Dr. Osborne makes it clear: if you don’t have lifespan, healthspan doesn’t matter.Dr. Osborne explains that cardiovascular disease has been the leading cause of death for over 120 years — responsible for roughly 40–45% of deaths, even during COVID. Globally, around 20 million people die each year from heart disease.The problem? We typically detect it far too late.Traditional cardiology focuses on finding severe blockages — the equivalent of detecting stage 4 cancer. But plaque (atherosclerosis) develops silently over decades. In fact, 85% of heart attacks occur in people without severe blockages detected beforehand, due to sudden plaque rupture.Even more alarming:Half of men and two-thirds of women experience a fatal event as their first symptom.Most people have no warning signs.Dr. Osborne’s mission is early detection — what he calls the cardiac version of a colonoscopy.At Clear Cardio, they use:Advanced 640-slice Cardiac CT technologyAI-enhanced imaging capable of detecting plaque the size of a period at the end of a sentencePersonalized prevention plans based on decades of lipid and cardiovascular expertiseAccording to Dr. Osborne:99% of people have detectable plaqueOnly about 1% are completely plaque-freeMost people feel perfectly fine and have normal stress testsThe difference is that this technology detects plaque long before symptoms appear — when it’s still reversible.Dr. Osborne emphasizes that we already have powerful, proven tools:Nutrition and exerciseBlood pressure and blood sugar managementAdvanced lipid therapiesTargeted medications when necessaryThe issue isn’t lack of treatment — it’s lack of early detection.Even those with strong genetic risk can reduce their risk by 50% with proper lifestyle habits. And for those who “picked the wrong ancestors,” there are still highly effective treatment options available.The cardiac CT scan also provides additional insights, including:Lung imagingFatty liver detectionBone densitySpine assessmentAll with extremely low radiation exposure — roughly equivalent to a chest X-ray, and far less than traditional nuclear stress tests.Dr. Osborne compares modern heart prevention to the early days of insulin in 1922 — a turning point that transformed diabetes care. He believes we’re at a similar tipping point for heart disease.His ultimate goal?To eliminate plaque-driven heart disease entirely — and put himself out of business.Clear Cardio is currently operating in Dallas and Chicago, expanding to Manhattan, Miami, and other major cities, with the long-term goal of reaching high-population areas nationwide.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

    In this solo episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks shares an updated snapshot of his current routine, covering workouts, supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies he’s using to push toward his leanest physique yet while protecting his joints and long-term health.


    Brad explains why he’s slowing down podcast publishing—now focusing on one solo episode and one guest per month—and why he’s prioritizing deeper engagement inside his free SKOOL community. After hundreds of interviews, he’s shifting from repeating the same conversations to showing real-time experimentation and progress.


    At 184 pounds and aiming for 180, Brad walks through what it actually takes to approach single-digit body fat over 40, emphasizing that it’s challenging, not necessarily “healthy,” and requires extreme consistency. His goal is transparency—showing his community both the results and the struggle.


    Morning Routine & Mobility Each day starts with hot showers, cat-cow stretching, nerve flossing, and light mobility work—non-negotiables after multiple L5-S1 microdiscectomies. These short daily practices help keep his spine healthy and pain-free.

    Supplements & Tracking Rather than guessing, Brad uses the Cronometer app to track micronutrients and identify deficiencies. His supplement stack adjusts based on real data and includes essentials like magnesium, zinc, omega-3s, vitamin D3 + K2, calcium, vitamin C, CoQ10, turmeric, and targeted minerals—taken strategically throughout the day to avoid absorption conflicts. He emphasizes nutrient balance (omega-3 to omega-6, zinc to copper, sodium to potassium, calcium to oxalates) over megadosing.

    Training Split

    • Monday / Wednesday / Friday: 30-minute full-body gym workouts using a time-under-tension approach. Brad rotates chest, back, and legs with lighter weights, slower tempos, and longer sets to reduce joint stress while still building muscle.

    • Tuesday / Thursday: Short (10–15 min) blood flow restriction (BFR) workouts at home, focusing on arms and legs with very light weights—or physical therapy if recovery feels off.

    • Core Work: Planks, side planks, and controlled leg raises, with a warning about ab rollers after suffering an inguinal hernia.

    • Cardio & Daily Movement: Daily 30-minute walks (often with a weighted vest), plus weekly high-intensity rebounder sprint sessions for mitochondrial health and calorie burn—his safer alternative to outdoor sprinting post-back surgery.

    Calorie Tracking & Fat Loss Brad relies on his WHOOP data—not generic calculators—to manage calorie intake day by day. He adjusts food intake based on actual burn, especially when pushing fat loss. For him, precision matters more as body fat drops.


    Nutrition Philosophy The biggest shift over 40: insulin awareness. Brad explains how frequent eating kills fat-burning and why he now favors two meals per day, eaten within short windows, prioritizing protein and fats first, carbs last. This approach improves insulin response, appetite control, and fat loss. On weekends, he still tracks calories while allowing flexibility with food and alcohol—using fiber strategically to slow absorption.

    Chloe Harrouche - The Lanby - Health Concierge

    www.thelanby.com

    Podcast: Get Well, Better


    In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams sits down with Chloe Harrouche, founder of The Lanby, a modern, patient-led concierge healthcare practice redefining what proactive, preventive medicine can look like.


    Chloe shares her deeply personal journey into healthcare innovation, beginning with her background in bioengineering and healthcare consulting, and shaped profoundly by her experience being diagnosed with breast cancer at just 23 years old. Despite receiving standard-of-care treatment, Chloe was left with little guidance on how to truly optimize her long-term health. That gap—between traditional medicine and personalized, proactive wellness—became the catalyst for founding The Lanby.


    Throughout the conversation, Brad and Chloe unpack the shortcomings of conventional healthcare and even traditional concierge and Direct Primary Care (DPC) models. Chloe explains how The Lanby goes beyond access to care by offering trusted guidance, ongoing accountability, and true personalization, integrating functional medicine, nutrition, longevity science, and wellness into primary care.


    Listeners learn how The Lanby’s team-based model works, combining physicians trained in prevention and functional medicine, registered dietitians, and dedicated member advocates who coordinate care and ensure patients feel heard and supported. Chloe details how The Lanby emphasizes proactive monitoring, including extensive baseline lab testing (100+ biomarkers), quarterly progress check-ins, and optional advanced diagnostics like genetics, gut microbiome testing, and biological age assessments—without pushing unnecessary add-ons.


    Brad relates the model to his own experience navigating cash-based healthcare, DPC, and self-directed biohacking, highlighting how overwhelming it can be to interpret data without expert guidance. Chloe explains how The Lanby helps turn complex health data into clear, actionable insights, reducing confusion and burnout for motivated, health-conscious individuals—especially those over 40.


    The episode also explores how The Lanby works alongside insurance (favoring PPO, EPO, or alternative cost-sharing plans), why HMOs are challenging, and how the model supports both day-to-day health optimization and coordination during acute issues.


    Finally, Chloe shares what’s ahead for The Lanby, including:

    • A nationwide metabolic health program using continuous glucose monitors

    • “Just the Labs” and “Just the Genes” standalone offerings for non-members

    • Plans to expand into pediatric care with a holistic, family-centered approach

    Chloe also highlights The Lanby’s educational ecosystem—community talks, wellness presentations, newsletters, and her podcast Get Well Better—designed to empower patients with knowledge while providing expert context.
