Faithful Fitness With Coach Alex VanHouten

Part 2 of the our supplement series - CREATINE

Creatine is one of my favorite supplements for a number of reasons.

It’s amazingly well-studied, safe and effective for most people, and is a crucial part of every metabolic pathway in the body!

In this episode of Defining Dad Bod we’ll look at the studied effects from increased muscle growth to reduced depression while also discussing dosages, schedules, and potential problems with using the supplement for better results!

Get excited!

False Fitness.

So much money is spent on exercise programs, nutritional meal plans, and dieting books EVERY YEAR.

Literally billions.

Why are we getting LESS healthy, MORE fat, and INCREASINGLY confused about how to improve our energy, body fat, strength, and well-being?

False Fitness is the FADS, the common misconceptions, the stuff we keep buying and trying with little to no success.

In this episode, we summarize and recap the TRUFIT Series. 10 hours of well-researched material and interviews to cut through the garbage of the health and fitness industry.

There’s a better way — it’s not magic — it’s science.

And we can’t wait for you to see the light.

I don’t talk about “energy balance” often (see definingdadbod.com/beyondcalories for more on why), but when I do - I help clients create a personalized macronutrient profile instead.

Counting calories is not as powerful as quantifying your carbs, fats, and proteins in terms of grams.

Frankly, this show will not be nearly as helpful as it could be if you haven’t already caught the last few episodes of the Trufit series (listed below).

AND if you don’t like math — grab a Jumpstart. I’ll do it all for you!

My clients often tell me that “emotional eating” is a big obstacle in the way of their health and fitness goals.

They know its a problem for them…but they don’t know how to STOP!

Let’s talk through the 4 things YOU need to know to make some headway:

1) You’ve Been Doing It Since You Were LITTLE

2) Even Fit People Do It

3) You (Should) Can Learn More About Your Emotion

4) There are many skills worth developing to enhance your emotional experience while improving your physical health! (Exercise, Journalling, Meditation/Prayer, Conversation, Nature, and Music)

Let’s talk through it all together!
