Creatine is a supplement that every single person out there can benefit from. No matter your age, size, health status, or activity level.  Let's address every common concern and question that most people have about creatine. I'm going to give you all of the information to ease your mind and hopefully, you'll become a lifelong fan of this beneficial supplement. I'm not even selling it. So don't worry there's no sales pitch at the end. I truly just want you to do whatever you can to optimize your health for overall strength and longevity.  In this episode:  • Creatine monohydrate vs. creatine HCL • Does creatine cause bloating or weight gain? • Does creatine cause hair loss? • Does creatine cause muscle cramps? • Creatine and bipolar disorder • Creatine and non-athletic lifestyle benefits  • Creatine and athletic benefits • Dosing recommendations  • Is creatine loading necessary? PubMed Links: Creatine supplementation and cognitive performance in elderly individuals  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17828627/ Creatine supplementation for older adults: Focus on sarcopenia, osteoporosis, frailty, and Cachexia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35688360/ Creatine in T Cell Antitumor Immunity and Cancer Immunotherapy: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34067957/    Creatine electrolyte supplement improves anaerobic power and strength: a randomized double-blind control study: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1186/s12970-019-0291-x Creatine Supplementation in Women's Health: A Lifespan Perspective: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/3/877  To sum it all up, creatine is safe, effective, and everyone should strongly consider using it throughout any stage of life. It aids in brain health, athletic performance, muscle health, bone health, sleep quality, and mood. And these are facts that have been proven over and over by legitimate scientific studies.  Don't get hung up on the brand. Just look for a label that says creatine monohydrate. I highly recommend this product not just for performance but also for longevity, optimizing aging, and protecting health through the lifecycle.  If you enjoyed this, share it on social media, tag FitFizz and let me know your favorite part. Send it your loved ones and get them on some creatine!  Thank you so much for listening!

Highlights in this episode: • what to expect in future episodes of the Pleasure Power Podcast • who this podcast is for  • how to be more sex-positive in various ways • how sex-negativity affects the LGBTQ+ community   • sex-positive language about kinks and sex workers Join in the sexy fun on Twitter and IG: @Pleasure_Power My name is Kelly Wilson and I'm a sex-positive health coach who wants to talk to you about sex, sexuality and help you to overcome sexual shame. I also host the FitFizz podcast where you can learn about health, realistic fitness goals, energy, and mindset. https://fitfizzstudio.com

On the sweet 16th episode of Shit We Don’t Talk About, we are welcoming Kelly Wilson, of fitfizzstudio.com and host of the FitFizz podcast; Kelly is a personal trainer, nutrition coach, behavior change specialist, and autoimmune educator who has been in the health and fitness industry for 25 years. So she is more than qualified to talk about today’s pressing issue: medical gaslighting. Simply put, medical gaslighting happens when a doctor dismisses a patient’s concerns, questions, or symptoms. It even occurs when they downplay what you’ve got going on. We’re pretty sure everyone has been affected by this--particularly people who are chronically ill. Gaslighting, in general, might be better referred to as “crazymaking.” People engage in this behavior to get what they want and not address the problem at hand. Also, they are assholes.

Have you ever heard of the hope molecule? It's pretty cool.     You already know that when it comes to movement, something is better than nothing. You've also probably heard of endorphins, and we know that serotonin is our happiness hormone, so it's good to do things that give you an extra hit of serotonin such as getting exercise, meditating, or spending time in nature. But there's more to it.     Why does it feel so great most of the time to sweat, and push limits, and move heavy things, and run long distances, and dance like nobody's watching — or if you're like me to dance like everybody is watching?      There is something nicknamed the Hope Molecule which is responsible for this. So even though it can be fun to think of the body as "magic", there obviously is something scientific happening in the chemical soup known as the human body.     Also in this episode: • How to activate "the hope molecule" • How the hope molecule activates our feelings of hope and courage • The role of myokines in the body       Leave me a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/fitfizz       https://fitfizzstudio.com/coaching       In case you're new to FitFizz, I’m Kelly Wilson, owner of fitfizzstudio.com and I’m a certified trainer, nutrition coach, behavior change specialist (as in — I'm certified in knowing how to help people change their unhealthy behaviors), autoimmune disease educator and I’ve worked in the health and fitness industry since soon after Suzanne Summers started selling the Thigh Master back in the 90s. I'm here to help you ditch the gimmicks, find strength through your struggles, give you the knowledge for making the smartest choices for your own health and to remind you to celebrate victory all along the way!      The information shared is for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing should be interpreted as an intent to diagnose, treat, cure, heal, or prescribe. 

In episode 9 I talked about adrenal fatigue and I'm long overdue for a continuation of that. Today I'm explaining why many doctors say that adrenal fatigue simply doesn't exist.       If you don't have adrenal fatigue or don't think it applies to you, here's why I want you to keep listening: many topics that I cover are precursors to autoimmune conditions that can be avoided or reversed without medical interventions.       Roughly 1 in 4 people are living with 1 or more autoimmune conditions right now. That's a lot. And it's prevalency is only going to increase because a lot of these things stem from chronic stress, lack of quality sleep, unaddressed trauma, and poor nutrition. So if you care about more than 3 people on this planet, it's important to have awareness of these things because it can empower you to be able to see red flags of disease in those that you care about.       Let me confirm from my experience — when I was in it, I couldn't see it for myself because I was too deep in the symptoms to see clearly. If you have these types of issues happening in your life, you certainly aren't going to have the luxury of caring about superficial things like how much you can deadlift, having a smaller waist, or having triceps that don't jiggle...and that's why I want to educate on red flags of disease here on the FitFizz podcast!       Some of the things you'll learn in today's episode:  • Why functional medicine doctors acknowledge adrenal fatigue but other doctors don't   • Basics of adrenal fatigue   • What adrenaline allows us to do   • Breaking down the term adrenal fatigue and why semantics makes people dismiss its existence   • Medical gaslighting   • Other terms that are similar — but not equal to — adrenal fatigue       Using natural supplements to lessen your perceived stress load: https://www.amazon.com/shop/fitfizz?listId=3JSFIH1I0HBGU       Set up a personalized virtual coaching session with me so I can guide you towards feeling relief in your stressed-out life: https://fitfizzstudio.com/coaching       Share this with someone in your VIP section...and until next time, breathe, stay strong, and always celebrate victory!    I’m Kelly Wilson, and I'm the owner of fitfizzstudio.com and I’m a personal trainer, nutrition coach, behavior change specialist, autoimmune disease educator and I’ve worked in the health and fitness industry since barely anyone knew what email was.

Trauma responses and trauma bonds are two things that tend to become addictive to someone who's experienced trauma for two big reasons. First, it's familiar. Remember, safety is not familiar to a traumatized person. Pain is. Second, the body keeps re-attempting to finally find safety. Learn about all of this and much more in today's episode. Also in this episode: • why safety is required for trauma healing • examples of fight, flight and freeze types of trauma responses • the true meaning of being "triggered" by something • what trauma bonds look like • why trauma bonds happen You can still get the FitFizz shirt that says "do the work" for 25% off with the code TRAUMAWORK through the end of July.

Emotional eating. Stress eating. It affects everyone at some point in life. Some more than others. I'm here to tell you it's also natural. Today we're talking about when how emotional eating can become a concern and that is when the mental aspect is an issue. Emotional eating on its own is not "bad", but what can be not-so-healthy is the mindset. I'll explain all that and more in this episode.   What you'll learn about in this episode: • The privilege of having access to snacks, groceries and food delivery • Why it's not okay to comment on anyone's change in body size and the one time when it is okay • Why emotional eating itself is natural and not a bad thing • When emotional eating becomes problematic and what to do about it • How habits like emotional eating are developed over time • Associating emotions with food • How the primitive brain plays a role in emotional eating • The difference between harmless emotional eating and a self-destructive mindset • How emotional eating is all about fear, pain, control, and comfort • How to plan for change if emotional eating bothers you   Special announcement!

Hello, my FitFizz friends! How are you doing lately considering the drastic shift in the state of the world? It feels pretty surreal, huh? Today I'm not directly talking about COVID-19 but I'm talking about the impact that I've seen it have on regular lives and hopefully a bit of a new perspective if you've found yourself frustrated in any way with this shift. I see a lot of pointless judgments going on in regards to fitness goals, and gyms not being open, etc. These judgments are one-sided in their opinions on the effectiveness of home workouts and I realized the voices that were not part of this picture are the people who are really trying to achieve something in their fitness journey and how they're struggling. So I decided to do this episode and I think you'll find it worthwhile. Highlights in this episode: • Two sides of a big argument that I'm seeing and how I see validation on both sides • Deciding what's best for you and your goals during this time • The overlooked side of immune-boosting supplements • Deciding if the inflammation from junk food is a good choice or not if you're concerned with boosting your immune system • Cytokine storms • Sleep and adrenaline • Your outlook on home workouts • Why nobody is "too strong" for a home workout to be effective • Choosing your home workout with your goals in mind • Calming mental chaos • A time for contraction vs. expansion If you need home workouts, new recipes or a sense of community that is away from the noise of your regular Facebook feed, I invite you to join the FitFizz Raw Energy Oasis and I hope to see you there. Just type it into the search box on Facebook or follow this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/FitFizzRawEnergyOasis/ That is all for today, my friends.

As I've been seeing lots of new people in the gym where I train, I've been taking notice of a lot of common dos and don'ts of the gym. I hope this will come in helpful for some of you, because I know that a lot of people don't reach their goals because they are not consistent, and a big part of consistency has to do with confidence. I didn't always have confidence in my body, or at the gym. Everyone starts somewhere. I used to not only be picked last for teams as a kid, but I was often not even picked at all. Today I'm sharing my experiences, my embarrassing start to getting acclimated to the lifting weights, and some tips if you're afraid to venture into the weight room.   Some highlights in this episode to help you feel more confident in the gym: • People aren't watching you as closely as you think they are • Why everyone is bound to have their clumsy moments, even professionals • Why hiring a trainer is best if you want to stay injury-free • Basics about warming up and stretching • Have a plan • Wipe up your sweat; clean the equipment • Dumbbell etiquette • Put equipment away • Use a locker; Don't put your bags, purses, coats in the training area • Properly asking for help • A challenge for you to get out of your comfort zone! Note: At 08:40 I said "Stairmaster" but I meant to say "treadmill".   If you accept this challenge, I'd love to hear about it! Tag @fitfizz on social media and show me what you're trying that's new each week that you're proud of — even if you're listening to this a year from now, I will be your cheerleader to help you celebrate those victories of trying new things at the gym!   Please share this with anyone who popped into your head while listening, subscribe, leave a review for the show, and if you'd like extra content, visit Patreon.com/kellywilson and check out the different levels of rewards you can get for helping to support the growth of FitFizz.

If you feel extra stress from these last few weeks of the year due to shopping, crowds, social gatherings, late nights, huge meals, traveling, having house guests or having to plan parties — that stress isn't just your body and mind feeling frazzled — it goes much deeper than that. The truth is, that feeling is your hormones screaming out for help. They're aware that you're in some state of "crisis mode". So when the stress has been prolonged to several days or weeks, and it's affecting your mood... again, that's hormones. Stress goes up, cortisol goes up and the rest of your hormones are sensing something is off. A chain reaction is set off to your other hormones like insulin, melatonin, adrenaline, serotonin, and vitamin D, and all of these things can make your energy plummet if you're not proactively trying to prevent it.   Other highlights in this episode: · how hunger hormones play a role in stress · the importance of B-12, folate, and magnesium · using magnesium as a supplement · how protein can stabilize your mood · why using sugar for energy isn't the best idea · adrenal-supporting tea · setting boundaries · self-kindness and inflammation · how to choose between sleep and gym time if you can only choose one Rest, boundaries and nutrients can be your superpowers for any time that life gets extra busy.   Please note that this is the last episode of 2019! I'll be back on New Year's day with a brand new episode. I've been working on lining up a variety of interesting guests that I'll be interviewing on the show in early 2020.   If you've enjoyed the show and feeling extra gratitude you can help to support FitFizz by going to patreon.com/kellywilson and checking out the rewards you can get there.

In part 1 (of 2) on mistakes that destroy body confidence, I talk a little bit about how I think that men's body confidence issues are a bit overlooked and my plans to discuss that on future shows. I also talk about why I feel strongly about FitFizz being for men, trans men, non-binary people — as well as women — during this time that so many small businesses are focused on women only. Body confidence is something that any human can struggle with. I don't have a magic solution, but I have quite a few suggestions and things to consider. Mistake 1: Having an all-or-nothing mentality: • being real about what fits into your life • saying no to losing weight for a specific event • ways that you might talk yourself out of going to the gym   Mistake 2: Asking "Does this make me look fat?" and other similar questions" • why it's a lose-lose scenario • my own insecurities • what you can do if insecurity is nudging you to ask that question out loud I also discuss some of my thoughts on the body-positivity movement and more!

Today's show is all about getting you informed on something called sleep hygiene. As science advances, we're all becoming smarter about our health in general (I hope) and we're realizing that more tech and more gadgets aren't always better, and we're also learning that simplifying parts of life can help reduce stress in our often-chaotic lives. That includes being smarter about sleep! Most people struggle to get enough whether it's work demands, family demands or they struggle with being able to sleep for various reasons. If you have a job where you work 2nd or 3rd shift, it can also be very challenging to get adequate sleep because the rest of the world simply doesn't operate that way. Not only that, but the sun, our circadian clocks, and our individual chronotypes don't operate that way either. Don't worry — if you're not sure what circadian clocks or chronotypes are, I'll explain that during the show too. Sleep hygiene, in short, is doing things to optimize your sleep so that whether you get enough of it or not, you're taking steps to improve the QUALITY of the sleep that you DO get. There are things you can do make sure you're getting the best sleep you possibly can and in turn, it will help you to feel more rested, more energized, and more alert during your waking hours. If you suffer from insomnia, or if you're a light sleeper and never quite feel rested — there is SO much you can from a sleep hygiene standpoint that can greatly increase your chances of sleeping during the night and sleeping more soundly. Also in today's show: • the importance of sleep • how your glymphatic system works to take out the trash while you sleep • practical ways to improve your sleep hygiene If you optimize your sleep, you can end up feeling like you're getting more sleep, even if you're not.

Sometimes words are just words, but sometimes the words we use can hinder objectives — much like the way I spoke about the term "clean eating". I have another word I want you to rethink today. That word is toning. It's gotta go! Listen to find out why you should immediately cut the T word from your vocabulary and how it relates to a very common fitness fear of putting on muscle. Also in this episode: • why any person should embrace muscular development • the common fitness fear of having people watching or criticizing you • a bit about sagging skin • should you do weight training or cardio first if doing both in one workout?

Today I'm addressing what I call the myth of cleaning eating. I say this for many reasons. Whether you agree with me or not, I also want to make the origination of clean eating more well-known. Listen to find out where it started, why I say it's a myth and the ways that it can be a destructive term to throw around. Later in the episode, I also mention a video that I did on the topic of detoxes and what they're all about.

What does inflammation look like and what does it really mean? What's all this buzz about leaky gut? Today I'm going to break it down for you just like a properly working digestive system breaks down food! Leaky gut — or intestinal permeability — is lurking in the intestines of far more people than you may realize. If you find yourself running to the bathroom soon after you eat or your skin breaking out in dry patches or splotches, that could also be a sign. I'll give you a simple explanation of the microscopic damage that's happening if you ignore the symptoms and I'll even tell you a sign to look for in the toilet to tell if your body might be improperly digesting protein or fats. It's important to know the symptoms of leaky gut due to food sensitivities in order to prevent worse health issues like autoimmune disease or cancer. I'll explain all of that and more in this episode.

Last week was Eating Disorders Awareness Week. In this episode, I'm giving a quick recap of my exciting experience of dancing at the Chicago Bulls game for the Chicago Luvabulls 40th Reunion, then we're covering something more serious. I want to give you a high-level view of eating disorders and disordered eating. Last week was National Eating Disorders Awareness Week and eating disorders still carry far too much stigma. If we can lessen the shame, we can help the healing process for those who struggle. I think it's important for everyone to understand: • The difference between eating disorders and disordered eating • Having awareness about any potentially destructive language that you might use • How to approach someone if you have concerns over suspicious eating habits • Why it's important to separate body size from any potential food issues • What disordered eating habits might look like RESOURCES: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/eating-disorders.html https://www.recoveredliving.com Website: https://fitfizzstudio.com Connect on all social media: @FitFizz (Leave a comment about the show and I'm happy to follow back!)
