evidence on protein intake during pregnancy, adolescence, weight loss, and while using GLP-1 agonists, addressing the concerns about mTOR, cancer risk, and reconciling protein intake with longevity research, the case for creatine, how it enhances strength and endurance performance, its overlooked benefits for cognition and brain health, and why dosing above 5 grams per day may be necessary,

and best practices for temperature, duration, and frequency, how to weigh infrared versus traditional dry saunas, and why going hotter isn't always better.

I really enjoyed this discussion with Rhonda, and I'm truly hopeful that this is the last time I need to do a podcast in a very long time that addresses some of the controversy surrounding protein intake.
#369 ‒ Rethinking protein needs for performance, muscle preservation, and longevity, and the mental and physical benefits of creatine supplementation and sauna use | Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D.
So without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Rhonda Patrick.

And I didn't realize until a few minutes ago that the last time we spoke, it was virtual.

You're still in our same former neighborhood in San Diego.

And I'm a little hesitant to say this, but I do feel like reluctantly we need to have one more discussion about a particular macronutrient that seems to get a lot of attention lately.
#369 ‒ Rethinking protein needs for performance, muscle preservation, and longevity, and the mental and physical benefits of creatine supplementation and sauna use | Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D.
And I don't necessarily want to talk about this because I think it's especially interesting or even to which there's some new study that we need to shed light on.
#369 ‒ Rethinking protein needs for performance, muscle preservation, and longevity, and the mental and physical benefits of creatine supplementation and sauna use | Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D.
But it does seem to remain somewhat surrounded in some controversy, which I will refrain from publicly speculating on why said controversy exists.
#369 ‒ Rethinking protein needs for performance, muscle preservation, and longevity, and the mental and physical benefits of creatine supplementation and sauna use | Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D.
Although privately, I'm very happy to speculate on all the reasons for it.

And we lose nitrogen through other means that is not just urine.
#369 ‒ Rethinking protein needs for performance, muscle preservation, and longevity, and the mental and physical benefits of creatine supplementation and sauna use | Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D.
I just want to state that again, because I do think there's a very important and fundamental point here that is glossed over when we talk about it, because we take it for granted.

Like if we studied biochemistry and anybody who's studied biochemistry will know this, but we can store fat in unlimited quantities.
