All right, everybody. Hello, this is Chris Gethen here. Welcome to another episode of the Knowledge and MyLish podcast.

0:07.0

And today I have a very special guest that I've wanted to get on the show for quite a while now.

0:11.0

And this person has quite an awesome bodybuilding career.

0:16.0

And the last time I saw him compete was back in the UK. I've seen him compete over here in Las Vegas at the Mr. Olympia

0:23.8

and his last show being, what was the last show, John?

0:29.2

What was it?

0:30.0

March 2011 when it came second.

0:34.2

That's it, at the body power.

0:40.3

Thank you very much for coming on to the show, John.

0:44.8

I often get asked which supplement, Chris, should I be taking?

0:49.8

What is the one thing that I'm likely to be deficient in?

0:53.3

1:04.2

it's estimated at up to 80% of the population may be deficient. But here's the problem. Most of the supplements only contain

1:14.1

one or two forms of magnesium when there are at least seven that your body needs and benefits from.

1:21.6

But there's good news because there is a supplement that has seven critical forms of magnesium. It's from bioptimizers,

1:29.5

of course. Bioptimizers is one of the supplements that I've been taken for years and years.

1:34.0

I take their magnesium. I take their digestive enzyme. I take their probiotic. But we're talking

1:40.9

magnesium today. And you can get it 20% off specifically for all my knowledge and mileage listeners.

1:49.0

All you've got to do is go to www.
