In this high anticipated episode of The Fit Physician Podcast, Suzanne and Jake tackle one of the most researched supplements in the health and fitness world—creatine. Suzanne breaks down the science behind its benefits, who it’s for, and why it’s not just for “gym bros.” Jake adds humor with a personal story about his early supplement mishaps.

You’ll learn how creatine supports muscle growth, cognition (especially for sleep-deprived brains), and even bone health. Plus, why it’s only effective when built on a foundation of solid nutrition and strength training.
