In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams discusses his recent experience with a GI mapping test. After suffering from a severe stomach flu that led to unexpected food allergies to chicken and eggs, Brad pursued a GI mapping test recommended by his DPC (Direct Primary Care) doctor to investigate ongoing digestive issues.

Brad explains how the GI mapping test works, involving a stool sample analyzed for various bacteria levels, both good and bad. His results indicated an overgrowth of H. pylori, along with other bacteria like Morganella, Pseudomonas, and Streptococcus, though not at dangerous levels. His test also showed a low score in digestive enzymes, indicating poor nutrient absorption, and a high immune response marker due to the H. pylori infection.

Given the options of antibiotics or a supplement regimen to address these issues, Brad chose the supplement route to avoid disrupting his gut microbiome further. He plans to retest in two months using a breath test for H. pylori and will journal his progress.

Brad emphasizes the importance of seeking multiple medical opinions and exploring both traditional and holistic approaches to health. He concludes by expressing optimism about future advancements in the fitness and health industry, driven by AI technology, and offers a free 15-minute consultation for listeners.

He plans to update listeners on his progress in a future episode.

In this episode of "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," Brad Williams shares recent findings from his Whoop device, particularly influenced by the recent heatwave in San Diego. Reflecting on his initial review in episode 490, Brad reveals three key observations that solidified his decision to renew his Whoop membership and purchase another device for his wife.

1. Increased Caloric Burn: Despite maintaining his usual workout routine, Brad noticed a significant increase in his daily caloric burn, which he attributes to the elevated temperatures. His basal metabolic rate (BMR) and workout calories spiked, suggesting that the heat causes his body to expend more energy.

   
   

2. Skin Temperature and Sweat: Brad's Whoop tracker indicated higher skin temperatures and increased sweating during workouts, aligning with the hot and humid conditions. This heightened physical response led to more calories burned without any changes to his exercise regimen.

   
   

3. Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Brad discusses HRV as a fitness indicator, influenced by factors like sleep, alcohol, and supplements (THC, CBD, melatonin). He highlights an upcoming podcast episode with Don Moxley, an HRV expert, for a deeper dive into this topic.

   
   

Brad advises listeners to consider environmental factors like heat to boost calorie burn without additional exercise and underscores the importance of tracking personal health metrics to optimize fitness. He also promotes a free Zoom consultation and his Facebook group for further engagement and support.
