#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

Mar 31, 2025 · 01:54:26
AI Summary
  • Creatine's benefits extend far beyond strength to include cognitive resilience under stress, depression symptom mitigation, and protection against cognitive decline from sleep deprivation
  • Conventional 5g/day dosing may be insufficient; higher doses (10-25g daily) unlock additional therapeutic effects for brain health and cognitive function, with individual response variation
  • Creatine accelerates recovery between sets and provides anti-catabolic effects, preserving muscle during aging; supplementation is particularly valuable for older adults and those with vegetarian diets
