The First Lady of Nutrition Podcast with Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S.

There is no one size diet plan that fits everybody, and my guests, Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart, co-founders of BIOptimizers and co-authors of The Ultimate Nutrition Bible, couldn’t agree more. On this podcast today they discuss the science behind finding the perfect diet for your body. Matt and Wade waste no time in breaking down the “pyramid of nutritional decisions” to help listeners determine which diet works best for them—whether it’s keto, paleo, plant-based, or glucose-management based—while emphasizing how genetics play a key role in this process. Their conversation also covers several cutting-edge biohacks, including HOCATT (Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology) and the pros and cons of ice baths for boosting metabolism. Join Ann Louse for an important discussion as Matt and Wade also explain why almost every dieter eventually hits a plateau, why most people need supplementation (90% of North Americans are deficient in magnesium for example), as well as why digestive enzymes and HCL are absolutely essential as you age.

Join The First Lady of Nutrition as she welcomes Dr. Daved Rosensweet, founder of the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine, “The Menopause Method,” and a leading expert in Anti-Aging Medicine. Ann Louise and Dr. Rosensweet explore the transformative power of bio-identical hormones, discussing how proper hormone therapy can dramatically alleviate the life-disruptive symptoms experienced by 84% of women in menopause. They dive into the benefits of progesterone, often called the “feel-good” calming hormone, which both men and women can benefit from. Additionally, they tackle common misconceptions about estrogen and breast cancer, revealing how women properly treated with hormones actually face a lower risk of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke. Dr. Rosensweet also highlights the critical role of hormone delivery methods, including his patented organic oil for optimal topical application, and reveals a surprising insight: many men and women in nursing homes are there due to a simple testosterone deficiency, which can result in sarcopenia (the loss of muscle mass) — a condition that is easily treatable.
