Brain Fog After Travel? Let’s Talk Creatine.
After 11 days of traveling, multiple flights, changing time zones, and a packed schedule, this research definitely caught my attention!

Most of us think of creatine as a fitness supplement, but creatine also plays an important role in cellular energy—including in the brain.

Here’s where it gets interesting…
Research suggests creatine supplementation may help support certain aspects of cognitive performance when the brain is under metabolic stress, including acute sleep deprivation.
Creatine is part of the phosphocreatine system that helps regenerate ATP—one of our cells’ primary sources of usable energy.

The research is still emerging—but it opens up an interesting conversation about creatine beyond the gym.

✈️ Creatine isn't replacing the travel basics—it's potentially adding another tool to the toolkit.
☀️ Light
😴 Sleep
💧 Hydration
🥗 Nourishment
🚶 Movement
🧠 And potentially creatine for additional cognitive and cellular-energy support when sleep gets disrupted.

That's functional wellness: supporting the body from multiple directions rather than looking for one magic solution.

And this is exactly how I approach supplementation.

The goal isn't MORE supplements. It's TARGETED supplements.
Understanding the research, considering your individual needs, and making intentional choices about what actually belongs in your wellness routine.

Last stop on my crazy work tour… Gary Brecka in LA!

What a way to wrap up an incredible trip filled with speaking, facilitating, learning, and connecting!

I always enjoy hearing different perspectives on health and wellness, and today reinforced so much of what drives our work through The Healthy Family Initiative and Carolina Sunshine Wellness—the importance of becoming curious about our health, understanding how our bodies function, looking beyond symptoms, and recognizing how nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, environment, and daily habits can influence overall well-being.

From supporting healthier families and communities to helping individuals better understand their own wellness, our mission continues to be about education, empowerment, and practical tools that help people make informed choices.

Heading home inspired, energized, and ready for what’s next.

Small shifts. Big impact.

Went to see Gary Brecka today, and one of the most interesting things I noticed wasn’t even on the stage…

Not a single person was standing in the concession line. 👀

In a venue full of people, that really stood out to me.

There’s something powerful about being surrounded by a like-minded community—people who are curious, asking questions, learning, and becoming more intentional about their health and daily choices.

Our environment matters.
Our community matters.
And the people we surround ourselves with can make healthy choices feel a whole lot more normal.

I loved being in a room filled with people who are excited to learn more about their bodies and take a more proactive role in their wellness.

Small shifts. Big impact.

Watching Matt connect with music is one thing that always brings me joy! Such a fun day with homemade ice cream and a improve piano 🎹 session in downtown Nevada City!

Fun to visit the Farmer's Market right across from my old high school! Picked out some delicious and nutritious food for my travel week!
Guess what's in my bag? There might be a prize;)!
