Summary
Most of us think about how many calories are in food, whether it's gluten free or vegetarian, but how many of us actually think about how well our food is being absorbed?
In this episode of The Knowledge and Mileage Podcast, Kris sits down with Wade Lightheart, a 3-time all natural national bodybuilding champion, advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute, and Director of Education at BiOptimizers Nutrition, to talk about the importance of enzymes.
Enzymes are the workhorses of digestion. Everything from thinking to blinking requires enzymes. They break your food down into usable macro and micronutrients. By improving digestion your body has more resources to allocate for mental and cognitive function.
Tune in to hear about Wade's journey and what led him to being a champion of enzymes.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, if you are over 35, maybe I'm not, maybe I am, I'm not going to let you know, |
| 0:06.1 | but your enzyme levels have already begun to decline after the age of 35. |
| 0:13.8 | So enzymes are the workhorses of digestion. |
| 0:16.8 | They break down your food into usable macro and micronutrons so you can take it in and pack on some muscle. |
| 0:23.3 | And research shows that by the time someone hits 65, their saliva and pancreatic secretions, both of which are involved in enzyme activity, can and have usually been declined by about 50%. So this decline creates chronic indigestion, |
| 0:42.6 | setting the stage for a lot of gut issues, yeast and mold overgrowth, and even malnutrition |
| 0:48.6 | to your muscle. So this is why I'm a fan of enzyme supplementation. And best enzyme that I found that comes from my friends is |
| 0:57.5 | bio optimizers and it's an enzyme called mass zines. So mass signs is the most complete and most potent |
| 1:04.8 | digestive enzyme that I've experienced with over 102% more proteins than a nearest competitor and over 3 to 500% |
| 1:13.6 | more per serving the most popular brands. |
| 1:16.6 | And that's crucial because protein is the most complex macronutrient to break down and |
| 1:22.6 | let undigested, protein putrefies in the gut and creates a variety of problems from bloating to inflammation and beyond. |
| 1:32.8 | And mass enzymes not only contain more proteins, it contains 13 additional enzymes, including lipase for fat digestion, which work at every pH level from 2 to 12, and in other |
| 1:46.4 | words, at every stage of digestion. If you go and watch Mass Zimes rapidly dissolve a raw steak, |
| 1:56.3 | all you've got to do is go to masszimes.com forward slash chris 20 and that's just how it sounds mass zimes |
