Back when I was in high school, I used to walk into Supplement Superstores with my buddies and buy whatever was popular or hyped without really understanding what I was taking or ‘why.’

Fast forward to today, my perspective on supplements has completely evolved. I’ve learned that supplements aren’t the foundation, they’re the icing on the cake. The cake is built through training, nutrition, sleep, recovery, and stress management. Once those are dialed in, supplements can take your results to the next level.

In this episode, I break down how I approach supplements now, the quality criteria I use to choose what I take, and why I only back products that align with my values and standards. I also share my current supplement stack and explain how each one supports health, training, recovery, and longevity.

Here’s what I cover:

• How my mindset around supplements has evolved

• The six key things I look for when choosing high-quality products

• My personal stack (Vitamin D + K2, Krill Oil, Magnesium, CBD, Creatine, Grass-Fed Whey, Electrolytes)

• Why I use Transparent Labs and what separates them from the rest

• The latest research on creatine’s benefits for both performance and cognitive health
  

• Why supplements can’t fix inconsistency, but they can absolutely enhance it

  
  

  If you’re tired of feeling like lifting and running pull you in opposite directions, this episode will show you how to balance both, avoid burnout, and train like an athlete for life.
