He’s been a strength and conditioning coach for multiple pro-athletes, a self-defense instructor, and has over 10 years experience formulating supplements. Fun fact: Matt’s been playing guitar and keyboards for over 19 years… and recorded a hard rock CD when he was young and angry. BiOptimizers started in 2004. Wade and Matt had been friends for years and bonded over their passion for health and fitness. They were both some of the top personal trainers at World’s Gym downtown Vancouver. Matt Gallant was also a successful online entrepreneur and he felt that Wade Lightheart was very marketable due to his unique credentials and story. Wade was a 3X natural bodybuilding champion and did it as a vegetarian. So, they launched their first product together in January of 2004 called “Freaky Big Naturally”. It was an instant hit amongst bodybuilders. They proceeded to launch several groundbreaking products in 2005-2006 including: Masszymes Organic hemp protein (a full decade before “plant protein” became a hot seller) Several fitness programs Over the years, Wade and Matt’s passion for bodybuilding diminished and their passion for helping others achieve a biologically optimized state of health increased. For those reasons, in 2014 they rebranded to BiOptimizers. BiOptimizers has one mission: help humans shift from a sick unhealthy condition into a peak biologically optimized state.

So, what do multiple bodybuilders who have previously been on The Entrepology Podcast have in common? It is that nearly all of them, following a period of intense competition, saw a massive deterioration of their health. Now think about this: these are athletes performing at their highest level. They're at the most optimized state of physical physique — and yet, their body is falling apart on the inside. Today I am joined by Wade Lightheart. Wade is a former Mr. Universe competitor, a 3X Canadian Bodybuilding Champion, and the co-founder and Director of Education for Biooptimizers. Wade is also the host of his podcast, The Awesome Health Podcast. And all around, he's just an absolute wealth of knowledge! He's highly articulate and extremely well-researched in the areas of health optimization. In fact, it was Wade's own journey — one through watching his sister move through deteriorated health — and then his own (coming out of his bodybuilding period) that really encouraged him to delve deep into exploring this issues. What was really enjoyable about today's conversation with Wade was the way in which he was able to weave — not only a philosophical perspective on health — but some tangible research-focused elements into our conversation that related to biohacking from the inside-out. So much of Wade's work focuses on the gut and digestive health issues — because, even as Hippocrates said 2,500 years ago, all health starts in the gut. So, for anyone who's interested in taking their health to the next level, understanding how to optimize your digestive health is where things absolutely must start! And there's no better person to get us started on that conversation than Wade Lightheart himself! Key Takeaways: [1:38] About today's episode! [3:41] Welcoming Wade to the podcast! [3:48] How did Wade get to where he is, right now, today? [5:10] Is it common in the bodybuilding industry for bodybuilders to focus more on their physical physique rather than their health from the inside-out? [7:37] Was it Wade's work in bodybuilding and his own health crisis that led him to do the work that he does now? [8:49] When was Wade's ‘aha moment' of realizing the gut was the root cause of all the downstream effects he had been seeing in his own health and others? [10:37] The key metrics Wade wants people to look at in order to measure their health. [12:47] When Wade is working with some with respect to gut health, where does he start with them? And what is the process he takes them through to get them back on track? [23:01] Wade shares his thoughts on the attention people get from being sick. [26:50] How Wade defines health. [27:15] Wade speaks about some of the interventions on how to begin remedying gut issues and restore optimal digestion. [31:26] Should we be supplementing enzymes? And should you stay on them consistently? [42:58] Wade's key performance indicators! [45:45] Where to learn more about what Wade is up to!

Wade T. Lightheart is the host of the AWESOME Health Podcast, a three-time All Natural National Bodybuilding Champion, an advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute, and a co-founder at BiOptimizers Nutrition – and all of this contributes to his mission to help others fix their digestion and transform their health with the daily practice of positive principles, rituals, and optimizers. Because ¼ of the population is on medications for digestion, with millions more suffering from common digestive issues, such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, Leaky Gut, and acid reflux. Most have also damaged their gut health through the use of antibiotics, antibacterial cleansers, GMO food, and other toxins. That's why focusing gut health is non-negotiable. You must correct your gut in order to thrive. Wade actually participated in the Mr. Universe bodybuilding competition as a drug free vegetarian – and that's quite out of the ordinary, if you've ever met a bodybuilder. These are people who maximize their protein input to maximize muscle gain, often with the assistance of drugs, and that all puts a pretty strong toll on the human body... especially the gut! In Wade's effort to compete at this level without animal protein, he ended up making a mistake that, ultimately, changed the course of his life. He replaced all of the protein in his diet, pretty much all at once, with whey protein. He bloated up from water and he felt terrible, and then he got some life-changing advice from an exceptionally fit and healthy senior citizen: He had spent years learning how to build his body from the outside in, but he hadn't learned how to build a body from the inside out. Over the next four years, with the assistance of some enzymes and probiotics, Wade was able to not only regain his physical form, but feel way better than he ever had before. He entered the world championships again, but instead of eating 250 grams of protein like most competitors, he was only eating 85-100 grams every day, and all of it was plant protein. And it isn't just the food that you eat – it's also the enzymes and nutrients in your body. It took him four years to figure out the science of digestion and how to design a performance-based lifestyle, but now he teaches others through his podcast, BiOptimizers, and books. Because performance isn't just based on the food you eat, or at least not the way you traditionally think of food. It's not just about getting the right amount of calories. It's about consuming the enzymes and probiotics that aid the digestive process. Because, naturally, all species on this planet eat an enzyme-rich diet – except some humans. We're used to chemically-enhanced foods that trick our brains, and even cause us to become addicted, or we cook our foods in ways that damage the enzymes our bodies need. And as a result, our bodies slowly break down into dysfunction. Our bodies don't all need the exact same things to function optimally, like not all cars need the same parts or fuel, so it does take some work and education to figure out what works best for you. But this also isn't a journey you should take alone. Even Wade, who is an expert in this field, has a Jedi Council for his health: a chiropractor, a metabolic guy, an epigenetics guy. He has all of these people giving him feedback so that he can course correct when necessary, and this is an important step that a lot of people just gloss over.
