Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s one of the most overlooked, science-backed nootropics for brain optimization, neuroplasticity, mitochondrial energy, and total human performance. This episode reveals why creatine is a non-negotiable supplement for anyone serious about biohacking, longevity, and cognitive upgrades. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey breaks down the myths and truths about creatine, uncovering how it enhances memory, supports your mitochondria, regulates mood, strengthens bones and heart function, and even aids fetal brain development during pregnancy. Drawing from decades of functional medicine, real-world biohacks, and new research featured in the Wall Street Journal, Dave explains how creatine works not only as a muscle booster but as a universal cellular fuel that supports brain benefits, memory improvement, and sleep optimization. You’ll learn how to harness creatine for everything from mental performance and mood regulation to faster recovery and better metabolism. Dave covers creatine dosage and timing, how to use creatine loading versus maintenance protocols, and how to enhance creatine absorption by mixing it with hot water or pairing it with glucose and protein to leverage insulin-sensitive pathways. He also shares next-level stacking strategies by combining creatine with caffeine (including Danger Coffee), beta-alanine, nitrates, and electrolytes to maximize both mental and physical results. Whether you’re using creatine for brain energy, sprint power, cold therapy performance, or cognitive resilience, this episode delivers practical tools you won’t hear anywhere else. If you’re following a carnivore diet, in ketosis, experimenting with fasting, or just want to feel sharper and more energized, creatine fits right in. Dave also explores cutting-edge options like GAA creatine, creatine HCL, and intranasal delivery systems, along with key nutrient pairings like TMG and folinic acid to support methylation and avoid side effects. Plus, he explains why vegetarians and vegans may need creatine the most. This is your complete guide to creatine brain benefits, mitochondrial support, memory enhancement, and smarter not harder living.
