Distractions obliterate your focus. By not fully-investing your attention into your work or task at hand, you are doing your brain and body a disservice. So, instead of half-assing your focus and rest, learn to set boundaries in order to limit your distractions, and your focus and health will soar! You will feel more present in all that you do. You will have more energy, and you will even become a better human along the way. Why not try to half-ass your life less?

209. Creatine and Women 18:14

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the world, and it is found to be safe and effective. However, creatine use among women is vastly under-researched (what else is new?). Recent research is including more women (which we desperately need!), and the current research is showing that women store and synthesize less creatine than males. In this episode, I explain the differences between women and men when to comes to creatine supplementation, and how dosage can be adjusted, if at all. Here’s the study I referenced in this episode if you’d like to nerd-out on it with me: PMID 33800439: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33800439/ Here are other episodes worth checking out: 161.

208. The Downsides and Dangers of Supplements 37:02

Despite supplements sometimes being beneficial and having a relatively low-risk profile, there are some downsides and dangers to supplements. In this episode, I share some things to look out for when it comes to supplements, as well as a couple of things you can do to keep your safety and health in check if you decide to supplement. Some things you can look for on the labels of your supplements are that the supplement company practices Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and you get some bonus points if they are third-party tested for accuracy and quality (this will usually cost more). Also, here are some resources for you: You can learn more here on the FDA’s website if you are in the United States: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/fda-101-dietary-supplements https://examine.com/ is an excellent resource for learning more about supplements and which ones may be beneficial for you, once you speak with your qualified medical professional.

202. F*ck the Scale 34:19

I am digging up this episode from the archives! This episode was originally published as episode 16, which was released on May 3, 2021 (which is wild to me). Even if you listened to the original episode, I’d love for you to listen to it again, because the scale and how much you weigh is the least important or interesting thing about you. F*ck the scale as the ONLY source of information regarding your progress. There are so many other things you can use to determine your progress. Give this episode a listen as I dive in and get quite heated (no apologies for the F-bombs) about how the scale should NOT be the only source of information regarding your weight loss, weight gain, or overall health journey. I outline the things you can use as more dependable metrics, empowering you even more. If you want to read the blog I wrote that inspired this podcast, read it here: https://shifthumanperformance.com/2017/04/21/the-scale-is-a-liar/ Here’s the study I reference in this episode about inadequate sleep being a risk factor for obesity.
