0:00 I have come across so many patients who tell me that a 55 or a 60-year-old doctor and there's nothing against senior doctors have told me that protein supplement artifici hello and welcome to the kid stop press podcast today on season 4 we welcoming our first dad of the Season he's all of five months old in the parenting Journey he's a debutant author he's also a health Creator and an

0:30 orthopedic surgeon we're talking of none other than Dr Manan Bora who is also a health educator co-founder of the NRI bide Wellness he is also a PhD scholar in regenerative Orthopedics and has been recognized with multiple Awards including the prestigious Edinburgh surgery Global scholar award when he's not treating joint pains he's seen as creating some really informative and educational content on his Instagram handle which bothast of followers of

1:00 upwards of 400k so let's welcome Dr Manan Bora you you said a very important thing about supplementation and I feel sometimes it's very tricky because your doctor doesn't know what your goals for yourself are so how are they going to guide you for supplementation like they will do the blood routine and be like okay D3 is okay B12 okay this routine seems okay but they don't know what your goals are and I see so many people

1:28 mentioning oh you must take CR in for this and you know your if your aim is this this this tell me what's on your supplement stash okay so you mentioned doctor and I'm going to go out uh you know openly and even say this I think very few doctors know enough about all the supplements that are out there right and I think we need to accept this as uh you know a flaw or or a limitation

1:52 that's a better word to use because while we are taught about vitamin and mineral uh deficiencies in our Medical School we're not we're not talking too much about protein supplementation creatine supplementation and all the other nutritional ones that coming which probably the nutritionists are also very good at now unless a doctor is in the knowhow or has read beyond what medical school taught us and is actually up to date with everything they will most likely not have a good opinion on this I

2:21 have come across so many patients who tell me that a 55 or a 60-year old doctor and there's nothing against senior doctors have told me that yeah protein supplement artificial now protein supplements are absolutely natural the protein powder that you consume is absolutely natural breast milk has way protein if breast milk has way protein why are you telling a patient not to have protein powder because it's way so doctors many of them don't even know the entire filtration

2:50 process how way protein is done because it's not something that we're taught I don't blame them but they'll have a standard line because somewhere they've heard from someone and they are also following the myth that protein supplementation is harmful creatine creatine are you a professional athlete so many doctors actually think that creatine is a ban substance yeah they don't even know that creatine supplementation is excellent for mental cognitive Health it is excellent for your brain health also and excellent for

3:16 athletic performance and output absolutely safe to take so actually in fact I've covered at least 10 supplements in my book and I hope doctors read this also because even though the book is completely addressed to the Common Man there is so much information out there that even doctors may not have known in fact I'll be open and say that out of 101 there were five or six myths that even I it's not that I thought they were myths but I got to

3:37 learn so much more when I did research about them even I didn't have answers to all 101 so that's how uh vast the topics are but coming to my supplement stash whe protein for sure I'm a veg plus egg eater it's very difficult for me to hit my protein goals if I'm not eating meat but it's not impossible but I choose to consume way protein because there's only so much paner tofu that I can consume there's only so much I can have

4:01 throughout the day and based on my weight and the and the goals that I want to hit I need way protein second creatine monohydrate I do not go without 5 G of creatine monohydrate and this is the most researched supplement in the world and I know doctors or health content creators sometimes leave a disclaimer that consult your doctor or nutritionist before taking this supplement I can say with confidence every human listening to this irrespective of your age

4:30 uh adults should be on 5 G of creatine monohydrate every day till the day they die mhm even if you are 85 even if you are 45 even if you are 25 even if you are a man even if you are a woman anyone even if you are exercising even if you're not exercising and it is not an expensive supplement 5 G creatine monohydrate every day I'll say this for this one supplement please consume it so

4:54 that's creating monid when it comes third I think Omega 3 100% big yes for me uh and again something everyone can consume because it's very difficult even for a non-v eater to say that I'm having it sea food that I'm getting all the omega-3 that my body requires in a day so these are three that I think are non-negotiable and you don't really require a doctor's prescription for apart from them based on my dietary preferences my goals I also take

5:21 magnesium uh I also take a vitamin D3 and K2 uh but yeah these are probably the five common ones sometimes maybe a vitamin B I'll add because again with vegetarians your vitamin B B12 B6 not going to be that high but I'm not that regular with it but these are the five that I consume uh personally uh the first three definitely everyone can consume the others based on your requirements based on if it's if it's something you need to take right and any

5:47 recommended timing that you would recommend I feel like everybody talks about the supplement nobody talks about the right time to take it cor correct so when it comes to way protein and creatine these are more about your body's daily intake you can take them any time there's a huge Fitness thing that oh my Godin sh like there's actually people who will not even wait to go home and have their protein powder because so they'll carry the Shaker they'll add the

6:12 water outside the gym and have it because someone's told them that for maximum efficiency within 10 to 15 minutes have your of protein powder there's no such thing as long as you're getting the amount of proteins during the day yes I do agree there is some logic to having it after a workout because your body needs a good source of protein post your workout but whether you have four eggs or whether you have paneer or whether you have V protein

6:32 your body is still getting the protein you don't need to have it just 10 to 15 minutes later so protein and creatine throughout the day whenever you want uh when it comes to omega-3 you should generally have it with a meal that has a decent amount of fat so generally your lunch or dinner will have some fats obviously you will not have only a protein and carbage thing so post lunch or post dinner usually post lunch is

6:52 when people have omega-3 when it comes to your fat soluble vitamins like vitamin D generally had after a good breakfast and when it comes to Vitamin B and those are water soluble you have it before food so this is roughly the time when you'll consume them right parenting tips celebrity interviews recipes conversations with experts DIYs and lots more subscribe to kidstop press now
