The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

Yes.

#369 β€’ 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 was already like, first of all, the literature was clear with the muscle.

The Peter Attia Drive

There's a lot of literature.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

You can't deny it.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

You just can't.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

Exactly.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

Right.

The Peter Attia Drive

And when we're talking about 40 years or whatever of research, that's a lot of data.

The Peter Attia Drive

With the brain, so for one, your brain does make a little bit of creatine as well, something I don't remember.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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 think it's somewhere between one to three grams a day.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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 the data on the effects of supplemental creatine on the brain isn't dating back as far.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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 so you do have to kind of take the data with someone of a grain of salt because there's a lot of small studies and they're not like, you can't hang your hat on it.

This is the end all be all.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

Okay, well, first, let's talk about dose because that's important.

And I think that that was where initially when researchers were looking into like the effects of creatine on the brain, the five grams a day didn't seem to be doing anything in terms of getting creatine into the brain.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

It is.

The Peter Attia Drive

However, the muscles are greedy as hell.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

Yeah, the greedy muscles.

The Peter Attia Drive
#369 β€’ 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.

When you're taking in up to about five grams of creatine, they're consuming it.

The Peter Attia Drive

They're taking their share.
