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

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

Author: Health Optimization Medicine and Practice May 13, 2026 Duration: 26:11

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.
