Creatine: From muscle to memory
We’re unlocking new research with creatine! In this episode of Live Foreverish, Dr. Mike and Dr. Crystal welcome Dr. Aaron Smith, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Kansas Medical Center, to discuss his pilot study on creatine supplementation in Alzheimer's patients. Dr. Smith explains how creatine supports brain energy metabolism and why its disruption in Alzheimer's makes it a compelling therapeutic target. #LELEARN #EDULFsocial
