GAINS!!!!!!!!!
GAINZ
Gaaaaaaiiiins!!!!
Gaaiiiieeerrhhhgg
Elso is totally right,
protein and pre-workout are great for maximizing effectiveness in the gym.
There’s a whole host of different supplements for all kinds of things aside from simply
GAINS
Why do we need to supplement?
Because we eat mostly processed foods that are stripped of essential nutrients.
We’re also a culture of germaphobes sterilizing everything with antibacterial sprays,
we’re taking antibiotics for common colds, so our gut biomes are all jacked up and when
our guts are messed up, our bodies and our minds are messed up because our gut is our second brain.
Here are some of the things we supplement and why.
A healthy gut is a fundamental necessity and probiotics are a great way to balance the gut flora.
You can find it in fermented foods like kombucha, kimchi, kefir, and lately
we’ve been taking probiotic capsules.
It relaxes nervous system and mind, reduces stress.
The most popular magnesium supplement is called Calm.
It can also be found in foods like spinach.
Vitamin “D”?
Not that vitamin D, we’re talking sunlight.
Vitamin D lifts the mood, promotes long-term brain health, hormone regulation and is good for the soul.
The omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil reduce inflammation and help the joints.
JOINTS?
huhuhuhuhhh
Not those joints!
Omega 3 fatty acids also be found in foods like chia seeds, flax seed, krill oil and sardines.
Greens powder is great because it rounds out the nutritional profile the body needs.
We drink it daily or whenever we feel nutritionally deficient.
It’s also great for travel when we don’t have access to fresh, local greens.
Hydration powder helps us increase our water intake cuz it tastes good,
but more importantly, it’s great for boosting electrolytes after exercise and dehydration.
Those supplements we take daily but we also take some situational supplements that
depend on where we’re at, climate, what we’re doing, all kinds of things.
I take Herbal supplements like ginkgo to help specifically with my Raynauds symptoms and it’s WORKING!
I also drink herbal teas like this one, chaste berry which regulates hormones and menstural cycles.
Spirulina capsules are a densely packed, vegan source of protein that we take if we need a boost
We take Alpha brain before work or when in need of cognitive clarity.
Alpha brain? That sounds SICK.
Give me some a those!
We take Shroom Tech on days with lots of physical exertion or climbing,
as it helps with energy and endurance.
Nice!
Great work! This is sick!!
And we take New Mood after a long day which helps to relax and rebuild the mind.
B vitamins are also very important especially for people like us who don’t eat a lot of meat.
But thankfully, you can find these B vitamins in Shroom Tech, Alpha Brain and New Mood.
If you want to have most of your bases covered without having to put a lot of thought into it,
Onnit has a product called Total Primate Care.
It’s a kit of day/night time, single use packets of almost all the vitamins we talked about today.
Aubrey Marcus’ company, Onnit, is not paying us to talk about their products,
but they did supply us with some free supplements to try out for this video.
It’s been really fun to try them out along with our regular supplements and thanks
SO much to Erick, Dion and Paul for making this happen!!
Did we miss anything? Are there any other supplements we should include in our list?
If you take something every day that you really love and recommend, leave it down in the comments below.
Thank you so much for watching this video and we’ll talk to you in the comments. Bye!
So our butt giome……

Must you be so dramatic? Do you really need your shoulder to swallow them?
(Choking)
You’re ridiculous!
It gets stuck in my throat!
I can’t take like 10 supps at one time!!
