When JJ Virgin was on the show recently, we barely scratched the surface on something that has genuinely changed how I think about fueling my brain and body. I had to bring her back because this conversation is too important, especially for those of us running on empty, dealing with anxiety, or just trying to keep up with the relentless demands of modern parenting. JJ breaks down the research on creatine, and I'm not talking about some bro-science gym supplement. We're talking about mental clarity, stress resilience, and even studies showing women on SSRIs who weren't getting better finally finding relief when they added creatine. You'll walk away understanding why most of us are deficient, why the form of creatine matters way more than you've been told, and exactly how to use this tool to feel more like yourself again.
