@JoseAntonioPhD can speak volumes to this. The @IntSocietySN has FREE access to thousands of position stand papers sadly few read or care to understand. When the data is clear, the studies are published, and people still refuse to adjust their thinking that’s not just stubborn, that’s ignorance. And the sad reality is that patients and clients suffer for it. I care deeply about the people we serve children, parents, athletes, and everyday individuals. That’s why I’m committed to always providing the most up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge in nutrition and supplementation. They deserve nothing less than our best as practitioners !

Editor's note: the loss of body fat over time is drivin almost exclusively by the degree of energy deficit someone is in. Removing carbohydrate increases fat oxidation, but fat loss will not occur independent of energy balance. You don't need to restrict carbs to lose fat.

Why does exercise ease back pain for some but not others? 🏋️ our new study uncovers 3 unique pain profiles in low back pain patients! 🧠💪 Tailoring rehab to these could be a game-changer! #BackPainRelief #Exercise #HealthResearch qxmd.com/r/41001699

@WillBrink They are highly regulated:)

Are Supplements Unregulated? 🤨 The claim by some is OTC nutritional supplements are unregulated, therefore, inherently less safe. Is that true? Find OUT! brinkzone.com/2023/04/are-su… #FDAapproved

Pathological cognitive decline with age is largely considered to be a brain-centric challenge. However, recent findings have begun to challenge this paradigm as the health of peripheral systems, namely skeletal muscle, predict cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. Open access paper published this week covers the current status of the literature. It is important to recognize that we do not yet know if losing muscle function will directly cause cognitive decline. Recent pre-clinical (i.e., non-human) and mechanistic findings have argued that such a thing does occur, but that doesn't always translate into humans. I suppose we shall see!

Blueberries for brainpower 🫐 This new meta-analysis compiled data from 9 studies (513 participants) to establish the effects of chronic blueberry consumption on cognitive function in elderly individuals 📚 Specifically in those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline 🧠 Here are the key findings ⬇️ Blueberry intake showed a statistically significant improvement in… 🧠 Episodic memory 🗣️ Language memory (in MCI only) No other improvements were seen across cognitive function domains (e.g. visuospatial learning, working memory etc) 🔍 Regularly blueberry intake throughout life and notably during older life can support specific areas of cognitive function 🧠 Blueberries are a natural nootropic ✅

Supplements fill gym bags, yet myths about their science & regulation refuse to die. Our legal & science team unpacked 12 big questions—FDA vs FTC oversight, safety vs OTC drugs, funding bias, and more—in this review. Evidence, not hype.#SupplementScience tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A 2025 study published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (PMID: 40587884) found that higher dietary creatine intake was associated with a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. findings: Participants consuming ≥1 gram of creatine per day from food had a 15% lower risk of death over a 20-year follow-up period compared to those consuming <1 g/day. This association remained significant after adjusting for dietary macronutrients and physical health variables, but weakened after including lifestyle and demographic factors (meaning that there is a need for more mechanistic and interventional research to support this outcome). 🥩 Food - Approximate Creatine Content (per 100 g cooked) - Beef (round)~0.9 g - Pork (loin) ~0.6–0.9 g - Salmon ~0.45 g - Herring ~0.7–1.0 g - Chicken (breast) ~0.3–0.4 g - Milk ~0.02 g per 100 mL - Eggs - Negligible To meet the recommended ≥1 g/day through diet alone, one would need to consume ~100–200 g (3.5–7 oz) of cooked red meat or fish daily. This may be challenging for older adults, vegans, or individuals with low protein intake, making supplementation a practical option in those populations. ⚠️ Limitations: - Dietary intake was estimated from a single 24-hour recall, which introduces measurement error. - The study was observational, meaning causality cannot be established. - Mortality risk was only assessed in relation to creatine from food, not supplements. - No mechanistic data were captured in the dataset. For what its worth, this study offers the strongest population-level evidence to date linking creatine intake with longevity outcomes. While observational, the findings support the consideration of creatine as a nutritionally relevant compound beyond muscle performance, especially in aging, brain health, and energy metabolism contexts.

Had a great time at the ISSN annual conference. Great science, and even better people. In this pic I am with my PhD mentor, Dr. Terry Housh, and my long time (>30yrs) great friend @JoseAntonioPhD @IntSocietySN

Strong showing for the @FSUISSM at the @IntSocietySN 2025! 1st place- PhD research poster (Sadio Fenner) 1st & 2nd MS research posters (Hannah Eberhardt & @kieranpaterson9 ) Congratulations to this hard working team! @fsuannescollege #research #science #athlete

Would like to thank International Society of Sports Nutrition (@IntSocietySN) for another great conference in Delray Beach, Florida, last month. I got to meet this legend, warrior-scholar Chris Algieri (@ChrisAlgieri), nutritionist and boxing/kickboxing champion. We had a good laugh about #PaganDietCults Just eat food.

In what I think is funny, the USDA maintains a "popcorn committee" to officially influence the pricing of popcorn around the country & perhaps the globe. This is what our tax paying dollars are used for? Popcorn pricing? public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-10469.pdf #USDA #popcorn #forreal

These studies are showing greater protein requirements are necessary for endurance athletes up to 2.0g/kg/bw/day. This is nothing new! Many of us sports dietitians that have been closely reading the @IntSocietySN position stand papers have been recommending more protein for YEARS! It is good to see more publications taking note and studies supporting the need for more protein not just in the endurance population but the inactive as well. outsideonline.com/health/nutriti…

#CreatineForHealth Creatine might serve as a helpful backup plan when ideal sleep schedules aren’t possible. This has potential benefits for students facing all-nighters, shift workers, and older adults who experience age-related sleep issues creatineforhealth.com/creatine-the-b… #BrainHealth
