    What Actually Works - A practical supplements guide with Stephen Manners

    Stephen has a ton of boots on the ground experience in the supplement industry working with his wife and father in law at Eddie's Health Shop. Bottom line: He knows what works. We cover supplements for a wide variety of use cases in this episode so I wanted to include an outline here so you know what you are getting into. Performance/muscle building: Creatine: forms & dose Protein: sources and use. *trial and error is huge here. Don’t just try various proteins, read what the sources are: whey vs casein vs animal vs plant as you experiment and search for one that works for you.   Pre workout: key ingredients (caffeine vs no caffeine, beta alanine (reduces muscular fatigue promoting harder workouts/lifts), citrulline (boosts nitric oxide, good for pumps by relaxing arteries and promoting blood flow/circulation),  Sleep/recovery: Magnesium: why we need it, dose, forms. Glycine. Cognitive performance/stress: Theanine: supports mental clarity and relaxation, helps with stress and sleep.  Ashwaghanda & adaptogens (rhodiola, ginseng) Lions Mane Mushroom Joints/inflammation: Curcumin (turmeric): go for supplement with lots of curcuminoids, not just a ginger or turmeric supplement.  Glucosamine/chondroitin/msm: most backed by research for reducing joint pain - should be taken together for best results.  Bonus: gut health. Enzymes vs probiotics At the very end we also get into some testosterone support supplements. If you are a military aged male looking to go through selection you need to hit Stephen up @nutritioncoach_stephen. He will set you up with an action plan to get to fighting weight and go into selection as an absolute physical weapon.
