Ep 426 Creatine for the Brain: Separating Fact from Fiction ft. Dr. Boz [Part 2]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you feeling off, low on energy, or not performing at your best—but can’t quite explain why?
In Part 2 of this 2-part series, Coach Chris Wilson and Dr. Annette “Dr. Boz” Bosworth shift from theory to real-world application, exploring how modern lifestyle habits are quietly draining your energy, focus, and long-term health.
They dive into the hidden factors shaping your performance—from sleep and environment to daily habits that push you closer to a metabolic “danger zone” without you realizing it. You’ll also hear simple, practical strategies that can quickly improve how you feel, think, and function.
This episode also tackles some of the biggest creatine myths head-on, while exposing the “supplement trap” many people fall into when chasing better health. Chris and Dr. Boz challenge conventional thinking and even explore what it would look like if creatine were treated like a prescription-level tool for performance and prevention.
You’ll learn why short-term gains often come at a long-term cost, how small changes can create rapid improvements, and what it really takes to build sustainable energy and resilience.
This episode brings everything together—connecting brain health, lifestyle, and supplementation into a practical, no-nonsense approach to better performance and longevity.
