Arthur, founder of HAVN (pronounced "Haven") Clothing, joined the show to raise awareness around EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation, which is emitted from everyday electronics like phones, Wi-Fi routers, smartwatches, and even microwaves. Though not widely discussed, EMFs have been classified by the World Health Organization as a Class 2B possible carcinogen and are linked in over 2,000 studies to issues like:

• DNA damage
  

• Neurological disorders
  

• Sleep disruption
  

• Cardiovascular disease
  

• Fertility problems
  

Arthur’s background in biology and engineering, plus personal experiences with illness in his family, led him to explore the health risks of EMF exposure and design protective clothing through HAVN.

As technology evolves (especially with 5G and 6G), EMF exposure is increasing. Newer tech requires more antennas and emits stronger frequencies, especially in urban areas and smart homes filled with connected devices.

Even wearables like fitness trackers (e.g., WHOOP) and cell phones—due to proximity—may be worse offenders than Wi-Fi routers. EMFs are likened to pollution: invisible, everywhere, and cumulative in their effects over time.

Arthur emphasizes reducing exposure, especially during sleep (1/3 of your life!), as a powerful first step. His top free or low-cost tips:

1. Put your phone on airplane mode or keep it out of the bedroom at night.
   

2. Turn off your Wi-Fi router overnight (via timer plug if necessary).
   

3. Avoid sleeping with wearables like WHOOP or smartwatches.
   

4. Keep devices off your body when not in use.
   

5. Use EMF meters (offered by HAVN) to detect high-emission areas in your home.
   

Arthur developed HAVN Clothing (spelled HAVN, removing “EMF” from “haven”) to shield essential organs from EMF without compromising modern life. Their proprietary WaveStopper fabric blocks 99.7% of EMFs (400 MHz–40 GHz) using silver fiber mesh.

Available products include:

• Pajamas
  

• Underwear
  

• Hats and beanies
  

• Gaiters for thyroid
  

• Blankets
  

• Hoodies for travel
  

These are particularly helpful for people living in apartments or dense urban environments where community EMF exposure is high. For beginners, Arthur recommends starting with headwear, underwear, and sleepwear to protect the most vulnerable organs during sleep.

🎙️ Episode Summary: The Healing Power of Red Light Therapy with Dr. Carl Rothschild

Dr. Carl Rothschild, a chiropractor since 1978, shares his journey into the world of healing, starting from a rebellious, purpose-driven college student in the 1970s to becoming a pioneer in red light therapy. Originally skeptical of chiropractic in New York, he discovered his passion through cold calls to practicing chiropractors and eventually became a strong advocate for non-invasive, natural healing.

• Introduction to the tech: Dr. Carl was introduced to red light therapy by an orthopedic surgeon in the 1990s who handed him a “flashlight-like” device. Though unconventional at the time, it produced astonishing healing results in his chiropractic practice.
  

• From Class I to Class IV devices: Over time, the technology improved, culminating in the development of full-body red light therapy beds.
  

• Dr. Carl's commitment: Inspired by its potential, he transitioned from practitioner to manufacturer, developing the Trifecta Light Bed, now in its 5th generation.
  

• Red light (not near-infrared) temporarily increases the permeability of fat cell walls, allowing fat to leak out for elimination—without damaging the cells.
  

• Results are amplified with whole-body vibration therapy immediately after sessions to improve lymphatic drainage and fat transport.
  

• Caveat: It's not a miracle solution unless paired with a smart lifestyle. Red light therapy is a catalyst, not a crutch.
  

Dr. Carl shared jaw-dropping examples of transformation:

• A man having heart attacks 1–2 times a week for years stopped having them entirely after just five minutes of red light treatment.
  

• A patient with genetic vision loss halted the progression of blindness.
  

• Parkinson’s patients experiencing reduced tremors after six sessions.
  

• Cases of kidney failure, Crohn’s disease, MS, Lyme disease, and psoriasis saw major relief or remission.

Cheryl Sew Hoy - CEO of "Tiny Health"

www.TinyHealth.com

Socials: @Tiny.Heatlh

Podcast Summary: Brad Williams (Over 40 Fitness Hacks) welcomed Cheryl, founder of Tiny Health, after first learning about her company through Crowd Health. Brad shared his personal journey with gut testing, food allergies, and how microbiome awareness changed his approach to health. He also mentioned his recent Tiny Health score of 82/100, which outperformed his family’s results.

• Cheryl (age 42, mom of three) founded Tiny Health after her first child, born via C-section, developed eczema and food allergies linked to disrupted microbiome colonization.
  

• Determined to prevent the same issues, she researched microbiome science and saw improved outcomes with her next two children (both vaginal births, no allergies).
  

• Tiny Health began with a focus on baby gut health but was always designed to expand into longevity and adult health, supporting people through all stages of life.
  

• Today, Tiny Health powers gut testing not only for families but also for longevity clinics, health assessment companies, and even the Mayo Clinic.
  

• Microbiome Importance: 80% of the immune system is housed in the gut. Early life gut balance impacts long-term immune strength, allergy risk, metabolic health, and autoimmune conditions.
  

• Technology Advantage: Traditional stool tests (PCR) only detect targeted pathogens, while Tiny Health uses metagenomic sequencing to capture a complete, functional view of the microbiome, including beneficial bacteria and pathways.
  

• Scoring & Metrics: Results include overall gut scores, resilience scores, antibiotic resistance, and insights into digestion, immune function, and hormone regulation.
  

• Supplements vs. Food:
  

• • Supplements can help correct imbalances short-term, but lasting gut health requires prebiotic fibers and diverse whole foods.
    

  • Fermented foods and polyphenol-rich foods (like berries) boost diversity and resilience.
    

• Leaky Gut Explained: The gut lining acts like a castle wall; without enough butyrate (produced by fiber-digesting bacteria), food particles and pathogens can cross, triggering immune responses and food sensitivities.
  

• Resilience & Recovery: Antibiotics, infections, or travel (“Bali belly”) can disrupt the microbiome for months or longer. Retesting 4–6 weeks after such events helps measure recovery.
  

• Aging Microbiome: After 40, resilience decreases, making gut testing and diet/lifestyle adjustments more important.
  

• Red Meat & Alcohol: Red meat isn’t inherently bad, but must be balanced with fiber to prevent protein fermentation issues. Alcohol negatively impacts gut health and sleep, but moderation and timing can help reduce effects.

Podcast Summary – Brad Williams, Over 40 Fitness Hacks

In this solo episode, Brad shares his updated longevity strategy—a refined, sustainable approach to health, fitness, and biohacking for those over 40.

He starts by inviting listeners to join his SKOOL community, where he hosts Q&A sessions, offers free personal training, and fosters discussions on lean body goals, overall health, and low-level biohacking.

Training Approach:

• 3x/week strength training using time-under-tension techniques (5–10 sec reps) with reduced weight to protect joints and spine while still building muscle.
  

• 1x/week HIIT on a rebounder with a weight vest, resistance bands, dumbbells, and an oxygen-deprivation mask (30 sec on/30 sec rest).
  

• Daily walks—now upgrading all to weighted vest walks, increasing from 1.5 to 2 miles, six days a week for bone density, mitochondrial health, insulin sensitivity, and fat metabolism.
  

• 1x/week incline ruck hike with a heavier 20-lb vest to boost mitochondrial stress adaptation.
  

• Mobility & core sessions twice weekly, plus injury-prevention work and isometric finishers using a Power Plate for lymphatic drainage and bone density.
  

• Seasonal cold plunges and even “gaming while rebounding” to make movement fun and consistent.
  

Lifestyle & Nutrition:

• Follows a Monday–Friday clean eating plan, allowing social indulgences on weekends.
  

• Uses Whoop for calorie burn tracking and Cronometer for nutrition logging, adjusting intake based on activity.
  

• Maintains ~186 lbs and ~12% body fat without extreme measures, but aims for 180 lbs and single-digit body fat without sacrificing social life.
  

Gut Health Focus:

• Completed advanced microbiome testing with Tiny Health, scoring an impressive 83/100 (average American ~60).
  

• Implemented tailored probiotic choices, increased starch intake, and specific food/spice lists for himself, his wife, and daughter—posted visibly at home for accountability.
  

• Prefers food-based fixes over supplements for microbiome optimization.
  

Biohacking & Supplements:

• Matcha Green Tea (EGCG) for antioxidant support and potential cholesterol reduction.
  

• Concrete Creatine HCL for improved strength, ATP recycling, cognitive benefits, and reduced bloating/GI issues compared to monohydrate.
  

Brad emphasizes tracking, personalization, and sustainability as key to longevity—avoiding burnout, keeping workouts efficient, and integrating fun ways to stay active while still enjoying life.

Dr. Eric - PrimeX - Muscle Medicine

Website: www.drericprimex.comInstagram: @drericfatePodcast: Relentless Vitality

🎙️ Episode Summary: Brad Williams x Dr. Eric (PrimeX)

In this episode, Brad Williams interviews Dr. Eric, founder of PrimeX and former ER physician turned health and performance optimization expert. Together, they dive deep into building muscle, hormone health, peptides, and the foundations of long-term vitality—especially for those over 40.

• Former ER director turned preventative health practitioner.
  

• Focuses on "muscle medicine"—viewing muscle as the organ of longevity.

  
  

• Uses a blend of hormone optimization, peptides, cellular medicine, and lifestyle strategies to help clients improve physical, mental, and sexual performance.
  

• Clean eating (high-protein, low-processed foods)
  

• Intermittent fasting for autophagy
  

• Strength training with a mind-muscle connection
  

• Sleep, mental health, and circadian rhythm regulation
  

• Grounding, sun exposure, and quantum biology
  

💡 Quote: “Supplements and peptides are just icing. Lifestyle is the cake.”

• More people—even in their 30s—are presenting hormone deficiencies.
  

• Stress, toxins, lack of movement, and nutrient-depleted soil all play a role.
  

• Symptoms matter more than lab numbers alone.
  

• Tracking total testosterone and free testosterone, symptoms, and trends over time is key.
  

• Hormone therapy may be the next step once lifestyle and natural interventions are maxed out.
  

• Peptides are gaining traction for performance, fat loss, recovery, and anti-aging.
  

• Must be used strategically and often in tandem with hormone optimization for best results.
  

• Dr. Eric’s approach is layered: lifestyle → hormones → peptides → targeted supplements.
  

• Dr. Eric and Brad both noted benefits from structured/vortexed water (including improved HRV).
  

• Emphasized movement, gratitude, and sunlight exposure as free ways to "charge" your health.
  

• Brad shares how he uses low-carb and fasting protocols during the week to offset social indulgences on weekends.
  

• Dr. Eric suggests more balanced or strategic carb "refeeds" (e.g., midweek) to support hormones like leptin and avoid libido crashes or fatigue.

Rick Olderman - Physical Therapist

New Book: Pain Patterns

Website: www.RickOlderman.com

Topic: Chronic Pain, Frozen Shoulder, Neck Issues, and Practical Self-Fixes

Guest: Rick Olderman, PT with 30 years of experience and author of Pain Patterns

🔧 Systems-Based Approach to Pain:

• Rick explains how traditional PT often fails chronic pain patients due to "component thinking.

  
  

• His systems-based method looks at how seemingly unrelated areas (like feet or hips) can cause pain elsewhere in the body (like the neck or lower back).
  

• Most spinal pain is driven by lower body dysfunction, particularly faulty movement patterns.
  

🦴 Brad's Updates & Takeaways:

• Brad shares progress with his L5-S1 herniated disc recovery—Rick's advice (e.g., walking with bent knees, quad-focused stretching) has helped tremendously.
  

• A reminder: simple habits like not locking your knees while walking can reduce chronic issues.
  

1. Frozen Shoulder:

• Early stages: not much can be done—let it run its course.
  

• Later stages (6+ months): Class 4 laser therapy has shown success by promoting nitric oxide release, which relaxes fascia and improves motion.
  

• Key issue: scapular movement is often ignored. True recovery requires restoring scapular mobility, not just shoulder ROM.
  

2. Chest Pain (Costochondritis/Tietze Syndrome):

• Often misdiagnosed or unexplained.
  

• If pain persists beyond a few weeks, suspect mechanical causes—like a tight pectoralis minor or asymmetries in the rib cage.
  

• Pain might stem from old shoulder or pelvic issues pulling on rib attachments.
  

3. Shoulder/Neck Pain on the Opposite Side:

• Peculiar but likely related to levator scapula tension pulling on cervical vertebrae.
  

• Dysfunctional scapular movement on one side can cause pain on the opposite side due to compensations.
  

• Stretching and scapular realignment often reduce symptoms quickly.
  

4. Chronic Neck Pain & Headaches:

• Almost always traced back to scapular dysfunction, not just upper neck or trap muscles.
  

• Self-treatment: simple positional exercises like child’s pose to relieve depressed scapula.
  

• Consistency and correct technique matter more than quantity of exercises.

Biohacking a Post-Vacation Weight Loss Stall: What My Tracker Revealed

Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!

🎙️ Podcast Summary: Breaking Another Weight Loss Plateau

In this episode, Brad Williams dives into his latest weight loss plateau challenge after returning from a 4-day vacation in Palm Springs. Despite sticking to his usual workouts and walking routine, Brad noticed a significant drop in his daily calorie burn—going from a consistent 2,600–3,200 range down to under 2,200, according to his Whoop tracker.

Brad used ChatGPT as a sounding board to troubleshoot the issue and uncovered several likely causes:

• Post-vacation stress from alcohol, poor sleep, and inflammation.
  

• Loss of glutathione supplementation, which previously boosted his metabolism and HRV (heart rate variability).
  

• Possible thyroid downregulation and lowered BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) due to stress.
  

• Compounding effects from four consecutive days of alcohol and junk food, which his body couldn't recover from as quickly as a typical weekend.
  

Even after resuming clean eating and workouts, Brad's HRV remained suppressed, and his calorie expenditure stayed low. He suspects a combination of heat exposure, liver detox backlog, and sympathetic nervous system dominance may have extended his recovery.

• Recovery from extended stress (even moderate drinking) can take 7–10+ days.
  

• Your body adapts to short-term stress, but not always to extended ones.
  

• Fitness trackers aren’t perfect, but their trends are powerful biofeedback tools.
  

• ChatGPT and data analysis can reveal deeper insights like thyroid suppression that might not be immediately obvious.
  

• Prioritize sleep, hydration, electrolytes, and zone 2 cardio.
  

• Track calorie burn daily and adjust food intake to match.
  

• Stay patient and avoid overcorrecting with extreme workouts.
  

• Use tools like Whoop for trend tracking—even if the exact numbers aren't perfect.
