244. Creatine confusion (timing + adding to coffee)

from Help Me Understand Hosted by JK McLeod

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements out there, but the same two questions keep causing confusion: When’s the best time to take it? and Does coffee make it less effective? In this episode, Coach JK breaks down what the science actually shows and shares how he coaches clients through these questions. From the 2013 timing study to the old caffeine concerns, he clears up where the noise came from and why, for most people, consistency matters more than “perfect timing.” Listeners will learn why anchoring creatine to an existing habit is the simplest strategy, why loading phases aren’t necessary for most, and what to know if you’re putting a scoop in your morning coffee. --------Instagram: ⁠⁠@CoachJKMcLeod⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠[email protected]
