In this episode, I’m diving into the world of pre-workout supplements—because let’s be honest, it’s a jungle out there. I break down what’s actually in them (caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine), what those ingredients really do, and how much you actually need.
I also chat through who might benefit from a pre-workout, and who probably doesn’t need to spend the money.
Spoiler alert: it’s not essential for everyone.
And like always, I remind you that no supplement can outdo solid nutrition. Pre-workouts can be helpful, sure—but they’re not magic.
So if you’re gonna use them, use them smart.
