How can anyone be a competitive bodybuilder and a vegetarian, given all of the nutritional limits? For bodybuilder Wade Lightheart, it’s not being focused on the “isms,” and looking at this nutritional choice as a continuing “experiment.”

Wade describes his journey to winning championships and creating a very successful supplements business that began with building his own gym (not unlike the one in Rocky IV) at age 15 in rural Canada in this Living 4D conversation.

For Living 4D listeners, Wade is offering a 27 percent discount on BiOptimizer’s Upgraded Digestion package consisting of four products that Paul uses. Use the code CHEK10 at checkout.
