Im curious as to why he would apologize for promoting himself just like thousands of others do. Now, if you have seen him break down products outside of his own, he makes a case for why he even has a product. Im going to check his product myself and see what he has to offer in relation to the others. It seems to compare quite well on my initial cost assessment so its about what is in it.

I’ve been taking omega 3s since I was 24. I’m 52 now and am in great shape. Perfect blood pressure, blood sugar, etc.

[@RobertJones-on3vb]

I'm glad you highlighted omega 3's in this one. I've taken them for about as long as I've taken supplements, but never realized how crucial they are until I worked for a company that made them. They used only high quality triglyceride form, and marketed it to eye doctors, specifically for treatment of dry eye. There's a lot of great research that supports the theory that omega 3's are the missing link in the world's food supply, and that the deficiency of it caused by the food industry is the root cause of dozens of medical conditions today, that were basically nonexistent fifty+ years ago. It's been compared to fold acid, which is now found in almost every food you can but in a store, but the deficiency of which caused an epidemic. Folic acid is an essential nutrient utilized by fetus' in the womb, and millions of babies were born with defects until it was discovered and the food industry began dumping folic acid in everything. Maybe someday omega 3's will catch on like that.

[@sz6468]

What was the name of the product they marketed for dry eye? Would like to give that a go

[@RobertJones-on3vb]

@sz6468 I think it was called Eye Omega. I'm honestly not sure if the company is still around, the business model was shaky at best. But they were huge on education of the product and I learned a lot. There are several brands that make high quality omega supplements now. Just look for triglyceride form and a serving size that gets you 2g of total omegas. The studies I know of all use either 1g or 2g as their dose, and the 2g group always showed bigger improvements. Also, not mentioned in the video, you need to take it continously and over a long period of time to notice a difference. It takes a few weeks to build up the level of omegas in your blood. Dru eye patients would usually see improvements around 4-6 weeks after starting treatment. Give them a try!

[@ryken7797]

its the introduction of industrial seed oils, super rich in omega 6 which is causing all the problems sadly it has been known since the sixties, this is why omega 3 is shown to have such benefits in studies because 3 and 6 balance and there is insane amounts of omega 6 in food now grain fed chicken is some 1:30 omega3:6 and grain fed chicken eggs have a similair ratio but still, people scoff that sweatshop trash meat and go around telling everyone its good you can find dr william lands original talk still on youtube if you are interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZrZo4yEn86LoZo

My mom is currently trying out Martin Clinic DHA Upgraded. It's expensive but it's a special concentrated formula that has way more DHA than any other fish oil, specifically for people with dry eye. If you were to take that amount of DHA from another brand it would be too much oil and give you toilet troubles, so I told her to go for it and try the expensive one out 🤷‍♀️

[@ITProjectManagerMan]

Agree with all three. I’m 69 years old and after retiring from the rat race decided I wanted to get back as much of the body of my youth as possible. One of the unexpected benefits of Omega 3 for me was it helped me pee with a good stream again! Who knew? Whey protein as you have said is an easy, quick, and economical way of getting the protein I need daily. But the BIGGEST boost I got was from the creatine. Suddenly my muscles are fuller and my strength has improved dramatically. The daily routine of using Whey Protien and the Creatine are relatively new to my regiment, in the last 60 days, but the gains are amazing. There have been lots of struggles in the last 3 years, going from 185 pounds down to 151 pounds (that was NOT a good look, I’m 5’10”. I’m now at 165 pounds which is much better. Walking 3-4 miles a day along with weight training every other day are helping me to finally achieve the look I’m after. The one area I still need to crack though is the last bit of belly fat. Even at 151 it persisted. But looking like a POW camp survivor as I said was not the way to rid myself of it. So I decided building more muscle might be the path forward. Love your video’s and Jessie’s comic relief.

[@mango850]

You guys need to listen to Huberman’s chat with Stacy Sims (22Jul) on women exercising and protein intake. Really interesting differences between men and women. Apparently women, when lifting, burn endogenous protein - lean mass - if they don’t have pre-workout protein intake - one hour prior. And…post workout, there are better results with protein taken within one hour after workout, compared with men, where the window is 2-3 hours. Of course since it’s Huberman, they delve into the neurological effects of no protein prior versus 30g pre workout. There is an effect on cortisol clearance in the morning, if someone works out first thing, when consuming some sort of protein prior to exercise. My wife and I are early bird gym rats, and we now consume some sort of protein drink prior.

Tumeric and Curcumin do seem to be pretty powerful. I experimented with them for several months and unfortunately noticed they really made me feel more fatigued. I’ve heard they help with inflammation… but I didn’t notice anything. That being said, Apple Cider Vinegar is one of those things that changed my life! And I often get eye rolls when I share that info, so Tumeric, ACV, all worth experimenting with!

[@therealninjess]

@@ALINUED it's a supplement. They're gel capsules of 1500mg turmeric curcumin (so a concentrate of the bioactive ingredient) with 10mg of bioperine. I just take them with my breakfast every day. I looked at a few meta-analyses, and this dose was the one consistently shown to be effective. The bioperine (from black pepper) seems to be important for making it bioavailable and had the most evidence to support it when I researched it. You do need to be careful, because it can interact with certain medicines. Always check with your doctor before adding even supplements.

My weight is 150 lbs and I have been supplementing with your protein but was never reaching 150 grams per day. What happened next was that after months of consuming around 90 grams a day I began to itch all over my body constantly. I went to a dermatologist thinking it was a skin issue and after blood test they found that I had high levels of UREA which is a byproduct of protein consumption. I had to lower my protein intake to lower this number and the itching went away. I also increased my water intake. I am currently taking close to 70 grams a day and so far so good.

[@gur262]

70 g is barely above minimum, it would be far better if you got 90-120. Though that's enough. If you can't hit 150 g even with shakes you got some issues with eating in general.

I like a protein blend. Used to use one that had whey, egg and casein but the casein was kind of granular, gritty. Switched to Pro30. 2nd would be creatine HCL. Like Jesse, I have issues with the mono and use HCL exclusively, even still having bouts of bathroom breaks. I try to soak the pre-workout in water for at least 30-60 minutes so it grabs some water from the bottle and not me. :) It's helpful. 3rd would be beta alanine. I've always liked the way it energized me, gave my skin a good tingle or buzz. There are others but these would be my top 3. I added a few more lately but they keep my brain going too much. Trying to get sleep and can't! Had to back off that stuff. It's one thing to get insane mental focus but if you can't sleep, you can't recover.

So, something I’ve started doing is snacking on peanuts. They’ve got lots of protein (12-15 g per serving, not a ton but lots for a natural source). They also have .3 g omega3 (and 6g omega 6) per serving, so they’re a really good natural snack option. In addition, they have little to no trans or saturated fat, lots of unsaturated fat (so good calories), and they also contain amino acids that help your body synthesize creatine. Next time you’re feeling snacky, get yourself a bag of peanuts (the flavoured ones like spicy bbq, salt n pepper and lime n chili are my favourite). You’ll get all these things just from snacking, and peanut butter is really good for this too.

[@MADGUNSMONSTER]

There's a Doctor that blocked me when I confronted him over his Anti-peanut stance. I wasn't vulgar or combative, he simply blocked me. Shows how assured of his stance.

No though. Peanut protein is fairly low quality , similar to wheat protein/gluten. Peanuts are mega calorie dense. When you look at protein per kcal you see they ain't that great. Nothing wrong with snacking on some peanuts but if you'd try to cover your protein needs with nuts you'd be in trouble

Thank you for everything Jeff! I will be 69 years old next month. I had my prostate removed 6 months ago. I am doing well getting my work out routine back on track. I was Mr. San Diego in 1883. The no pain no gain days. So to say the LEAST you have kind of taken me back to the days when I first started. Getting to do and learn something fresh all the time. Anyway, the question. I am not supposed to get anywhere near anything that can increase testosterone. I am hoping you will say creatine does not do that. Thanks!

[@hskbates]

do you mind instructing me on why increased testosterone would be bad in your case? my Father has also had his prostate removed due to cancer but i know for a fact he was recently prescribed a testosterone gel due to other reasons but now i am worried

[@stephenhaynes8229]

I'll do my best. There was one unclear margin after a very successful surgery. They sent my prostate to pathology to find out if my cancer was low risk, medium risk or high risk. They cannot be 100 percent sure they got it all because of the unclear margin. So for me to be cancer free my PSA has to read below .05. My PSA read .04 after the first 3 months. Three days ago it was .05 which was six months after surgery. Because of the risk cancer the are going to do my blood work every 3 months until further notice. If it starts creeping up. Say .06 .07. They want to do MRI or whatever they do to see if cancer is moving. Since they know the area all things still being considered. The might chose to hit that area with radiation, which could create new problems. My understanding is that testosterone can feed or elevate my PSA. That is why I was asking Jeff if creatine could increase testosterone levels. So in my situation I am not ready to increase my testosterone at all. Your father's margins could have been completely clear. That might be one reason they feel comfortable giving him the gel. Also, his cancer may have been rated low risk? There can be many variables. I am VERY new to all this. So I hope that gives you a place to start and gives you ideas as far as questions you might have moving forward. God bless you and have a Great day. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any other questions.

[@commonsenseapproach101]

KSM-66 Ashwaganda(root extract) 600mg, elevATP (ancient peal extract, apple extract) 100mg in at Pharmaceutical Grade nutrition is a game changer for lifting, i'm 47 6'3" 230 and athletic build, my dumbell bench went from max of 95# of 3, and now i'm at 120# 4 reps within 2 months of starting it. Hex dead lift just skyrocketed. But you still need to eat properly and hydrate. Blood work is excellent and I'm mentally clearer as well. I'm with BodyWise Nutrition for over 25 years. My 3 must are, Quality Protein that is made at a Pharmaceutical Grade level, Hands down the above, Pharmaceutical Grade Calcium (high amounts, as we burn so much calcium when lifting and very active it would shock you, plus if you understood how a muscle contracts and releases, you see why calcium is a must). Omega's is a for sure runner up. But we also need to remember that a good Immune system is vital for recovery as well.

Hey can you share the brand for the elevATP, KSM-66 and calcium? Thank you in advance

Great video! wondering if creatine is hard on the kidneys?...or in my case kidney. (Donated a kidney last year) Thanks for all the work you do!!

[@dylan.-6527]

It's very safe. Most uneducated healthcare professionals think it's harmful because is falsely throughs off bad markers on kidney function. People who know, know it's only a false thing.

[@jordyjcross]

Yeah I just couldn’t get on with it - constantly having to urinate. It can’t be right for me. Also heard it’s bad for hair loss and having balding in the family

[@al6967]

My doctor said that creatine supplementation can be hard on the kidneys and advised to: 1. Focus on getting creatine from beef, salmon, and nuts, etc. 2. If taking creatine, take a moderate dose (daily 2.5g for women, 5g for men) in 1+ litre of water & keep hydrated!

Forgot about the Omega 3. Will have to pick some up. And I was a subscriber to Muscle Media 2000 back in the day. It was a good magazine, kind of geared for the everyday person.

I use to work out alot when I was younger now @ 71yrs can I still build muscle when I start working out again ?

[@gsica2097]

I think if you stimulate the muscle and eat enough protein, you WILL build muscle. Take creatine. Eggs are a fantastic source of protein.

[@keithzastrow]

I only take my whey protein 4x/week because that's how often I do my resistance training. I take it right after. However I also take casein protein every night before bed. I take creatine every day and I eat enough omega-3's in my diet to where I don't feel the need to add a supplement form of it. Very glad this video touched on the importance of omega-3's.

@@DylanInAlbuquerque 2x/week I have sardines for lunch....another day I have tuna. Typically have fish 1-2x/week for dinner as well. However, since I posted that I HAVE started taking supplements about 3 weeks ago. Went with Shaklee products fish oil. I take 2 daily. No smell.....either from the pill itself or from me taking it so I'll stick with it. I like their products.

I need to start using Omega-3 again. I have never used creatine, because my brother ended up with something with his liver. But I didn't know there were different types. I need to get on that ASAP

[@jimmcfarland9318]

I didn't find creatine helpful in my mid 30s (probably wasn't using it right?) but in my mid 60s, I've found it very helpful in the gym and in the pool (especially for sprinting, but since I have more power on tap, it isn't hurting the distance, either! I gained over 10 lbs of muscle - with no other variables (other than the fact I could sprint faster and do HIIT better, and can lift more weight.) As much as I tried, I wasn't making gains otherwise. I'd say this has become the most important new supplement I'm using. And still improving!

[@timl.b.2095]

Hm, maybe I will try it again at age 71. Tried it a long time ago to no avail. Maybe the HCL they talked about.

[@ryken7797]

i found a big boost in my cardiovascular performance with nitrates/nitrites, they convert to nirtic oxide and do a bunch of things to enhance the vascular system, they got a bad rap from some poor studies and they are now being studied as possible treatments for heart disease im reducing my caffeine intake and i think i might try creatine again, i had the gut problem so maybe hcl is the go

Can athleanx discuss some of the potential dangers of protein powders? There are some interesting studies investigating liver and kidney damage caused by some of these protein powders. I would really appreciate any additional insight and discussion on this. 🙏

[@giovannidominoni]

Fish oil supplements usually come with a lot of vitamin E, which has been shown to negate the anabolic affect of resistance training, if taken right after working out and at a high dose (that is, supplements dosage). So best take fish oil far away from your gym hours :)

I would like a vid in that, too. At my peak, endurance not mass, there were indicators the nurse had me nervous about but once I got deeper into my routine with the doc all was well. Creatinine, I think, was the big one. I am fat and slow now so no more worries?

[@chuckmacwilliam4168]

I first started to take creatine monohydrate when I began powerlifting. I was amazed at the almost immediate results. I felt bigger and stronger. It definitely worked!

[@HeadCannonPrime]

As a person over 45, every morning I have my "Old Guy muscle coffee". Which is just coffee with a 5g scoop of creatine and a scoop of Collagen protein (good for skin hair and most importantly for training, joint and connective tissue) along with my multivitamin and magnesium. I also have a 30g protein shake in the afternoon. And If I'm really hard pressed for protein, a half cup of cottage cheese right before bed to get a large dose of CASEIN protein will keep you satiated all night while it digests. (pure casein powder is stupid expensive) And while it is not specifically for muscle growth, I believe almost everyone can benefit from fiber supplementation. 1 orange fiber drink per day keeps you regular, lowers cholesterol, and can somewhat be used as an appetite suppressant. I always tell people, just try it for 5 days and if you don't notice an immediate difference in the bathroom, you can stop. I don't know ANYONE that doesn't notice a benefit from fiber.

[@commonsenseapproach101]

As a previous creatine user, i highly recommend NOT taking creatine in any form with any caffeine related product, both dehydrate you so fast, and takes electrolytes out of your muscle tissue, thus leads to tendon and muscle failure. Happened to me and a specialist told me why it happened.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

@@commonsenseapproach101 I also drink an electrolyte infused water during or after a morning walk I forgot that one. To tell the truth I don't even notice the creatine supplement at all. But we take a lot of vitamins that we don't directly notice until deficient.

[@AcvaristulLenes]

You can have more than the recommended daily dose of fiber if you eat legumes (chickpeas, lentils, peas, beans, peanuts) on a daily basis. I do this for at least 7 years. Every day there's a big meal with legumes.

What about recent studies that suggest fish oil supplements can be detrimental to heart health for otherwise heart-healthy individuals?

[@Gina-Montana]

It is a natural blood thinner. My mom took it on the suggestion of her dr many years ago (it was all the hype back then) and developed huge patches of dark bruising down her arms and hands only two weeks in. She looked like a thin skinned elderly person who had taken a bad fall, but she was in her early to mid 50s and had no such injuries. I personally feel like the blanket suggestion for this supplement is a terrible idea. After seeing what it did to my mom, I would never take it unless I needed to be on a blood thinner and wanted a natural option.

[@Cwallis94]

I had a cardiac study done through my work, and they actually recommended taking Omega 3s. 👌They recommended finding one that has about double the EPA vs DHA

[@SilverStar6609]

You forgot to mention other sources for Omega 3s other than fish. In particular, walnuts and canola oil are very easily accessible and easily added to any diet as much as any fish oil pill is. In fact, I added walnuts to my diet because of this channel!

I've heard a couple trusted doctors on here say that fish oil suffers from the same problem as the seed oils in that omega 3 is also a polyunsaturated fat. These of course being unstable, as soon as you extract it, it starts oxidizing.

[@mah.5704]

I want to comment there was a big investigation by EMA (european medicines agency) that found omega 3 fatty acids to increase risk of atrial fibrillation in people who already had heart disease. This was a statisticly significant risk found in a metaanalysis so can be taken seriously. Nonetheless they seem to be beneficial for patients with heart disease as well. But I thinks it's fair to consider this risk.

[@ryken7797]

omega 3 and 6 compete for uptake and the root cause is the insane amount of omega 6 everyone is eating our total omega consumption should be some 1% of our caloric input, trying to balance this seesaw that is insanley heavy on the omega 6 side by throwing insane amounts of 3 omega on to the other side just causes more problems two wrongs dont make a right

[@ryken7797]

I forget the exact numbers but if you do the math and figure it out 1 tablespoon of canola oil has as much omega 6 as many kilos of even grain fed meat its crazy, its way easier to not eat seed oils than it is to chug omega 3
