Sea Moss: Superfood or Overhyped Supplement?

I’m probably a bit behind the social media trends (what else is new!) but sea moss hit my radar hard this month. Is it really worth it? Does it match the hype? Can it help with health, longevity and athletic performance? Let’s jump into what I learned...

The claims are bountiful - boosts energy, enhances athletic performance, supports immunity, improves digestion and even promotes healthy skin. There is no doubt that sea moss is nutrient dense but the scientific evidence behind many of the claims for it is far less convincing.

Sea moss is a type of edible red algae and has been consumed for centuries in parts of Europe, Ireland and the Caribbean as both a food and a traditional remedy.

The big claim for including in your daily nutrition plan has to do with the small amounts of several vitamins and minerals, including:

Prediabetes and Athltes

When most athletes think of prediabetes, they picture someone who is overweight, inactive or has a poor diet. While those are well-known risk factors, the reality is that prediabetes can affect athletes, too. In fact, I have seen more than my fair share of highly trained athletes who are metabolically unhealthy despite training regularly. Spoiler alert: training (a lot) doesn’t automatically make you “healthy”. Let’s dig into this a bit more...

Prediabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. The more common diagnostic criteria include:

Why Vitamin C and Collagen Work Better Together

In my professional opinion, collagen supplements are one of the most popular supplements among athletes, active adults and really anyone looking to support healthy joints, tendons, ligaments, skin and connective tissue. However, one important detail is often overlooked when using collagen as a supplement: collagen works best when paired with vitamin C.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and serves as a major structural component of connective tissues. While collagen supplements provide the amino acids needed to build and repair these tissues, vitamin C plays a critical role in the actual production and stabilization of collagen fibers...

The Key to Performance: Managing Inflammation

I’m sure you have heard of inflammation but do you really know what it is? And more importantly, what it does in the body? Hint - it’s not all bad as the media often makes it out to be.

Inflammation is a normal and necessary response to training. It initiates the repair process that allows the body to adapt and become stronger. The real issue is not inflammation itself but how well it is regulated and resolved. Read that again because it is SUPER important to commit that to memory!

In training environments, your body is constantly exposed to stressors such as high volume and intensity loads, frequent competition, travel and disrupted sleep.

This creates a state of chronic low-grade inflammation if you do not manage it properly. And when this inflammation becomes excessive or prolonged, it can lead to slower recovery, impaired tissue repair, increased risk of injury, reduced gut and immune function and poor sleep metrics...

Fat Loss and Athletic Performance

Definitely one of the most common (and difficult) topics athletes hire me to help them with is losing body fat. While losing body fat is absolutely realistic, it must be done correctly to avoid a decrease in performance.

Many athletes simply approach losing body fat too aggressively via large calorie deficits, excessive aerobic exercise and reduced carbohydrate intake. While all of these may lead to weight loss, they will likely come at the expense of athletic performance.

The key is to shift from a “weight loss” mindset to a performance-preserving fat loss strategy. Here are some tips to initiate in your fat-loss journey:

Post-Exercise Oxidative Stress

After a hard workout, what’s the first thing you think about? If you are like me, it’s what to put in your body to maximize recovery - specifically the macronutrients carbohydrates, protein and fat.

Okay, good. We are on the right track. But have you ever thought about what micronutrients are in your macronutrients, specifically, the ones that contain antioxidants?

Did you also know that consuming some antioxidants immediately after exercise can actually impair your fitness gains?

Now that I have your attention, let’s dig a little deeper...

The Benefits of Green Tea Extract

I’m sure you have heard of the potential benefits of green tea but do you know how many systems in the body green tea can really have a positive impact on? Probably more than you think.

Don’t worry if you don’t drink green tea. I’m not trying to get you to start (unless you want to) because, well, you can reap the benefits of green tea by simply using its extract.

Green tea extract, derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, is a concentrated source of bioactive compounds that have been widely studied for their impact on health, performance and longevity. Its primary active ingredients (catechins, particularly EGCG) are responsible for many of its physiological benefits.

Let’s dive in...

What are Peptids?

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have more than likely heard of the latest supplement that makes some pretty big promises - peptides.

Hands down, peptides have become one of the fastest-growing trends in the health, fitness and longevity space. But, are they “all that”? Let’s dig in.

At a basic level, peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks that make up proteins. But unlike whole proteins, peptides act more like signaling molecules, telling the body what to do and when to do it.

In the body, peptides regulate a wide variety of functions, from hormone production and immune response to tissue repair and metabolism. For example, peptides can influence the release of growth hormone, support collagen production and affect appetite and fat metabolism. This ability to “communicate” with the body is what makes them so intriguing from a performance and longevity standpoint...

Is Chocolate a "Health" Food?

Due to my obsession with chocolate, I know I can definitely place chocolate in the “health” food category but does it really belong there? The answer is one of my favorites, “it depends”.

The benefits of chocolate depend heavily on the cocoa percentage. The percent cocoa listed in chocolate products tells you how much of the product comes from cocoa solids and cocoa butter - the components that contain the beneficial compounds...

Lion's Mane and Brain Health

Lion’s mane is definitely not a new topic or supplement but recently, I have been seeing many products that are including Lion’s Mane in their ingredients. Is it really that important to include in your daily nutrition plan? Let’s find out.

Lion’s mane, a shaggy-looking mushroom, has been touted for improving brain function, supporting physical performance and promoting long-term health. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries but modern research is now uncovering why it may be so effective.

One of lion’s mane’s most important and popular benefits is its impact on brain health...
