What is wrong with the DIET industry today?
There is massive confusion at every turn. That goes for the average person and even knowledgeable experts. Which way is the healthiest, most sustainable way to eat? Do I go Keto, Carnivore, Vegan, or something else?
Are elimination diets a good idea? What about detoxing or intermittent fasting? What works?! What do I do?!!
No wonder why people are so incredibly confused about which road to travel to find optimal and long-lasting health. Information OVERLOAD.
Today on the SBD podcast we have two of the brightest minds in the world of nutrition when it comes to making sound nutritional choices, the founders of BiOptimizers, Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart. We discuss all these topics and more as we dive into their latest seminal work, The Ultimate Nutrition Bible, possibly the greatest nutrition resource available today!
Matt Gallant is a kinesiologist with a degree in the Science of Physical Activity and the CEO/Co-Founder of BIOptimizers. He has been a strength and conditioning coach for multiple pro-athletes, a self-defense instructor, and has over 18 years’ experience formulating supplements. He has been successfully following a mostly ketogenic diet for over 30 years. He is also a serial entrepreneur who has built over 14 profitable companies.
Wade T. Lightheart is a Certified Sports Nutritionist Advisor and president/director of education and co-founder 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.
“Is your diet producing the result you want? Is it keeping you healthy? And can you sustain it over a long period of time? That’s all that matters.” – BiOptimizers Matt Galant & Wade Lightheart
