181 - Scott Forbes: Creatine's Benefits Beyond the Gym

In this episode of Fitness Candor Podcast, we dive into the world of creatine with our guest, Scott Forbes. Scott is an associate professor in the Department of Physical Education Studies at Brandon University and an adjunct professor at the University of Regina, Canada. His extensive research on nutrition, exercise interventions, and creatine supplementation has made him an authority on the topic.

In this episode, we explore the evolving reputation of creatine from a "meathead" supplement to a versatile health aid. Scott shares insights into how creatine benefits not just athletes but also older adults and the general population. We discuss the science behind creatine, its effects on muscle, bone, brain function, and the cognitive benefits that are turning heads in the scientific and fitness/health community.
