Creatine, if you're not training, isn't going to make you gain muscle mass or strength.

Oh, really?

20 plus years.

Oh, you should be doing 10 grams a day.

Try it out and let me know.

I'm going to.

For one, your training volume and recovery, you should notice an effect there where it's like you'll, like I said, one to two more reps per set.

Recovery is easier, but I'm really interested in the brain.

And again, I am totally like, could be placebo.

If I don't get my 10 grams in the day, I will have an afternoon slump.

If I get my 10 grams, I am good.

I am good.

So I, by the way, I did my PhD at St.

Jude Children's Research Hospital, which is the leading research center for pediatric cancer.

And, you know, they've done phenomenal work in lowering, you know, the death rate of pediatric cancers, which are predominantly leukemias, lymphomas, glioblastomas.

And I would tend to agree, depending on the cancer type, you know, different chemotherapies are more effective.

Now, and I would say for leukemias, lymphomas, things that are blood cancers, that's where it's effective because it's easy for the chemotherapy to reach

those cells, right, in the blood.

It's easy for it to reach the cells.

When you're talking about a solid tumor in the liver, in the pancreas, you know, in the breast, it's a different story because tumor cells become hypoxic, so they cut off the circulation to get to them.
