286 - BCAAs: Worth the Hype or a Waste of Money?

You’ve probably been influenced by the ads with promises of faster recovery, less soreness, and more muscle online. But do BCAAs, branched-chain amino acids, actually deliver on the hype or are they just another supplement that will sit in your cupboard?In this episode, I’m breaking it all down: what BCAAs really are, what they’re supposed to help with, and what the science actually says about their effectiveness. We’ll talk about why some people swear by them, when they might be useful, and when they’re just an overpriced way to make your water taste good.If you’ve ever wondered whether you need BCAAs for results or if your protein-rich diet is already doing the job, this episode will give you the clarity (and maybe save you some cash).Creatine Episode 236Protein Revolution Episode 196Get Gut Personal HERE (my FAV supplements!)Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?

This week I sat down with Dr. Patti Gonzalez to talk about something most of us don’t want to think about… parasites. Yep, every human has them, and yet it’s one of the least talked-about topics in the U.S. (even though parasite cleanses are totally normal in other countries). We dive into how parasites can actually show up in your body, the symptoms you might not connect to them, how to safely get rid of them, and why this conversation is finally starting to go mainstream. If you’ve ever been curious about parasite cleanses, or wondered if they’re just another wellness trend, this episode is going to blow your mind.Dr. Patti Gonzalez is a retired chiropractor turned Health Concierge She believes optimal health is not a destination—it’s about returning to the innate design of the body.
