  • Supplements 101: From Creatine to Magnesium - Everything You Need to Know
    Feb 12 2026

    Confused about which supplements you actually need? This episode is your complete roadmap.

    In this episode, Guy and Charlotte break down every supplement worth your money - from creatine to magnesium, protein powders to omega-3s, and everything in between. They expose which "must-have" supplements are complete BS, reveal what actually makes a difference, and explain why most people are supplementing completely wrong.

    You'll discover:

    • Creatine: The only supplement everyone should take (and why you probably thought it was a steroid)
    • Protein powders: Whey vs. isolate vs. casein - what you actually need and when
    • Vitamin D: Why every UK resident needs this from October to April (and how to avoid expensive piss)
    • Magnesium: The sleep and recovery hack that actually works
    • Omega-3s: Are you really eating enough oily fish?
    • Pre-workouts: The truth about caffeine, beta-alanine, and the legendary "Ultra Vulture Smash Your Mother"
    • B12, iron, zinc, fibre: Who needs them and who's wasting their money

    But here's the uncomfortable truth they won't let you skip: Supplements are the LAST thing you should focus on. If you're not sleeping 7-8 hours, training with intent, managing stress, or hitting your fiber and protein targets from whole foods - no pill will save you.

    Guy and Charlotte share their personal experiences (including Guy's digestive transformation from increasing fiber to 40g/day and Charlotte's superhero moment when she first tried creatine), debunk marketing myths, and give you the exact roadmap to identify what YOUR body actually needs.

    Key takeaways:

    • Get your fundamentals right FIRST: sleep, training, nutrition, stress management
    • Track your food for a month to identify real deficiencies (not just guess)
    • Most multivitamins are useless - target specific gaps instead
    • Timing matters: fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) need food
    • Research matters: don't trust brands selling you their own studies

    Who needs this episode:

    • Anyone overwhelmed by supplement marketing
    • People spending £100+/month on vitamins they don't need
    • Vegans/vegetarians missing key nutrients (B12, we're looking at you)
    • Athletes wondering why their performance hasn't improved
    • Anyone who wants to stop guessing and start supplementing smart

    Stop throwing money at supplement companies. Listen to this 45-minute masterclass and become your own expert.

  • I'VE BEEN LIED TO ALL MY LIFE?!?! Debunking Spot Reduction, Detox Teas, and Intermittent Fasting
    Feb 9 2026

    What if everything you thought about fat loss, detox teas, and "earning" your cheat meal was complete BS?

    In this episode, Charlotte, Guy, and Charlie tear apart the biggest fitness myths that social media won't stop pushing - and reveal the uncomfortable truths no one wants to hear.

    From spot reduction scams (no, you can't lose belly fat with 5 magic exercises) to detox teas that cause UTIs, they expose the misinformation machine that gets 3-5x more views than real advice. They dive into why vibration plates won't shake off cellulite, why "cortisol belly" is just another fear-mongering buzzword, and how one slice of American carrot cake can undo an entire gym session.

    But it's not all doom and gloom. They also share the hacks that actually work:

    • Glucomannan: the natural appetite suppressant that helped Charlotte survive prep (think "natural Ozempic")
    • Habit stacking: why brushing your teeth + balance drills = 5 extra minutes of training daily
    • Post-it note reminders: Charlie's "fighter or victim" mantra that keeps him accountable
    • Phone outside the bedroom: Charlie's sleep hack that changed everything
    • The 24/7 documentary mindset: living like someone's watching (without losing your mind)

    By the end of this episode, you'll know:

    • Which "hacks" are complete garbage
    • Why simplicity beats perfection every time
    • How to use accountability, environment design, and small habits to stack progress
    • Why misinformation spreads faster - and how to avoid falling for it

    If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting fitness advice, fallen for a quick-fix product, or wondered why your results aren't matching your effort, this episode is your reality check.
