James Brett Wilks is an English film producer, vegan activist, and former professional mixed martial artist. A professional from 2003 until 2012, he competed for the UFC, King of the Cage, and was the winner of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom. After winning his title and several UFC fights, it was during a sparring session towards the end of fight camp where he was dealt a major setback injuring both knees. Having limited mobility, it was during his rehabilitation he searched for a way to be productive, so he immersed himself in the science of recovery and proper diet for athletes. In doing so, he came across research, science and scientist that forever changed how he looked at food. This interview is so much about adaptation, debunking limiting beliefs, and seeing how you can reinvent yourself through food.

On today’s show, I analyze Jim Boylen’s tenure with the Bulls, and attempt to understand why ownership wants him to be retained. Boylen, arguably, has done nothing to positively impact the Bulls since his hiring, so why should the team retain him, especially with a newly-revamped front office? Later in the show, I caught up with James Wilks, former UFC fighter and creator of The Game Changers. During our interview, we discussed the benefits of a plant-based diet, his UFC career, and the inspiration behind his new film!

This week we talk with James Wilks about his journey from professional MMA fighter to Producer for the documentary, The Game Changers. We will cover a wide range of topics from tradeoffs with athletics and healthspan to some of the amazing content that ended on the cutting room floor. 

James Wilks is a combatives instructor for the US Military, retired MMA Fighter,  2009 UFC champion, and main star in Gamechangers Documentary which you can now watch on Netflix.  Gamechangers was executively produced by Academy Award-winning director James Cameron, also known for directing Terminator and Titanic to name a couple of other films!  Gamechangers explores whether a plant-based diet is an optimal diet for athletes across all disciplines including strength, endurance sports, team sports, and more.  There are some big name athletes appearing in the film such as World Record Holding Strongman Patrik Baboumian well-known ultrarunner Scott Jurek, Olympian cyclist Dotsie Bausch, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Derrick Morgan of the NFL' Titans, and so many more.  The movie is about James Wilks quest to search for the optimal diet to help him recover from a terrible injury.  His research set him on a trajectory to learn more about plant-based nutrition, ultimately discovering that many athletes are competing at the top level with no animal products. The film also goes into why a plant-based diet helps athletes perform and recover at their best. Topics Discussed in the Podcast  Acclaim for the film including the Defense Health Agency how the idea of Gamechangers came about James' previous diets and notions on vegans is grassfed beef healthy? best foods to eat to recover faster from injury fatigue, carbohydrates, heme iron, supplements for performance how to decipher if scientific studies are legitimate  how they picked athletes to be in the movie a short bit about fighting MMA/ taking punches & managing aggression and anger 33:50 It's really centered around inflammation. The blood flow is centered around inflammation as well- inflammation of the arteries. But then if there is inflammation just recovering from a workout session or you got injured and you're recovering, you need inflammation to build muscle and to recover, but you want to get through that inflammation quickly so that you can work out again more effectively. You can always work out again the next day, but it's how effective and how optimal is that workout?   I think inflammation is really the key here -that animal foods tend to be inflammatory, plant foods tend to be anti-inflammatory.  And so reducing that can not only help blood flow, but also muscle repair, being faster, and also injury repair as well.
