Summary

In this episode Alec is joined by Wade Lightheart, co-founder and president/director of BioOptimizers, to discuss Wade’s latest book that he co-authored with his business partner and friend Matt Galant, the Ultimate Nutrition Bible. This book is the book to end all diet dogma and diet wars. As you’ll hear in this episode, Wade and Matt are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to diet and nutrition, but they both recognize both the dogma that is present, and the nuance that is required to ensure wellness in the age of diet gurus and diet wars— and that is what helped them birth a book like no other on diet and nutrition.
