The compelling and robust body of evidence of ergogenic — enhancing physical performance — effects of creatine supplementation (5 g/day) are well-documented. Besides the evidence supporting its efficacy in increasing exercise performance/muscle function, muscle strength, and lean mass, there is literature suggesting that creatine may also be beneficial for brain health.Joining me today to discuss this is mike Mutzel. Mike is wildly popular in the health, fitness and nutrition space garnering tens of millions of views on his YouTube channel which is actually where I first found out about mike. I am blessed to have him on todays episode because Mike is one of those guys who not only educates but he lives and breathes scientific education.  Sponsor:LMNT - drinklmnt.com/NEURO - CODE NEUROKETONE-IQ- 20% DISCOUNT - NEURO20https://hvmn.com/NEUROFind Mike here:Youtube.com/@HighintensityhealthInstagram: metabolic_mike Mike's Website: highintensityhealth.com/You can follow me or contact me here ---Newsletter: https://b

Good posture is about more than standing up straight: It can change your mood, alleviate pain, rid your body of stressful tension, and may be the difference between getting that raise you’ve wanted and attracting your ideal mate, or not.

Max Lugavere is a science journalist and New York Times bestselling author on a mission to help people feel better, live longer, and maximize their brain health by optimizing their diet. On this episode, Max will introduce dementia, discuss public policies around Alzheimer’s disease, and discuss modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for AD prevention. Join Max Lugavere and learn how food can help protect your brain and your overall health.Alzheimer's disease, one of the most dreaded conditions of old age, is unfortunately made even more of a burden by a gene called ApoE4. With two copies of this gene, you can double your risk of developing this devastating condition, proving that life isn't always fair. Even if you don't have the gene, aging still increases your chances, making it seem like no matter what you do, Alzheimer's will still creep up on you. But don't lose hope - animal studies have found that heat shock proteins can at least offer some protection against it. So, while Alzheimer's may be loomi

How shocking is it to think that by the time you are in your 30s and 40s that your brain is already showing signs of Alzheimer’s. There is no immediate cure, yet, but there are things we can do to protect our brains around our diet and knowledge that we can actually apply and put into action. One of the ways to optimise your brain is by managing your nutrition and one topic within this field that I want to understand is that of metabolism.   Metabolic dysfunction. What is it? What is sugar? Why is sugar so bad? I deep dive into these topics with Robert Lustig who is back on the podcast for a part II.  Dr Lustig's book: Metabolical: The truth about processed food and how it poisons people and the planet https://amzn.to/3pX7iaL Sponsors: KETONE-IQ- 20% DISCOUNT - NEURO20https://hvmn.com/NEURO MOMENTOUS SUPPLEMENTS - 15% DISCOUNT - NEUROhttps://www.livemomentous.com/neuro Connect with Dr Lustig:Website https://robertlustig.comTwitter https://twitter.com/RobertLustigMDFacebook https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertLus

Surgery is a highly skilled and demanding field that requires the same level of precision and decision making as an elite athlete. As my guest, Dr Karan Rajan explains, just as an athlete must perform under pressure and make split-second decisions on the field, a surgeon must do the same in the operating room. Surgery requires a high level of focus and concentration, and mistakes can have serious consequences.

In this informative and eye-opening podcast, I sit down with renowned endocrinologist and obesity expert, Dr. Robert Lustig, to discuss the often misunderstood topic of saturated fat. Dr. Lustig breaks down the complex concept in a "beautifully simplistic" way and explains how the scale lies when it comes to measuring our overall health. We delve into the three separate fat depots in our bodies and how they contribute differently to our health. Dr. Lustig also touches on the link between stress, cortisol, and visceral fat and how sugar plays a role in the development of a fatty liver.

In this episode, I sat down with Professor Stuart Phillips to discuss the importance of  exercise - resistance training, nutrition, and recovery in building muscle and improving strength. This is all in the pursuit of better brain health and as we know, brain health and longevity has a greater impact when we have more strength and increased muscle mass.  Professor Phillips is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Skeletal Muscle Health in Aging. He is a Professor in Kinesiology, and Graduate Faculty in the School of Medicine at McMaster University. He is a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (FCAHS) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). His research is focused on the impact of nutrition and exercise on the mechanisms of human skeletal muscle protein turnover. He is also keenly interested in diet- and exercise-induced changes in body composition particularly in older persons.Sponsors:KETONE-IQ- 20% DISCOUNT - NEURO20https://hvmn.me/NeuroMOMENTOUS SUPPLEMENTS - 15% DISCOUNT - NEUROhttps:

No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease– yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that. Stephan is a neuroscientist who, in this episode, will go into the topic of obesity. Stephan provides insights into obesity that are not normally spoken about. He talks in depth about the role of genetics, the brain, and hormones such as leptin that play in the regulation of fat mass.  He dives deep into the factors that affect body weight, controlling appetite and controlling food intake and provides takeaways for people wanting to take advantage of what we know about the brain’s role in regulating our body weight. This episode is for anybody wanting to understand the neuroscience of obesity.

Sleep is generally divided into two phases, REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non-rapid eye movement).  While the REM sleep phase is when your body focuses on reenergizing your mind, the NREM phase, and specifically the deep sleep stage, is when your body’s physically restorative processes take place. With your brain less active, the blood supply to your muscles and tissues increases, delivering oxygen and nutrients that promote muscle repair and growth. Let’s dig into some specific connections between sleep and muscle recovery. Professor Shona Halson is the Deputy Director of the SPRINT Research Centre atACU’s School of Behavioural and Health Sciences. Prior to this she was the HeadRecovery Physiologist at the Australian Institute of Sport for over 15 years and hasled the Recovery team at three Olympic campaigns with the Australian OlympicCommittee. Her research focuses on sleep, recovery and fatigue and she haspublished over 160 peer-reviewed articles and multiple book chapters. Shonaprovides consultancy s

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that are required by the human body. There are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids: Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) Found in flaxseed oil and chia seed oil Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) In short: ALA⇒ EPA⇒ DHA Your body isn’t good at producing omega-3s. That’s why they’re called essential fatty acids—you have to get them from food or supplements. In this solo episode I will: 1. Break down what Omega 3 fatty acids are.2.

During the ageing process, physical capabilities (e.g., muscular strength) and cognitive functions (e.g., memory) gradually decrease. Regarding cognitive functions, substantial functional (e.g., compensatory brain activity) and structural changes (e.g., shrinking of the hippocampus) in the brain cause this decline. From a glance: Dementia affects approximately 47 million individuals globally with projections of 130 million by the year 2050. Late-onset Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for approximately 75% of all cases and is characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function, memory, and cerebral volume. The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is poorly understood; however, aging, genetics, and an individual's diet and lifestyle over several decades appear to be key determinants. Excitingly, growing evidence points towards a relationship between cognition and measures of muscular strength and muscle mass. First part of this episode goes into the brain ageing pr
