Does creatine damage your kidneys? Cause hair loss? Make you bloated or dehydrated? 🤔
You’ve probably heard these claims—but does the science actually support them?
In my new video, I break down 5 of the biggest creatine myths and explain what the latest research really shows about:
✅ Kidney health
✅ Hair loss
✅ Bloating
✅ Dehydration
✅ Muscle cramps
Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in fitness. It’s also one of the most misunderstood.

How much creatine can you safely take?
Most people use 3–5 grams per day for muscle and performance. But research suggests higher doses may offer additional benefits—especially for the brain.
A recent study even tested a single 25–30 gram dose after sleep deprivation. The results may surprise you.

If you’re building muscle on a budget, which supplements are actually worth your money?
In my latest video, I reveal the three supplements I would prioritize first and explain:
• Which one helps fill a common nutrition gap
• Which one offers benefits beyond muscle and strength
• How your age and goals can change what you need
• When performance and general health require different choices
You don’t need a cabinet full of supplements. You need the right ones for your goals.

Training every major muscle group more frequently may help you:
• Burn more body fat
• Build greater strength
• Gain more muscle
• Support better metabolic health
In this video, I break down the research behind four major benefits of full-body training and explain why experienced lifters should consider it, too.
