Episode 51 - Nutrition : Fueling the Voltage

In this episode of 7,000 Volts: Living an Electrified Life, LJ sits down with his personal nutrition expert, Dr. Nwando Nwanna, to talk about what “optimal health” actually looks like when it’s tailored to the individual—not a one-size-fits-all diet. Dr. Nwanna shares her professional journey from clinical pharmacist to nutrition therapy after realizing most medications manage symptoms rather than address root causes. She explains how food sensitivities, stress, and ultra-processed ingredients can quietly drain the body over time. LJ tells the story of how a nagging cough and low energy led him to nutrition response testing, cutting out certain foods (including bread, peanuts, and more), losing significant weight, and feeling “charged up” again—plus the real-life discipline battles (like almost caving at McDonald’s). Together they warn against self-diagnosing online, emphasize eating more whole foods, avoiding refined sugar, and learning what your body can actually tolerate, and they close by inviting Tampa Bay listeners to contact Dr. Nwanna at Wise Nutrition Therapy for consults and testing—because without health, none of the other “voltage” in your life matters.
