaptive parenting gear that makes daily life safer and easier, including baby-wearing, a FreeWheel-style wheelchair attachment, and an accessible crib design.   You can find Ryan every where. Her website Instagram and Facebook You can find her book at all major retailers, including Amazon, by going to this page and selecting your favourite retailer. In the news this week  I talk about an experience one of my clients had with NMN.  I have addressed NMN supplementation before and my client's experience highlights the issue I raised before about dosage. Here is a little article where you can find some more information on rising oestrogen levels. As always; HPNB only has 5 billing cycles.
