This episode discusses the benefits of creatine for muscle recovery and cognitive enhancement as we age.

As we age our muscle mass and cognition declines. There is a supplement to help with this and it's called creatine. There are many benefits of creatine -helps with muscle recovery -enhances focus -energy production -protects against brain neurodegenerative diseases -and so much more! In this episode, I share what creatine is, how to use it, who it's good for, when to take it, how much. This supplement is the most studied with more than 66,000 studies.
