This is great! I’ve been recommending for years that as you progress through your workout sessions that you add things like an exercise ball to say, Cable work moving from seated to kneeling to standing. You can also close your eyes during parts of your workouts. Even sitting on an exercise ball at home with your eyes closed will provide a lot of data on where your body thinks. It is in space.

I had no idea how truly important this was! !

Give it a try, just be careful

Creatine may affect not only muscles, but also mental health - and new research is beginning to show this.

A pilot randomized study published in Translational Psychiatry (2023) found that in women with Major Depressive Disorder and symptoms of anxiety, taking 5 g of creatine per day was associated with a reduction in anxiety levels.

What the researchers observed:

• reduced anxiety within the first week
• further improvement throughout the study
• a noticeable reduction in scores on clinical anxiety scales

Why this may work:

• creatine plays a role in the brain’s energy metabolism
• it helps increase the availability of ATP - the primary energy source for cells
• it may influence the function of the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in emotions and the stress response

What this means:

Creatine is not only a sports supplement for strength and muscle growth.

There is growing evidence that it may also influence cognitive and emotional processes.

However, it is important to consider the limitations:

• this was a pilot study with a small sample size
• the findings need to be confirmed in larger clinical trials
• creatine is not a replacement for treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional

The main takeaway:

The brain’s energy status is closely connected to mental well-being.

Creatine appears to be a promising area of research, but it is certainly not a “magic pill.”

***Please remember to start with a loading dose for six days before moving to a maintenance dose for not more than two months and then cycle off for at least a month after!

I was just having this conversation with the Running group this evening, how much stuff we get from the military and don’t even know it:

When most people feel stressed, they try to think their way out of it.

Elite military units often do something different.

They understand that intense stress isn’t just a mental state—it’s a biological one.

When cortisol and adrenaline surge, the body prepares for survival. The fastest way to recover isn’t always by forcing yourself to “calm down.” It’s by giving your nervous system clear signals that the threat has passed.

Research supports several techniques that can accelerate recovery after acute stress, including controlled breathing, physical movement, social connection, and adequate sleep. These approaches help shift the body out of a heightened stress response.

The goal isn’t to suppress stress.

It’s to help your body complete the stress cycle.

Your nervous system doesn’t listen to motivational speeches.

It listens to biology.

Sometimes the fastest way to feel better isn’t changing your thoughts. .

It’s changing what your body experiences next.

I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’…

Ladies (and lads), please make sure you follow the protocols! I was having this conversation with of and wanted to share:

First, make sure you’re taking it based on your LEAN bodyweight! This is your weight less your body fat percentage. Then there is a loading phase (6day) and a maintenance phase (8wks) then cycle off 4wks off!

As an example, 160Ibs lean bodyweight requires 18 grams of creatine per day for 6 days to load, then 6 grams of creatine per day taken in divided doses (4-6 daily) of no more than 5grams to maintain muscle levels for the rest of an eight-week cycle. This will help avoid bloating and the dreaded intestinal distress, lol! 💩

Also, it should be taken with sugar and by that I don’t mean actual sugar, but it should be added to some form of sweetened protein drink.

Personally, I recommend a mixture of 100% grapefruit juice and 100% grape juice as this will facilitate a faster muscle uptake.

Sidenote, some people may not respond completely to creatine effects so you can boost your insulin efficiency with the daily supplement of up to 400 micrograms of chromium picolinate, 600mg of EPA, and up to 25mg of DHEA.

It’s worth noting that some people operate on very low levels of DHEA so consider getting your blood tested to get it into the normal range.

And finally, stick with creatine monohydrate. While there are other forms on the market, there has been no evidence that they work as well as creatine monohydrate.

I hope you found this helpful and good luck on your journey!
