Do You Actually Need Supplements?
YDS is supported by Microcosm Coaching.
Do you actually need supplements? The sports nutrition industry wants you to believe you can't perform without a cabinet full of pills, powders, and proprietary blends. But what does the research actually say—and how do you separate evidence from marketing?
In this episode, Kylee and Zoë break down the supplement landscape: which ones have solid evidence behind them (spoiler: it's a short list), which are a waste of money, and which might actually be harmful. We cover protein powders, creatine, BCAAs, greens powders, and the unregulated Wild West of sports supplements—including the heavy metals and unlisted ingredients that sometimes show up in third-party testing.
Whether you're wondering if you need to add something to your stack or looking for permission to simplify, this episode will help you make evidence-based decisions without the hype.
