I’ve made it my mission to simplify nutrition. To destroy the myths that convince you getting in shape requires sacrificing your lifestyle.
In today’s episode I’m joined Wade Lightheart, a plant-based, natural bodybuilder, and an expert on eating for health, performance and longevity. He has an incredible amount of knowledge on how to eat and train for supreme health and vitality.
In today’s episode Wade and I sit down to discuss things such as the high-protein myth, and the diet to look and feel better than ever.
Also, be sure to check out Wade’s awesome product Masszymes. I’ve used and recommended this product for years; it’s one of the few supplements that has actually made a difference in the way I feel on a day-to-day basis.
