In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams interviews Dr. Mike Belkowski, the founder of BioLite, about the health benefits of red light therapy. Dr. Mike shares his journey into physical therapy and how dissatisfaction with the traditional medical system led him to explore alternative treatments like dry needling, cupping, blood flow restriction, and eventually red light therapy.

He explains the science behind red light therapy, emphasizing its ability to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and boost mitochondrial health. Red light and near-infrared light both penetrate the body to stimulate energy production in mitochondria, which is key for overall health. Dr. Mike also touches on the importance of proper dosage, revealing that many popular red light therapy devices don’t provide accurate power measurements, which can lead to ineffective treatments.

The conversation dives into practical considerations, such as how red light therapy can improve skin health, treat pain, and even enhance cognitive function. Dr. Mike highlights the difference between using red light therapy for surface-level treatments (like skin) versus deeper tissues (like the brain and joints), and offers guidance on choosing the right devices depending on personal needs. He also addresses common misconceptions, such as the idea that more red light therapy is always better.

Brad and Dr. Mike wrap up by discussing BioLite’s products, including portable devices and more extensive full-body panels, and how users can incorporate red light therapy into their daily routines. Dr. Mike introduces his "protocol ecosystem," a free tool on the BioLite website that helps users determine the optimal duration for their red light therapy sessions based on the device’s light irradiance and the condition being treated.

Overall, the episode provides a thorough and engaging discussion about the science and practical applications of red light therapy, focusing on its potential to boost mitochondrial health, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness.

Podcast Summary: Brad Williams Interviews Trainer Noah Hodgin on Women's Fitness Over 40

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams welcomes personal trainer Noah Hodgin for an in-depth conversation focused on women's health, fitness, and lifestyle strategies from perimenopause through postmenopause. With over 25 years in the health and wellness field, Noah shares his passion for helping women over 40 prioritize their health, especially as hormonal changes, muscle loss, and stress become bigger factors.

The two trainers dive into practical training methods and common issues they see with their female clients. Noah emphasizes a holistic approach that includes:

• Positive mindset and mantras
  

• Strength and flexibility training
  

• Tailored modifications for aging bodies
  

• Core and balance work
  

• Proper form over heavy lifting
  

• Low-impact cardio options (especially in the evening)
  

They both discuss the dangers of overdoing cardio and how it can spike cortisol, especially for women in midlife. Instead, they promote resistance training for preserving bone density and muscle mass, along with time under tension techniques, use of bands, and Pilates-inspired movements.

Other highlights include:

• The value of bodyweight exercises and functional movements for aging populations
  

• How vibration plate training may help with osteoporosis
  

• The importance of quality supplements, especially protein
  

• The dangers of chemicals in food and household products
  

• Encouraging daily movement and hydration as foundational wellness habits
  

Noah shares his top three hacks for women over 40:

1. Prioritize water intake
   

2. Eat small, frequent meals with enough protein
   

3. Focus more on strength training than excessive cardio

In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams shares how he uses ChatGPT to prepare for podcast interviews, especially when tackling advanced biohacking topics outside his expertise. Brad describes how ChatGPT helps him deep-dive into complex science — like the role of peptides — by explaining it in simple, digestible terms that fit his learning style.

He discusses how he used ChatGPT to understand peptides better before hosting a future guest from a peptide supplement company. Brad explains key concepts he learned, such as how proteins break down into peptides and amino acids, the challenges with peptide supplement absorption, and the importance of bioactive peptides that act as signaling molecules.

Through ChatGPT, Brad discovered why standard oral peptide supplements often fail (due to digestion breaking them down) and explored better delivery methods like liposomal encapsulation, transdermal patches, and sprays. He also dives into why companies are exploring plant-based peptides for broader appeal, better tolerance, and sustainability, despite animal-derived peptides potentially being closer to human biology.

Finally, Brad reflects on bigger questions about influencing the body’s use of peptides and how future technologies like neurofeedback, brain-computer interfaces, and real-time peptide monitoring might one day allow humans to optimize these biological processes more directly.

Brad teases a future episode where he’ll show how ChatGPT also helped him refine his personal eating strategy.
