Annette Zapp Creatine benefits for firefighters

This week's guest: Annette Zapp. Lt. (ret.) from the Lisle-Woodbridge Fire Protection District (IL)
Annette has a masters in molecular biology and biochemistry from the University of South Dakota. She worked in strength and conditioning coaching for years and just co-authored a review on the effects of creatine for tactical athletes.
This review: "Fueling the Firefighter and Tactical Athlete with Creatine: A Narrative Review of a Key Nutrient for Public Safety"
looks at how daily use of creatine has way more benefits than just muscle growth.
But, more than that we talk about wellness pitfalls within the fire service, using creatine to potentially lengthen your career (and hopefully your health) and the future for Annette after retirement (she's doing some really great stuff.
