On this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams chats with Matt O'Connor, founder of Honour Health Supplements, about the importance of high-quality supplements, transparency in the supplement industry, and optimizing nutrition for those over 40.
Key Highlights:
Matt's Journey and Honour Health's Mission:
Matt shares his background in health, entrepreneurship, and his passion for creating transparent, high-quality supplements after discovering a lack of trust in existing brands.
In Australia, regulations don’t require full disclosure of additives in supplements, leading Matt to prioritize clean formulations and transparency in his products.
Why Quality Supplements Matter:
Differences in supplement quality, such as the bioavailability of ingredients, can significantly impact health outcomes. For example, not all magnesium forms are equally absorbed.
Supplements should complement a whole-food diet and address nutritional gaps caused by modern farming practices and aging.
Vitamins and Minerals: The Building Blocks:
Key nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc are essential for processes like muscle function, sleep, immune support, and hormonal health, especially for individuals over 40.
Brad shares his experiences with supplements, emphasizing their role in improving his blood pressure, energy, and overall wellness.
Supplement Timing and Absorption:
Matt explains how supplement absorption can vary based on timing, form, and combinations. For example, certain minerals compete for absorption, so proper timing and balance are essential.
Tips for the Over-40 Crowd:
Start with whole foods, assess nutrient needs using tools like Cronometer, and supplement intelligently.
Focus on foundational nutrients, particularly those that decline with age, such as magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc.

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.
