I've been getting a lot of questions lately about the mysterious molecule I consume before I eat bread and pasta - a compound that allows me to digest gluten without any of the "bathroom decommissioning" that so notoriously occurs after a hefty bout of gluten consumption.

After all, I don't want to not eat bread or pasta for the rest of my life. I find them enjoyable.

But due to glyphosate exposure from pesticides and herbicides, stress, a leaky gut and other modern assailants that make gluten a bigger issue than it ever has been in human history, I use a bit of better living through science to make gluten digestible.

In today's podcast, I interview the inventors of Gluten Guardian - Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart - the guys who first appeared in the podcast "Probiotic Enemas, Digestive Enzyme Myths, Breathing 10 Kilograms of Oxygen, Low-Protein Diets & More!" and later in my article "How To Take Digestive Enzymes".

Matt Gallant is an entrepreneur, a poker champion, an ex-rock guitarist, a serial entrepreneur (who's built 13 companies in the last 20 years) strength and conditioning coach with a degree in kinesiology, the CEO and co-founder of a company called BiOptimizers.

Wade T. Lightheart, host of the AWESOME Health Podcast, 3-time All Natural National Bodybuilding Champion, advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute and Cofounder of BiOptimizers.

He is also the author of several books including the best-selling books, “Staying Alive in a Toxic World” and “The Wealthy Backpacker.” MARGE LINK TO WADE'S BOOKS During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why Matt eats between 6-10,000 calories every Sunday...7.36
For the calorie spike.
One meal per day for 6 days.
A combo of healthy and regular food.
Matt feels great afterwards.
He takes the day off from training.-Why we should be cognizant of our gluten intake, even if we don't have celiac disease...10:30
 New England Journal of Medicine listed 55 diseases that can be caused by eating gluten.
Many times we're not aware of these diseases; can be immune, neurological and psychiatric.
Differences between wheat germ in the gluten and gluten itself.
Different type of protein.
Both are resistant to digestion.
Can make the gut more permeable. (Leaky gut)
Amylase/trypsin inhibitors come packaged with gluten - specifically wheat.
What about other factors to leaky gut such as stress and glyphosate.
4x increase in celiac disease; traced to glyphosate interrupting the digestive process.
Will continue to increase due to the exposure to glyphosate. -The use of enzymes in the preparation of food to increase its palatability...18:10
In a perfect world, you'd be eating pre-digested food primarily.
You use enzymes to assist with breaking food down.-Do Matt and Wade recommend any panels for evaluating gluten sensitivity or gluten cross reactivity?...20:30
Anti-tissue trans glutaminase or endomysial antibody.
Recommend Cyrex.
Helps you know if other foods such as coffee or quinoa are exacerbating your level of gluten intolerance.
Also testing gliad and peptide antibodies.How does gluten negatively affect the brain?...24:00
Inflames the brain by causing an auto-immune response.
Antibodies intended to protect your body actually attack your body.
During the digestive process, gluten can be broken down into proteins similar to psychedelic drugs.
Has an addictive quality.
Overloads the brain with glutamate.
Irritates and damages brain cells.
Negative impact on your social life.-What Wade REALLY thinks about Monsanto...29:50
They were written into protection against lawsuits by federal law during the previous administration.
Demonstrable evidence of their products causing damage to the body.
Has been bought out by Bayer.
Food has essentially been mutated, much to our detriment.
Destroy livelihoods of small farmers.-The product Matt uses to pre-digest gluten before you even eat it...37:00
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4, also DPP-4.
Dissolves bread placed in water in 15 minutes (watch the video below)
You take it while you eat.
Does DPP-4 actually mitigate symptoms of gluten intolerance?
Depends on the dosage.
Can be taken as late as the day after eating.
Citrusy foods have been found to inhibit DPP-4
Breaks down various hormones in the body such as insulin.-Does DPP-4 have any effect on foods not containing gluten?...45:00
Milk proteins, but not milk sugars like lactose.
Good idea to add DPP-4 if you have a plant-based diet.
Just mix and match until you find the right combination for you, and for the right meals.
Safe for children to ingest.-More on Matt and Wade's diet and workout regimen...49:50-How do HCL and hydrochloric acid work with Gluten Guardian?...54:55
Plays a supportive role
Stomach acid decreases after the age of 35
