HOW TO PICK QUALITY CREATINE 💪

Skip the fancy marketing. Here’s all you need:

✅ Creatine monohydrate most studied, most effective. Ignore “advanced” forms (HCL, buffered, ethyl ester) that cost more for no proven benefit.

✅ Third-party tested look for NSF Certified for Sport, Informed Sport, or USP on the label.

✅ Creapure® a purity gold-standard many trusted brands use.

✅ Clean ingredient list just creatine, no fillers or proprietary blends.

✅ Don’t overpay creatine is a commodity. Plain unflavored powder = best value.

Dose: 5g a day. That’s it. 🥄 taken in Lifetime Fitness by @chatteronthestreets

Ejection Fraction is normal, so the heart’s fine.” Not so fast.
In HFpEF the filling pressure can sit normal at rest and only climb once you make the heart work.

A resting echo stuck in the gray zone (score 2–5) hasn’t ruled anything out.

So stress it, then measure:
1️⃣ Exercise stress echo :non-invasive, strong for ruling it in
2️⃣ Right heart cath with exercise :the gold standard when the echo won’t commit

Save this for the next “normal echo” that isn’t.

LETS GET BACK TO THE BASICS OF PROTEIN

Amino acids are the building blocks your body links together to make every protein you run on.
Of the 20( maybe 21) NINE are essential ,your body can’t make them, so they have to come from your plate.
No viral snack, powder, or “complete protein” gimmick rewrites that biochemistry.

Back to basics ,it’s what your body actually needs. Science over hype. 🎤 Chatter on the Streets by @chatteronthestreets

Everyone’s obsessed with protein, but is it quality protein or just whatever says “X grams” on the front of the back?

Half the time it’s a processed snack!

Flip it over: all 9 essential amino acids? Check the PDCAAS score too, 1.0 is complete and usable, collagen is near zero. Quality builds muscle, not the gram count.

Told to quit coffee for your heart? The science just flipped. ☕️❤️

200 people with AFib, freshly shocked back into rhythm half kept drinking coffee, half quit all caffeine for 6 months.

The twist: the quitters had MORE AFib. 64% relapsed vs. 47% of coffee drinkers nearly 40% lower risk for keeping your cup. (DECAF Trial, JAMA 2025)

But 🛑 this is COFFEE brewed, moderate, natural. NOT energy drinks, pre-workout, or caffeine pills. Same molecule, different package. Still not advised for a heart patient.

Caffeine was never the villain. The delivery system is. 💡

Were you told to quit coffee for your heart? 👇

Not medical advice talk to your clinician, especially with AFib.

LETS SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON CREATINE💪

The #1 thing the science actually supports? Strength and muscle . It is one of the most studied, most effective supplements out there for building strength and mass, in athletes AND older adults, well-tolerated long-term. That part isn’t hype.

The brain stuff? 🧠 That’s where people get ahead of the evidence.

🤔 Emerging & mixed and mostly limited to: early memory signals mostly in people who are older, stressed, sleep-deprived, or vegetarian people. European regulators (EFSA) reviewed and rejected the cognition claim

❌ Not proven: “curing brain fog” in healthy adults (regulators actually rejected that claim)

Save this and send it to someone who’s been sold the hype.
#Also what do you think helps with mental fog?

That supplement isn’t magic, if it promises everything, it’s selling something.

Hype gets clicks. Honesty gets your trust and we’re here for the second one.

Stay tuned to hear from world-renowned cardiologist Dr. Christopher Granger on supplements, how well do we actually know them, and how well are they really researched?

Science over hype. Always. 🔬

We told heart failure patients to fear salt for decades. Then someone ran the trial. 🧂

The sodium dilemma, did we just make up an arbitrary number ? Are we creating an artificial environment when treating patients or there is actually science behind the restrictions ?

Men: even 3 steps is too much. 😅 So here’s the bare minimum :cleanser, Avène water, sunscreen.

And no, most of you don’t need moisturizer ,your oil glands are built different. That’s it. That’s the basic routine.

Skincare doesn’t have to be expensive to work. It has to be consistent.

I went to Trader Joe’s and built a full skincare routine for under $36 for hypersensitive skin.

Just the actives that actually do something:

🧼 Castille Magic Bar Soap $3.99
💧 Hyaluronic Moisturizer Boost serum $8.99
☀️ Sunscreen $12.99
💧 Jojoba Oil $9.99

PM: Bar soap → Jojoba oil. That’s it. That’s the routine.

Science over hype. Always.

Would you run this routine? 👇 Drop your TJ’s holy grail.
