About this episode

In this powerful educational episode, Vanessa sits down with Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, CEO and Co-Founder of Puori, for an in-depth masterclass on the supplements most overlooked—yet most transformative—for women’s health: creatine and omega-3s.

Drawing on the latest scientific research and insights from world-leading muscle and metabolism experts, Vanessa and Oliver unpack:

✅ Why creatine is a foundational supplement for women—supporting fat loss, body recomposition, muscle preservation, and cognition

✅ How creatine protects metabolism and lean mass during fat loss

✅ The truth about “water retention” and bloating myths

✅ How creatine supports menopause, bone density, and strength across the lifespan

✅ The emerging research on brain and mood benefits of creatine

✅ Why omega-3s are critical for inflammation, recovery, metabolic health, and brain function

✅ How creatine and omega-3s synergize for performance and longevity

Then, in the final third of the conversation, they address one of the most pressing issues in the supplement industry today: purity and contamination.

Vanessa and Oliver discuss:

⚠️ Why heavy metals like lead have been found in popular protein powders and prenatal vitamins

⚠️ What “safe levels” actually mean

⚠️ How consumers can protect themselves by choosing transparent, third-party tested products

✅ How Puori leads the industry with Clean Label Project certification, testing for over 200 contaminants, and QR codes that let you view your batch’s lab results instantly

This episode is a must-listen for women who want to take their health, fat loss, and longevity to the next level—using the cleanest, most evidence-based supplements available.
