  Creatine After 40: What It REALLY Does for Muscle, Energy & Your Brain

  Aug 24, 202655 min

  Is creatine just for bodybuilders—or could it play a bigger role in strength, muscle health, energy, and healthy aging? In Episode 113 of The Longevity Lounge , Dr. Cherine sits down with Dr. Mike to talk about what it really means to age well. Longevity isn't simply about adding years to your life. It's about building the strength, resilience, mobility, and independence to keep doing the things you love as you get older. Dr. Cherine and Dr. Mike break down the importance of maintaining muscle as we age, why resistance training matters, and where creatine monohydrate may fit into a healthy lifestyle. They also explain why creatine isn't a replacement for exercise, protein, sleep, or good nutrition—it's one piece of the bigger longevity picture. In this episode, you'll learn about: Why maintaining muscle and strength after 40 matters Creatine's role in cellular energy and exercise performance Why creatine isn't only for athletes and bodybuilders The connection between muscle, bones, metabolism, and healthy aging Strength training vs. walking—and why you may need both Why balance, power, flexibility, and endurance matter as you age Creatine considerations for women, including during perimenopause and menopause How daily movement and resistance training help build your “biological bank account” Why consistency may be one of the most important pieces of longevity Dr. Cherine and Dr. Mike also discuss creatine monohydrate , the form they highlight in the episode, along with the importance of choosing supplementation as part of a larger lifestyle strategy.

  Episode 112: Test, Don’t Guess: 4 Health Tests That Can Change How You Age | Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp

  Aug 17, 20261h 5m

  Are you taking supplements, following health trends, and trying the latest longevity strategies—but still wondering if any of it is actually working? In Episode 112 of The Longevity Lounge , Dr. Cherine sits down with Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp , chiropractor, author, health strategist, and longtime wellness expert, to break down a simple but powerful approach to longevity: Test, don’t guess. Instead of copying someone else’s supplement routine or chasing the newest health trend, Dr. Nathalie explains why understanding your own biomarkers can help you make more informed decisions about your nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, metabolic health, and healthspan. In this episode, Dr. Cherine and Dr. Nathalie discuss four key health markers: • Omega-3 Index — understanding EPA and DHA levels • Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio — looking at fatty-acid balance • Vitamin D Testing — why testing matters instead of blindly supplementing • HbA1c — what your average blood sugar can reveal about metabolic health They also dive into: • Why “normal” lab results may not tell the entire story • Functional vs. conventional approaches to laboratory ranges • Fish oil quality, oxidation, rancidity, and omega-3 supplementation • EPA, DHA, omega-3 fatty acids, and cell membrane health • Why supplement quality matters • Continuous glucose monitors and understanding your personal blood sugar response • Protein, fiber, strength training, and muscle mass • Blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity • Why lifestyle changes should come before complicated biohacking protocols • Sleep, stress, circadian rhythm, and metabolic health • The importance of retesting to find out whether what you’re doing is actually working • Why more supplementation is not always better • Building habits that support a longer healthspan , not simply a longer lifespan One of the biggest themes of this conversation is personalization. Your neighbor’s supplement routine, diet, or wellness protocol may not be what your body needs. Your numbers give you information. Your habits determine what happens next. And retesting helps you understand whether those habits are actually moving you in the right direction. Dr. Nathalie also shares why she believes aging should be viewed as a privilege—and why longevity should include strength, independence, movement, social connection, and enjoying your life rather than obsessing over every biomarker. Listen to Episode 112 of The Longevity Lounge with Dr. Cherine and Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp. Topics: longevity testing, healthspan, omega-3 index, omega-3 fatty acids, EPA, DHA, fish oil, vitamin D, HbA1c, blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, inflammation, strength training, muscle mass, healthy aging, functional medicine, nutrition, supplements, biohacking, continuous glucose monitoring Educational Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Inflammation is part of the bigger health picture. As we talk more about longevity, metabolic health, movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress, supporting a healthy inflammatory response is another piece of that foundation. One of the supplements available through Dr. Cherine is Inflammatone® by Designs for Health , a botanical and nutrient formula designed to support a healthy inflammatory response.

  Episode 111: Beyond Weight Loss: Microdosing GLP-1 Agonists & Healing Immune Activation with Dr. Marie Matheson

  Aug 10, 20261h 1m

  GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide have become synonymous with weight loss—but could their potential extend far beyond the number on the scale? In this episode of The Longevity Lounge , Dr. Cherine is joined by Dr. Marie Matheson for a fascinating conversation about GLP-1 microdosing, metabolic health, inflammation, immune regulation, muscle preservation, and longevity . Dr. Matheson shares how she approaches GLP-1 agonists differently, using significantly smaller doses in appropriately selected and monitored patients. She discusses what she has observed in her clinical practice when working with patients dealing with complex chronic illness, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, mast cell activation, Lyme disease, long COVID, fatty liver disease, and other health challenges. They also dive into an important question: Is losing weight actually making you healthier if you're losing muscle along with it? In this episode, you'll hear about: • Why GLP-1 agonists shouldn't be viewed as simply “skinny drugs” • What GLP-1 microdosing means and how it differs from conventional dosing • GLP-1s, inflammation, immune signaling, and metabolic health • Why maintaining and building muscle is critical while using GLP-1 medications • The importance of strength training for insulin sensitivity and longevity • Appetite suppression, nutrient intake, muscle loss, and potential side effects • GLP-1 receptors in the brain and their potential relationship with reward-seeking behaviors • Semaglutide vs. tirzepatide vs. retatrutide • GLP-1s and visceral fat, fatty liver, and metabolic dysfunction • Why lab testing and medical monitoring matter • Who may not be an appropriate candidate for GLP-1 therapy • Why GLP-1s should be considered a tool—not a replacement for nutrition, movement, strength training, stress management, and healthy lifestyle habits Dr. Matheson also explains why her approach focuses on finding what she calls the “Goldilocks dose” —rather than assuming more medication automatically means better results. If you've been curious about GLP-1 agonists for weight loss, microdosing GLP-1s, peptides, inflammation, metabolic health, immune function, muscle preservation, or healthy aging , this conversation offers a very different perspective on one of today's most talked-about areas of health and longevity. Learn more about Dr. Marie Matheson and Pure Peptide Collective: www.purepeptidecollective.com Important: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. GLP-1 agonists are prescription medications and should be used under the guidance of an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. Always consult your healthcare provider before making changes to medications, supplements, diet, or treatment.
