Hey, really enjoying the videos! Great information and not too extreme for most people to easily follow. I'm back on a regular workout routine and eating better and your videos are helping to stay motivated and on track! By the way, audio is much better now! Next, I'd work on your lighting. A bit too dark in the kitchen. You could use a light to brighten up your left side a bit and get rid of the shadow causing the racoon eyes. Then in your workout room, the video is very washed out. If your using a DSLR adjust your ISO and aperture when changing from one shoot location to the next to adjust for the lighting. Lots of great YT videos on this if you need help. Keep up the great work!
I took a closer look at your tips and even with some googling it’s over my head haha. I just film with my iPhone and unfortunately I don’t have any accessory lighting at this point. I could be more mindful of the lights I turn on and maybe change out the lights I have in my gym to see if that helps. Eventually getting some sort of added lighting is in my radar too. Any idea if what you suggested would apply to an iPhone? Haha
Yea it really is sad.. some are visibly unhealthy, but many more have just as unhealthy habits. It’s important to lead by example if nothing more than to be able to say you truly understand how difficult it can be.
Regarding creatine, I started taking kre alkalyn a couple years ago, as it's supposed to be buffered, which absorbs Better and causes less bloat. I don't see many people using this kind though, nor talking about it... What is your opinion on this type? Thanks for the informative videos!
So from what I can tell, it’s not different in terms of the end result of creatine, but given some of its differences you can use lower doses and may have less side effects so those who don’t tolerate regular creatine monohydrate might do better on something like this. I’m not sure if there’s any studies directly comparing those 2 or not but as they have the same end result I’d expect the results to be the same as well. If it works for you roll with it. It seems like it’s more expensive potentially, but you’d have to compare how much the dose you take is too if you can get away with less dose. That’d be the only reason to consider trying monohydrate to see if it’s all the same for you potentially for a lower cost 🤷♂️
@@FitDadMD thank u! I wish there were studies comparing the two, as I hope I'm not missing out on any muscle gain, energy, or cognitive benefits, esp for the price. Creatine hcl is another popular one, but that one is quite icky taste wise!
@@summersalix yes I think creatine hcl has more studies comparing it and with equivalent dosing is the same as regular creatine, but you can take a smaller dose because it’s more bio available. Likely it’s the same for Kre Alkalyn. I did find one study comparing it to creatine, but instead of a more “equivalent dose” they used equal doses, so the alkalyn version would be giving a larger effective dose, and they noted a small difference with a larger benefit for alkalyn, but I didn’t see them break it down to see if it was a statistically significant difference or not.
@@FitDadMD thank u so much for checking so thoroughly into this! You rock! Its good to know it's effective and I'm not being duped int paying more for a lesser effect. I take 5g a day... I could probably go lower due to the better availability, but mentally, anything lower than 5g doesn't seem worth it, lol. And I don't have a colon, so I'm always worried about absorption and hence tend to err on the side "just in case" Lol. Thanks again!

@@biscuittreewoodworks awesome thanks so much for the feedback! I’m glad my videos are helping you!

It is a relief to see a physician setting a good example. It is disappointing seeing physicians every day that do not demonstrate a healthy lifestyle.
