Rick talks fitness in 2025 and supplements with Patty Brewton.

As summer approaches, many people begin focusing more on their health, fitness, and wellness routines, often kick-starting their efforts to get in shape for the season. However, more than half of adults are unaware that supplements can play a key role in supporting their fitness regimen. Supplements like protein, creatine, and pre-workout can be helpful tools to enhance performance, build muscle, and support recovery—yet many people overlook how they can contribute to a healthy, balanced routine.
Understanding how these supplements can complement a fitness regimen and healthy diet can make a significant difference in achieving wellness goals.

Despite the buzz around these supplements 54% of adults under 49 either don’t know or are unsure of how much protein they should consume daily. It’s not just protein – only 38% are aware of the benefits of pre-workout supplements, and fewer than 30% understand the advantages of creatine.

Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach Patty Brewton is here to clear up the confusion. A former Division I collegiate swimmer with a degree in kinesiology, she guides people to train smarter by combining the right exercise, nutrition, and supplements.

Summer is just around the corner and with many people focused on getting in shape, how would you suggest our viewers enhance their fitness and wellness routines?
