In this episode of Resilience Redefined, host Michael Ostrolenk speaks with Will Brink, a health and fitness pioneer with over 30 years of experience in nutrition, supplements, and human performance.
Will shares his journey into fitness after a personal health crisis, explores the evolution of fitness and nutrition trends, and offers science-backed insights into supplements like creatine and whey protein. We also dive into the importance of tracking lab work, the difference between plant and whey proteins, and the future of health optimization.
Key Takeaways:
Creatine isn't just for the gym—it also supports brain health and TBI recovery.
Whey protein is uniquely effective at boosting glutathione production.
Tracking bloodwork is crucial for knowing whether supplements actually work.
Many fitness "trends" are simply recycled old ideas.
Plant proteins can work when mixed properly for amino acid balance.
Science > marketing when it comes to supplements.
