    In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams discusses his transition from a six-month weight loss challenge to a new goal of bulking up. He successfully lost 19 pounds by focusing on habit building, even while maintaining an active social life. With his weight loss phase complete, Brad now aims to build muscle, starting from a lean base.



    To aid in his muscle-building journey, Brad reintroduced creatine into his regimen, increasing his intake from 5 grams to 10 grams per day. This adjustment has significantly boosted his strength and workout intensity. Additionally, he has started using HMB (Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate), a supplement derived from the amino acid leucine, to help preserve muscle mass during catabolic phases like fasting and high-intensity workouts.



    Brad emphasizes the importance of gradual changes, monitoring his calorie intake, and experimenting with different supplements to find what works best. He plans to continue this careful approach, adjusting his diet and supplementation as needed, and sharing his findings with his audience. Brad invites listeners to engage with him through his Facebook group or via email and offers free 15-minute Zoom consultations to help others 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.

Evidence-based advice to get younger as you age

I absolutely love Brad‘s show, especially how he features separate segments of his guest interviews across multiple episodes, allowing me to target in on the ones that are most relevant to me in the moment. More importantly, Brad is obviously experienced as a coach and as an educator when it comes to cutting through the noise in the fitness industry and presenting what actually works in simple, actionable terms. For example, he addresses issues like recovery, injury, joint stress, and inflammation that tend to crop up as we age, and exactly how to modify your training to work with your body. I highly recommend the show for anyone who’s looking to become their fittest self over 40!

Highly recommend

I love how Brad is open and honest about the truths of how our bodies change as we age. New rules apply as we get older and I love his transparency about that and vulnerability of sharing his personal struggles with gut issues and finding ways to overcome them. Very relatable and I appreciate him touching on real topics that most are dealing with but maybe to shy to share. Keep it up Brad and thank you.

Confusing podcast

Tried listening to the rebounding episode. I don’t understand why the 30 minute podcast is divided into 3 episodes 10 minutes each. Listening to multiple “episodes” for one podcast. Also the guest on the episode for the most part just talked about himself and not about rebounding. What a waste of time.
