Whether you’re looking to optimize strength, energy, or aging gracefully, this episode gives you the facts you need to decide if creatine is right for you.

You’ll also learn practical tips, like how to choose the right type (hint: stick with creatine monohydrate), ideal dosages, and when supplementation may not be necessary.
