Speaking as a licenced massage therapist, massage is health care and I'm glad that you're able to incorporate it into your routine. It's also amazing to see when a clients muscles is changing for the better.
I noticed that you look better and better the older you get! beautiful!
As a massage therapist, I would love it if people talked about it as a medical necessity, you said you need it sometimes, we need it all of the time! Nothing bougee about it! Saying it is continues the shame in doing it, especially on a regular basis, we struggle as it is to get enough business coming in, we love it when our clients are our spokesman and preach the benefits and necessity in getting regular massages! Would you say going to PT appointments is bougee? Just a thought🥰 and as a true massage "therapist" we absolutely can feel these changes, that's what we are paid to do, pay close attention to those changes and work accordingly. Muscle density can change with water weight, muscle activity, etc etc but you very well may be correct in that helping.
Necessity means that it is required.
What is your reasoning that it is a necessity?
Practicing LMT of 10 years here and. I couldn’t agree more!! Massage isn’t luxury it’s preventative healthcare ❤
@eamon1648 because there's little to no negatives to receiving them, it's like working out. If you work out in time you're only going to feel better, have better balance, muscle function, endurance, energy, and optimal health. Same goes for massage. The benefits are too many to list. But 99.9% of the time you're going to feel better and have better health after receiving on a regular basis over time. It takes time to see this switch occur. But I'd say 99.9% of us don't even realize how bad we feel until we do something that makes us feel better than ever. Is it a necessity no. Is it a benefit to all who stick to it yes. But as with just about anything we do to our bodies that changes it from what it is used to there is a short period of time where you may feel "worse" before you feel better, that is completely normal and part of the process of changing your body.
I get a massage weekly for the last two years. My massage therapist always notices changes in my body before I do. It's kinda nice... Get it Meg.
Creatine hold more h20 which increases muscular expenditure in atp harder contractions
Linked to hair loss in men and its extremely acidic
@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw incorrect
@@eamon1648 Dumb response. A simple google search will reveal that creatine is very acidic and acids are linked to DHT and hair loss so explain what’s incorrect?
I just wrapped up my first week on creatine. I’m not loading or anything, just doing the 3-5 grams a day and I’ve already noticed more mass on my arms. I’m someone who gets incredibly lean when eating clean and lifting weights, so I’m thankful that creatine is adding back some density for me. I also noticed that taking creatine and amino acids has helped me recover from workouts incredibly fast. Two weeks ago I could only do legs once, maybe twice a week because they were too sore. The first week of taking creatine and BCAAs I was able to do a quad focused leg day, a glute focused leg day, and the third leg day I used body weight only and focused on my adductors and abductors because my inner thighs are exceptionally weak and tight which causes me pain during my runs. I’m excited for continued results!
you should also update how you feel about it C:
Creatine causes hair loss.
When you say density, do you mean you’re getting bigger muscles or does it make you gain fat as well? I’m a newbie so sorry if that’s a dumb question haha. I just take protein powder at the moment to meet my 1g per pound of body weight goal. Have been using weights for 1 month 5 days per week and tracking macros but not seeing much of a difference
@@RIRL916 no fat. It makes your muscles retain more water so they are/look bigger. It helps you do more and heavier with that extra water in your muscles. More to it, but that's the simple explanation. Please Drink alot of water when taking it. For your muscles and to help flush your kidneys liver of residual. That goes for all supplements. It also helps it move through your system better.
Ooh I’m starting creatine today…I’m excited!
I just finished my 1st Buff Chick Creatine. Placing my 2nd order😊
For ADHD not just cut off sugar but also highly process food like chips or so
It has helped me a lot after in Hospital and being on a Ventilator for 10 days and on my Death Bed
Lost 50 lbs while I was in Hospital and couldn't walk when I went to Rehab
Weighted 110 lbs when I went to Rehab and up to 131 now from working out and using creatine and muscle mass for my weight
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved, and have life in Jesus Christ 💗
Jesus genuinely loves you, and always waits for you to come to Him 🕊💞
ohhh nice! i started using mine again a few days ago. i skipped the loading phase but i do one scoop per day. apparently it’s great for the brain too !
yeah i've seen that! before starting the first time i read a lot of literature on creatine, and if i remember correctly, there's evidence it's good for the brain and cognitive performance, and even potentially for depression
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing. 💚
Eyes,jawline,cheekbones 😍😩
Meg you are looking beautiful girl ❤ just glowing ❤
Just started and I’m excited to see the results
Question: aside from muscle mass, has it caused you to gain weight? I'm trying to get lean and lose fat. I've always been scared of creatine and whey protein just cuz of what I heard growing uo. But honestly I'm just ignorant about workout supplements in general. What have you experienced since using it? Do you notice a difference in your workouts? Lol sorry that's more than one question but you got me so curious now. 😊
Yes this is what I heard growing up as well, that you can gain a lot of weight with it and that scared me 😂
I have the same question!!!!
I use creatine to speed my metabolism and if you’re on a deficit it won’t make you gain weight. I’ve lost weight with creatine and looked lean for two years.
It makes you super pumped during work out , better muscle mind connections, helps with recovery and makes you lift heavier weights that you never thought you could do lol . Drink 5g a day (powdered is better) in the morning and your coffee.
Hey guys! Welcome to the wellness community. Since you are self-declared new folk, I thought I'd summarise the most important aspects of supplementation:
- First and foremost, unless your doctor tells you that you NEED a supplement, you never need a supplement.
- Second, step one of supplementing is making sure your diet prioritises whole foods and provides you with enough fruit, veggies and water
- For the first few years of your fitness life, your focus would primarily be in building good habits, cultivating a good relationship with food, finding physical activity that you enjoy and is safe for your body. Enough activity and good nutrition cover 95% of the stuff you will ever need.
- To lose weight you have to generate an energy deficit (also called caloric deficit: means you must eat less than your body expends)
- To gain weight you have to be in an energy surplus (you eat more than your body expends)
- To recomp (lose fat and gain muscle at the same time) you have to create an energy deficit and create enough stimulus for your body to know it needs to generate muscle (meaning you have to work out - the main driver for muscle growth is being discussed all the time, but basically mechanical tension and progressive overload are your safest bets)
- Eating enough protein is important for generating and retaining muscle mass. A general basic rule is eating 1,5 gr of protein per kg of body weight. Depending on genetics, activity levels and other (LESS IMPORTANT) factors, you might want to go up or down.
- Whey, casein and most vegan protein powders are not really supplements, they are food, you can think of them as milk powder (with a different macro nutrient composition). It is convenient and can help make sure you hit your target for protein consumption (they also tend to taste SUPER nice)
- Creatine is super safe (as safe as it gets really) and can help you with your appearance and with strength (it also helps your organs). Creatine is supplemented by taking 3gr to 5gr (a tiny scoop usually comes in the package for you to use) every day. Timing doesn't matter other than taking it every day. Some people might need more, or less. Creatine works through saturation, meaning your body will secrete whatever it doesn't use.
- Preworkouts are usually a waste of time. My advice to you is to eat an apple and have a coffee instead.
- Don't buy EAAs or BCAAs, they are a scam. Just make sure you are eating your protein target.
To answer your question: supplements don't determine whether you lose or gain weight, that's just the total energy (calorie) consumption. So, yes, if you consume a lot of food you don't need, and some of that food is protein powders, you will gain fat. Creatine won't have that effect, because it doesn't contribute any meaningful amount of energy, it just helps your body in creating something call ATP which is what your muscles need to generate work (move). It also draws water to your muscle cells, which gives you a more muscular and defined appearance (no bloating).
Anecdotally I can tell you guys I started taking creatine 7 years ago, I saw a very quick (3 weeks) increase in my strength, which was expected. I take protein powder every day (and have been for about 12 years) and I always sit somewhere between 68kg and 72kg, which is my desired weight. I don't track calories because I am a dad of 2 young children and I can't honestly choose my meals, but I recommend you track calories if you can fit it in your lifestyle. This is a very long comment, let me know if you have questions I might be able to answer.
This comment is 10000% right. forget about “will this product make me gain weight. “ weight matters but it’s all relative to your height, and fitness goals. Don’t get caught up with your weight on the scale, there are many other factors to look at when on your fitness journey. If you’re a beginner, I wouldn’t start taking supplements. Focus on your diet first, then your sleep, water intake, and then exercise. THEN you can worry about the weight on the scale and supplements.
Did you take it while breastfeeding? I know there’s not much research on nursing and creatine, but I wanted your input. Thanks!
Ya, this sounds risky for the development of a newborn. I can't help but think some creatine might pass through the milk in some form to the baby and affect their developing energy production system.
It’s hard to trust what she says because in her description, there’s a link to purchase products. I never trust what anyone says that selling products. They say what they have to say in order to make money. Would you trust that kind of person?
Judging by the hoodie and the buff chick in the back I think it's an ad for their creatine
Did you stop using it while breastfeeding? I’m breastfeeding now, and just starting to look into it.
My midwife said it was fine to breastfeed while on creatine. It’s naturally in your body already. I am currently still nursing my 19 month old and I’ve been on creatine our whole breastfeeding journey.
WHAT ABOUT HAIR LOSS THING? CAN SOMEBODY ANSWER PLEASE!!!
I have been using creatine for a long time, and I have the thickest set of hair out of my circle of friends that are in their 40s. I'm not sure why you think this is a side effect? Is there a medical journal some where?
czcams.com/users/shortsQpwaI20pm4U
Look it up. It has been disproven
Can I use creatine when I am breastfeeding? 🤔
Shouldn't be an issue but definitely research. It's just an amino acid found in protein, primarily red meats.
I tried taking creatine pills. I started getting heart populations and stopped. Is this a normal reaction? Why could this happen?
It kept me up for over 24hrs the first time I took it. It was horrible so I cut it down to half a scoop and was only getting 3/4hrs of sleep. I just stopped taking it after a week. Its not meant for some of us. 😒
@@erikazamarron4038your body naturally produces it lol
might be bad quality product with unwanted ingredients (ie heavy metals and other toxins from the production facility)
Do you take pre workout supplement as wel?
Any hair loss? I want to take it but I’m nervous as a female about hair thinning and loss.
I started taking creatine and protein supplements about 18months ago and if anything my hair seems to be getting thicker! I suspect that's more likely due to increasing my protein intake? But I've not noticed any negative side effects
You are so gorgeous
does it make you gain water weight? I hate feeling bloated.
It doesn't. People often attribute a bloating effect to it but that's almost exclusively a combination of nocebo effect (people feel that way because they anticipate they will feel bad) and poor hydration. If you start taking creatine, you'd be wise to up your water intake for about three weeks (a couple extra glasses of water a day is usually enough). Your body draws more water into the muscle cells (this is known as a volumising effect) while it becomes saturated with creatine, so the water has to come from somewhere. Many people feel bloated when dehydrated because their digestion slows down. The attributable side effects of creatine are truly rare. You already consume creatine when you eat animal products, so you'd most likely know if you were a genetic outlier that would struggle with it. Drawing water into your cells doesn't mean you will feel bloated or that you will be gaining water weight. Strictly speaking, yes - more water becomes part of your body. But that's the mechanism that your body uses to take advantage of the benefits of creatine. The result is not 'bloating', but a more muscular and better defined appearance, and improved work capacity through higher availability of ATP. And the beauty is you can always stop taking it.
@Julian B. Zacco Nievas thank you!! I drink more than 64 oz of water every day anyway. I have started taking it. Maybe I noticed a small difference so far. Only been on it a month. We'll see. I already have good muscle definition. Hoping to see more definition in my legs. I like the definition in my upper body as is. Trying to get my strength up just a bit more, getting older. I just think it's important to be as strong as you can be as you age. Strong muscles strong bones. Also noticed a bit of improvement in my endurance. 💪
@@monicastraub3372 Lovely to know you are doing well. Strength is pretty addictive, isn't it? Keep up the good work, strong friend. I too work out primarily for ageing as gracefully as I can.
@@brecheese812 just skip the loading phase
@@julianzacconievas So much useful knowledge that is well-explained. I wish you had a channel - thank you anyway.
When will creatine come back in stock 😊
How often you use creatine and how many grams ?
5g a day.
She’s tuff! Meaning a cool dime 🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏽👍🏽
Can you show us around the facility that make this creatine? Or does it come pre packaged from different country
Massage therapy post partum should be a covered benefit lol ahha it is SO amazingggg. Thankful I have insurance coverage for it ❤❤❤
Is your creatinine micronized ?
What type of creatine is it?
It's an unflavored Creatine Monohydrate from my company,
Buff Chick Supplements. Here's more information if you are interested. buffchick.com/products/creatine
@@Megsquats thanks for replying 🙏
@@MegsquatsCan us dudes take Buff Chick, or is it formulated for females?
@@afridgetoofar1818 it's just plain old boing creatine, with no mixed additives/chemicals
you mix it in water, chug it.
Monohydrate from China
I love crearine too
It's just water to your muscle more effectively.
But you’re an affiliate for this creatine brand so how do we know that it’s true? This is one of the downsides (there are many upsides for moms and others to be able to make money as affiliates) to the whole affiliate marketing concept.
And don’t talk about getting a massage like you should be guilty, girl. Self-care it’s important and you are a better mother then AND you are providing income to the massage therapist.
Massage is not bougie 😂
Not only is it not that , what white female over 30 uses this kind of language, one on the dumbest statements I heard in a long time
I don´t like Creatine because I looks bloated :( and I wanna looks lean and tone...
the water will go in your muscles dont worry for nothing
Causes hair loss for some, ill pass
That’s awesome
A person on this planet is literally paid to massage her body. My job sucks.
Hey, you should sell creatine!
That’s so dope🤍
So what does that mean? If you haven't noticed anything physically then what does her saying your muscle density is "so different" mean exactly? Isn't that just the increased water that creatine causes you to hold onto?
I took her comment as 'you look more jacked and I can tell'
As a massage therapist, I would take this to mean how - sometimes people's muscles feel squishier and sometimes they feel much harder/denser - and sometimes firmness density means that muscle is kind of overworked/dysfunctional and hurting them but sometimes people are just freaking ripped. 😂 So I always check in and ask if they're feeling pain in an area. But if you've been working on someone for a long time you can definitely notice changes like that - usually I just notice that with repeat sessions clients feel squishier and hopefully are experiencing less pain and more mobility.
I’ve been taking it for about three weeks and the best way I can think of to describe it is that my quads feel like water balloons. Maybe before they were half full and squishy and now they’re super full and firm. Very strange feeling but it looks good!
She said different. Not better. Creatine makes you hold water
You should have had a video with her saying it since you are promoting your brand. You missed out on an endorsement of a lifetime
Too bad its out!!😿💥
You realize that you can get creatine for 1/2 the price from a company that doesn’t advertise on CZcams right?
So, increased muscle density, or decreased?
I’m gonna take ‘things that never happened’ for 400 Alex
Haha great job disclosing the sponsorship
It's her company
CEO and Founder here. 💪🏻
Your body is better after the kid
More density, interesting.. 🤚🏻🦵🏻
Got a discount code? SUBTLE15?
I'm the owner of the company and very transparent about that 😉
Cap
🎉
Humble-bragging. 🤦♂️👎
Creatine causes hair loss in both men and women unless you want to be bald…. 😂😂😂
I'm noticing man-hands.
You worried about getting man handled? It's the internet I think you're safe from that bro
It's the fish-eye lens on the camera. Hands are closer and seem bigger. 🙄
Try anavar next
She doesn’t care for steroids
