I've changed my mind on GLP-1s.
I've changed my mind on saunas.
I mean, I can count the list of things I've changed my mind on over the past 10 years.
If there are data that will make me change my mind, I will stand up here with a straight face and I will eat crow and I will tell you that I've changed my mind.
But I'm going to stand by my recommendation.
two grams per kilogram per day.
And my rationale, again, I explained it earlier in the podcast, but just to restate it, if you aim for two on the day you fall short, you'll still be at 1.6.
If you aim for 1.6 on the day you fall short, you'll be 1.2.
And that 1.2 won't be made up for on the next day because the downside is asymmetric compared to the upside.
So that's our recommendation clinically.
And that's how we work with real people in the real world
not on our sub stack pages to try to help them live a longer life.
I mean, no, let's never talk about this again, pending new data that fundamentally changed the way we think about it.

And that is creatine.
So should we start with, well, first of all, just tell me what got you interested in this topic?
You're not the typical demographic, no offense intended by that.
But when I was in high school, right, and I'm probably 15 years older than you, we as young boys in high school in the 80s were mainlining creatine like it was our day job.
But here's the thing.
