Today,  I sit down with Dr. Nick Fabiano, MD, a resident psychiatrist, to explore the powerful connection between creatine supplementation and depression. We dive deep into current scientific evidence discussing how creatine, typically known for its athletic performance benefits, might significantly improve mental health and depressive symptoms. 

Dr. Fabiano provides an overview of how creatine impacts brain chemistry, energy metabolism, and mood regulation. Whether you're a clinician looking for novel therapeutic approaches, someone battling depressive symptoms, or simply interested in cutting-edge mental health research, this episode offers valuable insights. Don't miss this fascinating conversation on creatine's potential role in mental health!
