Is This Right for Me? Creatine: Muscle, Brain, and Aging

Listen Later

Creatine is one of the most researched and most misunderstood compounds in the supplement aisle.


In this episode, Jeff walks through what the evidence actually says about creatine for muscle, brain health, aging, and women's health, and where the legitimate cautions sit.


Inside:

  • How phosphocreatine fuels muscle and brain cells
  • New 2024 and 2025 research on cognition and women's hormonal health
  • Sarcopenia, emerging Alzheimer's trials, and aging well
  • What to buy (creatine monohydrate, Creapure, NSF Certified) and what to skip
  • Why bipolar history, kidney disease, and chronic NSAID use matter

    • This episode is for anyone curious about creatine, women navigating perimenopause and menopause, and adults thinking ahead about strength and cognitive longevity.
