I confess to being suspicious about claims from the plethora of supplement products on the market, preferring always to eat as healthy and naturally as possible. Yet after listening to Australian ‘Brain Expert’ Louisa Nicola interviewed this week, I knew ‘Creatine’ needed to be a not-negotiable part of my diet.
In a compelling 2-hour chat with Stephen Barlett on the set of Diary of a CEO, Louisa discussed all aspects of how to keep our brains ‘healthy’. And as a member of Club Physical, who is there to get the best for your health, wellness and life, this is information you need to know.
Many of us know that ‘weight-training’ for instance, is the strongest action you can take to strengthen your mental health and reduce stress. But were you aware that ‘the heavier the weights, the better. Nicola advises that when training, seek to use 80% of your max weight for any move. Studies have proven that this has the biggest positive impact on your brain!
Much is discussed, but later I came away determined that I needed to add creatine to my daily regime, not just for energy and strength, but for brain health, the prevention of disease and longevity. And I promise you, that’s the closest that this guy will ever get to ‘white powder’!
If you watch or listen to this podcast, you will also learn:
- Why 70% of Alzheimer’s patients are women
- The “leaky brain” warning signs you are ignoring
- Why menopause triggers a 30% drop in brain energy
- How 20 minutes of Zone 5 training reverses heart aging
- Why your “willpower muscle” shrinks without hard challenges
Yes, Club Physical does stock creatine, yet I can promise you that our only bias is for methods, strategies and information that will help you and I stay healthy! Do invest the time to listen for yourself….
