    Creatine & The "Magical" Brain Effect (and how to buy the RIGHT creatine) | EP 426

    Creatine has more to do with your brain than your biceps. It helps your cells recycle ATP, the energy your brain burns through faster than almost any tissue you've got. So it isn't really about building bigger muscles at all. It's about energy, focus, and staying sharp at any age. In my latest episode, I break down what creatine actually is, how much to take, and the 3 things I check on every label before I buy, because this is one of the most contamination-prone supplements out there. On this episode, you'll learn: Why creatine is a peptide, not a protein, and what that changes (00:07)The "magical" thing it does to your energy-hungry brain (02:05)Why it may matter more as you age, not less (04:15)The "half-scoop" trick so you don't blow up like a toad (05:59)The 3 things to check on any creatine label before you buy (08:23)Done right, creatine is one of the most proven things you can take to support your muscles and your brain. Show notes/Transcript: https://drgundry.com/creatine-brain-health P.S. Creatine fuels your muscles, but it doesn't build them. That distinction is exactly why I formulated my own, MyoPeptide Complex, with the full 5-gram clinical dose plus a few things creatine alone can't do. Take a look here.

    Asthma: How to Fix It | Ep 425

    Asthma. What if the wheezing, the tight chest, the inhaler you reach for every spring isn’t really a lung problem at all? In this episode, I’ll explain why asthma has skyrocketed since the 1960s and what you can do to fix it. Questions I’ll answer: Is asthma really a lung disease… or an overreactive immune system firing from somewhere else entirely?Could our obsession with “clean”, like sterile homes, sterile hands, sterile food, be the culprit?Why did almost no one have these problems a few generations ago?What do antibiotics in pregnancy and early childhood have to do with a wheeze that shows up years later?Why might a muddy dog be one of the best things for your lungs?And the big one: if asthma starts in the gut, what does it actually take to calm the whole system down? Topics covered: asthma and the immune system, leaky gut and inflammation, the hygiene hypothesis, endotoxins as “nature’s allergy shots,” antibiotics in early life, the microbiome and immune “education,” gut buddies, Akkermansia and the mucus layer, lectins and the gut wall, molecular mimicry, dogs, dirt, and microbial diversity, and restoring your inner terrain.

    Why Ibuprofen is a “Hand Grenade” for Your Gut | EP 424

    In this episode, I break down the real reasons we feel pain in the first place, why the most popular over-the-counter painkillers are quietly making your pain worse the longer you take them, and the smarter, natural tools I reach for with my own patients. From ice versus heat, to Epsom salt baths, to the surprising gut connection behind migraines, I’ll show you how to work with your body’s signals instead of blasting through them. Because when you understand that pain is information, you stop asking “how do I make this stop?” and start asking the far more important question: “why is my body telling me this?” On this episode, you’ll learn: Why pain is your body’s warning system — and what happens when you ignore the root cause (01:35)The real reasons we feel pain: inflammation, poor blood flow, nerve irritation, and gut dysfunction (02:33)Why chronic inflammation is like cutting yourself in the same spot every single day — and never letting it heal (06:36)Ice vs. heat: which one to reach for, and why Epsom salt baths deliver magnesium without the bathroom emergency (07:15)The surprising gut connection behind migraines — and how I went from 30 years of headaches to none (11:16)The story of my patient Jill, her zucchini-tomato relish, and the simple kitchen trick that ended her migraines (12:32)Why I tell my patients that one ibuprofen is like swallowing a hand grenade for your gut (14:21)The natural COX-2 alternative I trust, plus the free pain tools hiding in your bathtub, your pool, and your own breath (16:51) Thanks to our sponsors who made this podcast possible: Upgrade your sleep with Cozy Earth loungewear and sheets.

    Why You're Losing Muscle As You Age — And The Secret to Getting It Back | EP 423

    I'll bet you've never heard the word sarcopenia — but I promise you, it's happening to you right now. Starting around age 30, you begin quietly losing muscle mass, and here's the scary part: most of my patients never feel it happening until it's robbed them of the last 20 good years of their life. So today, I want to let you in on something I've learned after seeing patients six days a week for over 25 years: this kind of muscle loss is NOT a normal part of aging. I can prevent it, and so can you — at any age. In this episode, I break down what I call the gut-muscle axis — how a leaky gut, beaten up by lectins, NSAIDs, and antibiotics, shrinks your protein-absorbing surface area from the size of a tennis court down to a ping-pong table. That's why I tell my patients the problem isn't that you need more protein as you get older. It's that you can't absorb the protein you're already eating. I'll also explain why I think of your muscles as the "customers" that insulin has to sell to, why 88% of overweight folks (and 50% of normal-weight folks) are insulin resistant, and why I'm so concerned about GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic — because up to 40% of the weight you lose on them is muscle, the one tissue you cannot afford to give up. Plus, I'll show you how sealing your leaky gut blocks myostatins (the little compounds that keep your muscles from growing), why the real money is in your butt and thighs — not your "guns" — and the two free, do-it-at-home strength moves my old friend Jack LaLanne swore by, which you can knock out while you're brushing your teeth. Here's my take-home message, and I mean it: it is never too late to seal your gut and rebuild the muscle that matters most. What I cover: sarcopenia, muscle loss and aging, leaky gut, gut health, insulin resistance, GLP-1 and Ozempic side effects, protein absorption, the gut-muscle axis, myostatin, strength training after 60, metabolic flexibility, frailty, healthspan, and longevity.
