🎙️ 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.
