Could a simple supplement that bodybuilders use to build muscle actually help fight Alzheimer's disease? Dr. Matthew Taylor from the University of Kansas reveals surprising results from her groundbreaking clinical trial testing high-dose creatine in Alzheimer's patientsIn this episode, Dr. Matthew Taylor discusses his pioneering research on creatine supplementation for Alzheimer's disease, addressing a critical gap in brain energy metabolism that worsens with aging and becomes severely impaired in dementia. His 8-week clinical trial gave 20 Alzheimer's patients 20 grams of creatine daily - a bodybuilder's loading dose - and found remarkable improvements in memory, executive function, and even unexpected gains in reading comprehension. Using advanced MRI spectroscopy, his team confirmed that creatine actually reaches the brain, increasing levels by 11%. Beyond cognitive benefits, participants also showed significant improvements in hand grip strength and muscle mass. Dr. Taylor explains how brain energy metabolism creates a vicious cycle in Alzheimer's, explores whether creatine could prevent dementia in healthy aging, and reveals his plans for combining creatine with ketogenic diet approaches. This conversation offers hope for a simple, accessible intervention that could help millions facing cognitive decline.🌐Links in this video Creatine monohydrate pilot in Alzheimer's: Feasibility, brain creatine, and cognitionhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12089086/Dr Taylor's website at Kansas University https://www.kumc.edu/mtaylor3.htmlSeeking Health supplements: 10% discount code Richard10 https://crrnt.app/SEEK/-dm0MyrQ, Histamine Nutrients https://crrnt.app/SEEK/EpM7paAOAX3 Life Astaxanthin 20% discount code MODERN20 https://tinyurl.com/2t3w26nwhttps://www.choosemuse.comAll Muse devices 15% discount code MODERN https://choosemuse.com/MODERNStemregen 15% discount Code MODERN https://tinyurl.com/45z968yr (Only available in the US)Renue by Science all 10% discount with code MHS https://renuebyscience.com/ Nuchido Time+ 20% discount of first purchase with code MODERN20 https://nuchido.com/MODERNIf you would like to support our channel please consider signing up on patreon https://patreon.com/ModernHealthspanYou can also find us on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/modernhealthspan
