Is Your Brain Running on Empty?

In this episode, I reveal how creatine isn’t just for building muscle—it’s a game-changer for brain health, mood, and healthy aging. Think of your brain like a firefighter with an oxygen tank—without enough energy, it can’t function at its best. That’s where creatine steps in as your body’s natural “battery pack,” fueling every single cell, especially in the brain.Even though the brain makes up only 2% of your body weight, it burns about 20% of your energy—and creatine is key to keeping that system running smoothly. I’ll break down the science in simple terms and show you why creatine for mental clarity, cognitive performance, and longevity might be one of the most overlooked tools in your health routine.If you’ve only thought of creatine as a supplement for athletes, this episode will change your perspective.Here is the link to the Substack article: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/p/is-your-brain-running-on-emptyA Big Thank You To Our Sponsors: If you want the best supplement to help you on your plant-based journey, you have to try Complement: https://lovecomplement.com/?aff=62If you are over the age of 50 and want to improve your body composition, build lean muscle (combat sarcopenia), build stronger bones (to combat osteoporosis), and you want to feel your best, I highly recommend exploring the life-changing coaching offered at https://www.fitvegancoaching.com/ Their personalized, whole-food, plant-based approach helped me lose 7% body fat, gain lean muscle, and even improve my running time—all while feeling energized and healthy.
