In this podcast interview between Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks and Zeco Narado from The Matter Over Mind Experience podcast, Zico shares his journey from being underweight in his childhood to achieving a healthy and fit lifestyle. Growing up in Jamaica, Zeco had a preference for snacks over cooked food, which led to his underweight condition. When he moved to the U.S. at 16, he realized the need to gain weight and started weight training and learning about nutrition.
Over the years, Zeco's weight fluctuated, but he never developed an eating disorder. However, he realized that despite being fit, he wasn't healthy. He had asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, and eczema. A pivotal moment came when he sought advice from a doctor and was only recommended medication. This spurred his journey into exploring alternative approaches to health.
Zeco began reading books by Dr. Steven Gundry and learned about lectins and anti-nutrients in plants. Initially skeptical, he started making small changes, such as sprouting beans and washing rice, practices he remembered from his grandparents. These changes gradually improved his health, including better breathing and increased energy. Zeco delved into various aspects of holistic health, including nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle changes.
Ultimately, he not only maintained a healthy weight but also improved his overall health. Inspired by his transformation, Zeco obtained certifications in fitness and nutrition, launched his own podcast, and connected with experts in the field to educate others about the importance of gut health, nutrition, and holistic well-being.
Brad Williams shared a similar journey triggered by a lower back injury, which led him to focus on gut health, allergies, and overall well-being. Both Zceo and Brad emphasize the importance of optimizing the body as one ages and the significance of the mind-body connection in maintaining health and longevity. They stress that feeling good should be prioritized over aesthetics and advocate for educating people on these vital topics through podcasts, YouTube, and discussions with health experts.
