    • Health & Fitness

In this episode, you’ll learn how to get the most out of the valuable time you invest in your training and nutrition.

Many people major in the minors and, unfortunately, put their energy, time and money into things that aren’t that important and completely disregard the most important aspects of nutrition.

After watching/listening to this episode, you’ll know exactly what are the most critical aspects to focus on. You’ll learn whether you can build muscle and lose fat simultaneously, what to eat before and after working out to maximise your performance and recovery, and whether training fasted is a good idea. We'll give top recommendations for quick and easy breakfasts to fuel your early morning workouts.

We’ll also discuss the benefits and recommended usage of the most researched sports supplement, creatine monohydrate.
