Feeling fatigued, experiencing muscle cramps, or having trouble sleeping? The solution to your problems may be simpler than you think: magnesium. In this episode of The Well Drop podcast, I am joined by Wade Lightheart, co-founder of BiOptimizers and a leading expert on optimizing human performance. We discuss that most people, especially women, are deficient in this critical mineral due to modern farming practices and high-stress lifestyles. We dive deep into how the right magnesium supplement can be a game-changer for navigating perimenopause symptoms and optimizing overall health, which magnesium misconceptions to avoid, how to choose a high-quality supplement, and the ideal dosage to start seeing results.Wade T. Lightheart is a Certified Sports Nutritionist, advisor and president/director of education, and cofounder of BIOptimizers. As a plant-based and drug-free athlete for more than two decades, Wade is a three-time National Natural Bodybuilding Champion who competed in both the IFBB Mr. Universe and the INBA Natural Olympia by the age of 31. At the age of 50, Wade came out of retirement to win the Open Men's and Grand Master's Categories at the INBA Ironman International, then competed at The PNBA Natural Olympia. Six months later, Wade successfully ran his first marathon in four hours.What we discuss:01:00 Context of Magnesium Deficiency07:01 The Importance of Magnesium for Women15:53 Exploring Different Forms of Magnesium21:11 The Importance of Bioavailability in Supplements27:06 Magnesium: A Key Supplement for Women34:12 Misconceptions About MagnesiumFind more from Wade Lightheart: Website: https://bioptimizers.com/ Instagram: @bioptimizersFind more from Dina and Amber:Website: www.thewelldrop.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewelldrop/ Thank you to our sponsor:BiOptimizers Magnesium: Shop here and use code WELLDROP10

This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.    We're calling it now, we're gonna get some flack on this one.

In the world of health and diet, there's a lot of snake oil salesmen out here. The cult of nutrition is very real.    Today's guest is a friend who is familiar with the false gurus that flock to the fitness space. Wade T. Lightheart is the co-founder of supplement brand BiOptimizers. We thought this chat would be a great way to answer questions we get all the time from our listeners. How do you know if you're buying into something healthy or just drinking snake oil? And is it just us, or have health and wellness trends become culty as hell? How do you cut through the noise to make the right choice for your health and wellness? Tune in to hear us talk about health, staying fit, and picking from the buffet of beliefs to find the right path for you.    Also… let it be known that: The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Angela is joined by Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart from Bioptimizers to discuss the complexities of universal nutritional optimisers, drawing from their extensive experience as trainers and their dedication to uncovering the most effective dietary strategies. Matt and Wade debunk myths surrounding calories in, calories out, and delve into the nuances of macronutrients like protein and fibre, highlighting the importance of individualised approaches to diet and lifestyle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Universal nutritional optimisers that work regardless of the diet followed are of the utmost importance When it comes to the calories in, calories out axiom, Wade and Matt stress the significance of protein and fibre intake in managing satiety and triggering anabolism. There is a great need for metabolic flexibility, including strategic fasting and spiking days to maintain body fat percentage and optimise energy expenditure. It's vital to tailor nutrition and exercise routines to align with hormonal cycles, especially for women, to maximise results and overall health. Matt and Wade share insights into their daily routines, including sleep optimisation, cognitive enhancers, and stress management techniques, showcasing a holistic approach to high performance living. BEST MOMENTS "I started doing ketogenic diets over 30 years ago. I thought that was the answer for everyone. I put all my clients on it." "The reality was about 80% of those strategies were similar. The other 20% was the nuances that we found within the individual." "I think if your sleep is hyper optimised, if you're consuming enough protein feedings a day, and it's worth highlighting that that is the biggest downside of intermittent fasting." "The reality is, and no matter how good your diet is, you're going to need supplements to fill the holes or your genetic weaknesses."   VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Join The High Performance Health CommunityFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fastingPodcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts AG1 Special Offer - https://www.drinkag1.com/angelafoster  Otter- https://otter.ai/u/FETSFL4UBH4eJogOLEYO_uatRqs?utm_source=copy_url ABOUT THE GUESTS Matt Gallant is the CEO and Co-Founder of BIOptimizers and has a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology.

Setting goals and maintaining a sense of purpose are crucial for long-term weight loss success. Understanding the unique challenges faced by women and addressing hormonal fluctuations is essential. Optimizing macronutrients, micronutrients, and fiber intake is important for overall health and weight management. Consistency, preparation, and resistance training are key factors in achieving and maintaining weight loss goals. Consistent eating habits can have psychological benefits and positively impact gut health. Traditional health advice may not always lead to optimal health outcomes, and individuals should take control of their own health.   Time Stamps: 00:00 Introduction and Reverse Dieting 03:15 Setting Goals and Psychological Edges 04:40 Weight Loss and Battling Biology 08:16 Strategies for Long-Term Success 10:29 Addressing Women's Unique Challenges 18:13 Optimizing Metabolism and Hormones 21:01 The Importance of Nutrigenomics 22:26 Macronutrients and Micronutrients 25:30 The Role of Fiber in the Diet 32:03 The Four Phases of Ketogenic Adaptation 35:00 The Importance of Micronutrients 42:05 The Impact of Exercise on Metabolism 47:28 The Role of Psychology and Emotions in Weight Loss 55:06 Key Strategies for Success 58:22 The Importance of Protein, Preparation, and Resistance Training 01:00:43 Consistency and Decision-Making 01:02:39 The Benefits of Consistent Eating Habits 01:03:38 The Importance of High-Quality Sleep 01:04:37 The Impact of Micro Exercise Movement 01:07:23 The Flaws in Traditional Health Advice 01:09:12 Investing in Health for a Better Quality of Life 01:10:10 The Ultimate Nutrition Bible Resources Matt Gallant is a kinesiologist with a degree in the Science Of Physical Activity and the CEO/Co-Founder of BIOptimizers.

  A beauty, a biohacker, and a beast walk into a podcast… No joke - what do you get when Wade T. Lightheart invites a dynamic duo like Rachel Varga and Katie Moore onto the show? You get a beauty (Rachel) with clinical skincare experience, a hardcore wellness and longevity expert that tests every biohacking tool on the market (Katie), and a beast (Wade) whose ignorance about skincare might make you spontaneously combust! Seriously, listeners who tune into this episode are in for a lot of fun as these two high-powered female entrepreneurs bring a whole lot of energy and knowledge on healthy, youthful skin to the AHP audience.   Be sure to hit “Play”: it's not often you find free biohacking skincare tips that can lead to a younger-looking YOU (in just a couple of months.)  What do these ladies bring to the show table?  Rachel is a Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (since 2011) who has worked with thousands of patients and performed about 20,000 rejuvenation procedures. She is incredibly passionate about helping other people look and feel better using proven therapies on the biggest organ of your body (skin.)  Katie is a biohacker on a mission to help you achieve success without sacrificing health and happiness. She specializes in sleep and also covers a plethora of additional health topics and gadgets. Her YouTube channel is quickly growing into a “must-watch” destination for those interested in wellness, performance, and longevity. In this podcast, we cover: How Rachel tactfully tells her clients what is going on with their skin How skincare and biohacking can work together What is “derma rolling”? Why men are increasingly interested in skincare Why do humans struggle with wrinkles and other signs of aging How Katie and Rachel work together transforming their clients Laser treatments for skincare - should you use them?  Non-surgical options for skin health The typical daily routine for Rachel and Katie What is the skin perspective from the biohacking community?  Early in the show, Wade asks Katie to describe how the biohacking community looks at skincare - something that many other biohackers out there don't spend much time on.  Katie said this: “As I see it - you take care of your inner self and take care of your nourishment, making sure you are properly hydrated, eating the right foods. Your skin is a literal reflection of what's going on inside of you.” “I find that when I'm eating the healthiest, getting the right amount of sunlight… granted, I do live in Hawaii where there is plenty of sunlight all the time, but I also realize that too much of anything - even anything good - like too much sleep is going to be harmful on your body, mind, spirit, and your skin.” “So, I always look at what's going on inside of you before I even add any external products.” “That's my indication that someone is healthy when they have naturally glowing skin. It's a good sign.”  What's the difference between the skin on the body vs. skin on the face? Wade asks Rachel why his body skin looks more youthful than his facial skin. Here is a snippet of her response: “There are different skin cell receptors on the face versus the neck, chest, hands, and the rest of the body. When I'm working with clients, I work with a lot of male celebrities.” “Because guys want to look good, too. They want to make sure that they look as hot as their counterparts and all of that. It's great.” “When couples can share products - I encourage that with my clients, even though the skin cell receptors are different on the face, neck, chest, etc.”  She then segues into dermal rolling.  What is dermal rolling? Something you need to know if you're unhappy with your skin and want to look younger. Women are more comfortable talking about skincare secrets than men tend to be. Let's put it this way - Guys! Do you want to look like Tom Cruise? (Tom is 59 years old, btw.) Then don't be scared - jump into your youthful skin that's waiting under your aging skin with Rachel and Katie! Don't skip this episode!

He's probably the best-known chef in the world when it comes to vegan dining.  Matthew Kenney didn't start as someone you would expect to become a leader in the plant-based cooking field. That's because Matthew grew up in Maine, where fishing and hunting were a big part of his family's way of life.  But many years ago, before most futurists and business speculators could see it - Matthew caught a vision of where the food industry was going and how plant-based cuisine would one day explode into the billion-dollar business it is today. His career is jaw-dropping for anyone who understands the food business's ins and outs, yet Matthew is still growing. He's planning more exciting things as plant-based cuisine and vegan products continue to grow in popularity.  When Matthew first switched from including animal protein in his repertoire to exclusively plant-based cuisine, many of his colleagues thought he was crazy. At the same time, the food media stopped covering his work.  Feeling alone and isolated, Matthew struggled through some highly lean years. Thankfully, he persevered, and his work contributed to the paradigm shift that we see today. Now, pretty much every restaurant offers at least a few vegan options. Meanwhile, vegan restaurants continue to multiply.  Matthew takes us through his incredible journey during his conversation with host Wade T. Lightheart - who asks his usual probing questions to draw out Matthew's story and what makes him stand out enough to become famous as a plant-based chef. Not only is Matthew the world's leading chef of plant-based cuisines, but he is also the author of twelve books and a best-selling memoir. He is a culinary educator highly respected throughout the halls of all primary cooking schools.  As a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, Matthew went on to work in upscale New York kitchens, opening up several of his restaurants along the east coast.  His awards include being named one of America's Best New Chefs by Food & Wine Magazine. Matthew was also twice nominated as a Rising Star in America by the James Beard Foundation.   Matthew regularly appears on various media channels, including all the well known talk shows, and presented two TEDx talks that are still highly viewed (link below.)   In this podcast, we cover: The ups and downs Matthew saw while shifting into gourmet vegetarian cuisine What motivated Matthew to push ahead as a pioneer when everyone thought he was making a mistake The traits that make someone a talented plant-based chef How the Matthew Kenney Cuisine brand grew to world dominance How an experienced chef uses art, fashion, and architecture for culinary inspiration The dessert Matthew makes that Wade can't get out of his head A new plant-based fast-food drive-thru Matthew recently opened How Matthew keeps his restaurants on the cutting-edge of vegetarian cuisine Where Matthew sees his company going in the next ten to twenty years   When your career aligns with your passions and principles - magic happens. No matter what industry it is, when a person finds a vision that aligns with their personal beliefs, this is often the secret formula that enables them to leapfrog over their career to the highest levels of success.  This is what happened with Matthew. His love for food and wine intersected with his passion for health and environmentalism. Matthew didn't like how many of his tastiest dishes made him and others feel like crap the next day in his early days as a chef. As someone who wanted to achieve optimal wellness and nourish the environment, Matthew found a path that aligned good food, health, and environmental integrity.  Matthew tells Wade at one point, “The chef's role is not only to feed and entertain but to nourish people and the environment. This is the most aligned path I have ever experienced. I have always been motivated by the fact that if I don't keep going, I'm not going to be able to share this with people and not show what can be done, to teach others how to do it...I'm lucky that I was able to stick it out.” Everything is creative. Matthew is a true polymath with many additional interests outside of food, including fashion, art, architecture, music, and writing. His brand has become multifaceted over the years, as his new clothing line is about to launch.  The pandemic pushed his business into other creative areas. For example, Matthew's business creates a ton of content and recently produced a series of educational cooking videos for people to learn cooking skills online. The course was projected to receive a few hundred students. However, because of the lockdowns, more than 500 people signed up for the video course the first month. Matthew says, “We're always shifting our business model. Right now, 85% of our company's revenue is from restaurants.

In this episode, Wade chats with two sisters, Lauren Sambataro and Renee Belz, who grew up in a health-driven family. Their dad was “the original biohacker” and a pioneer in holistic dentistry.  Dr. Sambataro was one of the first dentists in the country to pivot his dental practice away from mercury fillings.  His influence made a strong impression on Lauren and Renee. Although they like to point out that their upbringing was not too extreme - as kids, they still enjoyed mac-n-cheese and peanut butter sandwiches! But Dr. Sambataro taught his daughters how to be independent minded and question everything - a principle sorely needed in this day and age.   Renee has quite a story: after years of dealing with many health issues - including a long battle with the Epstein-Barr virus - she became fed up with allopathic care and decided to go the functional medicine route to find the root causes of her chronic fatigue and brain fog. So she began doing her research. She has made a miraculous recovery, regaining her health, and is now on a mission to help others do the same.  Renee became a certified nutritional consultant and a holistic life coach with a master's degree in Nutrition along her health education journey.  Lauren is her athletic sister who works as a dancer on Broadway - her last show before the Covid lockdowns were Wicked. In the meantime, Lauren trains clients one-to-one in New York, offering virtual health coaching for anyone anywhere in the world. Her certifications include the CHEK Institute Exercise Coach, Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Pre-Post/Natal Training, and Institute for Functional Health Coaching.  The Biohacker Babes want you to discover how your unique body functions at its optimal level through their journeys to wellness.  Come join their world of biohacking in this episode with our host Wade T. Lightheart serving as the tour guide.    In this podcast, we cover: What it was like for these sisters to grow up in such an unconventional family Renee's incredible healing journey. (With Epstein-Barr syndrome on the rise, you don't want to miss this) The common issues Renee and Lauren are seeing with their clients What does the mindset of a successful biohacker look like? Using technology with intuition in their biohacking practice How to keep biohacking fun and interesting The interesting differences between the two sisters who grew up in the same household Some tech tools the babes like to use for biohacking How “the jab” is affecting Lauren's Broadway career How Lauren and Renee are moving forward in this “new normal”   How their dad's questioning mindset made them tenacious biohackers At one point, Wade asks Lauren and Renee to unpack their “questioning mindset.” How did it develop? They know their dad played a big part. But how did this passion for finding answers to their health issues (and not blindly accept conventional medicine) rub off on them?  Lauren said, “I don't know. I think it probably leaked into the subconscious. When Renee had her burnout, I had my version of burnout - what they used to call adrenal fatigue. My cortisol was super low. Renee had mononucleosis which turned into Epstein-Barr and chronic fatigue.” “When you get answers from your doctor like “you're fine. You're normal.” That's not okay. That's unacceptable. You want to find out more. There are amazing resources available to us now.” Renee unpacked her journey by saying, “My journey led to burnout. I ended up with chronic fatigue syndrome in my early twenties. My doctors were saying that my labs were normal. Just keep sleeping. You need to sleep more. I was sleeping 13 to 14 hours a night. I ended up with Epstein-Barr, virus, mercury toxicity, HPA axis...I just had to keep searching and putting my puzzle pieces together to figure out what I needed to do. So I started studying nutrition. I graduated with a degree in international business and got my “dream job” and hated it.” “My dad then asked me, ‘what is your Friday night essence?'”  And that started the journey to becoming biohacker babes.  A peek into Renee's online coaching practice.  When Renee first began coaching people how to address their health issues using online tools like Zoom or Skype, she described how at first, she would put on nice clothes and try to look “professional” during an online coaching call.  She also presented herself in a “dry and scientific” way. What is interesting is how Renee noticed her clients would mirror her. Their energy would match her energy. If she were serious, the client would be serious. Over time, she realized her clothing and hair worries were unproductive and unnecessary.  She began letting herself be silly and brought humor into her coaching sessions. She would be sure to laugh during their talks, and sure enough, the clients then loosen up and laugh as well. Her decision to conduct coaching in a “joyous, positive, lighter way” instead of being so serious made a massive difference in her coaching business - for both her and her clients.   You can feel the healing energy coming through your audio speakers while listening to this dynamic duo. The Biohacker Babes love helping people overcome the health challenges that conventional medicine casts away - “it's all in your head,” they say. But Lauren and Renee are persistent forces of nature who do not settle for that. Tune in and hear what biohacking did for these two beautiful souls.  Check out this episode - the path to feeling better is one tenacious health coach away!     Episode Resources:  Check out more of the Biohacker Babes Biohacker Babes Podcast on Apple Podcasts Biohacker Babes on Instagram Lauren & Renee on YouTube  Biohacker Babes on Facebook Renee Belz's Personal Website Lauren Sambataro's Personal Website Renee Belz on Instagram Lauren Sambataro on Instagram

In this era of medical misinformation and propaganda, we need a voice of reason. We found one!  Our host Wade T. Lightheart was super excited to have Dr. Sanjay Gupta back on the Awesome Health Podcast because Dr. Gupta is one of the most outstanding communicators for sharing medical information with the public. He has a real knack for presenting scientific knowledge in a simple, straightforward style. Dr. Gupta advocates for the public to have free access to reliable, jargon-free health information. He delivers once again!    Every time he comes on the show, Dr. Gupta brings level-headed health knowledge, tips, and hacks to help you be healthy and stay healthy.  He is a cardiologist whose specialty is providing patients with non-invasive cardiology and imaging services.  This is a timely podcast, as over half the conversation focuses on the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting mRNA vaccines. Wade asks the doctor some good questions about what's happening out there with the virus and the subsequent vaccines. Dr. Gupta doesn't flinch - he provides straightforward, transparent, honest answers that do not have any hidden agendas.  The other half of this conversation focuses on blood pressure. As a cardiologist who believes in prevention, not just reacting to symptoms, Dr. Gupta reveals some fascinating aspects of blood pressure that many lay people don't know. If you are getting older or deal with blood pressure issues, this information is something you don't want to miss.  Here's a quick overview of what you'll get... In this podcast, we cover: Dr. Gupta's experiences during the pandemic How to get solid, accurate Covid information and skip the propaganda Recommendations from Dr. Gupta on protecting yourself from Covid How Dr. Gupta determines if a patient is ready for major surgery Is the push for mass vaccinations in the middle of a pandemic a mistake? Why everyone needs easy access to accurate medical information Fascinating insights about blood pressure you probably haven't heard How to spot heart disease in the eyes and kidneys In the context of personal growth, what's the difference between “stretching” and “growing”?  We should never have a society where people are afraid to ask questions. This is Dr. Gupta's foundational philosophy with his medical practice. His commitment to patiently answering questions for his patients is more robust now as Covid brought new challenges.  Here's some more on this from Dr. Gupta: “This is a fundamental problem. It's clear to me that people are getting sicker. Why? Is it the food? Ingredients in the food? How do we sort out the experiments needed to determine these answers? The problem is this propaganda today. We should never be afraid to ask questions. The answers should be found in properly designed experiments geared to answer our questions.”  “However, unfortunately, that isn't allowed to happen because the minute you say something, you get branded anti this or that.”  “I think the point is simple: you should be able to ask questions. Then you design an experiment that answers important questions.” “For example: if you have a population of a billion people vaccinated, and then we start seeing things like more chronic fatigue syndrome, or more migraines, or whatever, how do you determine what's going on? It's going to be difficult to tease out.”  Dealing with Covid as a young person vs. an older person At one point in his conversation with Wade, Dr. Gupta said, “This is why the younger, healthier, more independent will cope fine both with some of the social distancing and social isolation. But the older population, the people who have the most chance of suffering if they get the virus, also struggle more with the mental consequences of being trapped in their house. Suppose a vaccination program offers you some hope that you can get out of the house. For an 80-year-old person, quality of life is more important than the length of life. Most 80 year olds will say they want some quality in my last few years. So why deprive them of that?”  “That's why it was important to come up with something like a vaccination program, which gave people hope that they would be okay going out.” “We won't know if the vaccines or social isolation and lockdowns are what's working. How do you tease out whether the effectiveness is from the vaccination or the lockdown as things are opening up? It will be interesting to see what happens.”  This is so refreshing to listen to a caring doctor who doesn't like hype or manipulating people. He wants to give you honest facts about Covid and heart disease - not sensationalistic anecdotes. Dr. Gupta keeps it real, and he uses science, level-headedness, and open-mindedness to help people get answers.  And the talk about blood pressure is eye-opening. For example, if a BP reading happens to be on the higher side, you don't have to panic. Retake your BP again 30 minutes later. That higher score might be because you're nervous about seeing the doctor.  Check out this episode - some Covid clarity and heart health hacks could be good for you!    Episode Resources: Dr. Sanjay Gupta's two main websites: drsanjayguptacardiologist.com Yorkcardiology.co.uk Episode 55 with Dr. Gupta: Keeping Your Heart Healthy Sanjay Gupta YouTube Channel Sanjay Gupta on Facebook AHP Listeners in UK get 15% off total order with code: DRSANJAY15 on BiOptimizers.co.uk

Laughter is the best medicine - something biohackers should take seriously.  The healing power of laughter is why our host Wade T. Lightheart invited comedian Brent Pella to show that comedy is a great stress release. Studies show a correlation between laughter, healing, and health. That's why comedy is essential to Wade. When he is with friends, comedy is a big part of their relationship. And in his spare time, Wade enjoys looking up his favorite comedians on YouTube.  But Wade is troubled by what's happening these days with Big Tech censorship. America's 1st Amendment is under attack by both politicians and by corporations. ‘Wokeism' dramatically influences the nation's culture - Generation Z is learning to devalue free speech and to be easily offended. Political correctness is impacting the comedy industry in dramatic ways.  As a comedian, Brent Pella knows firsthand what the atmosphere is like out in the field. He's found success on YouTube - Brent's comedy videos have received over 100 million views.  However, in this episode, he shares how one of his episodes got banned by YouTube. The reason they gave him for the ban will disturb you.  Where is comedy going in all this?  Brent is the perfect guest to help us navigate the comedy scene. His resume includes features on MTV, Funny or Die, WorldStar Hip Hop, BroBible, The Chive, Unilad, 9Gag, LadBible, and more.  Trained in both the UC-Berkeley and famous Groundlings improv/sketch comedy programs in Los Angeles - Brent makes people laugh across North America at colleges and comedy clubs. Brent was born and raised in Davis, California, and a former athlete who played basketball in college. He won't let go of his dream to play in the NBA.  In this podcast, we cover:   Brent's journey becoming a comedian How comedians today deal with ‘cancel culture' How comedians workaround ‘Big Tech' censorship The path to comedy superstardom in this internet age How Brent writes his jokes and prepares his stage act  The comedians' Brent admires and why How spiritual perspective influences comedy  What does it take to be a comedian?  Brent says there are two traits needed to become a comedian - stubbornness and stupidity.  In his own words: “It's stubbornness. You have to be so stupid to want to be a comedian. You have to be so dumb to think, “I'm going to go out there, and all those people are going to pay me attention and be quiet while I talk. And they're going to laugh at me and give me what I need. It's very selfish.  “So, the courage comes from stepping onto the stage - beyond that; you have to be an idiot. I say that with a lot of love.” “The number one fear for people in America is public speaking. To want to do that for a living and make money is something you have to have the courage for at the end of the day.” “I think the courage and stubbornness for me came from my competitive side because I played sports my whole life, basketball in college, and I still do. So, I think it clicked for me within the first couple of years in LA, where I was like, ‘Oh, I'm back on the court.' Know what I mean? Like everybody around me are my friends, but they're also ‘the other team.'  “For me, it was that competitive sports side of myself that flipped a switch.” “Removing the President from Twitter is nuts!” Brent and Wade talk about comedy's relationship with social media, and YouTube specifically, where Brent found an audience. While discussing the state of comedy, free speech, and censorship, of course, former President Donald Trump came up.  Here's a portion of what Brent had to say: “Regardless of whether or not you love Trump, I'll make fun of the guy until the day I die. All politics aside, removing the President from Twitter is nuts. So, when that happened, I was like, ‘Oh, this will never get better.' This is either going to stay how it is, or it's going to get worse very slowly.  “How I see it is that many people are going to start alternative social media sites, and I pray it will balance the power out. But Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are so deeply rooted in power grabs and monopoly mindsets that I predict they will do everything in their power to ensure that there is never a level playing field. Playing dirty, buying people out and then dropping the company completely, which they've done before.”   “I will assume that happens, but I am rooting for the good guys here. I see little sites popping up here and there that are like new types of social sites, new types of interaction places...I have high hopes that the playing field will balance out, and more people will put content on different platforms. As the whole blockchain world starts to be more incorporated, I think this will create new avenues for creators to get their content to people.” Free speech is not only crucial to comedy - the health and wellness community needs to be able to communicate freely as well. This refreshing and amusing conversation between two people passionate about health and freedom of artistic expression will make you think and laugh. When comedy and health combine, the synergy between the two is fascinating. Laughter is medicine - enjoy some chuckles at no charge!     Episode Resources:  Brent's Main Website: www.brentpella.com Brent Pella on YouTube Brent Pella Comedy on Facebook Brent Pella on Twitter  Brent Pella on Instagram Brent Pella on LinkedIn

“Why is Elon Musk taking us to Mars, but we are still expected to spend 8 hours a day on a dumb piece of foam?” That is the question posed by this episode’s guest - Matteo Franceschetti - a dynamic Italian entrepreneur who is disrupting the global sleep industry.  He’s on a quest to crack the code for a perfect night’s sleep using big data.  How Matteo and his business partner collect that data is where things get fascinating.     A former lawyer, Matteo is now CEO of Eight Sleep. A company focused on using technology to help people optimize their ‘sleep fitness’ and efficiency.  Matteo was a serious tennis player during his teen years.  As an athlete, that period of his life is when he started to get obsessed with physical recovery and rebounding faster after a grueling tournament or injury.  After becoming a “boring business lawyer” for two large firms, Matteo caught the entrepreneurial bug, which naturally led to working long hours. Once again, his bent toward efficiency prompted him to ask, “why do I have to sleep eight hours? Can I sleep less and recover faster?”  If you think humans “need” 8 hours of sleep to be at an optimal level of health, Matteo’s discoveries through research and data may surprise you. “Eight hours is what our body needs today because there is no technology enhancing our recovery. Elon Musk is taking us to Mars, but I still spend a third of my life on a piece of foam. We have technology everywhere. We are using technology to conduct this interview. But we spend a third of our life, eight hours every single day on something that hasn't changed for 4,000 years.” You won’t fall asleep listening to this exciting conversation between Matteo and our host Wade T. Lightheart. However, you may start sleeping like a baby after hearing the many hacks and tips on getting better sleep revealed in this episode.       In this podcast, we cover: How a lawyer in Italy became a sleep expert and sleep industry innovator Sleep compression - getting more rest while sleeping less time  How Matteo’s sleep technology “keeps you alive” by detecting early signs of illness, like inflammation, while you sleep How 8 Sleep develops its technology What is “thermal regulation”?  Everything that this sleep technology tracks in your body Things Matteo is finding in his research that positively or negatively affect sleep  Two revolutionary sleep products developed by 8 Sleep The fantastic software 8 Sleep is developing that Matteo describes as the “Tesla of sleep”  A sneak peek behind the curtain: Matteo reveals the co-founder of 8 Sleep is “kind of a genius” who can “build a space shuttle in the garage.” So he builds the latest technology, and then Matteo serves as the “guinea pig” who tests out the equipment. Matteo is always sleeping on something that the company will be releasing in a couple of years. He tests it and gives feedback to his team. The engineers then iterate until the product is consumer-ready.   What does this technology monitor while you are sleeping? 8 Sleep technology can monitor everything about your heart rate - your HRV (Heart Rate Variability). Their tech is “semi medical-grade accurate,” meaning it is within one heartbeat per minute, compared to medical-grade EKG - but you don’t have to wear anything. You go to bed as you do now, and then you have this incredible data at your fingertips  (on the app.)  8 Sleep technology also monitors your entire respiration. In the future, the tech will be able to track snoring and sleep apnea. Everything about your sleep gets observed - like when you toss and turn or when your sleep stages occur - everything - with no need for charging batteries or wearing anything during the night.  Matteo describes the 8 Sleep product as “the Lamborghini of beds.” And you can give this sleep technology a test drive for 100 Nights with a risk-free, no-questions-asked full refund policy behind it.  Time to put those sleepless nights to bed using modern technology. Matteo and his team at 8 Sleep are doing incredible work. His team includes professors from Stanford and Harvard. Tune in and tune up one of the essential parts of your day - sleeping!  Listen to this episode and start sleeping better than ever! You deserve to wake up each morning feeling refreshed.  Episode Resources: Check more about Matteo Franceschetti & 8 Sleep: bioptimizers.com/eightsleep 8 Sleep on Facebook 8 Sleep on Twitter Matteo Franceschetti on Twitter 8 Sleep on Instagram

    He’s a fitness coach and lifestyle coach with over 22 years of experience.  Our host Wade T. Lightheart was excited to get another interview with Joe DiStefano - a true winner who overcame a traumatic brain injury years ago that astounded his doctors. His unique personal story gets covered in episode 99 of the Awesome Health Podcast (link below).  After recovering, Joe built a successful health and wellness business called RUNGA - an experiential lifestyle brand that includes a robust online community of healthy-minded people. RUNGA has adapted to recent changes brought on by Covid and is still thriving today. Joe loves empowering individuals to live highly effective and sustainable lives that fuel health, wellness, and performance.  Through the course of Joe’s career journey as a fitness trainer, he has put together a unique method for sustainable happiness that is the primary focus of this episode. Listen in and discover Joe’s six life-changing methods that are so simple, anyone can do them. When done consistently, Joe’s clients achieve a reliably steady level of overall wellbeing.  Joe is also the host of the STACKED podcast, where he interviews compelling guests on topics related to health and wellness. Wade is one of those exciting guests. (Link to Wade’s interview on STACKED below.)  In this podcast, we cover: Why you cannot rely on the government to keep you healthy Joe’s six powerful methods for living life with sustainable happiness (one is intermittent fasting) The type of people reaching out to Joe and what they’re looking for How Joe defines the differences between fitness and health How Joe coaches former athletes who are aging and need to make adjustments in their fitness routines and goals Why kettlebell workouts help you sustain happiness The health benefits of cold immersion (another of the six methods to lasting happiness)  The urgency to take responsibility for your wellness in 2021 People contact RUNGA to find THIS Wade asks Joe at one point: what does a typical client of RUNGA look like, and what are their needs?  Joe describes his customer base as a spectrum of avatars. Some are like Wade - they know their stuff and want to find a community of like-minded people. Another avatar consists of fitness buffs who have not achieved their fitness goals for whatever reason - it could be a trauma or some emotional barrier or a negative relationship with food.  Joe and his team carry out a careful application process. Every person that wants to come in is personally spoken to - and heard.  Through that application process, RUNGA then curates a group of people that Joe and his team believe will work well together. This group grows close during the RUNGA four-day events. Sometimes a group that is dealing with the same issue gets curated together.  On the outside, these clients might appear quite different. However, they all need to find a sense of stillness. They need to quiet the mental chatter, addiction to the latest and greatest, new diet, new things, etc.  RUNGA brings people back to the basics. Joe’s clients have a profound interest in health and wellness, but they know something is missing, something isn’t right. They might look like Mr. Universe but still suffer health issues (like Wade did years ago.)  How to get back to daily exercise when life takes you off course for a while During the interview, Wade asks Joe how a person can get their fitness back on track after letting themselves go during the pandemic. (People in the U.S. have gained an average of 29 pounds since the lockdowns began in 2020.)  Joe’s response: “As long as you make space for (exercise), and you understand that that happens automatically, and you don’t try to force anything, it’ll happen and take you on this journey. I think we’re so used to being in control. We are used to forcing everything and working for it. We can’t let go enough.” “That’s one thing I can help people with - that understanding. I just had a call with a woman who had some surgery, and now she’s saying, ‘I gotta get back to the gym. I gotta do this.’ You know, she just had her neck cut open. She’s got a big wound there. So I’m like, “Hey, right now, be a little easy on yourself. If I told you right now to do a thousand burpees in your garage, that’s not going to be good for you. What would be good for you is to walk into your garage and peddle a few times on your bike. Pick up a kettlebell a couple of times, and leave. Because we’re trying to anchor that habit of getting into the garage, but we’re not judging what happens in the garage right now.” “All we’re doing is maintaining that habit so that the wheels don’t fall off. Then, when you’re ready to crush it again, you don’t have to start at zero because the routine of going into the garage at 10:00 a.m. never leaves.”  As the pandemic fizzles out, now is the perfect time to get back to living a more fit and healthy lifestyle. If you are tired of working out alone in your basement and are yearning to find a community of health-minded people who want to achieve a more consistent, steady level of happiness and contentment, tune in to this episode. Joe explains the six methods to feeling great every day. You just have to “anchor the habit” because the government can’t do it for you! They don’t even know how, obviously!  Listen to Joe - practice these six simple things and get ready for more energy and bliss!  Episode Resources:www.rungalife.com www.coachjoedi.com Stacked Podcast Runga Life on Instagram @rungalifeJoe Distefano on Instagram @coachjoediRunga Life on Facebook /RUNGALIFERunga YouTube ChannelJoe DisStefano on Twitter: @coachjoediJoe Distefano LinkedIn ProfileAwesome Health Podcast Episode 99: Overcoming Obstacles and Finding a Tribe with Joe DiStefanoSTACKED Podcast Episode 63: How To Reverse Magnesium Deficiency & Optimize Your Biology with Wade Lightheart Use code AWESOME for 25% off Runga Mobility balls (https://www.rungalife.com/shop/runga-mobility-balls)          

“You have an extraordinary resume!” - Wade T. Lightheart, after introducing Dr. Tara, listing her incredible achievements.  Yes, Dr. Sylvia Tara does indeed have an impressive and unique resume. Here’s the thing: our guest on this episode holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from UC-San Diego AND an MBA from the Wharton School of Business.  Why did a chemist want to study business?  “I like to think big.” That is how Dr. Tara explains her impressive degrees.   “When I got my Ph.D. and did research on fat, every tiny atom of that fat, focusing on the intricacies of how that fat interacts with the human body - there’s another part of me that likes to think big. What does this mean for people? What does this scientific information mean for the masses? What does it mean from a business sense and economic sense and a health sense? Putting biochemistry and business together helps me think. Thinking big helps me navigate in a big way.”  Dr. Tara applied her natural curiosity to fat research years ago when she became frustrated with her weight loss struggles. She noticed how eating less and exercising more than her friends was not resulting in the weight loss she wanted. She saw how some friends could eat all day and stay skinny, while other friends had an easier time losing weight.  Dr. Tara soon discovered that fat loss is a highly individualized thing. No program or diet will work the same for everyone. That became apparent. So she set out to learn all she could about fat - how it works and what people can do to reduce fat from their bodies.  In this podcast, we cover: How did Dr. Tara end up with both a Ph.D. in biochemistry and an MBA? Why do women seem to gain more weight than men? Did you know there are different types of body fat? Dr. Tara goes over each one and what each type of fat does How body fat has a “voice” and talks to your body organs Some little known facts about fat that are key to weight loss Why Dr. Tara considers fat to be an “organ” like skin or your liver or heart The relationship between your microbiome and fat If you have struggled to lose weight, here is how to shed fat right away What is “slow fat loss” or “fast fat loss?” What is a reasonable level to expect? Dr. Tara: “That is so individual. I would love to lose a couple of pounds a week, which feels healthy - nothing terrible. But I personally cannot. So for me, a pound every couple of weeks, if I’m lucky. Other people can lose a few pounds a week. It depends on how much weight you have to lose.  If you’re 300 pounds overweight, there’s no problem with losing five pounds a week or so. You should be able to do that. It’s all relative and on a scale. Crash dieting, or fasting, is something many people do now with bone broth diets and things like that. As long as you’re getting nutrients for your brain to keep ticking in your body and you feel okay with it, keep going. However, you can’t overcompensate by saying, ‘I fasted for a week, and now I’m going to eat everything. You have to be careful on that ramp back up. That’s what you have to watch. The body doesn’t like change. It doesn’t like to stop eating altogether and it doesn’t want to start eating altogether. It wants to get to homeostasis where it knows what to expect from its environment. That makes our body happy.  That’s why when you start losing weight, lowering your fat, your body’s not happy. You took your body out of homeostatic comfort and threw it into uncertainty. Now, your body tries to maintain whatever it had - like more or less fat.”   How does someone select the proper diet for them and avoid running in circles with fad diets?  Dr. Tara: “It has to work for you psychologically, socially, and biologically. If you find a very restrictive diet that requires eating only certain foods, you have to buy special foods, there’s a lot of preparation, and you’re a busy person - you’re not going to stay on that diet. Or if you don’t like a lot of rules, you’re not going to keep on that diet. So, the diet has to work with your lifestyle.  Look at fasting - some people want to eat dinner with their family. So fasting after lunch or something like that isn’t going to work. It would be best if you found a diet that works in all three dimensions and you have to be able to stay on it at least a year.  So find something you can pick for the long run. Your lifestyle and psychological preferences matter. Low-carb diets are successful. If you eat meat and high fat and minimal carbs, you will lose weight. But it has such a high recidivism rate. People come off of that diet and gain more weight than before.  Our bodies are so different individually. Keep a log of everything you’re doing. That is what I’ve done. It’s almost like self-directed dieting. Try a diet for a few weeks, and if you haven’t lost any weight, the diet is not suitable for you.”  Dr. Tara is a top expert in the subject of fat within the human body. Stop wasting time picking the wrong diet and living in a state of disappointment with your body fat. Once you understand the different types of fat, how fat works, and how fat loss works for good  (not just temporarily), you can start your weight loss journey that will succeed long-term.  Dive into this episode - these breakthrough fat facts could change your life.  Episode Resources:  Dr. Tara’s Book The Secret Life of Fat Dr. Tara on Facebook Dr. Tara on Instagram Dr. Tara on Twitter

Everything You Know About Skin Care is Wrong - with Danny Neifert Before our guest Danny Neifert dove into the four pillars of optimal skin health, show host Wade T. Lightheart asks her about the “dark arts” of skincare that mislead people into painful procedures and applications. Many skincare routines and products do more damage than good — or they do nothing at all. Danny talks about all of this from her years of experience as a licensed aesthetician with over twenty years of experience with natural product formulating and hands-on individual treatments with clients. She is a clean beauty advocate and speaker, author of Relearning Skincare, The Story of Skin and the New Way, who loves to bring skin health back down to earth through story and practicality.  In this podcast, we cover: How Danny ended up going down the rabbit hole of skincare and emerged an expert How our skin is our first line of defense - which is why we should treat our skin well - not burn, clog or scrape it abusively The “caveman” and “cave girl” skincare method The dodgy marketing techniques that suck you into the beauty aisle at your local drug store What types of skincare you should avoid The four pillars of skin health - the “bill of rights for skin” Functional medicine model: skin is hydrated, nourished, and unclogged How Danny’s skincare career started with a bottle of horrible pink goop… In her early twenties, Danny was a young mother - when she brought home her first child from the hospital. This is when Danny became mindful of the importance of taking care of our skin. She bathed her infant daughter, then applied something from KMART called baby magic. Danny remembers the product was pink and smelled like melted plastic. “Even back then, I had the good sense to give her another bath to take it off.”  Before her first child’s bath, the skin was not something Danny thought much about. Becoming a parent sent Danny on a quest to understanding our skin. She went down the “rabbit hole” of the skincare industry, spent thousands of dollars to further her education, and the twists and turns of this 20-year journey led Danny to her current skincare business that she describes as a hybrid of medical skincare and natural skincare.   Got acne? Be careful which products you choose. Danny talks about acne - what causes it and how to treat it. Most acne products you find on store shelves are astringent, which will dehydrate your skin. Danny says dehydrated skin is the most significant contributor to congested skin. Congested and dry are the same thing with skin. Our skin is supposed to be soft and permeable and a release organ. You are supposed to have a whitehead once in awhile. If you never have a whitehead, your skin is probably dehydrated.  Acne products dry out our skin at an extreme level, which causes the skin to get congested, and Danny describes the build-up as like your skin is constipated below the surface. So don’t use acne products. If you use them and don’t have acne, eventually, you will. Tune in as Danny Neifert tears down the myths of skincare. There’s a difference between cosmetic industry skincare vs. natural skincare. Stop getting ripped off by “Big Skincare.” Change the way you care for your skin and start glowing with a new radiant look - like we’re all supposed to look! Men will benefit from this episode, too. You can look years younger by implementing some simple skincare changes!  Episode Resources:  Subscribe here for the coupon code for 20% off your first order: www.skinharmonics.com/podcast Danny’s Book - Relearning Skincare: The Story of Skin & The New Way Skin Harmonics Instagram Skin Harmonics Facebook

In this episode, our host Wade T. Lightheart, Co-Founder of Bioptimizers and former competitive bodybuilder, talks to a young, up-and-coming fitness trainer named Juan Salgado, CEO of The Chosen Ones training group.  Juan’s passion for training traces back to when he was eight years old. Juan loved basketball back then and was extremely competitive even at that young age. So competitive that he organized his first training group for basketball at eight years old. He wanted to win so bad and determined his team was not practicing enough to win a championship. So Juan, the second-grader, went to Barnes and Noble, read a book on basketball drills, then after the next practice, asked all the parents if they would drop their kids off at the park for two extra practices per week. Juan hosted the exercises and found his training to be more fun than the actual games.

Wade Lightheart, Author, Athlete, Nutritionist and co-founder of BiOptimizers talks to Angela about all things digestion in this highly informative episode. As one of the world’s premier authorities on Natural Nutrition, training methods and an expert on fixing digestion Wade explains the importance of enzymes in optimising digestion and why everyone should be bolstering their diet to make sure they have the fundamental building blocks in place to be the best they can be. Wade shares great information and advice on how to get started on the journey to being the person you want to be.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Enzymes are part of the natural make up of living organisms, Every species apart from humans eat their food in a raw and natural state absorbing enzymes at every meal. Vegetarians may not get enough protein from their diet to break down into amino acids and meat-eaters can have undigested protein that they are not able to breakdown into amino acids. Some people can struggle to lose body fat because they don’t produce enough lipolytic enzymes to breakdown the fat tissue Neurochemical in-balances such as anxiety and depression also compromise gut health. When the fundamental nutritional issues are addressed there can be significant improvements. People who have problems with recovery, protein and building muscles often have neurotransmitter issues. People who have trouble with carbohydrates are prediabetic, diabetic and have trouble managing blood sugar often are lacking in amylase enzyme. People who have a lot of skin problems often have issues with lipolytic enzymes. We have altered the human species through technological innovation Track yourself to learn and understand how you work through journaling Correlate the quantitative data with the qualitative experience as a human, so, you can learn to adapt and use your intuitional awareness as you navigate life. It’s the process of becoming the person you want to be that is the important part of the journey.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Enzymes are the workers of the body every chemical reaction requires an enzyme. The difference between stones, plants and people is enzymes’ ‘You need to learn to build your body from the inside out’ ‘Every species apart from humans eat their food in a raw and natural state absorbing enzymes at every meal’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series Transform your sleep DNA optimization  High Performance website  BIOptimizers website   ABOUT THE GUEST Author, Athlete, Nutritionist and expert on fixing digestion Wade Lightheart is a 3-Time Canadian national All Natural Bodybuilding Champion who competed as a vegetarian, former Mr. Universe Competitor, host of The Awesome Health podcast, Wade Lightheart is one of the world’s premier authorities on Natural Nutrition and Training Methods.

Magnesium is the body's “master mineral” powerful over 600 critical reactions, including detoxification... fat metabolism... energy... EVEN digestion is influenced by the presence of magnesium.    There are two BIG PROBLEMS here:  Magnesium has been largely missing from US soil since the 1950s... which explains why it's estimated that up to 80% of the population may be deficient...   AND...    Most supplements contain only 1 or 2 forms of magnesium... when in reality there are at least 7 that your body needs and benefits from.    That's why I'm so excited to tell you about a new magnesium product I've been taking now called, Magnesium Breakthrough. It's the ULTIMATE magnesium supplement, easily the best I've ever seen or experienced... with all 7 forms of this mineral.   The No Sugarcoating Podcast was able to arrange for some stock to be set aside just for our audience and I guarantee it's the BEST deal available on this product.    Seriously!

Physical optimization makes a bigger impact when it moves along with spiritual optimization. How does dealing with a less than optimal microbiome, and experiencing digestive stress impact our overall optimization? Where is humanity in the spiritual enlightenment journey? What were the most transformative experiences in our guest’s life that changed his spiritual trajectory? On this episode, I’m honored to be joined by author, speaker and digestive health specialist, Wade Lightheart, who shares his journey and all the facets of optimization that matter to him.   If you have a spiritual practice or doctrine, and a way to follow, it gives you a context and perspective and a way out of the suffering. -Wade Lightheart     Three Takeaways  You cannot maintain metabolic flexibility if you have dysbiosis and an inflammatory gut. If you don’t take extreme and drastic measures to eat clean, your health will be incarcerated.  If you have food that does not get digested properly, it becomes food for the bad bacteria, which is why you wake up with brain fog, crusty eyes or low energy.  We’re on the precipice of a massive vibrational revolution. We are multidimensional beings but we’re forced to look at things in a linear way. At the start, Wade shared how he got to where he is today, and the life experiences that shaped him. Next, we talked about the emerging and frightening trend of digestive health related issues so many Americans are facing. We also talked about how society is moving into a new world and why technology is paving the way.   We also discussed:  What it takes to have a fulfilling life  The link between a healthy diet and metabolic flexibility  The moment that transformed Wade’s life spiritually   Guest Bio-  Wade is an author, speaker and the CoFounder and Director of Education at BiOptimizers, a digestive health company.

My guests on today's show are coming back for a three-peat. They first appeared in the episode... "..." Then appeared again in... They are Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart. Matt Gallant is an entrepreneur, a poker champion, an ex-rock guitarist, a serial entrepreneur (who's built 13 companies in the last 20 years) strength and conditioning coach with a degree in kinesiology, the CEO and co-founder of a company called BiOptimizers. Wade T. Lightheart, host of the AWESOME Health Podcast, 3-time All Natural National Bodybuilding Champion, advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute and Cofounder of BiOptimizers. He is also the author of several books including the best-selling books, “” and “.” This episode is for you if you you ever experience digestive issues when you eat high fat meals...such as constipation, diarrhea or a meal just sitting in your stomach... ...or if your intense exercise or peak athletic performance has taken a dip since you switched over to lower carbs... ...or if you want to experience a new level of energy, mental clarity and focus without relying on stimulants... Matt and Wade have cracked the code on solving the major metabolic deficiencies that block you from thriving on keto.  They've actually turned hundreds of people onto keto over the last couple of decades. Unfortunately, most struggled with three core metabolic issues — which Matt and Wade never knew how to fix until recently. They began doing hundreds of hours of research and testing on the different nutrients that could help solve these challenges. It wasn’t easy... it took them pouring through a TON of studies (which we talk about in today's episode)... massive amounts of real-world testing... until they ultimately discovered the perfect combination of nutrients for optimizing fat digestion, energy metabolism, and fat loss enhancement. They're thrilled to finally reveal solution that solves all of these problems—in just 7 seconds... and gives you a new level of energy that rivals coffee. Smooth consistent bowel movements and fat loss on a low-carb or keto diet are now possible. These results are made possible by a solution we talk about in today's show - a solution that takes just 7 seconds to open the lid of a bottle, pour the capsules in your hand and throw them in your mouth. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Interesting biohacks Ben, Matt and Wade did prior to recording the podcast [7:23] Wade's 3 day water fast Maintained regular workouts Rebounder in the morning, weights in the afternoon Last day, go for a long walk, then into steam room to force the body to convert fat into water How Mark prepared for the call: Microdosed vyvanse Lucy gum (nicotine) Ben: Blood draw Peptide stack Grounding and earthing mats () -About nutrigenomics [24:20] 7 keys to biologically optimize your diet: Sustainability Lifestyle Genetics Allergies Gut biome Biofeedback Goals 3 categories: Aesthetic goals Performance Health (anti-aging) Geography of ones ancestors influences the proper diet for us -Vegetarian genes [30:45] AMY1A (amylase) LCT, MCM6 (lactase) FUT, SHBG (fiber, dietary, B12) FLAD1 (biosynthesize omega 3 and 6 from polyunsaturated fatty acids) BCML1 (polymorphisms) -Ketogenic genes [38:10] CPT1A - arctic mutation for fatty oxidation FAD 1, FAD2 ADRB2 (saturated fats) APOE2 (satiation) FTO3 (body fat) LPL APOC3 PPAR Alpha (coastal adaptation) -Whether Wade follows his current diet because of his genetics [47:30] Didn't do well on a plant-based ketogenic diet, but does well overall on a plant-based diet Does great on a high carb diet "Don't discount lifestyle and environment and place all the weight  on genetics" Book: by Robb Wolf -The biochemistry of Kapex and how it addresses some of the fundamental mistakes of keto [53:23] -Specific uses and applications of Kapex [1:09:10] 7 keto DHEA raises metabolism by ~5% Increases 3 different enzymes in the liver Activates PPAR Alpha Even if you don't need it for its nutrigenomics benefits, people love the simple energy boost -Interesting biohacks Ben, Matt and Wade have planned for after recording the podcast [1:17:30] -And much more!

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.   If you want to learn more and get your gut back on track, Wade is offering Rebel Health Coach listeners FREE access to http://www.bioptimizers.com/rebel (The AWESOME Health Course)!

So first I want to honor that. Second I want to say is be willing to experiment, be willing to take steps you can always on to nowadays you can usually find someone that's already been down that pathway that you want to experiment with and you can see if that works for you. I think that's a great tool. Third, always keep learning because the game keeps changing all the time. Then the final piece I would say is don't underestimate the power of fixing your digestive system. My business partner is a ketogenic guy, I'm a vegetarian, we're both as far off the spectrum of mutual formats or dietary choices. We're dietary agnostic, and what I mean by that is that I think that everybody should choose the diet that works for their lifestyle, their genetics, and epigenetics. Remain flexible enough that they're willing to spend a bit of time experimenting with other things in order to see if there's something they might be able to add from some other perspective as opposed to narrowly attacking other people because they're doing something that's right for them, which I think is so asinine.   Resources: bioptimizers.com (http://bioptimizers.com/)   Influencers Mentioned: Dr. Anthony Jay Ph.D (http://ajconsultingcompany.com)   On This Episode You Will Hear:[spp-timestamp time="00:30"] Introduction [spp-timestamp time="10:00"] The good news is if you're not happy with where things have led you to this point, all you have to realize is that you need to take yourself and the seed of potential and plug it into a different environment.

On this episode I had the great pleasure to talk to THREE TIME natural body building champion Wade Lightheart.  Within AATH, we talk a lot about how humor and laughter impact health but (as well all know) there's more to health than laughing (although it is my preferred workout). Wade opened my eyes about a lot of health prevention issues and strategies.  AND...he gives a special offer at the end of the podcast for those who care to partake. I really enjoyed the candor that Wade shared on the show and also his ability to take some complex issues and make them easy to execute.  ENJOY! More on Wade.. Wade T.

I've been getting a lot of questions lately about the mysterious molecule I consume before I eat bread and pasta - a compound that allows me to digest gluten without any of the "bathroom decommissioning" that so notoriously occurs after a hefty bout of gluten consumption. After all, I don't want to not eat bread or pasta for the rest of my life. I find them enjoyable. But due to glyphosate exposure from pesticides and herbicides, stress, a leaky gut and other modern assailants that make gluten a bigger issue than it ever has been in human history, I use a bit of better living through science to make gluten digestible. In today's podcast, I interview the inventors of Gluten Guardian - Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart - the guys who first appeared in the podcast "" and later in my article "". Matt Gallant is an entrepreneur, a poker champion, an ex-rock guitarist, a serial entrepreneur (who's built 13 companies in the last 20 years) strength and conditioning coach with a degree in kinesiology, the CEO and co-founder of a company called BiOptimizers. Wade T. Lightheart, host of the AWESOME Health Podcast, 3-time All Natural National Bodybuilding Champion, advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute and Cofounder of BiOptimizers. He is also the author of several books including the best-selling books, “Staying Alive in a Toxic World” and “The Wealthy Backpacker.” MARGE LINK TO WADE'S BOOKS During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why Matt eats between 6-10,000 calories every Sunday...7.36 For the calorie spike. One meal per day for 6 days. A combo of healthy and regular food. Matt feels great afterwards. He takes the day off from training. -Why we should be cognizant of our gluten intake, even if we don't have celiac disease...10:30  New England Journal of Medicine listed 55 diseases that can be caused by eating gluten. Many times we're not aware of these diseases; can be immune, neurological and psychiatric. Differences between wheat germ in the gluten and gluten itself. Different type of protein. Both are resistant to digestion. Can make the gut more permeable. (Leaky gut) Amylase/trypsin inhibitors come packaged with gluten - specifically wheat. What about other factors to leaky gut such as stress and glyphosate. 4x increase in celiac disease; traced to glyphosate interrupting the digestive process. Will continue to increase due to the exposure to glyphosate.  -The use of enzymes in the preparation of food to increase its palatability...18:10 In a perfect world, you'd be eating pre-digested food primarily. You use enzymes to assist with breaking food down. -Do Matt and Wade recommend any panels for evaluating gluten sensitivity or gluten cross reactivity?...20:30 Anti-tissue trans glutaminase or endomysial antibody. Recommend Cyrex. Helps you know if other foods such as coffee or quinoa are exacerbating your level of gluten intolerance. Also testing gliad and peptide antibodies. How does gluten negatively affect the brain?...24:00 Inflames the brain by causing an auto-immune response. Antibodies intended to protect your body actually attack your body. During the digestive process, gluten can be broken down into proteins similar to psychedelic drugs. Has an addictive quality. Overloads the brain with glutamate. Irritates and damages brain cells. Negative impact on your social life. -What Wade REALLY thinks about Monsanto...29:50 They were written into protection against lawsuits by federal law during the previous administration. Demonstrable evidence of their products causing damage to the body. Has been bought out by Bayer. Food has essentially been mutated, much to our detriment. Destroy livelihoods of small farmers. -The product Matt uses to pre-digest gluten before you even eat it...37:00 Dipeptidyl peptidase 4, also DPP-4. Dissolves bread placed in water in 15 minutes (watch the video below) You take it while you eat. Does DPP-4 actually mitigate symptoms of gluten intolerance? Depends on the dosage. Can be taken as late as the day after eating. Citrusy foods have been found to inhibit DPP-4 Breaks down various hormones in the body such as insulin. -Does DPP-4 have any effect on foods not containing gluten?...45:00 Milk proteins, but not milk sugars like lactose. Good idea to add DPP-4 if you have a plant-based diet. Just mix and match until you find the right combination for you, and for the right meals. Safe for children to ingest. -More on Matt and Wade's diet and workout regimen...49:50 -How do HCL and hydrochloric acid work with Gluten Guardian?...54:55 Plays a supportive role Stomach acid decreases after the age of 35 Simulates the effects of apple cider vinegar P3-OM  Optimal time to take is before bed or first thing in the morning, rather than meal time. -Matt plays "myth busters" with colonizing properties of probiotics...58:41 -Special offer from Matt and Wade...1:04:15 Get 10% off your order of Gluten Guardian when you use code "greenfield" at 365 day unconditional money-back guarantee Brand new offer: "we'll fix your digestion guarantee" Resource from this episode: -Masszymes -Cyrex blood panel for gluten allergy -Book: Grain Brain Episode Sponsors: - utilizes sound waves to optimize sexual performance and reverse the effects of ED.
