What I like to do when I'm going to the gym is electrolytes, creatine, and some essential amino acids.
Okay.
You love creatine.
I love creatine.
I would definitely, I wish I'd started this much sooner.
I can't believe I didn't.
I think it's because when I was training people at Gold's Gym in Venice, it was such a bro dude thing.
I was like, none of that, you know, and I just never looked at it.
And then as I started to really look at sarcopenia and
there were a couple of things that became very clear.
Number one, like, why are we not all taking creatine, especially women who have less tissue sores, as we know?
And, you know, especially if you're a plant based woman and you're not getting enough, you're not going to get it from your diet.
You're only going to make about a gram.
But you look at what it does.
Great study in menopausal women helping with depression.
So we know it helps with cognition.
It helps with bones.
It helps with skin.
It helps you work out harder.
And I have been amazed because as I've been talking about creatine, I have gotten so much resistance that I'm blown away.
