Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:30 – I’ve actually played around with different processes, I’ve done dehydrate, like, basically hydrated than dehydrated down to the time of my show. It’s been so tight that I’ve tried to lick the water off my toothbrush on that Friday before the show. I know that there are ways of not cutting your water, like this last show, that I did it for.

20:00 – If you actually know what your body fat percent is, that will also play into getting that number into you. A lot of the times I’ll find that people are not as active, they’re not as conditioned. That’s a big key in deciding where your calories are, the more conditioned you are changes that process.

27:30 – So let’s talk about the muscle, if you don’t strength train your muscles, it’s just like going you’re not using it. It’s going to slowly decrease in strength in size. So it’s a muscle that changes size. So the bigger it is, the stronger can be the more blood flow to the to the muscle you get and that it’s hungry. So if you look at my body fat and my muscle, it is a certain percent. You can take somebody else with the same weight, but just a different composition, and maybe they have less muscle mass. I will require more calories, because my I have more muscle to feed. So if you just kind of let that go, you’ll see, like my own BMR is so low. I don’t want to just eat 1200 calories. If you get to increase your muscle size, you’ll also see a correlation with your BMR to go like going up very nice.

38:00 – I’m putting out another book. Actually, my nine year old daughter’s gonna help me write it because I want to help parents with their kids nutrition. She’s nine and she’s very passionate about writing, and eating healthy. All of my kids are but they’re still kids. But you know, we’re still teaching them to look at the labels that you need to know.

55:00 – Digging in to shopping tips and nutrition as we close out the show.

01:03:55 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I talk about act as if… , and you need to finish that act as if, you know, I was put into a couple of different situations where I didn’t think I didn’t want to land there. But I was there and now I had two decisions I either needed to just kind of feel bad for myself and just kind of like, alright, just throw in the towel, or I need to act as if I know what I’m doing and just get out. That was my point of acting as if we’re going to be in situations where you feel unfit. You’re going to be in a situation where you don’t feel like you’re fit enough to start eating healthy. Or you’re not in the right spot to start taking care of yourself or even to just do some activity. You’ll always feel that way. There’s not going to be a perfect time but you need to act as if that you give a damn, you’re going to need to act as if you can do it. Even though you might not be able to, and that’s my biggest message. It is if you start acting, you’ll start believing, you’ll start doing, and then you’ll be able to celebrate all your accomplishments.

256: Toxins, Your Gut, and Bodybuilding

Scott Mulvaney — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 17:00:00 +0000

Living All Natural Requires Hard Work. Staying Alive In A Toxic World Is Even Harder. Learn About Toxins Impact On Your Gut Health and Much More:

Wade T. Lightheart, the host of the AWESOME Health Podcast, is a 3-time All Natural

National Bodybuilding Champion, advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute and

Director of Education at BiOptimizers Nutrition, one of the world’s most innovative

nutritional supplement companies. He is also the author of several books including

the best-selling books, “Staying Alive in a Toxic World” and “The Wealthy Backpacker.”

The AWESOME Health Podcast is a big part of his mission to help others fix their digestion and transform their health with the daily practice of positive principles,

rituals and optimizers.

Finally Live With Awesome Health. – Wade Lightheart

Few alive have traveled farther or crusaded harder on behalf of helping individuals

transform their digestive health, wellness and overall lives than Wade T. Lightheart.

After competing in Mr. Universe and his health failing him following a competition

victory, Wade began to search for answers. In the process, he learned so much about

what makes digestion work, along with other principles that form what he calls the

AWESOME Health system. Wade’s journey into vegetarianism and bodybuilding took

his health to new heights, empowering him to help others with a unique perspective.

Wade also serves as an advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute and is the

Co-Founder and Director of Education at BiOptimizers, a digestive health company.

Top 3 Hot Points:

Cut Sugar, Grains, and Toxins
Bodybuilding Diets Can Trigger Gut Health Issues
Rebuild Healthy Gut Bacteria

Final Words:

First, I think if you’re listening to the podcast, you probably have an interest in health and performance and being the next level you wouldn’t be otherwise you’d be watching something distracting. So first I want to honor that.

Second I want to say is be willing to experiment, be willing to take steps you can always on to nowadays you can usually find someone that’s already been down that pathway that you want to experiment with and you can see if that works for you. I think that’s a great tool.

Third, always keep learning because the game keeps changing all the time.

Then the final piece I would say is don’t underestimate the power of fixing your digestive system. My business partner is a ketogenic guy, I’m a vegetarian, we’re both as far off the spectrum of mutual formats or dietary choices. We’re dietary agnostic, and what I mean by that is that I think that everybody should choose the diet that works for their lifestyle, their genetics, and epigenetics. Remain flexible enough that they’re willing to spend a bit of time experimenting with other things in order to see if there’s something they might be able to add from some other perspective as opposed to narrowly attacking other people because they’re doing something that’s right for them, which I think is so asinine.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] The good news is if you’re not happy with where things have led you to this point, all you have to realize is that you need to take yourself and the seed of potential and plug it into a different environment.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:45″] What’s interesting is almost every person that I’ve interviewed, has produced something really cool or has gone through some sort of extreme challenge or transformation in their home life.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] There is significant evidence that we’ve got major issues right now. For example, 12% of the hospital visits right now are related to gastrointestinal illness.
[spp-timestamp time=”39:30″] I think the Surgeon General said that 90% of the illnesses that are being treated in hospital today’s are actually lifestyle-related illnesses. The problem is that the environment is so toxic to that person and that person is so poorly educated in fact, he’s indoctrinated into beliefs that were guaranteed at this dysfunctional level of health or certainly what they’re capable of. Plus, that there’s almost no hope for that individual unless they want to make radical statements and follow people who are willing to go out and fail and try these other things and come back and say, hey, look, here’s what I learned about this, try and avoid this.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:30″] In order for me to overcome my physical challenges, I had to correct my gastrointestinal system. I had created inflammation following a bodybuilding type diet.

252: Bodybuilding, LCHF, and Transforming Your Life At Any Age!

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 08 Feb 2019 17:00:00 +0000

Top 3 Hot Points:

Weightlifting is for all ages, especially over 50-60 years of age.
Supporting LCHF, low carb, high fat, high protein for optimal health.
Stop comparing yourself to everybody else.

Final Words:

I think the all-encompassing message is never to give up on yourself, dig deep, be committed, and go find help from where Healthy People get help. That’s why we’re so excited about the online programs that we offer. Especially if you’re older, don’t give up on yourself.

That’s why the title of my book is “Debut A New You, Transforming Your Life At Any Age“. If you’re really committed to making the change, we can help you but you got to be really committed to making a change. Have yourself ready and raring to go and then bust up those excuses.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”04:45″] I’m a huge advocate for LCHF, low carb, high fat whether you want to call keto, ketogenic, etc. Just say high protein. There are so many variants of the high protein focus, but the whole key for most women is they can’t deal with many carbs unless they happen to be the thin variants, that naturally thin variant without the hunger gene.
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] Carbs are very fast acting. If you’re doing an athletic event, then you’re going to get a real quick response. You have a slower energy source if you’re just relying on fats. So that’s probably what you experienced on the hills.
[spp-timestamp time=”15:30″] So I started weightlifting and being really careful with my eating at age 59. I’m 64 now. So almost five years ago, girl, I’ve got good guns now.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:50″] The beauty of weightlifting and being conditioned is that it tightens the skin. I can’t even explain the science behind it. It happens after women lose weight and men too. You often feel like a Shar-Pei dog, with skin hanging all over the place. If you just keep lifting weights, it tightens up, I didn’t believe it at first too. That’s what happened to my abdominal situation. I lost 12 inches and had all of this stuff hanging, we call that medicine that Panniculus. That all tightened up like a panel, that’s a lower abdominal flap.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] We are so inundated with sugar, that we have numbed your palate. That’s even the problem with diet sodas. They are not benign they’re wiring your brain for sweetness, excessive sweetness. I just finally got rid of artificial sweeteners in the past year and it was a struggle. It was harder to give up then a lot of other things.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:20″] I have a great publisher Trevor Crane, if you need help with the book publishing.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:30″] Blue Blocker glasses and Dr. Jack Kruse.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:55″] That’s what we teach our women. It’s just all about them and their journey. Not anybody else. Stop comparing yourself to everybody else.

026: Team USA, Kettlebell Champion, and Team Isagenix

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 17:55:00 +0000

Team USA Kettlebell Champion Co-Host:

Having the right mindset and staying positive will drive you to do anything and be anything. It starts up there, in your mind. The visualization process and eliminating all doubt. You don’t need to waste your time on that. Worry is a wasted emotion. The feelings of worry and doubt will rule your life. You dictate what you are going to tell yourself. The conversations you have with yourself should always be positive. This positive mindset is the embodiment of today’s co-host Valerie Pawlowski of Team Isagenix.

[spp-timestamp time=”12:17″] Meal Prep
[spp-timestamp time=”13:27″] Packed on 40+lb’s. It took a year to do. It was a commitment, this was not a short term goal, this a long term goal. People always focus on the short game with that bad four letter word, DIET.

[spp-timestamp time=”42:05″] Geared to be a good employee
