The Awesome Health Podcast
Everything you need for the best health ever
Wade T. Lightheart, 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, one of the world’s most innovative nutritional supplement companies.
Wade has been involved professionally in the nutritional supplement industry for over 15 years. After his digestion totally broke down and he gained 42 pounds following a bodybuilding competition, he began to search for answers.
Through a revolutionary doctor, he discovered the power of specific enzyme and probiotic strains for healing digestion and turned his health and life around.
The Awesome Health Podcast reflects Wade’s passion and mission to end needless physical suffering while helping individuals fix their digestion and transform their health.
This podcast is fun, yet informative show about cutting-edge health tools, technology, principles, and nutritional science that rapidly transform anyone’s digestion, overall wellness, and life. It’s both light (and at times hilarious), and highly instructional.
Each week, worldwide leaders in their respective area of health or nutrition are interviewed so that listeners can take their best insights and rapidly upgrade their bodies and quality of life.
