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.

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 feel extra stress from these last few weeks of the year due to shopping, crowds, social gatherings, late nights, huge meals, traveling, having house guests or having to plan parties — that stress isn't just your body and mind feeling frazzled — it goes much deeper than that. The truth is, that feeling is your hormones screaming out for help. They're aware that you're in some state of "crisis mode". So when the stress has been prolonged to several days or weeks, and it's affecting your mood... again, that's hormones. Stress goes up, cortisol goes up and the rest of your hormones are sensing something is off. A chain reaction is set off to your other hormones like insulin, melatonin, adrenaline, serotonin, and vitamin D, and all of these things can make your energy plummet if you're not proactively trying to prevent it.

Other highlights in this episode: · how hunger hormones play a role in stress · the importance of B-12, folate, and magnesium · using magnesium as a supplement · how protein can stabilize your mood · why using sugar for energy isn't the best idea · adrenal-supporting tea · setting boundaries · self-kindness and inflammation · how to choose between sleep and gym time if you can only choose one

Rest, boundaries and nutrients can be your superpowers for any time that life gets extra busy.

Please note that this is the last episode of 2019! I'll be back on New Year's day with a brand new episode. I've been working on lining up a variety of interesting guests that I'll be interviewing on the show in early 2020.
