Today, I am delighted to reconnect with two previous guests, Dr. Darren Candow.
Dr. Candow is a distinguished professor and an internationally renowned researcher on creatine monohydrate, nutrition, and physical activity who joined me before on Episode 301, where we spoke about creatine.
We are doing an AMA session today, delving into various themes surrounding creatine, from debunking outdated RDA recommendations to exploring the synergies between strength training and creatine efficacy. We look into the cognitive benefits of creatine, exploring how it interacts with caffeine and its implications for bone health, hydration, anabolic resistance, and metabolic health.
I trust you will find today's AMA session as enlightening and enriching as I did while recording it.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
The safety and efficacy of creatine as a supplement
How creatine increases muscle mass and reduces protein catabolism
The benefits of combining creatine with protein
Is it better to take creatine before or after a workout?
How creatine supplementation may improve brain performance and mental clarity
Why exercise is essential for those who want to experience the benefits of creatine for maintaining their bone health
The benefits of resistance-band workouts for post-menopausal women
Are there any age-related limits for creatine supplementation?
