In this episode, I reveal how creatine isn’t just for building muscle—it’s a game-changer for brain health, mood, and healthy aging. Think of your brain like a firefighter with an oxygen tank—without enough energy, it can’t function at its best. That’s where creatine steps in as your body’s natural “battery pack,” fueling every single cell, especially in the brain.

Even though the brain makes up only 2% of your body weight, it burns about 20% of your energy—and creatine is key to keeping that system running smoothly. I’ll break down the science in simple terms and show you why creatine for mental clarity, cognitive performance, and longevity might be one of the most overlooked tools in your health routine.

If you’ve only thought of creatine as a supplement for athletes, this episode will change your perspective.
