In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams offers a comprehensive three-month update on his personal six-month weight loss challenge, initiated back in January. Williams not only discusses his own progress but also extends an invitation to his audience to join him in the challenge. Reflecting on the initial goal set in January, which coincided with a planned beach event on July 4th, Williams emphasizes the importance of having a clear target to work towards, even for those jumping in at this mid-point.
Starting with a focus on inflammation in month one, Williams tweaked his diet to eliminate foods that caused bloating and identified allergies such as beef and milk protein, a journey he continues to navigate three months later. In month two, he introduced additional physical activities, including a weekly long walk with a weight vest and intensified high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions. These adjustments aimed not only at shedding pounds but also at enhancing overall fitness and health.
Month three saw Williams experimenting with the carnivore diet for gut health, though he admits encountering difficulties with this dietary approach. Despite setbacks, Williams remains committed to his weight loss journey, with plans to transition back to a keto-friendly diet with modifications in fruit and vegetable consumption. Throughout his update, Williams stresses the importance of a holistic approach to weight loss, incorporating diet, exercise, inflammation management, and supplementation.
Despite the challenges, Williams has seen progress, successfully dropping from 215 to 206 pounds. His ultimate goal of reaching 200-204 pounds by the end of the six-month challenge appears within reach. With determination and a focus on sustainable lifestyle changes, Williams is optimistic about achieving his targets.
He encourages his audience to consider joining the challenge, emphasizing that significant changes require dedication over an extended period. Looking ahead, Williams plans to provide another update at the end of April, offering listeners the opportunity to schedule a free consultation for personalized guidance on their fitness journeys.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
