I am delighted to have Scott Emmens and Kara Lazauskas joining me on the podcast today! Scott is the President of MD Logic, and Kara is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with a graduate degree in Molecular Muscle Exercise Physiology and a background in Sports Medicine.\nScott\u2019s fascination with fitness began when he was sixteen. He had asthma, and it confused him to see kids more out of shape than he was performing better than him. So he started working out. When he went to college, he developed an obsession with how the human body worked and became an amateur bodybuilder.\nKara is a total badass! Even though she lost her left lung to a benign tumor when she was just three-and-a-half years old, she became a Titan Games competitor. She is also an MMA fighter.\nIn this episode, Kara, Scott, and I dive into supplements in the sports and performance fields, the rigors of the FDA GMP (Good Manufacturing Process), and the need for quality supplementation. We discuss the value of Creatine Monohydrate, its benefits, some common misconceptions, and age-related changes that impact metabolic health. We discuss how brain metabolism can be supported with Creatine, gender-related differences, how estrogen influences Creatine, and how Creatine can be helpful in reducing the risk of depression and influencing BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). We also get into the unmatched safety and security standards of MD Logic, my reasons for aligning with them in creating Creatine Monohydrate, and some upcoming discounts for Creatine and melatonin during the holidays.\nI sincerely hope you will enjoy listening to today's conversation as much as I did recording it!\n\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nHow Kara got to where she is today.\xa0\xa0\n\nHow Scott got into using Creatine to biohack his fitness and health and started MD Logic.\n\nScott shares some of his concerns about the supplement industry.\n\nWhy is Creatine Monohydrate such an important supplement for muscle and brain health?\n\nThe benefits of taking a daily dose of Creatine Monohydrate.\n\nHow Creatine helps us have better quality sleep and perform better on lower energy.\n\nWhy do we need to actively support our musculature throughout our lifetime?\xa0\xa0\n\nHow Creatine helps to prevent sarcopenia and dementia as we age.\n\nHow not supplementing with Creatine can impact mood disorders in women.\n\nHow Creatine assists in reducing the risk of depression and influencing BDNF.\n\nHow being physically active improves brain health and insulin sensitivity and contributes to metabolic health.\n\nWhat makes the Creatine Monohydrate created through MD Logic different and unique?\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\n\nFollow on \xa0Twitter, \xa0Instagram\xa0& \xa0LinkedIn\n\n\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s \xa0website\xa0\n\nConnect with\xa0Scott Emmens\xa0on LinkedIn\xa0\n\n\nConnect with Kara Lazauskas on LinkedIn
