Rahul Sidhu narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.
Does lifting weights actually protect your brain, and is creatine the brain supplement the gym world thinks it is? Rahul goes through what the evidence really supports, from insulin sensitivity and inflammation to blood flow, which happens to be his own PhD specialism. He is even-handed about creatine too: promising in the lab, far shakier once you get to human trials. Worth a read before you order another tub.
