Summary

I am delighted to welcome all my listeners to AMA number five! You have flooded me with a myriad of questions once again, and as promised, we will be focusing on supplements today. I aim to keep the AMAs between 35 and 40 minutes long to make them a quick listen that is easy to digest. However, looking ahead into 2024, we might consider extending the sessions if your questions lead us in that direction. I have tried to paraphrase your questions wherever I could and will do my best to answer as many as possible in this episode. Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How will BCAAs and essential amino acids benefit a 56-year-old woman with Hashimoto's? Why I recommend essential amino acids over branched chain amino acids for muscle protein synthesis and overall health Why do we need to consume much more protein as we age? What are the benefits of Berberine? Why I recommend focusing on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress management for optimal health during menopause The benefits of creatine supplementation for enhanced exercise performance and overall health The benefits of creatine for muscle gain and sleep improvement I address concerns about using creatine in hot food Is there an affordable alternative to myoinositol that offers the same concentrated benefits?
