Deep dives
Benefits of Taking Creatine with L-Carnitine Tartrate
Taking creatine with L-carnitine tartrate has been shown to enhance creatine absorption and activate the mTOR pathway. It can be slightly more effective than taking creatine alone. This combination is found in supplements like the Mind Pump Recharge.
Reduced Response to Creatine: Exploring Non-Responders
Some individuals may not respond to creatine supplementation, possibly due to genetic factors or being slow-twitch muscle fiber dominant. They may benefit from trying creatine with L-carnitine tartrate and adding sodium for enhanced absorption.
The impact of intense therapy sessions on cravings
After intense therapy sessions, the speaker experiences overwhelming cravings for carbs, specifically gummy bears. This is a result of seeking comfort and relief from the intense emotional energy in the room during those sessions. The cravings do not appear to be related to glucose levels or physiological issues. Instead, they stem from a desire for a temporary break and reprieve. To address this, the speaker can try finding substitutes that provide a sense of relief, such as meditation, stretching, listening to music, or going outside. It may take time and practice to develop a new relationship with these techniques, but they can offer a healthier alternative to the current craving for gummy bears. Additionally, practicing self-compassion and recognizing the intense work being done can help alleviate the need for immediate relief through food.
