Episode Details

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, the HOMeHOPe Faculty comes together for a roundtable conversation exploring the science and clinical application of creatine. Moving beyond its reputation as just a performance supplement for "gym bros," Boomer Anderson, Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Allen Bookatz, and Dr. Ted Achacoso break down how creatine functions as a critical cellular battery buffer.

Join us as we delve into:

• How creatine bypasses the "methylation tax" by saving the body from depleting SAMe reserves to produce energy.

• Why muscle is a metabolic determinant of resilience and not just a cosmetic feature.

• The evolutionary mismatch that increases our cellular energy demands due to a highly sympathetic, stressed lifestyle.

• The role of creatine in brain health is particularly important for supporting working memory, mitigating cognitive fatigue, and protecting against excitotoxicity.

This episode is for you if:

• You are curious about how to support your body's cellular energy and mitochondrial function.

• You follow a vegetarian or plant-based diet and want to understand your specific creatine supplementation needs.

• You want to understand the difference between maintaining muscle for aesthetic reasons versus metabolic health.

• You are looking for strategies to mitigate mental fatigue and sleep deprivation.
