Physical optimization makes a bigger impact when it moves along with spiritual optimization. How does dealing with a less than optimal microbiome, and experiencing digestive stress impact our overall optimization? Where is humanity in the spiritual enlightenment journey? What were the most transformative experiences in our guest’s life that changed his spiritual trajectory? On this episode, I’m honored to be joined by author, speaker and digestive health specialist, Wade Lightheart, who shares his journey and all the facets of optimization that matter to him.   If you have a spiritual practice or doctrine, and a way to follow, it gives you a context and perspective and a way out of the suffering. -Wade Lightheart     Three Takeaways  You cannot maintain metabolic flexibility if you have dysbiosis and an inflammatory gut. If you don’t take extreme and drastic measures to eat clean, your health will be incarcerated.  If you have food that does not get digested properly, it becomes food for the bad bacteria, which is why you wake up with brain fog, crusty eyes or low energy.  We’re on the precipice of a massive vibrational revolution. We are multidimensional beings but we’re forced to look at things in a linear way. At the start, Wade shared how he got to where he is today, and the life experiences that shaped him.
