    How to Increase Your Protein Absorption Easily With BiOptimizers Supplements | Matt Gallant

    You are eating a lot of protein because you heard it is important to have adequate protein intake, especially if you’re trying to grow muscle; but is your body really digesting that protein?

    How do we solve this issue?
    This is exactly what I discuss with my guest on the podcast this week, Matt Gallant.
    Matt is a serial entrepreneur (who’s built over 14 profitable companies) and a kinesiologist with a degree in Science Of Physical Activity and the CEO/Co-Founder of BiOptimizers. 
    He’s been a strength and conditioning coach for multiple pro athletes as well as a self-defense instructor. Matt has also over 18 years of experience formulating supplements. He’s been successfully following a mostly ketogenic diet for over 30 years. 
    In this episode, I sit down with Matt to discuss the supplements his company BiOptimizers developed, his origins in bodybuilding, the roles of enzymes in breaking down proteins into amino acids, and more.

Brilliant beautiful intellectual & educational giant

There are so many opinions and misinformation in the medical and healthcare space, Dr Joy Kong has an amazing way of cutting through the noise concisely, articulately, and with the utmost integrity. She interviews numerous leaders in cutting edge science and holistic treatment approaches. I continuously learn new information that helps me help myself and those I care about. She is a triple board certified physician, clearly an impressive intellect, who marches comfortably to the beat of her own drum. It doesn’t hurt that she’s absolutely gorgeous!
