Summary

Meet Ryan DeLuca: He's the founder of Bodybuilding.com, reigning Idaho champion of Nintendo, and presently the co-founder of Black Box VR.

Ryan was still in high school when he started selling fitness advice online. At 20 years old he founded Bodybuilding.com in his garage. He knew he was onto something big, but did he know he'd be leading the world's largest health and fitness e-commerce website for the next 17 years?

Under Ryan's leadership, the company skyrocketed to nearly $500,000,000 in annual revenue before he stepped down as CEO in 2015. Ryan was temporarily retired for only six months before BlackBox VR was born, merging his continued passions of technology and fitness to help people transform their lives.

Tune in to hear Ryan's story, his thoughts on the future of fitness, and his recommendations for success.

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

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

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

let undigested, protein putrefies in the gut and creates a variety of problems from bloating to

1:30.7

inflammation and beyond. And mass enzymes not only contain more proteins, it contains 13 additional enzymes,

1:40.0

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 masszimesmes.com forward slash chris 20 and that's just how it sounds mass zimes
