So clearly protein isn't killing them.

In fact, they're living longer than the general population.

So again, it comes down to that exercise is the king, right?

Exercise is the most important thing, but you need a protein to support that physical activity.

And I don't understand why anyone's arguing about that.

What's the argument?

Yeah.

Is there anything else with the protein?

You just made a really important point, and I'll talk about my journey in a minute.

And that is, it's one of the most well-studied sports-related supplements ever.

There's just decades and decades of research out there on creatine.

A lot of it has to do with muscle.

We'll talk about the brain, which is my interest.

But it's one of the tried and true.

I mean, it's safe.

I don't know that there's any other sports supplement out there that's as safe as creatine.

I don't think there is.

That's an important point.

My journey with it began with my obsession with increasing my resistance training.

Everything that we talked about in the first half of this episode, where I realized that I was so focused on endurance training for long-term health, for brain health, that I sort of neglected my muscle mass and thinking about how important muscle mass was for long-term health.
