Show Notes

*SHOW TIMESTAMPS FEATURED AT THE END*

In this episode, Gerry welcomes Registered Dietitian Wendi Irlbeck to the show to discuss EVERYTHING you need to know about creatine.

Wendi starts the conversation with a bit of her background in the field and then gets into some tips for the average person and how they can navigate social media and some of the poor information that is put out.

Speaking of poor information, Wendi then gets into creatine and all of the misconceptions and misinformation about it. From "it bloats you," to "it is a steroid," Wendi and Gerry laugh about the ridiculous thoughts that circle the supplement and why they are simply not true.

From there, the conversation turns to the when, what and why of creatine and all you need to know about how it works, when you should take it and who it can benefit (everyone). 

All that and more on this episode of Muscles and Management.
