So creatine isn't just the bodybuilding set.

There's so many different health benefits and it keeps coming out with more and more research to show how beneficial creatine is.

I know, but it's not a protein as we think about it.

Like you'll see all these collagen protein.

It doesn't count as dietary protein for muscle development.

It depends on what you're looking for.

Yeah, exactly.

And Mike Ornsby out of University of Southern Florida, he has been doing quite a bit of research on collagen and joint pain and found that there is some efficacy in taking the type 2 collagen to reduce joint pain.

It doesn't help with cartilage regeneration.

It doesn't help with osteoarthritis, but it does dampen inflammation and joint pain.

So again, it depends on what you want to use it for.

And even if we're not looking from a fertility standpoint, you can't invoke any kind of metabolic or body composition change without adequate sleep.

So that's what I mean.

It's like when we're talking about the pillars and sleep being one of the first things we have to work on, you can't invoke any kind of change.

We're not talking about ambient induced sleep.

I think we all got through it.

I was telling some of my earlier phases.

And I would be interested to see your glucose monitor when you first used it, because that's how we can kind of navigate sleep too, is showing hypoglycemic effects for women who are exercising in perimenopause and not eating enough.

This one would be interesting to see, like, what is her daily, like, what are her daily habits?

If we can kind of bring calorie intake and all those things back into the day so she's not phase shifting.
