Supplements 101: From Creatine to Magnesium - Everything You Need to Know
Confused about which supplements you actually need? This episode is your complete roadmap.
In this episode, Guy and Charlotte break down every supplement worth your money - from creatine to magnesium, protein powders to omega-3s, and everything in between. They expose which "must-have" supplements are complete BS, reveal what actually makes a difference, and explain why most people are supplementing completely wrong.
You'll discover:
- Creatine: The only supplement everyone should take (and why you probably thought it was a steroid)
- Protein powders: Whey vs. isolate vs. casein - what you actually need and when
- Vitamin D: Why every UK resident needs this from October to April (and how to avoid expensive piss)
- Magnesium: The sleep and recovery hack that actually works
- Omega-3s: Are you really eating enough oily fish?
- Pre-workouts: The truth about caffeine, beta-alanine, and the legendary "Ultra Vulture Smash Your Mother"
- B12, iron, zinc, fibre: Who needs them and who's wasting their money
But here's the uncomfortable truth they won't let you skip: Supplements are the LAST thing you should focus on. If you're not sleeping 7-8 hours, training with intent, managing stress, or hitting your fiber and protein targets from whole foods - no pill will save you.
Guy and Charlotte share their personal experiences (including Guy's digestive transformation from increasing fiber to 40g/day and Charlotte's superhero moment when she first tried creatine), debunk marketing myths, and give you the exact roadmap to identify what YOUR body actually needs.
Key takeaways:
- Get your fundamentals right FIRST: sleep, training, nutrition, stress management
- Track your food for a month to identify real deficiencies (not just guess)
- Most multivitamins are useless - target specific gaps instead
- Timing matters: fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) need food
- Research matters: don't trust brands selling you their own studies
Who needs this episode:
- Anyone overwhelmed by supplement marketing
- People spending £100+/month on vitamins they don't need
- Vegans/vegetarians missing key nutrients (B12, we're looking at you)
- Athletes wondering why their performance hasn't improved
- Anyone who wants to stop guessing and start supplementing smart
