A landmark study on creatine and brain health has just been published, shedding new light on the potential cognitive benefits of this widely used supplement. Creatine, often associated with athletic performance and muscle growth, may have profound implications for brain health as well. Here are the 5 key takeaways from the largest study to date:

Improved Cognitive Function: Creatine supplementation has been shown to enhance memory, learning, and overall cognitive performance, particularly in tasks requiring short-term memory.
Neuroprotection: The study suggests that creatine may protect brain cells from damage and oxidative stress, potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Mental Fatigue Reduction: Participants who took creatine experienced less mental fatigue, improving focus and concentration during mentally demanding tasks.
Enhanced Brain Energy: Creatine plays a key role in ATP production, providing the brain with more energy to perform cognitive tasks efficiently.
Potential in Aging: The study suggests that creatine could help mitigate age-related cognitive decline by supporting brain energy levels and function.

These findings open up new possibilities for using creatine beyond physical fitness, with the potential to enhance cognitive function and protect brain health.

This week is International Brain Week!! 🧠

COLD LASER AND THE BRAIN

Based on the current trend, within the next 10 years, every other person will suffer from neurodegeneration associated with dementia and Alzheimer’s. The red laser has been shown to break down the amyloid plaque associated with dementia and Alzheimer’s and give the brain cells the energy needed to flush this out. The violet laser kills infections that may be associated with these plaques.

Low Level Laser Therapy:
🧠Enhances memory and learning after head injury by increasing nitric oxide in the brain which increases oxygen to brain cells.
🧠Protects the blood brain barrier and reduces brain inflammation by increasing blood flow and oxygen to all lobes of the brain.

This Functional MRI shows increased circulation and brain activity in the brain immediately after using the Erchonia Laser. The sequence of photos show the brain lighting up after exposure to this therapy!

Laser therapy can be an essential piece to your health and wellness.
Be sure to follow our posts this week to see what all you can do to help your brain!

Interesting concepts that came out of Sinnott's - Textbook of Chiropractic Philosophy this week.

1. Health comes from inside the patient.
2. "Pain is the bodies way of applying breaks to conscious behavior"
- meaning a natural way of telling you that something is wrong- that make you pause and assess your body.
- Are you paying attention to your bodies alarm system?
4. There are two factors of disease
-the first is deficiency and the second is toxicity.


Todays philosophy quote comes from Clarence Gonstead, DC

"Medicine is the study of disease and what causes man to die
Chiropractic is the study of life and what causes man to live."

Philosophy Monday

Rob Sinnott's, Textbook of Chiropractic Philosophy Vol 1, the definition of chiropractic is as follows

Chiropractic is a philosophy, science and art of things natural; a system of adjusting the segments of the spinal column by hand only, for the correction of the cause of dis-ease.
- Rob Sinnott, DC, DPhCS

The word chiropractor breaks down from Greek roots: "chiro" (from cheir) meaning "hand", and "practor" (from praktos or praktikos) meaning "done" or "practical", essentially meaning "done by hand".

Please share. Watch for tomorrow post!

We really appreciate this analogy of a safety pin! The body- brain dynamic makes sense when you open and close it. Your brain has to be communicating with your body and the only it does that is through your spine.

Adjusted = connected brain and body
Subluxations= disconnected brain and body

What other household objects do you think you can find this weekend that reflect this dynamic?

Let us know in the comments!
