In episode 18 of the Anti-Aging Lifestyle I give an overview of my favorite fat burning supplements, from an effectiveness and safety standpoint. What is tried and true? How should you view supplements in your overall quest for a leaner and healthier body? All this and more!

Some highlights from the episode:

Supplement Industry: How do I view the supplement industry as a whole?

Examples of Supplement Dangers: We review why ephedra/ephedrine and bitter orange supplements were effective and also why they were so dangerous.

My Top 4 Fat Burners:

Green Tea: The power of EGCG, fat loss, anti-inflammatory, cancer fighting, and more.

L-Carnitine: Non-stimulant fat burner. How L-Carnitine helps your body break down more fat for energy and in turn, preserve your muscle and energy stores.

Creatine: How creapure creatine monohydrate can boost your body’s ability to recover, burn body fat, and increase endurance.

Caffeine: The power of caffeine to temporarily boost your alertness and metabolism.

Ineffective Yet Popular:

Garcinia Cambogia Extract: Made popular by Dr. Oz. Suppose to help inhibit fat producing enzymes but effectiveness is very marginal in animal studies.

Raspberry Ketones: Also made hugely popular by Dr. Oz. Suppose to help breakdown fat cells but marginal effectiveness only in extremely high dose animal studies.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): Suppose to help stimulate the breakdown of body fat and reduce appetite. But effects are very slight and may cause increased inflammation and promote insulin resistance.

Placebo Effect: Is real and can be an effective tool to use. If you have an event you are preparing for, you can stagger your supplement stack to create training milestones of fat loss to increase your motivation and workout intensity.

Water is King: If you are at all dehydrated (most people are), water is the king of all supplements you can take. Increased fat burn, metabolism, energy and recovery. No side effects.

I finish the episode with Tomko Tip #18 where I talk about why it’s so important not to let random people and their opinions, derail you from pursing your passions and dreams.
