Unlocking Brain Power: How Creatine Fuels Your Mind

In this episode of Decoding Health, we explore the powerful and often overlooked benefits of creatine beyond muscle performance. While it's long been a staple for athletes looking to enhance strength and explosive movement, new research highlights creatine’s critical role in brain health and cognitive function. By fueling mitochondria and supporting ATP production across all cell types—including neurons—creatine may help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. The episode breaks down how just 5 grams a day can support energy metabolism in the brain, why women may especially benefit due to hormonal and metabolic differences, and how factors like obesity, genetics (such as APOE4), and overall lifestyle intersect with brain aging. Whether you're looking to enhance physical performance or safeguard long-term mental clarity, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in biohacking their health from the inside out.
