“A meta-analysis restricted to direct regional measures from MRI, CT, or ultrasound found a very small average hypertrophy benefit when creatine was combined with resistance training, with uncertainty around the pooled estimate and variation across sites and populations.”
Episode
“Longer endurance aerobic exercise seems to be most effective at producing higher levels of FGF21, coinciding with anecdotes you might have heard from runners who have successfully used exercise in this sort of way. Relevant publications Flippo, Kyle H., et al.”
“Rebuilding muscle relies on proper nutrition and exercise, but aging reduces the body's response to both. Extended periods of inactivity, such as post-surgery or during illness, can rapidly deplete muscle mass, especially in older people, potentially pushing them into a "catabolic crisis."”
“Some studies suggest cheese may lower the risk of dementia and heart disease, despite its saturated fat content—raising questions about the effects of food structure, fermentation, and individual differences in metabolism.”
“In Part I of this three-part Aliquot series, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I examine creatine through the lens of two critical systems—muscle and bone—and unpack how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”
“In Aliquots #131 and #133, leading researcher Dr. Darren Candow and I examined creatine's benefits for muscle quality, physical function, skeletal health, and brain resilience, especially in older adults.”
“These changes increase infection risk, weaken vaccine responses, and reduce early cancer surveillance. Yet immune aging is not fixed. Movement, sleep, stress regulation, temperature exposure, and nutrition shape immune cell balance and inflammatory activity over time.”
“Insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 for short, is a protein that plays critical roles in major growth pathways in the human body. It influences nearly every tissue in the body, especially developmental growth, skeletal muscle and neurons.”
“Having a healthy, robust immune system is crucial for our survival. Critical players in the body's antiviral immune response are interferons. Certain lifestyle behaviors can boost interferon production and immune function, including sleep, vitamin D, and hot hydrotherapy.”
“Whether the medical community will embrace these lifestyle interventions remains to be seen. Available pharmaceutical treatments have their advantages and disadvantages, and while they are helpful for a subset of depressed people, a quarter of patients taking antidepressants may get worse.”
