Summary

What if everything you think you know about supplementation is backwards, and the real secret lies in the enzymatic processes that bodybuilders discovered decades ago? I sit down with Wade Lightheart and Matt Gallant from BiOptimizers who blow my mind with their lab research shows 1200% more amino acid absorption when you combine the right enzymes with protein, why magnesium deficiency is literally rewiring your stress response, and how fixing gut dysfunction - which I've seen in every single anxiety patient among my 160,000 cases - transforms everything from brain fog to systemic inflammation.

0:00.0	It just hit me like the laws of thermodynamics. Energy can neither be created or destroyed.
0:04.8	So I cannot create this energy inside me. So I must be drawing upon something.
0:10.4	That's where the supplement comes in. We're feeding the body a lot of raw materials.
0:14.8	The majority of what we face as human beings is not pathology or disease per se. It's a lot of these nutrient deficiencies.
0:22.1	The first symptom is people are stressed out. And when you're stressed, you actually leach more
0:27.1	magnesium. Magnesium is really the best mineral to regulate your nervous system.
0:32.5	I am an enormous believer in the fact that the body's ability to heal itself. You've got massive use of medications over-the-counter stuff. None of that stuff works. That's something that the general public hasn't grasped, that the pill doesn't cure you. It just mitigates a consequence. And then you're on the circus of the next pill, the next pill, the next pill. Well, I think one of the biggest things people realize, holy shit, how much time am I spending thinking about food preparing food eating food

1:29.8	I'm your host, human biologist, Gary Brecker,
1:31.9	where we go down the road of everything,
1:34.1	anti-aging, biohacking, longevity, and everything in between.
1:38.3	And today I'm super, super excited because we are going to wander around the human body on everything, supplementation,
1:46.8	gut brain access, and everything that we can do to supplement from the outside to help us
1:52.2	fix what's going on in the inside. And I have two very special guests, Wade Lightheart and
1:57.3	Matt Galant from bio optimizers, buy-o-optimizers?
