Wade Lightheart is an author, athlete, advisor and nutritionist. He is a former three times all natural champion body-builder who travels the globe trying to help people enrich their own lives by way of finding health, wealth and peace of mind. He is an astute businessman, whether as Director of Education at BioOptimizers Nutrition, founder of the Prosperity and Health Alliance or as a seller of Kangen water (also known as electrolyzed reduced water or hydrogen water). He also serves as an Advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute. He has written a number of books including Staying Alive in a Toxic World, What Every Athlete Needs to Know About Restructured Ionized Water, Vital Power, a Dynamic Philosophy Producing Optimum Health and Vitality Without Diets, Drugs or Doctor, and The Wealthy Backpacker. The Wealthy Backpacker teaches the reader about “financial mobility”, issues relating to the digital world, non-local income and how to Reduce, Maximize and Invest.

From Wade’s webpage:

I began my journey to health, fitness and spiritual awakening at 15 when I was faced with my sister’s terminal illness. It was at this time I began lifting weights, studying nutrition, and looking for a deeper meaning to life.

My thirst for knowledge led me to read hundreds of books. I then travelled to study with Physical, Financial, & Spiritual Masters from around the world.

It’s been an interesting journey to say the least. I’ve lived in ashrams, competed at the Mr. Universe as a drug free vegetarian, wrote several books, and co-founded a nutrition company.

For years I watched and learned from my mentors, heroes and coaches online. Today it blows my mind that I’m routinely featured online as a guest expert, and as a keynote speaker at health and wellness seminars around the globe. It’s truly amazing!

One of the greatest gifts is to serve as an Advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute. This allows me to help people recover from the very disease that took my sister’s life.

Although some people might doubt me, it’s possible to turn suffering into joy.
​
Over the years I’ve continued my ongoing quest to uncover the deeper mysteries of the human experience physically, mentally and spiritually.

Ideas worth returning to

Quotes

Five substantial excerpts from the published transcript, lightly edited for clarity without changing their meaning.

  1. “The brain is less reliable than most people assume: repeated exposure strongly influences what we believe. Mainstream media often concentrates on fear, which can obscure broader improvements such as declines in war deaths and crime or increases in longevity. What we consume shapes our picture of reality, so choosing information carefully matters.”
    From the conversation
  2. “Travel and modern communication have made different states of awareness more accessible. People can now learn about traditions in South America or visit an ashram in India in ways that were once nearly impossible. What previously required months of travel can now happen within a day, allowing ideas and practices to move across cultures at unprecedented speed.”
    From the conversation
  3. “When we become rigid and dogmatic about a belief or method, we stop noticing the warning lights in our lives. That can happen in health, relationships, or business. A new diet, practice, or philosophy may produce an initial benefit, but turning it into an identity can prevent us from seeing when circumstances have changed and adaptation is needed.”
    From the conversation
  4. “A near-death experience completely changed my life. I experienced a life review and what I understood as the universe or God. When I returned, university life seemed like kindergarten and the people around me appeared asleep. That shift in awareness pushed me to leave, follow my dreams, and pursue bodybuilding in Santa Monica.”
    From the conversation
  5. “After several years of travel, I realized I could arrive somewhere new without feeling overwhelmed. It seemed to expand my awareness and peripheral vision. A spiritual teacher introduced me to the idea that meditation can develop into contemplation: instead of sitting apart from life, you carry a spiritual or universal thought through a busy world.”
    From the conversation
