Manage episode 429621613 series 2483193
Have you heard the common belief that plant-based diets don’t supply enough amino acids for building muscle? That misconception may no longer be true!
In this Fitness Friday episode, I chat with Wade Lightheart, a former professional bodybuilder, and a biohacking enthusiast who defied his genetic limitations to build a champion's physique. He shares his incredible journey of transforming his body and mindset through plant-based nutrition. We discuss his experiences with various diets, the importance of understanding your unique genetic makeup, the science behind plant-based nutrition for athletes, and how to optimize your diet based on your individual needs.
Wade Lightheart is a 3-time All Natural National Bodybuilding Champion, Advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute, Director of Education at BiOptimizers Nutrition, Founder of the Prosperity & Health Alliance, and Enagic Master Trainer.
What we discuss:
- Misconceptions about plant-based diets
- Genetic individuality when selecting a diet
- A bodybuilding championship on a plant-based diet 22 years ago
- The role of gut bacteria in nutrient absorption
- Wade's experimentation with a 100% raw food diet
- Genetic limitations
- Psychological and emotional aspects of extreme dieting
