Most people think of creatine as a supplement for bodybuilders—but that's only a small part of the story.

In this Wellness Illuminated episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May explores why creatine is one of the most overlooked nutrients for supporting healthy aging, brain function, mitochondrial health, muscle preservation, and long-term vitality.

This conversation goes beyond fitness to uncover how creatine helps fuel the body's energy systems at the cellular level. Dr. Lara explains why symptoms like brain fog, slower recovery, fatigue, declining muscle mass, and reduced resilience may all point to a deeper issue: insufficient cellular energy.

You'll learn how creatine works, why it's essential for tissues with high energy demands, who may benefit most from supplementation, and why this simple compound deserves a much larger role in conversations about longevity and whole-body wellness.

If you've ever wondered whether feeling "older" is simply part of aging—or if there's more to the story—this episode offers a science-backed perspective on supporting your body from the inside out.
