Have your heard the media talk about how 50 is the “new” 30, and 60 is the new “40″? Sometimes I like to believe that true. At 52, (OK, just about done being 52), I feel like I can run around, eat and drink like I did at 32.

Although creatine offers an array of benefits, most people think of it simply as a supplement that bodybuilders and other athletes use to gain strength and muscle mass. Nothing could be further from the truth.
A substantial body of research has found that creatine may have a wide variety of uses. In fact, creatine is being studied as a supplement that may help with diseases affecting the neuromuscular system, such as muscular dystrophy (MD). Recent studies suggest creatine may have therapeutic applications in aging populations for wasting syndromes, muscle atrophy, fatigue, gyrate atrophy, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and other brain pathologies. Several studies have shown creatine can reduce cholesterol by up to 15% and it has been used to correct certain inborn errors of metabolism, such as in people born without the enzyme(s) responsible for making creatine. Some studies have found that creatine may increase growth hormone production.

Summer is just around the corner. Along with it comes the time to get in your bathing suits and go to the beach.
But, wait a minute! Do I hear that can’t do because some of the flab gained over the holidays is still on your waist?
If that is the case, forget about the infomercials that promise quick results without any effort, as there is no thing as a free lunch. The good news however, is that you do not need to send me 4 payments of $59.99 for the secrets on how to lose those pounds of fat.
In this article, I cover what needs to be done with your diet. Don’t worry; I won’t take your carbs away or stick you with a liquid or celery diet. If you want a summer body and have the determination necessary to do what it takes to get it, I describe the path that will lead to it.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves in the fitness industry… So many men and women “think” they need to workout drastically different from
one another.
For example, many women think they need to do 20 or 30 reps per set of every exercise with little pink 3 or 5 lb barbie weights, because if
they actually lift heavier weights, they falsely believe they will “bulk up”.

One topic that seems to be a never-ending source of confusion is blood, or more precisely, understanding blood work and which tests to get and why. It never fails to amaze me that the vast majority of bodybuilders and other athletes have no issue spending literally thousands of dollars on supplements (some of which have virtually no science behind them to justify their use) and gym memberships each year, but won’t spend a penny on blood tests to see what’s really going on with their hormones and other indicators of health (e.g., cholesterol, liver function, etc.).
