Episode #120: New Products, Tips, and Biohacks to Optimize Health
My guest this week is Wade Lightheart.
In this episode, Wade and I discuss what else, but one of my all-time favorite product lines, BiOptimizers. Why such a staple? You will easily understand why when you hear about the science, integrity, constant innovation, and most importantly, the health transformations the brand offers.
BiOptimizers has quite a cult following among the high performance athletes. What’s even more interesting, if you are plant based, there is no one better to follow than Wade; he has successfully challenged the narrative of being a healthy, plant-based bodybuilder! But whether you are plant based or carnivore, or someone struggling with constipation or other digestive woes, we cover all of these points with tools along the way to be the healthiest version of yourself.
Speaking of being your healthiest version, did you know enzymes are critical to every species’ survival and they have multiple benefits depending on how they are used, not just for breaking down food? We also talk about what forms of magnesium should and should not be combined, why steroids work, fat metabolism, genetics and blood sugar, and how to make the best tasting plant based protein powder formulas. And of course we cover the newest product, CollaGenius (I love it for brain clarity!), and I even put Wade on the spot to dish on what his favorite products are, some of his guilty pleasures (‘junk food couture’ 😂), and what has kept him lean and mean over the years.

BiOptimizers: If you’re currently taking any old magnesium supplement, chances are you’re flushing it down the toilet. And I mean that literally. Did you know, the most common type of magnesium is used as a laxative? So if you’re taking it, you’re literally pooping and peeing it out. What’s worse, 80% of American are magnesium deficient, so they could be making their deficiency worse by not taking the right form! Kinda ironic, isn’t it? Magnesium deficiency affects almost every aspect of your health… Your metabolism suffers, you can’t lose weight, your blood pressure goes up, sleep suffers, and a whole lot more. So what’s the solution? It’s called Magnesium Breakthrough and it’s my favorite magnesium product that I continue to recommend. It’s the only full-spectrum magnesium supplement with 7 unique forms of magnesium that your body can actually absorb.
Sponsor Offer: This month (October 2022) only, they are including free bottles of their full line of digestive health products on select orders, while supplies last = FREE products to try that will support your digestive system!

Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is a vital molecule made naturally in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation. As we age we produce less, resulting in diminished blood flow. Berkeley Life supplements provide a dietary nitrate that the body converts into nitric oxide. This helps to maintain healthy circulation, delivering nutrients where they need to go. Nitric oxide also has topical impacts. Berkeley Life's new topical nitric oxide serum combines vitamin C and nitrite to create nitric oxide gas directly on the skin delivering oxygen and nutrients.
Sponsor offer: Berkeley Life orders can only be made using a practitioner code … You can use mine! Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off. Visit berkeleylife.com.
