In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams interviews Dr. Derek Alessi, an exercise scientist, nutritionist, and founder of Strength Genesis. Dr. Alessi shares his personal journey from aspiring dentist to fitness and nutrition expert after struggling with weight issues in his youth. Over the past 30 years, he has specialized in helping individuals over 45 improve their health through a combination of personal training, nutrition, and sustainable supplements.
Dr. Alessi discusses his approach to holistic health, emphasizing longevity, disease prevention, and overall well-being rather than just aesthetics. He shares insights on Strength Genesis, his supplement company, and its flagship product—Australian macadamia nut oil. He explains its superior benefits compared to olive oil, including a higher smoke point, better nutrient profile, and a rich, buttery taste that enhances cooking.
The conversation also touches on the importance of tracking health markers, lab work, and personalized nutrition strategies for sustainable results. Dr. Alessi highlights the role of high-quality oils like MCT oil for those following a keto diet and discusses how his products support metabolic health.
Both Brad and Dr. Alessi reflect on their own experiences transitioning from traditional gym-focused fitness to prioritizing longevity, injury prevention, and functional health as they age. They share a commitment to helping their clients achieve sustainable results while maintaining a high quality of life.
