Urolithin A, Mitochondrial Health, and Nutrition for Pro Athletes
|
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Emily Werner, PhD, RD, CSSD, IFNCP — team dietitian for the Philadelphia 76ers (NBA) and Philadelphia Flyers (NHL), and Nutrition Affairs Sport Lead at Timeline. We dig into postbiotics, urolithin A, and why mitochondrial health matters for pro athletes and everyday people alike. Emily walks through the real research behind Timeline's Mitopure, how she navigates athlete psychology and supplement fads on the sidelines of pro sports, and why chasing $200K wellness gadgets rarely beats getting the fundamentals right.

Here's what went down this week: Newsletters: Top 5 Creatine Myths (full PDF): Busting the biggest creatine myths the internet keeps...
A few of you hit reply after yesterday’s creatine email with basically the same question: “Okay Dr Mike, what creatine do YOU use?” Easy. Creatine monohydrate from Driven Nutrition. I’ve used the same stuff for almost 12 years. Twelve. Years. Which is roughly 874 years in supplement-industry dog years where every six months somebody discovers a NEW ULTRA-BOLIC CREATINE that apparently makes boring old monohydrate look like it arrived on the Mayflower. Yet there it sits on my shelf. Creatine...
Every few years the internet tries to bury the supplement creatine under kidney panic, hair-loss hysteria, dehydration warnings, or some new rule handed down from a guy named Chad between his 7th sets of cable crossovers.

(p. 2) • Why your doctor may see elevated creatinine and reach for the wrong...
