From creatine to pre-workout to anything in between…More and more adolescents (both athletes and non-athletes alike) are moving towards the use of sports supplements or are considering using one.I have had more and more parents bring their teens to see me and provide advice around supplement use.It is a topic worth looking into as there is a good chance you are a teenager taking or wanting to take one or are a parent concerned and wanting more information.The truth is that everything is contextual to nutrition and the same applies to the use of supplements with adolescents, so it is not black and white either. However, the general consensus is that the first action should be to try and sway them away from thinking they should take supplements. In this episode, I share 3 reasons or considerations on why we as Dietitian’s tend to try and sway teenage athletes and gym goers from the use of or strict reliance on sports supplements.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualized advice for you! Your unique situation needs to be taken into consideration and adjusting your dietary intake.____________________________________________DOWNLOAD MY FREE MACRO NUTRITION CHEATSHEET Your Guide To Improving Your Macros & Food Knowledgehttps://theclimbingdietitian.lpages.co/macro-cheatsheet-the-climbing-dietitian/Apply for Bespoke 1:1 Macro Sherpa Nutrition Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/395QmGsCheck out and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2Mxqs4WEmail me: [email protected] find me on socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclimbingingdietitianTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theclimbingdietitianFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theclimbingdietitianTwitter: https://twitter.com/beardyAPDLink to blog: https://bit.ly/330ULq4Check out my website for more information on me and what I do:https://www.theclimbingdietitian.com.au
