Creatine is one of the most studied and effective supplements for your body and your brain.

But the benefits change depending on the dosage.

Here's the benefits (and drawbacks) you'll experience at different dosages of creatine: Image
5 Grams Per Day: The Gold Standard

This is the dose that’s been studied for decades.

It boosts strength, lean muscle, and recovery by increasing cellular energy (ATP).

You’ll also see gradual improvements in working memory, mood stability, and mental clarity.
At 5 grams per day:

- Increases muscle mass & power output
- Improves recovery between workouts
- Enhances focus & resistance to mental fatigue
- Slightly improves mood & reduces depressive symptoms in some people

It’s the foundation. Think of it as your daily baseline.

8 tests that predict how long you'll live (90% of people fail #8):
Test 1: Metabolic Health Markers

Waist to height ratio: under .5
Fasting glucose: under 100 mg/dL
HbA1c: at or below 5.6
FFMI: above 18 (men) / 15 (women)

This is the foundation. Every other test builds on it.
Test 2: Sit-to-Stand Power Test

From a chair, stand up and sit back down 5 times. No hands. Under 12 seconds.

Power declines faster with age than strength does. Most people in their 40s assume they'll pass this easily.

Try it with a timer before you decide.

The Top 4 Most Underrated Supplements

1) CoQ10
2) Glycine
3) L-theanine
4) Psyllium husk

Here's why 👇🏼
1) Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Your mitochondria need this to produce energy.

Without it, your cells run on fumes.

Here's the issue: CoQ10 levels drop as you age. And if you're on a statin, they drop even faster.

Supplementing can improve energy, heart health, and exercise recovery.
How to take CoQ10:

Take 100-200mg daily with a meal containing fat. Fat increases absorption significantly.

Use the ubiquinol form if you're over 40. It's more bioavailable than ubiquinone.

Most people notice improved energy within 2-4 weeks.

If I woke up 20 pounds overweight and needed to lose it all by summer, this is EXACTLY what I'd do:

1. Stop eating at least 3-5 hours before bed. Set a hard stop. This prevents horrible food decisions and improves the quality of your sleep, which regulates hunger the next day.
2. Multiply your bodyweight by 12. That will be your daily calorie intake.

3. Multiply your bodyweight by .7, and that will be the daily grams of protein you need to eat to maintain/build muscle while burning fat.

4. To keep it easy, focus on hitting your calories and protein.
5. Fill your daily nutrition with these foods:

Greek yogurt
Water, coffee, and tea
Lean ground beef (extra-lean if you can)
Chicken breast and thighs
Turkey (ground or breast)
Fatty fish
Eggs and egg whites
Cottage cheese
Leafy greens
Potatoes​
Shellfish
Beans and lentils
Berries
Apples, oranges, kiwi, and grapefruit for higher-fiber fruit
Green cruciferous vegetables
Other high‑volume veg (cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, asparagus, cucumbers)

8 health trends that need to die in 2026:

1) Cold plunging.

Good for dopamine but studies show it blunts muscle growth and it doesn't improve recovery in a meaningful way.

For most people it's become a virtue signaling marathon on Instagram rather than an actual health tool.
2) Extreme "clean eating."

The moment you label food "clean" or "dirty" you've started a war with your plate.

I've watched this push people into disordered eating and social isolation.

You can be lean and healthy eating whole foods diet with room for your favorite foods.
3) Obsessive biohacking gadgets.

CGMs when you're not diabetic. 4 wearables on your wrist. Biofeedback devices on your nightstand.

You're turning normal body variation into anxiety.

Steps. Sleep. Weights. Nature. That covers 90% of the game. Stop overcomplicating it.

1 in 3 Americans are insulin resistant and it's silently killing them from the inside.

What most don't realize is you can reverse it in 3 to 6 months without a single medication.

Here's the exact protocol on how to do it (bookmark this): Image
8 Warning Signs of Insulin Resistance

1. Excess belly fat
2. Brain fog
3. Constant hunger
4. Low energy
5. High inflammation
6. High blood pressure
7. High blood sugar
8. High Triglycerides
It's a sign of high glucose and high insulin.

Your cells ignore insulin's signal to absorb glucose thus your body pumps out more insulin to compensate.

The result is fat storage, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and type 2 diabetes.

The good news is this is fixable with the right systems.
