Creatine is one of the most researched, safest, and most effective supplements available — yet it’s still surrounded by myths, confusion, and unnecessary fear.

In this episode, we break down what creatine actually does in the body, who it's for, and how it supports strength, muscle, recovery, energy, and even brain health.

We also talk through common misconceptions like bloating and kidney concerns, how much to take, when to take it, and who benefits most.

Appreciate you guys hanging with us!

We live in a world that praises nonstop hustle - or total escape - and somehow calls both “normal.”

In this episode, we unpack a distinction that completely changed how we think about work, rest, energy, and fulfillment: good work vs. toil and good rest vs. leisure.

We talk about how two people can do the exact same task, yet one feels grounded and fulfilled while the other feels drained and burned out.

We also break down why so many people think they’re resting… but are actually just numbing out. Why scrolling, zoning out, and constant distraction don’t restore you.

If this episode hit home and you want a simple, grounded way to apply it to your health goals, I created a free guide that walks you through the exact framework we use with clients to lose their next 5 lbs — without extremes or burnout.
