Meal prep is a necessity when it comes to being successful in your nutrition and fitness journey. We're not talking about spending your entire Sunday prepping meals for the whole week because let's be real... that's not realistic. However, some level of time, energy, and preparation is important to be successful in anything you do. In this episode we outline the four Ps for meal prep success and give you actionable items and ideas to help guide you through this process.

This week we discuss a widely debated topic which is whether or not American's are eating adequate protein. This is based on the current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) which is defined as the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly 97% of healthy individuals in a particular life-stage and gender group.

We make the case as to why American's aren't eating adequate protein based on the available evidence including NHANES data on how much protein America is actually eating and literature that may suggest the RDA needs to change. In this episode you'll learn the function of protein in your body as well as protein for optimal aging, weight loss, lean mass, health, and some practical tips for you to figure out your protein needs.

The muscle building and performance enhancing effects of creatine have been well established in the research for many years.

But what else can creatine do for you beyond muscle?

This week we discuss where the research is headed on this powerful nutrient in regards to mental performance, cognitive function, and recovery from brain injury, as well as certain disorders in which brain creatine seems to be depleted.
