Down the Health Rabbit Hole with Katie 🐇

Creatine: Not Just for Bodybuilders

I went down another health rabbit hole this week about creatine, because it’s one of the most misunderstood supplements out there.

Most people think creatine is just for bodybuilders, but it’s actually one of the most studied supplements in sports nutrition.

Creatine helps replenish ATP, which is the primary energy source our muscles use during short bursts of activity like lifting weights or sprinting.

I started taking it when I got back into the gym and noticed a few things pretty quickly:
• increased strength
• better endurance during workouts
• faster recovery

Bonus rabbit hole: newer research suggests creatine may also support brain energy metabolism and cognitive performance.

I just mix mine in water in the morning before I work out. It has almost no flavor — just a little chalky.

Question for the group:
Did anyone else grow up thinking creatine was only for huge gym guys?

Magnesium Glycinate: The Supplement That Fixed My Sleep

I went down another health rabbit hole recently… this time about why some people sleep great and others lie in bed with their brains running a full committee meeting at 10:47 PM 🏃🏼‍♀️🤯

Turns out magnesium plays a huge role in nervous system regulation and muscle relaxation, and many people are actually low in it.

Magnesium glycinate is often recommended for sleep because it’s paired with glycine, an amino acid that has calming properties.

About 20–30 minutes before bed I take magnesium glycinate, go do my usual routine (check on the boys 🙏🏼💙, dogs 🐕, doors, brush teeth 🪥, etc.), and by the time my head hits the pillow I’m usually out within minutes - this annoys Don 😁

My brain used to run through every random thought imaginable at night. Now it’s like the off switch finally works.

I personally use magnesium glycinate from Thorne because their supplements are well-tested and have very clean ingredients. Which is one of the reasons I became a Thorne ambassador, the other is for free products to supplement my supplements💊😉 Bonus, if you click on my referral link you'll get 10% off.

Curious…
Has anyone else noticed magnesium helping their sleep?

A few friends, family, and coworkers have asked what supplements I take and why, so I figured I’d share it here.

Fair warning… the list looks a little intense 😆
But I didn’t start all of these at once. I’ve added things over time based on what actually makes a difference for me.

I research things pretty heavily before I add anything to our routine, so these are the ones that have stuck.

The ones I personally would not skip:

• Glutathione
• Vitamin D3 + K2
• Creatine
• Magnesium Glycinate
• AgeMate Longevity Blend

Other ones I like:

• Collagen
• NAC

Here’s the short version of why I take them:

Glutathione – Often called the body’s master antioxidant. I personally notice less brain fog, better focus, and a mood boost. I also started giving it to Jonny because of the medications he’s on and his history of multiple surgeries.

Vitamin D3 + K2 – These work together because K2 helps move calcium into bones instead of arteries. Since we started consistently taking these, sickness in our house has noticeably dropped. Considering Oliver goes to school, and Jonny and Joey work at Urban Air (aka germ central), I’ll take that as a win.

Creatine – I started this when I got back into the gym and have seen improvements in strength, endurance, and muscle definition. It helps your muscles produce energy during workouts and is one of the most researched supplements out there.

Magnesium Glycinate – This one has been amazing for sleep. Magnesium helps relax muscles and calm the nervous system. I take it about 20–30 minutes before bed and fall asleep more easily now.

AgeMate Longevity Blend – I’ve been taking this for about 4 months, and it’s probably the supplement I feel the most. Not a caffeine energy… more like you suddenly realize you’re way more productive than usual. Tip: start with the half-dose as the directions say (I learned that the hard way).

Collagen – I mostly take this as an easy way to get extra protein. It also supports hair, skin, nails, joints, and gut health.

NAC – NAC helps your body produce glutathione and supports liver detoxification, lungs, and antioxidant protection. I don’t necessarily “feel” this one, but it supports a lot behind the scenes.

For me, supplements aren’t magic — they’re just tools that support overall health along with good food, exercise, sleep, and lifestyle habits.

I’m definitely not a doctor — just someone who enjoys researching health and figuring out what works for my family.

I’m curious…

What is ONE supplement you swear by?

So, I jumped on the bandwagon and asked ChatGPT to roast me in one sentence.
Hilarious 😂

I'm interested in hearing what all my veterans think about this...

I understand that with any organization, there might be a few that try to take advantage of the situation. But, I honestly do not think the vast majority of veterans are fraudulent to the VA about their disabilities. In all actuality, I feel that disabilities are underreported or not taken seriously by the VA.

Yesterday, VA quietly issued an interim final rule that immediately changes how veterans’ disability ratings are evaluated: no notice, no explanation, no debate. Trump's VA Secretary Collins did not consult VSOs or Congress before acting.

Veterans earned their benefits through service and sacrifice. The VA Secretary’s oath is to serve them. Not narrow the rules to take away those benefits.

It's always nice to get a different perspective of what's going on with our senators/representatives up in Tallahassee.

My office went about a month ago with Florida Realtors and there were no proposed bills for property taxes.

Mack Busbee with the Okaloosa Property Appraiser's office was just up there and, now, it looks to be about 25 bills. Whether or not they go anywhere is a different subject entirely.

This post was supposed to be just about 9/11. However, we have suffered a terrible tragedy in the loss of Charlie Kirk to someone that is evil. We will remember Charlie Kirk and 9/11 Day.
