Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?


Listen Later

Are plant-based diets less than optimal for health and fitness?

In this Fitness Friday episode, Liron Kayvan and I dive into the pros and cons of creatine supplementation and explore whether plant-based diets can fully support optimal health, especially for women. We also discuss why muscle mass is critical for longevity and how animal protein makes it much easier to build and maintain lean muscle as you age.

Listen now for our candid take on why going completely meatless may mean compromising your well-being - no matter what supplements you take.  

Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He’s a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years.


What we discuss:  

  • Creatine: most scientifically studied supplement, safe and natural
  • Benefits of creatine for muscle mass, brain health, and pregnancy
  • Plant-based vs. animal protein diets
  • Importance of animal protein, especially red meat, for building muscle
  • Recommended creatine dosage
  • Creatine supplementation is less necessary if regularly eating red meat
