Many are concerned about these four common substances and whether they should limit them, add more, or even indulge in them in the first place. I broke down each one and explained what it is, why it's used, and how much you should be having. Quickly: creatine is underutilized, is natural, and increases not only muscle & strength but cognition, sodium/salt is a crucial mineral and is demonized rather unjustly (I talked correlation/causation), caffeine is a wonderful servant but terrible master, and carbs are needed by most to a certain extent (I talk about glycogen, the thermogenic effect of food, and keto & low carb dieting here).
