Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry

If you've heard a lot about creatine but aren't sure if you should be taking this supplement on your fitness journey… today's episode is for you.

Today I'm sitting down for a solo episode to discuss the popular supplement creatine, why it can be a great addition to your fitness routine, where it is also surprisingly found naturally in your diet, and its impact on the scale and your weight.

While creatine is one of the most researched supplements out there and is widely used to improve gym performance, strength, and muscle growth - this episode will help you decide (based upon your goals) if it's something you should focus on or not.
