Podcasts about Creatine

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Tommy Wood about how to protect and strengthen brain health across the lifespan—how overstimulation, chronic stress, and not giving your brain time to rest and recover undermines focus and productivity, and why restructuring your workday, prioritizing sleep, and building in real cognitive breaks can help you think more clearly and perform better. We discuss how the balance of stimulus, supply, and support shifts as we age, why retirement and prolonged illness can accelerate cognitive decline without ongoing challenge, and how physical activity, deep work, and continued learning help maintain function and even build “crystallized intelligence”—wisdom—later in life. We also get into genetic risk and why it’s largely a probability game where lifestyle can stack the deck in your favor; the powerful role of social connection and helping others in reducing dementia risk; how to use digital tools for real connection instead of passive consumption; and the cognitive effects of substances like nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, and stimulants. Dr. Tommy shares practical strategies—from structuring your day around focused work and restorative breaks to picking hobbies that challenge your brain—as well as simple ways to maintain cognitive function, extend the time you stay sharp, and lower the likelihood of decline over your life. TIMESTAMPS: Tommy Wood's new book explains the environmental impact on your brain health. [01:07] In adults over 40, dementia is the number one health concern. [07:21] Why haven't we done a better job of understanding the brain's neurological disease? [13:28] Studies have shown that an older adult learning a new language or musical instrument, experiences significant changes in the structure of the brain. [20:45] Failure is the primary driver of neuroplasticity. [21:35] If you do one of two activities such as attending lectures, writing, classes, volunteering, sports and such, you are best protected from dementia. [ 26:00] What are the three S's that are the key to long-term brain health and disease prevention? [29:08] Metabolic disease like high blood pressure is a significant risk factor for dementia. [35:13] People who are stressed usually don't give their brain time to recover. [36:03] Some people do have genetic influence and possibly have a higher risk that they can learn to work with. [38:33] It's estimated that 45 to 70 ish percent of dementias are preventable. [39:53] We can eliminate this accelerated decline that we are seeing around us by hitting the checkpoints like move, nourish, stimulate, connect and adapt. [47:06] The social connection is terribly important. [47:43] The areas of the brain that are most susceptible to decreases in function as we age, are the areas of the brain that are negatively impacted by being socially isolated. [51:27] What is the impact of the digital world that surrounds us? What about smoking and alcohol? [52:26] Marijuana use definitely has an effect on brain. [01:02:46] If someone only has a small amount of time to learn these things, what would be the tips you would give them?

If your workouts feel harder than they used to… If your recovery takes longer… If your brain feels foggier after a stressful day… You need to hear this. It's not about motivation. It's not about discipline. And it's not because you're "getting older." In this episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down a shift that almost no one explains to women: Estrogen stimulates creatine production. And when estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause, creatine can decline too. Creatine isn't just a gym supplement. It's critical for cellular energy. It helps recycle ATP, the fuel your muscles and brain run on. When ATP drops, strength, recovery, and mental clarity can shift with it. This conversation will change how you think about midlife performance. In this episode, you'll learn: What creatine actually does inside the female body Why creatine matters more after 40 The connection between estrogen, ATP, and muscle strength How creatine supports brain energy and stress resilience What the research says about safety and dosing Who should consider creatine, and who shouldn't How to support strength long term through physiology, not willpower If you're lifting heavier but building less muscle… If your brain feels slower under pressure… If you've been blaming yourself for feeling "off"… Bookmark this episode. Share it with a friend who's navigating perimenopause or menopause. Because when you understand your biology, you stop fighting your body.

AI is changing how shoppers discover products, and Amazon sellers need to pay attention now. In this episode, Scott breaks down the rise of AI-driven product discovery through tools like Amazon Rufus and ChatGPT, and explains why visibility in AI answers is becoming a new layer of competition for sellers. He unpacks Amazon's Cosmo framework, including the key product-understanding questions AI systems use to evaluate listings, and introduces SmartScout's new tools built for this shift: the Amazon AI Scorecard and the AI Visibility Monitor. Scott explains how the scorecard audits your listing content across bullets, A+ content, and images to measure how well your product answers AI-relevant questions. He also shows how the visibility monitor tracks how often your products appear in ChatGPT recommendations over time, even when AI responses are inconsistent. Scott also shares how sellers can improve AI visibility through better listing content, stronger online presence, and a more intentional long-term strategy for LLM discovery. If you want to know whether your brand is winning the AI visibility race in your category, this episode lays out the framework. Episode Notes: 02:00 - Amazon Rufus adoption and what it could mean for product discovery 03:10 - ChatGPT shopping behavior and why AI shopping queries still matter 04:06 - Why AI shopping accuracy is not perfect yet, but still important 04:34 - Amazon Cosmo and the product questions AI systems use to understand listings 07:00 - The shift from keyword-only thinking to AI-ready product content 07:32 - SmartScout's Amazon AI Scorecard and how it evaluates listing quality 08:10 - How the scorecard creates a feedback loop for continuous improvement 10:23 - SmartScout's AI Visibility Monitor and tracking LLM recommendation share 12:40 - Why ChatGPT results are non-deterministic and how visibility percentage helps 14:53 - Creatine example: measuring AI visibility by niche and query type 16:23 - How to improve AI visibility through listing content and off-Amazon signals 17:44 - Why this matters for sellers, brands, and teams in 2026   Related Post Top 10 Amazon FBA Reimbursement Services to Recover Your Funds   Scott's Links: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/scott-needham-a8b39813 X: @itsScottNeedham Instagram: @smartestseller YouTube: www.youtube.com/@smartestamazonseller2371 Newsletter: https://www.smartscout.com/newsletter-sign-up • • Blog: https://www.smartscout.com/blog

Do you love endurance training AND want to build muscle, but you've been told you have to pick one?The "cardio kills gains" claim has been around for decades, and if you're over 40, it can feel like an impossible tradeoff between the activities you enjoy and the strength training your body needs.However, the "interference effect" on hypertrophy is negligible when sessions are structured correctly, and adults over 40 might have an advantage.Philip breaks down the evidence-based programming rules that let you combine strength training and endurance without compromising either. You'll learn about the session timing strategy backed by research, why running and cycling create different types of interference, the specific protein and carbohydrate targets concurrent trainees need (especially after 40), and how to monitor recovery so you know when to push hard and when to back off. If you want to stay strong, fit, and healthy for decades through both lifting weights and endurance work, this is your roadmap.Shoutout to listeners Richard G. (60+, cyclist) and Gerwyn (56, runner and cyclist) who both asked how to optimally balance endurance sports with strength training and nutrition.Try the Fitness Lab app to get daily adaptive coaching that adjusts your strength training and endurance programming week to week based on your priorities and recovery.

Most men over 40 focus on lifting weights and dialing in their diet—but still overlook a major driver of long-term cardiovascular health.  In this episode, Ted speaks with Greg Mushen about why subsistence populations rarely develop heart disease, how walking influences glucose and lipid clearance, what genetics reveal about individual risk, and why daily movement may matter more than extreme workouts.  If the goal is to protect arteries, improve metabolic health, and age with resilience, this conversation offers a practical, research-driven framework worth listening to.  Today's Guest  Greg Mushen  Greg Mushen spent his career in tech but has maintained a lifelong interest in health, growing up in a medical family. He became deeply focused on longevity after becoming a father at 40, studying subsistence populations and examining how their lifestyle patterns map onto modern mechanisms of disease prevention.   Connect to Greg Mushen  X:  @gregmushen  Substack: Dark Lab  You'll learn:  Why walking throughout the day may improve glucose and lipid clearance more effectively than a single workout  What subsistence populations like the Tsimane and Maasai reveal about heart disease and arterial health  How genetic differences influence lipid clearance and cardiovascular risk   The concept of "flux" and why matching intake with output is critical for metabolic health  And much more....   What Ted and Greg discuss:  (00:00) Introduction  (03:55) Meet Greg Mushen: From Zone 2 to 15K Steps (Why Walking?)  (07:28) Walking for Nutrient Partitioning, Glucose Control & Mitochondria  (15:25) The Amish "Natural Experiment" + Clearance Genes   (18:48) Genetics Meets Lifestyle: APOE4, Saturated Fat, and Personal Risk  (24:58) Diet vs Movement in Context: Maasai vs Tsimane and the 'Flux' Framework  (35:35) Athletes, High CAC Scores & Why Risk Can Still Be Low  (36:58) From Tech to Primary Research: How Greg Learned to Read Studies  (46:49) Calories, Appetite & Why Tracking Still Works (Even If You Hate It)  (57:23) Genetics, Methylation & Targeted Supplements (B12, Folate, Creatine, TMG)  (01:05:18) Final Thought 

Creatine has been a staple in the gym bag for decades. But is it just for bodybuilders chasing one more rep, or does it have something to say about sleep, brain energy, and resilience in a sleep deprived world? In this episode we will:Break down what creatine actually is and how it works at the cellular level as a rapid energy buffer for muscle and brainExplore why athletes swear by it, what the data really shows about strength and performanceLearn why creatine monohydrate remains the gold standard despite the marketing of newer formsReview data about brain energy, sleep pressure, and whether creatine helps when the system is under stressTackle broader health claims of mood/depression, aging, cognition, and the often misunderstood relationship between creatine and kidney functionTouch upon creatine and hair lossReview best creatine practices and warnings about its useOriginal intro music Vigilanteology by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026) Original outro music Vigilanteology (reprise) by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026)Produced by: Maeve Winter Music by: Dr. Abhinav Singh (@sleep_vigilante), all rights reserved More Twitter: @drchriswinter IG: @drchriwinter Threads: @drchriswinter Bluesky: @drchriswinter The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child Thanks for listening and sleep well!

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable episode, Chase and Chris answer your biggest questions about some of the most talked about health trends right now.They start by breaking down injectable peptides. What are they? Do they actually work? And are they safe? While peptides are being pushed hard online, there is very little long term research in healthy humans. Many are not FDA approved and can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars per month. Chase and Chris explain why most people should focus on sleep, strength training, nutrition, and stress management before even thinking about something like this.Next, they talk about hack squat foot placement. There is no single “best” position. Your foot placement changes which muscles are emphasized. Higher feet can target more glutes and hamstrings. Lower feet can target more quads. The best setup is the one that fits your goals and feels good on your body.They also cover ginger and turmeric shots. While these ingredients may help with inflammation, they are not magic. If your diet, stress, and sleep are out of control, a small wellness shot will not fix that. The basics still matter most.Finally, they answer several questions about creatine. They explain why weight gain from creatine is just water inside your muscles, not fat. They talk about how long it takes to work, when to take it, and whether it is safe for your kidneys. Creatine is one of the most researched supplements available and can help with strength, muscle retention, brain health, and even bone health.The big message of this episode is simple. Stop chasing trends. Master the fundamentals first.Chapters(00:00) Pink Webcam Problems and Opening Banter(02:00) What Are Injectable Peptides and Are They Worth It?(10:30) The Cost, Risks, and Lack of Research Behind Peptides(13:40) Best Foot Placement for the Hack Squat(18:45) Are Ginger and Turmeric Shots Actually Effective?(23:30) Creatine Water Weight Explained(25:00) How Long Creatine Takes to Work(27:00) Best Time to Take Creatine and How to Use It(29:00) Is Creatine Safe?

In this episode, Chris breaks down whether timing your creatine actually makes a difference. You'll learn what the research says, why consistency matters more than timing, and the simple approach Chris uses to make sure he never misses a dose. If you've been overthinking when to take your supplements, this episode will help you simplify things.

Creatine isn't just for bodybuilders anymore. In this episode, we break down what creatine actually does in the body — and why researchers are now studying it for brain health, muscle preservation, and healthy aging. You'll hear about typical dosing (3–5 grams daily), what we know about safety, and what the latest research shows in older adults — including a small pilot study in Alzheimer's patients using higher doses that increased brain creatine levels by about 10%. But does that mean everyone should take it? Not so fast. We'll walk through who might benefit, who should be cautious, and how to think about supplementation through a lifestyle medicine lens. If you're navigating midlife changes, muscle loss, brain fog, or just trying to age with strength and clarity, this episode will help you make an informed decision. Because supplements should support a healthy foundation — not replace one. Resources: Keep Your Brain Sharp Get every episode in your inbox Browse more episodes

Is brain fog getting worse in menopause? Trying to lose weight but nothing works anymore? This episode explores new research on creatine and cognition — and why willpower isn’t the real reason weight loss stalls. Here’s what we cover: A new 8-week randomised controlled trial on creatine in peri- and menopausal women What actually improved: memory, mental fatigue and cognitive performance Why women may store less creatine than men Whether all forms of creatine are equal Plus: CSIRO data from 78,000 Australians shows why structured meal planning leads to more weight loss Why willpower fails when planning is absent The psychology behind “starting again Monday” We also review the new Cobs Popcorn Bars — are they really a healthy lunchbox option? And we answer a listener question: why are your measurements dropping but not the scale? Leanne and Susie are dietitians and co-founders of Designed by Dietitians. As always, the discussion is evidence-led and practical.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I'm eating exactly the same way I always have, but I'm gaining weight." If this sounds like you, you aren't alone—and you aren't broken. In this episode, Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with registered dietitian Gretchen Spetz to explain why the traditional "calories in, calories out" model fails women in perimenopause and menopause.As estradiol declines, our bodies undergo a profound physiological shift. Our basal metabolic rate can drop by up to 300 calories, our "fullness" hormones become less sensitive, and our cells become more resistant to insulin. The result? Frustration, fatigue, and the "midsection creep" that seems to happen overnight.Gretchen Spetz is a registered dietitian who specializes in integrative and functional nutrition. She joins the show to provide a "food-first" roadmap to navigating these changes. We move past the grim statistics to focus on the silver lining: the specific tweaks you can make today to outsmart your biology.In this episode, we discuss: The 300-Calorie Gap: Why your metabolic rate shifts and how declining muscle mass is the primary culprit. The Satiety Struggle: Why you might feel hungry all the time and how to trigger your "fullness" hormones (GLP-1 and CCK) naturally through your diet. Insulin Resistance 101: The "Taxi Cab" analogy for blood sugar and how to avoid the mid-afternoon energy crash. Muscle-Centric Nutrition: Why 30g of protein per meal is the "magic number" for stimulating muscle protein synthesis and protecting your bones. The Fiber "Pick Two" Rule: How to hit your 25g daily fiber goal to lower chronic inflammation and support gut health. Creatine & Supplements: Why creatine is no longer just for bodybuilders and how it can help women with brain fog and strength. The "Soil Quality" Reality: How modern farming impacts the nutrients in your vegetables and how to source the best produce.About Our Guest:Gretchen Spetz, MS, RDN, LD, IFNCP, is the founder of The Functional Kitchen. She uses a functional medicine approach to help women in midlife address the root causes of chronic disease and weight management through nutrition and lifestyle.Connect with Gretchen: Website: gretchenspetzrd.com Free Guide: Protein & Fiber First Guide Instagram: @gretchenspetzrd

Most people think creatine only affects muscle strength and performance. But what if creatine also plays a role inside fat cells themselves—and could subtly influence fat loss and body recomposition? In this episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa Spina I recaps the key takeaways from the interview with Dr. Scott Forbes, focusing on fat loss, body recomposition, muscle preservation, protein intake, creatine supplementation, sleep, and aging. This episode breaks down brand new research on how different training modalities, recovery, and evidence-based supplements influence fat loss and body composition—and why scale weight alone is a poor marker of fat loss success.

Melissa helps us break down the brilliant decision to make Lisa Rinna, Candiace Dillard and Rob Rausch traitors.

Monique Samuels steps Behind The Rope. Monique is here to chat about ALL of the drama that went down during her time on RHOP, how she moved on with her life and the highs and lows of being part of The Real Housewives franchise. Monique talks about Producer “involvement” in RHOP, real versus manipulated storylines and her epic, now iconic, reunion binder. Monique dishes on Wendy, Karen, Gizelle, Ashley and Candiace. Speaking of that epic binder, Monique opens up about the exact moment she realized leaving RHOP was the right decision. Yes people, she is back! Mo talks Chris Samuels, Andy Cohen's favoritism and the difference between quitting Housewives and being fired.  Last, but certainly not least, we pay homage to the one, the only, best Pet in the history of Bravo TV, Mr. T'Challa Samuels. @mrsmoniquesamuels @tchallasamuels @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MERIT BEAUTY - meritbeauty.com (Get Your Free Signature Makeup Bag w/ Your First Order) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) MOMENTOUS - livemomentous.com (Use Code VELVET For 35% Off Your First Order on Creatine, Protein, Omega-3 Or Any Momentous Products) GROW THERAPY - GrowTherapy.com/VELVET (Whatever Challenges You're Facing, Grow Therapy Is Here To Help) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
