What's going on, Beaches? Welcome to the Daily Soul podcast, episode 314, Saturday, December the 14th.

Today we're going to talk a little bit about creatine, been getting a bunch of questions about creatine lately, and I just want to set the record straight.

Number one, I do take creatine. Mamosolio takes creatine. I personally recommend
