The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

I mean, the brain is a small part of the body, but it's massively outsized in terms of the energy that it consumes.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And so think about if you're actually healing the ability for it, like if it's just sucking even more disproportionate energy from the body.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And just think about how much the rest of the body works to support the brain, like the liver is working all day long to make the brain get enough energy.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

So, yeah, there's no way that healing from a brain injury is not taking a toll systemically.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

That's impossible.

The Joe Rogan Experience

I mean, creatine is one of the ones that's been demonstrated to do that.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And it's been studied 20 grams a day.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

I don't think anyone really knows, like, do you need 20 is 30 better could have been done with five.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

But the most of the brain research is being done with doses around 20 grams.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And there's the thought is that.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

the muscles are gonna take first dibs and you need to have a high dose to get it to the brain.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

There's a lot we don't know about that, but as a default, if I was healing from a traumatic brain injury,

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

I would take the creatine.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And then I think if you have something that's this serious, you do want to know what your limiting bottlenecks are.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

So I think actually doing mitochondrial testing, one of the applications would be like, oh, now it's really important that I have a six month window where I need to maximize everything I can

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And so testing to understand your unique needs I think would be a way to supercharge that process when it's needed.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And I think that there are โ€“ so to take this back to like what can people do in general, I think methylene blue you mentioned is one of those ones where like I wouldn't even โ€“ I personally wouldn't even take it without testing showing that I need it.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

But CoQ10 is an interesting one because CoQ10 is actually made โ€“

in the body and it is found in food.
