Fit Nerd is where faith, fitness, and science collide. We geek out on genetics, health, and training — all while keeping Christ at the center. From nutrition and hormones to joyful movement and real-life faith, you’ll discover how to work with the body God designed so you can feel strong, energized, and fearfully fit. I like to explore the current trends- food, exercise, and lifestyle- and discuss who that trend will benefit and why.

Episode 9: What I Take and Why: A Real Talk on Supplements That Work
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever wonder which supplements are actually worth your time — and which are just expensive hype? In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down my favorite science-backed supplements and why I swear by them: creatine, BCAAs, super greens, electrolytes, Huperzine A, collagen, beef liver, and magnesium.
We’ll dig into why supplementation matters, how modern farming and food processing have changed what our bodies get from food, and the real science behind what these nutrients do inside you. I’ll explain how creatine supports brain function (yep, not just muscles), how magnesium keeps your body calm and balanced, and why collagen and beef liver are basically nature’s multivitamins.
It’s not a “take-this-to-get-jacked” conversation — it’s a real, nerdy talk about cell health, longevity, and performance. Whether you’re an athlete, a mom chasing kids, or just trying to feel better day to day, this episode will help you understand what’s worth the scoop and what’s just marketing fluff.
Grab your shaker, hit play, and let’s nerd out on the supplements that actually work. 💪🧠
