In this episode of the Always Adaptive Podcast, I sit down with Nicholas Verhoeven, a PhD in molecular medicine and the creator of @Physionic on YouTube, to break down the science behind supplements. We dive into the research on creatine, omega-3, collagen, NAD, and NMN, exploring their health benefits and potential risks. Nicholas explains why study design is crucial for understanding supplement research, how rodent studies translate to human health, and the controversies surrounding anti-aging compounds like NAD and NMN. We also discuss why foundational habits—like exercise, nutrition, and sleep—matter more than relying on supplements. If you want an evidence-based take on what actually works, this episode is for you.
