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.

Matt Gallant is a kinesiologist with a degree in the Science of Physical Activity and the CEO/co-founder of BIOptimizers. He’s been a strength and conditioning coach for multiple pro athletes as well as a self-defense instructor, and he has over 18 years experience formulating supplements. He’s been successfully following a mostly ketogenic diet for over 30 years. He’s also a serial entrepreneur who’s built over 14 profitable companies.

Food should bring us together, not divide us. Period. So it’s time to ditch the diet dogma. BIOptimizers founders, Wade T. Lightheart and Matt Gallant, make that their abundantly clear mission in their new book, The Ultimate Nutrition Bible. Visit ultimatenutritionsystem.com/luke and use code LUKE10 for 10% off.

Today, Wade and Matt are back on the podcast to talk about how everyone can craft an individualized diet that works for their own unique genetics, lifestyle, beliefs, and goals. Whether you’re plant-based, a carnivore, keto, or something else entirely, Wade and Matt believe you can optimize your vitality and truly enjoy your food. We also explore how to overcome the tribal identification and cult dynamics of eating, because you are not defined by the food you eat! 

We also get into ways to heal your gut, tips to beat sugar cravings, and how EMFs impact sleep, energy, and healthspan. Don’t miss some top-shelf tips toward the end of our conversation, either, as Wade and Matt share their go-to supplements for gut health. 

I have been using their BIOptimizers products for years, and they’ve made a huge difference for me. Visit bioptimizers.com/luke and use code LUKE10 for 10% off all BIOptimizers products.
