So if we're looking at fasted training, then we're already increasing the amount of lean mass that our body's going to break down to use as fuel.

That's part of our hypothalamus.

That's a good way of wrapping it up.

Yeah.

It's not that we don't have blood glucose.

It's low blood glucose and no nutrients coming in that the hypothalamus is sensing.

So we're looking at neuropeptide responses within the brain, within the hypothalamus that controls appetite hormone, the way that your body's using fuel.

So if we don't have stuff coming in, the hypothalamus is like, oh, wait a second.

What's going on here?

More complex.

It's complex.

It's complex and more stress resilient.

It's very much stress resilient.

Because if we can't afford to keep you healthy, then we definitely can't afford to grow a baby and keep you healthy.

Going on detox wellness retreats?

Yeah, that's the old school thought.

When we're thinking about creatine and how it got its chops in the supplement world, we're looking at muscle performance.

And taking five grams four times a day with some carbohydrate to enhance muscle performance is how it started.

But when you start really disseminating down into the health aspects of creatine, creatine is used in every fast energetic of the body.

So that means your brain, your heart, your gut, muscle, everything that requires energy from zero to 30 seconds, creatine is involved.
