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.

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.
