EXPLAINER: Does Creatine Cause Cancer? What the Science Actually Says

Creatine causes cancer to spread — that headline is built on a real mouse study. But what does the human data actually say? In this solo explainer, Dr. Robert Lufkin breaks down both halves of the science behind the most studied supplement on the planet.He walks through the 2021 mouse metastasis study behind the viral claim, the surprising evidence that creatine actually powers the immune cells that HUNT cancer (CD8 T cells and, per new UCLA research, dendritic cells), and what the human data — HCAs, NHANES, and the 2025 safety review — really shows. The verdict is more nuanced, and more reassuring, than the headline suggests.Chapters:00:00 — Introduction00:46 — Why This Question Exists01:32 — The Scary Half (2021 Study)02:17 — How Creatine Fuels Tumor Spread03:03 — Creatine Fights Cancer Too03:48 — UCLA June 2026 Dendritic Cells04:35 — Tumor Suppressor or Fuel?05:21 — What Human Data Shows (HCAs)06:08 — NHANES & 2025 Safety Review06:55 — The Honest Caveat07:42 — The TakeawayKey takeaways:The scary headline comes from a 2021 mouse study where dietary creatine promoted metastasis via the MPS1 → SMAD2/3 → TGF-beta pathway — in mice with established, aggressive tumors.The same metabolism fuels your immune system: creatine is essential for CD8 "killer" T cells and the dendritic cells that direct them.In a controlled human trial, creatine did NOT drive carcinogen (HCA) formation.NHANES population data links higher dietary creatine to LOWER cancer risk, and the 2025 safety review calls the human cancer-risk claim "not substantiated."Healthy adults: the human evidence does not support avoiding creatine. Active or metastatic cancer: pause and talk to your oncologist. Always choose third-party tested creatine monohydrate.Studies & sources:Zhang et al., Cell Metabolism 2021 — Creatine promotes cancer metastasis via Smad2/3Geng et al., Int. J. Mol.

June is World Infertility Awareness Month, a month dedicated to the one in six couples worldwide who are quietly navigating the heartbreak, questions, and uncertainty that go along with the fertility journey. A short while ago, I had the privilege of launching my book, Your Fertility Blueprint. That day, I gave a presentation where I shared everything I wish I had known earlier in my own journey, including the framework that can change how we understand fertility, the hope that often gets lost along the way, and the truth that you are far more than your unexplained infertility diagnosis. I truly believe that something unexplained is simply something uninvestigated. In honour of Infertility Awareness Month, I'm sharing that presentation with you today. Whether you're in the thick of it yourself, supporting someone who is, or you simply want to understand the infertility experience better, this episode is for you.

She co-founded Your Longevity Blueprint Nutraceuticals with her husband, Eric. After her own ten-year fertility journey, she now specializes in helping couples optimize reproductive health through functional medicine. Having lost her grandmother to vascular dementia, she is personally committed to helping families avoid cognitive decline. Dr. Gray founded the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic in Hiawatha, Iowa. In this episode: I describe my 10-year journey of trying to conceive, including testing, treatments, IUIs, IVF, failed transfers, and my emotional struggle  How, even as a nurse practitioner with a doctorate in functional medicine and over 15 years of clinical experience, I still struggled with infertility Why I believe unexplained infertility is simply uninvestigated infertility I outline six major factors that contributed to my infertility, explaining why they needed to be addressed together, not in isolation How the functional and integrative medicine approaches differ from those of conventional medicine I highlight the windows for egg and sperm development and explain how changes made during that time can improve egg and sperm quality The combination of conventional and functional medicine treatments I used, which ultimately led to the birth of my sons Links and Resources: Interested in purchasing Your Fertility Blueprint or watching the full book launch presentation?

EXPLAINER: Sleep Isn't For Muscle Repair — Here's What It's Actually For

Forget muscle repair. The reason sleep actually transforms your health is happening inside your skull every night — and it's not what Matthew Walker's TED Talk made famous. In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD breaks down the real science of sleep: the glymphatic system that flushes beta-amyloid from your brain, the hippocampal "sharp wave ripples" that lock in memories, the slow-wave growth hormone pulse you can't make up, and the testosterone and insulin damage that happens in a single week of short sleep. He closes with the single most evidence-based intervention you can do tonight — and it's not melatonin. CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Why The "Sleep For Muscle Repair" Story Is Wrong 01:00 — Part 1: The Muscle Repair Myth (mTOR, Protein Synthesis, 24–48hr Window) 02:00 — Part 2: The Molecular Truth — The Glymphatic System 02:35 — The 60% Brain Cleaning Cycle (Xie 2013, Beta-Amyloid Clearance) 03:30 — Sharp Wave Ripples and Memory Consolidation in Deep Sleep 03:55 — How Sleep Onset Drives 70% of Your Nightly Growth Hormone 04:30 — Sleep Restriction Drops Testosterone 10–15% in One Week 05:00 — Part 3: The Hormonal Layer — Insulin, Cortisol, Ghrelin 05:15 — 4 Nights, 4 Hours: Prediabetes In Healthy Young Men (Spiegel 1999) 06:30 — Ghrelin, Leptin, and Why You Wake Up Hungrier 07:00 — Part 4: The Practical Tactic — Thermal Regulation 07:30 — The 2–3°F Core Temperature Drop That Triggers Sleep 08:00 — Why a Hot Shower 90 Minutes Before Bed Beats Melatonin 08:45 — The 65–68°F Bedroom Rule 09:15 — Part 5: The Reframe — Sleep Is Neurological, Not Muscular KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Muscle protein synthesis runs 24–48 hours post-workout and does not require sleep architecture — it requires amino acids, energy, and time. • During sleep, your brain's interstitial space expands ~60% to flush metabolic waste, including the beta-amyloid and tau proteins implicated in Alzheimer's. • ~70% of your daily growth hormone is released in the first slow-wave cycle — disrupt the first 90 minutes and you blunt the whole night. • Four nights of 4-hour sleep produced prediabetes-level insulin resistance in healthy young men (Spiegel et al., Lancet 1999). • A hot bath or shower 60–90 minutes before bed shortens sleep latency more reliably than melatonin (Haghayegh et al., Sleep Medicine Reviews 2019). Pair with a 65–68°F bedroom.

A newly qualified doctor Charlotte Buttercase, has said she was subjected to repeated sexual harassment and intimidation while studying medicine at the University of Manchester. 32 other female students have now come forward to report similar abuse. Charlotte tells Nuala McGovern why she has waived her right to anonymity and written an open letter to the university to request a formal review of sexism within the School of Medical Sciences. More than 1000 women have added their signatures. Sprinter Hannah Brier holds the Welsh 100m record, and last week became the fastest Welsh woman of all time. She broke her country's long-standing 200m record running it at 22.79 seconds at the Stratford Speed Grand Prix in London. But that time was just a few days after the Team Wales deadline for selection for this summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She explains to Nuala how missing out on the chance to compete at the games pushed her to prove herself all over again. Is Marilyn Monroe still a name that needs no introduction? Fans were marking her 100th birthday yesterday so we ask why her legacy still endures almost 64 years after her death and what she means to women today. Nuala is joined by Ellen E Jones, a film critic and the presenter of a new radio documentary on BBC Sounds called 'Bombshell: Five Faces of Marilyn Monroe', and Sarah Churchwell, professor of American Literature at the University of London and the author of 'The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe'.Tenderness and Rage, and the juxtaposition of these contrasting emotions is at the heart of a new exhibition at the Wellcome Collection. It explores the history of HIV from the AIDS epidemic of the 80s and 90s to today. We see stories of protest and of tender care through photography, film and objects belonging to those who faced these illnesses when so little was known about how to treat or survive them. Angelina Namiba was one of them. She was diagnosed with HIV in 1993, and at first, thought it was a death sentence. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

Welcome to a two-part series on hair loss. Hair loss is often a sign that something in the body is out of balance, whether it's a nutritional deficiency, hormone imbalance, gut dysfunction, chronic stress, or toxic exposure. Hair restoration is all about identifying the root cause and then optimizing your health from the inside out. Today, in Part 1, I explain why hair loss happens and how to test for it. I also clarify what a personalized treatment plan should look like and introduce the TED treatment (Trans Epidermal Delivery), which has shown remarkable results at our clinic. In Part 2, Jason Carpenter, a TED device expert from Alma Lasers with over 25 years of experience in the aesthetic industry, joins me to explore the science and clinical data, highlight who would be a good candidate, and explain the results you can expect. So, if you or someone you know is experiencing thinning hair, this series will offer you hope by providing clear answers and offering practical direction. How to identify the root causes of hair loss Get comprehensively tested instead of guessing what's driving the hair loss  Check your thyroid function with a full panel, not just basic markers  Measure your iron stores (ferritin), not just standard iron levels  Assess any nutrient deficiencies linked to hair growth  Screen for hidden contributors like gut issues or toxic exposures Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.  A nurse practitioner since 2009, Dr. Gray completed her doctorate focusing on estrogen metabolism from the University of Iowa in 2011 and holds a Master's in Metabolic Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida's Medical School.

Welcome to the very first episode of Stories From the Innkeeper — a new series within Doctor's Inn centered around personal stories, reflections, and the parts of medicine we don't always talk about enough.For our first episode, I'm joined by two of my close friends and classmates, Thomas (Tommy) Pawlowski and Anish Rana, as we reflect on a question that quietly follows many medical students throughout training:Do you have to sacrifice yourself to succeed?The three of us matched into our #1 residency programs, pursued research, traveled internationally, stayed connected with family and relationships, and intentionally made space for life outside of medicine. Yet throughout medical school, there was always an unspoken pressure that if you weren't constantly grinding, suffering, or living in the library, maybe you weren't doing enough.In this conversation, we challenge that idea.We talk about impostor syndrome, the pressure to fit the hyper-Type A mold, balancing travel and research, making money stretch during medical school, wellness beyond institutional checkboxes, relationships, productivity guilt, and learning the art of saying both “yes” and “no.” We also reflect on the moments that mattered most—the memories, friendships, and experiences that never make it onto a CV but ultimately shaped who we became.This episode is a reminder that medicine doesn't have to be a four-year gauntlet. You will have difficult seasons. But suffering is not a prerequisite for success.Because four years later, the moments you remember most usually aren't the extra hours spent in the library.They're the moments where you actually lived.You can follow Anish on Instagram @ anish_rana and Tommy @tommyp709If you want to support Doctor's Inn, here are some easy ways:1.

Your doctor orders a lipid panel every year — but 3 cheap blood tests predict heart disease, diabetes, and even dementia far better than cholesterol, and most doctors never order them. In this episode, Robert Lufkin MD walks through fasting insulin + HOMA-IR, homocysteine, and high-sensitivity CRP — three tests that together cost about $60, take one blood draw, and catch the metabolic dysfunction a standard lipid panel systematically misses.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on health news today. Dr. Jack starts with a history lesson of how the medical world of today came to be the way it is, including how medical schools came to be and how they were funded at the beginning , as well as the Rockefeller influence on how medical schools began to be funded by pharmaceutical companies, and the curriculum began to change. Back to the Rockefeller influence, the Rockefeller family fundamentally shaped modern Western medicine in the early 20th century by funding allopathic (pharmaceutical-based) medicine while sidelining holistic practices. Through massive philanthropic investments, the Rockefeller Foundation and Institute for Medical Research established standardized, laboratory-based research, creating the framework for modern "Big Pharma" and specialized medical education. Dr. Jack's job as a NUCCA Chiropractor is to remove torsion and  tension on the brain stem, where it exits the skull and turns into the spinal cord. If you're unfamiliar with what NUCCA chiropractic (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) means, it is is a gentle, precise, non-invasive technique focusing on correcting the alignment between the head and neck (the atlas vertebra). It uses specialized x-rays to measure and correct spinal imbalances without any twisting, cracking, or popping, aiming to restore nervous system function and improve overall health Now, that's only half of Dr. Jack's job. The other half is to take care of his patients' overall physiology. Whether it's the nervous system, digestion, elimination, the immune system, the skeletal system, the cardiovascular system, and whatever else. Lastly, Doug joins Dr. Jack for a conversation addressing listener questions. Included is a focus on what we've learned from the Artemis astronauts, medically speaking. The Artemis astronauts provide critical data on deep-space health effects, revealing that, unlike low-Earth orbit, deep space increases risks from higher radiation and intense fluid shifts. Key findings include significant, rapid bone marrow changes, cardiovascular adaptation to microgravity (fluid shift to the head), increased vestibular disorientation upon reentry, and immune system weakening, which helps develop countermeasures for future Mars missions.All this and more in this episode of Good Day Health. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, we're celebrating three very different – but beautifully connected – picture books and their creators. First, Dr. Candice Childs joins us to talk about her autobiographical picture book "CC, Sour and Sweet Journey to Medical School." She shares how the "sweet" parts of her journey are actually the moments of growth, resilience, and purpose that came from repeated failure and perseverance. The "sour" moments include painful setbacks and even an advisor bluntly telling her she'd never get into medical school. Candice explains how she turned that discouragement into fuel, and how her parents' unwavering belief in her – especially her late mother's message, "Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do" – continues to guide her. She also talks about why parents' words matter so deeply for kids' mental health, and how books can spark the most powerful family conversations. Next, Margaret Proctor shares the delightful backstory behind "Cousins, What's Next?" Inspired by her great-granddaughter and youngest grandson getting into everything together, Margaret explores the joy, chaos, and blessings of intergenerational relationships. She reflects on being rejected by traditional publishers years ago, what it felt like to finally hold her own book ("I danced for ten minutes!"), and encourages aspiring writers to honor their ideas and just start. Finally, Tricia Gardella introduces us to Mouse, star of the Mouse Traveler series, including "Mouse Visits Everglades National Park." Tricia talks about falling in love with this little character, weaving real national park facts into fun adventures, and why she hopes her books help kids love – and fight to protect – our national parks for generations to come.

How to use red light therapy more effectively Focus on consistency over quick wins as results build gradually with repeated sessions  Choose clinically validated devices rather than low-powered consumer versions  Expose as much skin as possible to allow the light to reach the targeted tissues  Use proper eye protection for every session  Be upfront about your current medications and health history to allow proper screening Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.  A nurse practitioner since 2009, Dr. Gray completed her doctorate focusing on estrogen metabolism from the University of Iowa in 2011 and holds a Master's in Metabolic Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida's Medical School.

Clin Teach 2026; 23(3):e70421. doi: 10.1111/tct.70421.Episode Summary: In this journal club episode tailored for healthcare trailblazers, we explore a massive paradigm shift in medical education. We examine a 2026 perspective article that uses the notoriously complex field of renal pathology as a stress test for a brand-new teaching model. Moving away from dark lecture halls and static, perfect images, we discuss what happens when artificial intelligence is actively combined with flipped classrooms, fundamentally redefining what it means to be a competent physician in the digital age.In This Episode, We Cover:• The "Bottleneck" of Renal Pathology: Why the kidney is the ultimate teaching hurdle. Students must translate the dense, flattened 2D reality of an H&E stain into an understanding of a patient's complex systemic autoimmune response.• The Danger of the "Curated Reality": Why traditional teaching methods that rely on textbook-perfect, heavily curated slides create "brittle" mental models. When students finally encounter messy, real-world biopsies with overlapping, ambiguous pathologies, the traditional educational foundation falls apart.• The "Spell Checker" for Histopathology: How collaborative AI elevates Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) beyond just high-resolution screens. The AI acts as a concurrent guide, using pixel-level pattern recognition to highlight regions of interest simultaneously and simulate the complex reasoning process of an expert pathologist.• The Case-Based Flipped Classroom (CBFC): The pedagogical engine that anchors these AI tools in clinical reality. Instead of passive lectures, students are handed the "detective's case file" beforehand to actively interrogate annotated slides, synthesizing diverse data streams to defend diagnoses in collaborative groups.• Redefining Medical Competence (The "Clinical Editor"): Why the new bottleneck in medical education isn't memorization—it's critical appraisal. We discuss the necessity of teaching "digital literacy," training students to skeptically manage AI, recognize its blind spots (like confusing a physical tissue fold for an abnormality), and actively audit the algorithm against the messy human reality of the patient.• The Impending Culture Collision: A look at the fascinating future where freshly minted, AI-native residents enter a legacy clinical workforce still transitioning away from physical glass slides, potentially reversing traditional medical hierarchies in the hospital.Key Takeaway: The goal of modern medical education is no longer just memorizing histological patterns, as that heavy lifting is being outsourced to algorithms. By fusing AI-powered digital pathology with the necessary friction of case-based learning, we are training a new generation of diagnosticians to view AI not as a crutch, but as a powerful collaborative tool that must be thoughtfully scrutinized and audited for safe patient careSupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

I'm thrilled to connect with Dr. Natalie Crawford today. She's a double-board-certified fertility doctor and the author of The Fertility Formula. Unlike most other physicians, she blends lifestyle and functional medicine with science-based facts, aiming to help women conceive and understand their bodies. While this conversation may not feel fully aligned with the perimenopause and menopause transition, I encourage you to listen with an open mind to what Natalie shares about hormones. In our discussion, we explore fertility as a vital sign, the impact of infertility, and why one in six women experiences infertility. We break down ovarian reserve and the realities of aging. We also cover specific labs that can help assess ovarian reserve and overall health. We explain DOR and POI, the overlap between fertility and perimenopause, and why the ovaries can behave like a “cranky toddler” in perimenopause. Finally, we dive into the role of the gut microbiome in estrogen metabolism and inflammation, and discuss IVF, egg freezing, modern reproductive options, lifestyle influences, and a series of rapid-fire questions. Dr. Crawford's book, The Fertility Formula, is a must-read for women of all ages. It contains many valuable insights, and I love the way she blends an integrative approach with an allopathic approach for her patients. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How fertility serves as a health marker that reflects a woman's hormonal, cellular, and metabolic health The role of inflammation in infertility Dr. Crawford clarifies ovarian reserve, highlighting the importance of understanding egg quality and quantity. Why AMH testing is the most informative first step for women concerned about their fertility Dr. Crawford outlines three factors that can cause missed or irregular periods. The importance of tracking ovulation and understanding the body's signals during perimenopause Inflammation and aging can disrupt chromosome alignment and impair embryo development. How poor estrogen clearance and gut microbiome imbalances disrupt brain-ovary signaling and ovulation timing The link between sleep deprivation and low sperm counts, and how stress and lack of muscle mass can drive insulin resistance and inflammation Why sleep, muscle mass, and stress reduction are all essential for fertility It's essential to approach fertility proactively, and to know how to do that.
