This conversation is packed with practical longevity insights for anyone in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.Eddie’s health journey began in his mid-20s when an insurance exam rated him as a heavy smoker—despite not smoking at all. This wake-up call pushed him into lifestyle changes and opened the door to deep interest in supplementation. Over the next 30+ years, he became an expert in nutritional science, learned what not to do in the supplement world, and eventually built Touchstone Essentials around clean, science-backed, high-quality formulations.Eddie emphasizes that supplements don’t replace healthy habits, but they bridge the gap between the ideal and the reality of modern life—where fast-paced routines, processed foods, environmental toxins, and limited prep time make optimal nutrition harder to achieve.A major theme of the episode is detoxification—specifically the growing toxic burden from pesticides, chemicals, flame retardants, pollutants, and heavy metals.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

592: Dr. Bill Adrews - Can We Slow — or Reverse — Aging? Telomeres, Telomerase & Longevity
Can We Slow — or Reverse — Aging? Telomeres, Telomerase & LongevityClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Dr. Bill Andrews - Telomere Health & Longevitywww.thegoodinside.com - Touchstone Essentials supplements.Email: BAndrews@SierraSci.comGuest snapshot: Dr. Bill Andrews—biotech veteran and founder of Sierra Sciences—has spent his career chasing a practical way to slow (and ultimately reverse) human aging. Inspired by a childhood mission from his dad to “find a cure for aging,” he helped lead the discovery of human telomerase at Geron in the 1990s.Why we age: Aging isn’t great for the individual, but it benefits the species (greater diversity and adaptability). Mechanistically, “wear and tear” accumulates—and our ability to replace damaged cells is capped by the Hayflick limit.Ride tickets analogy: Every time a cell divides it “uses a ticket.” Those tickets are telomeres (the DNA caps on chromosomes). When tickets run out, cells enter senescence and die.Telomerase: In reproductive cells, the enzyme telomerase adds tickets back, keeping telomeres long—why children aren’t born “older” than their parents. In most other cells, the telomerase gene is repressed.His team screens plant extracts to dislodge repressor proteins on the telomerase gene “dimmer switch,” aiming to partially turn it back on.Partial activation ≠ reversal, but it can slow telomere shortening (slowing aging). He believes stronger activators that can win the “tug-of-war” and lengthen telomeres meaningfully could arrive in ~1–3 years if progress continues.Andrews licensed several top nutraceutical fractions that, in his assays, induce telomerase expression modestly and include antioxidants/anti-inflammatories to reduce accelerated shortening.Notable: a turmeric fraction without curcumin (their strongest inducer), plus pomegranate, skullcap root, “gal nut,” and others. No “proprietary blend” label—ingredients are listed individually.He stresses Telo-Vital slows aging; occasional anecdotal reversals (hair/vision/sleep) may occur when tissues have critically short telomeres that are easier to re-lengthen.Do something daily. Consistent, enjoyable endurance-style movement can lower inflammation/oxidative stress; stop before it stops being fun.What can accelerate shortening: frequent senolytics (create gaps → more cell division), high alcohol (liver turnover), growth-hormone/“immune boosters” that drive cell division, and chronic inflammation/oxidative stress.What helps slow acceleration: anti-inflammatory/antioxidant strategies, better glucose control (he mentions a product that “converts sugar to fiber”), mitochondrial support like urolithin A and NAD/Niagen (NR).Product: Telo-Vital (Touchstone Essentials) — site: thegoodinside.comDr. Andrews (science questions): BAndrews@SierraSci.comHe can share recommended YouTube talks on telomeres/telomerase and aging.Bottom line: Telomere shortening is a central, measurable driver of aging. Today’s tools may slow that process; Andrews is racing to make meaningful lengthening practical next.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

He explains how this decline connected to reduced mitochondrial activity from skipping HIT sessions. Turning to ChatGPT for insights, Brad explores how HIT stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis—the process of creating new mitochondria—by pushing the body to oxygen debt and triggering powerful recovery processes afterward.He breaks down the “afterburn effect” (EPOC), explaining how intense bursts of effort force the body to consume extra oxygen post-workout to restore balance, repair tissue, and boost metabolism for up to 36 hours. Brad also compares Zone 2 cardio (steady-state fat burning) with Zone 5 HIT (maximum heart rate, short bursts) and why both are crucial for longevity and efficiency.Listeners will learn:How HIT drives more calorie burn and mitochondrial density than slower workouts.The science behind EPOC and why it’s a key to sustained fat loss.How to structure HIT for maximum efficiency (e.g., 30 seconds all-out, 90 seconds rest).Why adding weights or masks during HIT can actually reduce heart rate and efficiency.The importance of balancing intensity with recovery to avoid cortisol spikes and fatigue.Brad wraps up by sharing his plan to reintroduce weekly HIT sessions—short, bodyweight-based, and focused purely on speed and heart rate—to reignite energy and optimize his mitochondria naturally before turning back to supplements.🎧 Key takeaway: You don’t need long workouts—just efficient, intense bursts that supercharge your metabolism and rebuild your body’s cellular engines.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

After years of medication cycles, painful symptoms, and even a bout with melanoma, he sought alternative healing paths. Conventional treatments offered no long-term relief, leading him to research deeper into root causes and natural recovery methods.When a doctor suggested trying hyperbaric oxygen therapy or EWOT, Pitzele balked at the cost and accessibility of hyperbaric chambers. Instead, he built his own EWOT system, experienced dramatic recovery over several months, and eventually founded One Thousand Roads in 2018 to make the technology affordable and accessible.EWOT involves 15 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise while breathing near-pure oxygen through a mask connected to a large oxygen reservoir. Key points:Uses oxygen concentrators to fill a 1,000-liter reservoir.Enables oxygen delivery far beyond what standard machines can supply.Can be used with any stationary cardio equipment (bike, treadmill, rebounder, etc.).Requires only standard electrical outlets and minimal setup space.Pitzele explains that as we age, “inflammaging” causes microscopic capillaries to constrict, restricting oxygen delivery and forcing cells into low-energy, anaerobic states. EWOT reverses this by:Reoxygenating plasma to reach starved tissues.Reducing inflammation and restoring blood flow.Reactivating mitochondria (cellular powerhouses) and promoting new mitochondrial growth.Boosting VO₂ max, endurance, and recovery.Enhancing detoxification, as oxygen helps flush toxins and lactic acid.Supporting fat burning and overall energy production.Unlike hyperbaric oxygen, which relies on external pressure, EWOT uses exercise-driven oxygen demand for faster, more efficient absorption.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

He built a cash-pay concierge clinic to spend 60–90 minutes with patients, run deeper diagnostics, and create long-term, prevention-focused plans. He does not bill insurance (patients keep catastrophic coverage), which lets him order better tests and avoid the admin churn.Diagnostics that actually predict risk:Starts from top U.S. mortality drivers (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, trauma in older adults) and then chooses biomarkers that best reflect true risk, repeating them multiple times per year and explaining results in plain English with written notes.Cancer screening: uses blood tests that detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as an early, broad screen; positives are followed by imaging (often full-body MRI or targeted MRI/PET).Heart disease: warns that calcium-score CT can miss early non-calcified plaque (common in 40s–60s). Prefers imaging that sees soft plaque before calcification.Whole-body MRI: advocates this for catching issues (like leg artery disease) that localized scans miss—especially relevant to older adults.Therapies & philosophy:Tools include peptides, hormones, PRP, and stem cells, but only after foundations: exercise, nutrition, and social health—there’s no shortcut.Stem cells: strongly prefers autologous (your own) cells that are culture-expanded in a sterile lab, stored, and used over time (IV for systemic repair; guided injections for joints/spine).Cautions against routine allogeneic (donor/cord) cells due to immune reactions and potential long-term autoimmunity.Banking earlier is better, but even older adults can benefit; he shared an 80-year-old scoliosis case that avoided major spine surgery after one procedure.In-clinic process: mini-lipo harvest → lab isolation & expansion → cryostorage (annual maintenance fee ~$350).Advises skepticism about overseas clinics and some cord-blood banks with variable quality/control.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

While the downtime is frustrating, it’s giving him space to reset his training and nutrition strategy.Protein-focused intermittent fasting: 180–200g of protein across 2 meals daily.Routine:3 full-body gym sessions (30 minutes, time under tension, circuit style).PT/rebounding on Tues & Thurs.Daily 1–2 mile walks.Planned HIIT trampoline sessions (not always done).Supplements: Glutathione patches boosted caloric expenditure and energy when used, but results declined after stopping.Routine stagnation: Same workouts/walks no longer elevate heart rate beyond Zone 2.Calorie balance: Needs ~1800–2000 calories daily to feel good, but weight loss requires dipping to ~1500, which tanks energy, hormones, and libido.Reluctant to adopt other cardio forms (boxing, yoga, pilates) despite potential benefits.Not interested in “outworking” calories with marathon-style activity like his brother’s volleyball sessions.Red light therapy (Trifecta Light): Tried 12 sessions ($200 unlimited). Minimal personal results (slight arm nerve relief), but his 80-year-old mom noticed some weight loss. Brad is skeptical it’s worth it for him long-term.Glutathione patches (Lifewave): Previously the best measurable boost on Whoop data, may revisit later.Testing over supplement overload: Pausing new supplement trials to focus on his own experiment with diet/training changes.Nutrition Shift:Move from 2 meals → 3 meals daily.Increase protein to 225–250g/day (all from real meat, no whey or pea protein).Lunch carries most carbs/fats, dinner focuses on salad + lean proteins (Mediterranean style: fish, chicken, crab, scallops).Maintain monthly 36–48 hour fasts for autophagy, while loosening daily fasting windows.Training Adjustments:Recommit to HIIT once per week (30s on/off on rebounder with vest, dumbbells, band, oxygen mask).Keep gym/rehab/walking structure, but recognize the need for stimulus change if progress stalls.Biohacker’s Edge:Lean on protein-driven thermogenesis and added lean mass to naturally raise BMR.Hold off on glutathione patches until he proves the new plan works.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Creatine Without the Bloat: Con-Cret’s Founder on HCL vs. MonohydrateClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Mark Faulkner - Con-Cret SupplementsSocial Media: @concret_creatinewww.Con-Cret.comBrad opened by sharing your personal experience with creatine monohydrate — its benefits for strength and endurance, but also the downside of bloating and water retention that kept you from using it consistently. Mark clarified that “HCL” vs. “hcl” is just a marketing capitalization difference and explained that creatine hydrochloride (HCL) can offer the same benefits with fewer side effects due to its superior bioavailability.Mark shared his science-heavy background (physics, biochemistry, toxicology) and his experience co-founding a forensic toxicology lab. His team built the NFL’s steroid testing program, which sparked his interest in safe, legal performance enhancers. After selling the lab, he partnered with sports medicine researchers to find steroid alternatives that could help athletes recover and maintain strength safely. This search led to creatine HCL, which showed strong results for strength, endurance, and recovery without the typical side effects of monohydrate.Bioavailability & Efficiency: Creatine HCL is more easily absorbed due to its chemical structure and compatibility with stomach acid (HCL), allowing smaller doses to deliver more creatine to muscle, brain, and immune cells.Side Effects: Princeton research shows over 50% of men and 75% of women experience bloating and GI distress with monohydrate, which is largely avoided with HCL.Performance Benefits: Faster recovery, increased training capacity, and leaner muscle gains compared to monohydrate.Mark emphasized that creatine supports all cells — not just muscles:Brain health & cognition: Supports energy for thinking and memory.Immune system: T-cells upregulate creatine receptors before attacking pathogens or abnormal cells (e.g., cancer), so adequate creatine helps them “win the fight.”Disease prevention & longevity: The CDC is investigating low creatine levels as a factor in rising chronic disease rates.Mark provided a three-tier approach:Daily Health: 750 mg per day for most people.Exercise / Biohacking: 750 mg per 100 lbs of body weight 30–60 minutes pre-workout (double up on very strenuous days).Medical/Disease States: Higher doses (up to 4–6 g daily) split into multiple servings.He also noted that creatine should be taken daily with no need to cycle off, and extra doses can help with fatigue, poor sleep, or jet lag.Mark stressed that over 90% of creatine is made in China, and quality can vary dramatically. Con-Cret is the only U.S.-made creatine, manufactured in an NSF-certified facility in Nebraska, ensuring purity and safety for athletes who undergo drug testing. Con-Cret holds multiple patents for its creatine HCL technology, further setting it apart.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

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 damageNeurological disordersSleep disruptionCardiovascular diseaseFertility problemsArthur’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:Put your phone on airplane mode or keep it out of the bedroom at night.Turn off your Wi-Fi router overnight (via timer plug if necessary).Avoid sleeping with wearables like WHOOP or smartwatches.Keep devices off your body when not in use.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:PajamasUnderwearHats and beaniesGaiters for thyroidBlanketsHoodies for travelThese 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.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

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.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV
