Creatine, Cellular Energy, and the Modern Stress Epidemic | HOMe Podcast #010

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, the HOMeHOPe Faculty comes together for a roundtable conversation exploring the science and clinical application of creatine. Moving beyond its reputation as just a performance supplement for "gym bros," Boomer Anderson, Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Allen Bookatz, and Dr. Ted Achacoso break down how creatine functions as a critical cellular battery buffer. **Join us as we delve into:** - How creatine bypasses the "methylation tax" by saving the body from depleting SAMe reserves to produce energy. - Why muscle is a metabolic determinant of resilience and not just a cosmetic feature. - The evolutionary mismatch that increases our cellular energy demands due to a highly sympathetic, stressed lifestyle. - The role of creatine in brain health is particularly important for supporting working memory, mitigating cognitive fatigue, and protecting against excitotoxicity. **This episode is for you if:** - You are curious about how to support your body's cellular energy and mitochondrial function. - You follow a vegetarian or plant-based diet and want to understand your specific creatine supplementation needs. - You want to understand the difference between maintaining muscle for aesthetic reasons versus metabolic health. - You are looking for strategies to mitigate mental fatigue and sleep deprivation. **You can also find this episode on...** YouTube: https://youtu.be/R4x9tu56FXg  **Find more from Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMeHOPe):** Website: https://homehope.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homehopeorg/ HOMeHOPe Conference 2026: https://homehope.org/homehope-conference-2026 Use **PODCAST10** to get 10% OFF your purchase of the Clinical Metabolomics Module at https://homehope.org/products/clinical-metabolomics  **Find more from Troscriptions:** Website: https://troscriptions.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/  Use **POD10** to get 10% OFF your Troscriptions purchase at https://troscriptions.com/collections/our-products
