Summary

Hey! It is Natalie Jill! Today on Midlife Conversations I am chatting with Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart from BIOptimizers to discuss the importance of factors like HCL, probiotics, and more in our diets. Wade, once a vegetarian, and Matt, originally on keto, had their paths converge. Despite popular belief that diet reigns supreme, what truly matters is understanding how nutrition functions. A critical assumption prevails among nutritionists: that everything consumed is effectively utilized by the body. However, this is far from reality. Even with the highest quality food, effective breakdown and absorption are essential for nutrients to enter the bloodstream and provide fuel.

 

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Optimal health is about what we DIGEST, not just what we eat

  • The importance of gut health and digestion in midlife issues

  • Why BiOptimizers takes gut health and digestion so seriously

  • The concept of enzymes and probiotics in aiding digestion

  • Misconceptions around bloating and gas

Hi, I want to welcome you to Midlife Conversations. I'm Natalie Jill, your host, and I help

0:04.6

midlife women redefine and rebrand aging. On this podcast, I do what I do best, taking complicated

0:10.9

information and conversations around aging that are relevant to us now and breaking it all down

0:16.3

simply with actionable steps that you can implement to level up your life because your best years are yet to come.

0:23.1

I also regularly interview some of the most inspiring people living in their best midlife years.

0:28.4

On this show, I cover topics about our health, hormones, navigating weight, blood sugars, our mood, focus changes, even our relationships, career changes, beauty, and more.

Today on Midlife Conversations, I've got the founders of bio optimizers on. I've got Wade and

0:47.4

Matt, and I was dying to jump in and talk with them today because, as you all know, you've

0:51.7

been following my journey with gut health, learning about

0:54.2

leaky gut, learning about all these underlying things that I was chalking up to midlife issues

0:59.8

like perimenopause and menopause. I thought it all had to do with just aging badly.

1:05.0

And I really learned, and you've all followed my journey with this in the last year and a half,

1:09.4

how much our gut plays a

1:11.3

role in all of these things, all of these things. I've talked to you about gut testing, how I found

1:16.3

things out. We've talked about parasites. I even talked about removing other toxins from my life,

1:21.2

but I've wanted to go deeper on why do we need to do certain things? Like, why do we need to add

1:26.8

in HCL to our diet? Why do we need to take certain types of probiotics and what do we need to do certain things? Like, why do we need to add in HCL to our diet? Why do we need to take certain types of probiotics and what do we need to look for in that? What do we need to do to protect our gut aside from just the normal eating well, drinking great water, you know, moving our bodies? What else do we need to do? Because if you are like me in any ways, you've not believed that you had leaky gut or a problem going on with your gut. So thank you so much for being here today, Wade and Matt. I can't wait to jump in and talk with you. We're excited. Yeah, thanks for having us. Let's back up a minute because how did you all get into this industry to begin with? Like, I know Wade that you were a bodybuilder. I know that you both

2:01.0

were interested in these things, but how did this even come about? How was your company born?

2:05.3

Yeah, great question. So, you know, you scratch your own itch essentially. So, you know,

2:11.8

I came to popularity because I was one of the first vegetarians to ever go to the Mr.

2:17.8

Universe contest. And Matt said that's really weird and unusual. Let's create a company.
