Listen Later

Mikki dives into the evolving science behind creatine—not just for muscles, but for brain health. Long known as a powerhouse for strength and performance, creatine is now gaining traction as a potential tool for cognitive enhancement and mental health support. Miki explores recent research shared by Dr. Nicholas Fabiano on creatine’s potential role in improving outcomes in Alzheimer’s, depression, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). She explains how higher doses may be required to impact brain creatine levels and discusses key findings around mood, cognition, and neurological recovery. Whether you're already taking creatine or considering it, this episode will broaden your understanding of how it could support not just your workouts, but your mental clarity and emotional well-being too.
Highlights:

  • Why creatine may support brain energy metabolism and cognitive function
  • Evidence for creatine’s role in depression and SSRI-resistant cases
  • High-dose creatine and its potential benefits in Alzheimer's and TBI recovery
  • Differences in creatine needs between men and women
  • Safety considerations and dosing strategies for brain health
