The Bloating Episode! If you’ve ever struggled with bloating after eating, digestive discomfort, or wondered if your body is really absorbing all the protein and nutrients you consume, this episode is for you.
I’m joined by Wade Lightheart, co-founder and president of BiOptimizers, to dive into the science of digestive enzymes and how they can transform digestion, nutrient absorption, and protein utilization. A former natural bodybuilding champion, Wade developed MassZymes after struggling with his own digestion on a high-protein diet.
We cover:
-
What EXACTLY causes bloating and poor protein digestion
-
Why low stomach acid and declining enzyme levels with age can cause bloating and poor nutrient absorption.
-
Clinical research on protease blends and a 2024 protein study showing improved amino acid absorption with enzyme support.
-
A university laboratory test on MassZymes suggesting over 1,200% more amino acids released compared to digestion alone.
-
How lipase enzymes can reduce bloating and fullness after high-fat meals.
-
Why older adults and high-protein eaters may especially benefit from enzyme supplementation for muscle and metabolic health.
If bloating, slow digestion, or protein absorption has ever held you back from feeling your best, this conversation will help you fix your bloat and unlock the full benefits of your nutrition.
