Are you fasting too much? Are you eating too low carb or too low calories? Are you exercising too much in the wrong zones? Are you timing your nutrition and adjusting macros with exercise type, duration and intensity? Are you struggling to gain lean muscle mass as you age? Coach Debbie Potts continues her theme this year on "less is more and "more is not always better...The Goldilocks Effect" - as well as how to improve and embrace the aging process instead of BLAMING it or using age as an excuse to your struggles (then give in as your new "normal"). Let's adjust how we eat, when we eat and what we eat - as well as how we train, prioritize sleep, manage our stress, and more of the elements of "THE WHOLESTIC METHOD" to be the best version of yourself as you age up as a high charging athlete (of all levels). What is Creatine? Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in your body’s muscles and brain. As with most of our naturally occurring elements, the production decreases as we age (think collagen), so we must take proactive measures to add what our body needs in an effort to continue to thrive and feel good in our bodies. How does it work? Creatine is an amino acid that helps create ATP (energy source for our bodies); it helps deliver energy to our mitochondria (powerhouses of our cells) positively impacting lean muscle strength and brain cognition. It is naturally found in animal products, but can be damaged by cooking, which is why supplementation is so beneficial. Creatine by Cynthia Thurlow is monohydrate: pure, unadulterated form of creatine that our body can easily utilize. https://cynthiathurlow.com/new-shop/creatine-order/ Cynthia Thurlow talks today about the right dose of fasting, protein, exercise and supplementation as her new creatine an inositol products.

Inositol also has antioxidant properties that fight the damaging effects of free radicals in the brain, circulatory system, and other body tissues. Inositol plays a vital role in balancing neurotransmitters. Inositol by Cynthia Thurlow is: ONE INGREDIENT! Our Myo-Inositol is 100% PURE Myo-Inositol, which is the most abundant isomer found in cell membranes.
