Welcome back to Taboo Topics! ✨ Dr. Becca and Dr. Amber are stripping away the stereotypes surrounding one of the world's most researched supplements: Creatine. We move past the \"bulking\" myths to discuss how this naturally occurring molecule affects ATP, mitochondrial energy, and why it might be the secret weapon for menopausal health and cognitive function!
In this episode, we cover:
✅ The Science of Power: ATP, Mitochondria, and how Creatine \"donates\" energy to your cells. ⚡🧬
✅ Women & Creatine: Why the lack of research on women is \"classic,\" and why we might actually benefit more than men. 🚺✨
✅ The Gummy Con: Why Amber’s \"sweet treat\" was actually an under-dose, and the hidden costs of Creatine gummies. 🍬💸
✅ Brain Health: Can Creatine help with depression, sleep deprivation, and neurodegenerative disorders? (The early research is exciting!). 🧠💤
✅ Side Effects & Kidney Tests: Debunking the \"Water Weight\" myth and why you MUST tell your GP you're taking Creatine before a blood test. 🧪📉
Whether you’re a marathon runner or just looking for a bit more \"brain power\" in the morning, this episode is your evidence-based guide to supplementation 🎙️💙
