Episode 15 – Why I Love Creatine (And Why You Might Too)
Creatine is one of the most researched and trusted supplements in the world — but it’s still surrounded by myths and confusion. In this episode, I share why creatine became a staple in my fitness routine, from boosting strength and endurance to supporting brain health and recovery.
We’ll explore:
- What creatine actually is and how it works in your body
- Its benefits beyond the gym — including potential cognitive perks
- Common misconceptions and how to avoid them
- How to choose the right type and dose for your goals
Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just someone curious about healthy aging, you might find creatine is more useful than you think.
