The Game Changer: James Wilks, Producer @The Game Changers & Plant Based Advocate
Manage episode 378593189 series 3346561
" The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man" - Charles Darwin
I am in conversation with James Wilks, producer of the groundbreaking documentary "The Game Changers," which sheds light on the transformative power of a plant-based diet for athletes and emphasizes its pivotal role in shaping the future of health and nutrition.
Wilks highlighted the documentary's core message: that a plant-based diet can not only meet but exceed the nutritional needs of high-performance athletes. He cited numerous examples of elite athletes featured in the film who have successfully transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle, dispelling myths surrounding the perceived necessity of animal products for peak athletic performance.
The conversation delved into the substantial research underpinning the documentary's claims. Wilks emphasized that a plant-based diet can provide athletes ample protein, essential amino acids, and a rich array of vitamins and minerals. He discussed studies revealing how plant-based diets can enhance cardiovascular health, accelerate recovery, and reduce inflammation, ultimately contributing to prolonged athletic careers.
Moreover, Wilks elucidated the environmental and ethical implications of adopting a plant-based lifestyle. He highlighted how plant-based diets contribute to sustainability and mitigate the environmental impact of animal agriculture, a message resonating with a growing global audience.
Wilks also emphasized the importance of dispelling common misconceptions about plant-based nutrition. He addressed concerns about potential nutrient deficiencies, underscoring the need for a balanced and well-planned diet incorporating various plant-based foods.
He launched his new product FYTA- A Plant-based protein powder
using CODE: HLTH10 for a discount.

The interview concluded with a forward-looking perspective on the future of health and nutrition. Wilks underscored the role of education in empowering individuals to make informed dietary choices. He expressed optimism that a shift towards plant-based nutrition will not only benefit athletes but also have a positive impact on overall public health.
About
James Wilks is a film producer, vegan activist, and former professional mixed martial artist. He is best known for directing and starring in The Game Changers. The documentary is one of Netflix’s most popular shows. According to Google trends, interest in plant-based diets tripled within a week of it hitting the site.
As an MMA fighter, James made his professional debut in the UFC in 2009 and was crowned welterweight champion. Extensive injuries eventually caught up with him, and he retired from professional MMA in 2012.
Setting off on a path of physical recovery, James researched how diet might help him train faster and better. He came across a study on the original Roman gladiators and found their diets were predominantly vegetarian. This sparked his decision to follow a plant based diet himself.
The Game Changers followed James through his recovery and adoption of a vegan diet. James experienced huge benefits, including increased physical stamina and improved health markers. In the documentary, James discussed his findings with other elite athletes who follow plant-based diets, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lewis Hamilton, and Dotsie Bausch. The show also looked at the potential environmental benefits of decreased meat consumption.
