  • 89. Creatine: Myths, Benefits, and Why You Need It

    89. Creatine: Myths, Benefits, and Why You Need It
    Oct 4 2023

    Creatine is a supplement that every single person out there can benefit from. No matter your age, size, health status, or activity level.

    Let's address every common concern and question that most people have about creatine. I'm going to give you all of the information to ease your mind and hopefully, you'll become a lifelong fan of this beneficial supplement. I'm not even selling it. So don't worry there's no sales pitch at the end. I truly just want you to do whatever you can to optimize your health for overall strength and longevity.

    In this episode:
    • Creatine monohydrate vs. creatine HCL
    • Does creatine cause bloating or weight gain?
    • Does creatine cause hair loss?
    • Does creatine cause muscle cramps?
    • Creatine and bipolar disorder
    • Creatine and non-athletic lifestyle benefits
    • Creatine and athletic benefits
    • Dosing recommendations
    • Is creatine loading necessary?

    To sum it all up, creatine is safe, effective, and everyone should strongly consider using it throughout any stage of life. It aids in brain health, athletic performance, muscle health, bone health, sleep quality, and mood. And these are facts that have been proven over and over by legitimate scientific studies.

    Don't get hung up on the brand. Just look for a label that says creatine monohydrate. I highly recommend this product not just for performance but also for longevity, optimizing aging, and protecting health through the lifecycle.

    If you enjoyed this, share it on social media, tag FitFizz and let me know your favorite part. Send it your loved ones and get them on some creatine!

    Thank you so much for listening! I'm Kelly Wilson, your health concierge, and until next time, breathe, stay strong, and always celebrate victory!

  • 84: How to Improve Eating Habits When You're Never at Home

    84: How to Improve Eating Habits When You're Never at Home
    Jan 28 2021
    How can you improve eating habits if you're never at home? I know that many people are still at home more than ever (thanks, COVID-19) but there are people like truck drivers, hospital workers, hair stylists, nail techs, construction workers, teachers, the people who sanitize buildings, and many other professions who are serving the public all day who can't always depend on conveniences like kitchens or break rooms to make eating healthy meals easier. This episode is for you! Even if you don't have access to a way to heat up any food and you have to eat in the car. This advice applies to all of these on-the-go people and therefore it can certainly apply to anyone who is at home or working in an office with traditional lunch breaks. The key thing here is being prepared! I'm going to give you several ways to do that so that you can successfully change your eating habits rather than just grabbing the nearest fast food all the time. Find out the three main categories for how to prepare to make healthy food choices when you're not at home plus a bonus!
