    🎙️ Episode Summary – Over 40 Fitness Hacks x WYSE Earth


    In this episode, Brad Williams chats with Juraj Kocar, wellness entrepreneur and co-founder of WYSE Earth, about his personal health journey and how it led to creating adaptogenic mushroom-infused products designed to combat inflammation and support overall wellness.


    🔹 Juraj’s Transformation Story: Juraj opened up about his early health struggles in his 20s—weight gain, high blood pressure, brain fog, and more—due to a poor lifestyle. Traditional medicine prescribed lifelong medications, but Juraj took matters into his own hands. By radically changing his diet and lifestyle, all of his symptoms vanished in less than six months, sparking his passion for holistic wellness.


    🔹 Birth of WYSE Earth: After founding a frequency therapy company, Juraj became deeply fascinated by adaptogenic mushrooms—natural inflammation fighters that support homeostasis. A chance meeting with a business partner led him to WYSE Earth, which combines these mushrooms with organic European honey for a potent, delicious delivery system.


    🔹 Why Adaptogenic Mushrooms?

    • Non-toxic and safe for daily use

    • Bi-directional effects (calm or energize as needed)

    • Work systemically on inflammation, rather than targeting symptoms

    WYSE Earth’s mushroom blends are crafted by Traditional Chinese Medicine experts and use only high-potency fruiting bodies with a 25:1 extract ratio—far superior to industry norms.


    🔹 Flagship Products:

    1. Longevity – Full-spectrum immune and inflammation support

    2. Detox – Supports cleansing of toxins and parasites

    3. Heart Flow – Cardiovascular health

    4. Power – Energy, performance, and libido support New product lines are coming soon, including one focused on women’s hormonal health and a mainstream adaptogenic chocolate.

    🔹 Keto & Sugar Concerns: Each jar lasts about 3 months with one spoonful per day. Juraj reassures keto and low-carb listeners: the natural sugars in honey are complex and can be timed with meals to minimize blood sugar spikes.


    🔹 Brad’s Takeaways: Brad relates with Juraj’s journey, emphasizing the importance of synergy across habits—sleep, fasting, mindful eating, and trying natural products. He’s eager to integrate WYSE Earth’s honey into his own wellness routine.

    Atavia Minoudis - Gut Reactions Podcast

    Instagram: @Atavia.Minoudis



    In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams interviews Atavia Minoudis, a nutritional therapist specializing in gut health, particularly IBS. Atavia shares her personal journey with IBS, which led her to pursue a career in nutritional therapy after experiencing the frustration of being misdiagnosed and not receiving clear answers. She explains that IBS is an umbrella term encompassing various gut issues, and the root causes can be diverse, including imbalances in the gut microbiome, food sensitivities, leaky gut, and stress.


    Atavia highlights the importance of gut health, noting that factors like stress, poor diet, medications, and environmental toxins can damage the gut, leading to issues like leaky gut. This condition causes food particles to leak into the bloodstream, triggering immune responses and food allergies. She also discusses how stress plays a major role in gut health, as chronic stress can lead to inflammation and disrupt gut bacteria, exacerbating symptoms.


    The conversation shifts to the vagus nerve, which plays a crucial role in calming the nervous system. Atavia emphasizes the need to strengthen vagal tone through practices like humming, singing, yoga, and deep breathing. These activities can activate the vagus nerve, helping to reduce stress and improve gut health over time.


    Brad relates to the topic by sharing his experience with diaphragmatic breathing to manage stress and lower back pain post-surgery. The episode underscores the significance of managing stress for overall health, particularly as we age, and provides practical tips for improving gut health and calming the nervous system.

    In this episode, Brad dives into a lively conversation sparked in his school community group about the many forms of hydration. From purified and distilled water to electrolyte, hydrogen, and structured water, the group explored it all.


    The discussion was kicked off by the rising popularity of LMNT (Element) Hydration, a product promoting higher sodium intake—especially for athletes who sweat heavily. Brad breaks down the concerns and benefits around sodium and potassium balance, highlighting the common misconception that sodium is always harmful.


    He compares LMNT to other electrolyte products like Athletes for Athletes, which uses pink Himalayan salt for added trace minerals, and Dr. Berg's Electrolyte Powder, which flips the script with higher potassium and low sodium. Brad cautions listeners about the potential dangers of mismanaging potassium intake, including the risk of cardiac issues, and emphasizes checking with a doctor before using such supplements.


    His key takeaway: 💧 Hydration isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your ideal electrolyte balance depends on your activity level, sweat output, and overall diet. Always consult a healthcare provider before making big changes.
