348 // Q&A: Creatine, Collagen, Carbs + Fiber

In this Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast episode, host and Nutrition Coach Nicole Hagen answers several of your nutrition questions - covering everything from creatine and collagen to carbohydrates, fiber supplements, and even whether pickles count as vegetables.

Throughout this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements available

  • What collagen supplements can and can’t realistically do

  • Why eating two slices of bread at a meal isn’t something you need to fear

  • Whether pickles actually count toward your vegetable intake

  • How fiber supplements can be used to support fiber goals (and how they can’t)

  • How to evaluate nutrition advice through a practical, evidence-based lens

If you’ve ever felt confused by supplement marketing, wondered whether certain foods are “too many carbs,” or questioned whether you should be adding another powder or capsule to your routine, this episode will help you better understand what’s worth your time, money, and energy and what likely isn’t.

Nicole Hagen

A Nutrition Coach, adoptive mom, dog mom, and mint chocolate chip ice cream lover.

I didn’t always have this business: the Masters degree in Nutrition Science and Public Health, the passion, the clients... in fact, years ago you could have found me endlessly counting calories and trying to find my worth on the scale and at spin class, exhausted in my pursuit of (what I thought was) health and happiness.

In my early twenties, I struggled with crash dieting and disordered eating. Little did I know, those circumstances would be my one-way ticket out of my restrictive relationship with food & fitness. Those experiences led me here: to the life-giving, sustainable, habit-based nutrition philosophy I embody today. Today you can find me living life without a calorie counting app and spending time with my husband, one year old son, and our two crazy golden retriever pups.

I enjoy spending my free time reading, sipping on matcha lattes, and dreaming of ways I can help other women create healthy, confident relationships with food without selling their souls to food rules and calorie counting apps.

Because nothing lights me up more than helping women live full and vibrant lives without food fear, rules, or restriction. I want to be that permission granter in your life that whispers: “you really can do this” while the rest of the world continues to settle for short-term satisfaction.
