Do you feel both captivated and exhausted by city life? Are the conveniences worth the chaos? In this episode of the Rooted in Wellness podcast, join me, Wade Lightheart, and Matt Gallant as we explore the challenges of maintaining balance in busy urban environments and the serene contrast of ashram life.

We'll tackle the obesity epidemic, misleading health food marketing, the benefits of GLP-1 agonists, monitoring biomarkers, proper digestion, TRT for women, and more.

Wade Lightheart is a 3-time Natural Bodybuilding Champion and Director of Education at BiOptimizers Nutrition. Matt Gallant is the CEO and Co-Founder of BIOptimizers, with over 15 years of supplement formulation experience.

Together, they've authored The Ultimate Nutrition Bible, an incredible, science-backed guide to mastering any diet.
