Tell us more about your background? (0.46)

• Wade grew up in rural Canada on the East Coast and played hockey. At the age of 15, three things happened that set him on the path he now travels.
• The first, his parents moved from a small town to a smaller town to become caretakers at a private resort.
• The second was that his sister, four years his senior, was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes called Hodgkin's Disease. After a long illness, she died, and he remembers asking himself: How could a treatment like that make you sicker? A question that drove him for the rest of his life.
• The third was a bodybuilding magazine his sister gave him with Troy Zuccolotto, who had just become Mr. California. He was on the cover with two pretty girls, and it made Troy want those same muscles so that he could also get pretty girls. After that, he decided to build a homemade Home Gym.
• Wade believes in Arnold Schwarzenegger saying: With a positive attitude, self-discipline, and hard work, you can achieve anything. It is Arnold's vision that led him to a career in exercise physiology. It was also his inspiration to compete at the Mr. Universe competition where he represented his country and then cultivating his exercise science because he was competing as a vegetarian and drug-free athlete at the world-class level.

• As tragic as his sister dying was, it culminated in his way of life, a way of living, and a professional career that supports him.
• He says that nobody wants you to hang on to the negativity of the past or the tragedy of the past. They would rather you take that person's legacy and positively remember them, in an inflexible way, and something that makes a difference in your life because that's how people live on through you.

Let's talk about what you do now, the BiOptimizer, and then how did this whole thing come about? (10.31)

• Wade explains that after being on a spartan diet for 11 months while training for Mr. Universe, he then gained 42 pounds of fat and water in 11 weeks.
• He met Dr. Michael O'Brien, who said something that changed his life. He said, "you've learned to build the body from the outside in, now you have to build the body from the
