Creatine! Collagen! Cortisol! with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple
Creatine! Collagen! Cortisol! with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple
SHOW NOTES
Metabolism “broken”? Cortisol through the roof? Syncing your workouts with your menstrual cycle like it’s a lunar ritual? Let’s unpack the madness.
Welcome to the 2025 Fitness Complex—where the marketing is louder than the science and your confusion is the business model.
Lauren Colenso-Semple, certified slayer of fear-based wellness B.S., is here to cut through the collagen powders and influencer jargon and serve up some actual facts.
Keep calm and remember the six C’s: Credentials, Consensus, Conflict of Interest, Common Sense, Confirmation Bias, and Communication Style.
Still clinging to creatine? It's not a magic potion, so stop prioritizing it over your other healthy routines.
Worried menopause is stealing your muscle? Blame aging, not your hormones. Resistance training is the only thing that fights back.
Cycle syncing? Honestly, it’s just a socially acceptable way to ghost your workout routine. And inconsistency is the real hormonal chaos.
Supplements and biohacks won’t save you. Showing up and doing the work will.
No one wants to hear they have to work harder… but sorry, that’s still the truth.
Whatever physical activity you actually like? Do that. And then do it again.
The myths, the shady sales pitches, the body-obsessed bait—tune it out.
And as Lauren wisely says… stay safe out there.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
Feeling personally victimized by the pseudo-health industry? It's time to seek personally individualized real health and fitness plans…NOT the one-size-fits-all magical fixes. Did we bust some myths you’ve fallen for? Let me know on Insta!
