“A meta-analysis restricted to direct regional measures from MRI, CT, or ultrasound found a very small average hypertrophy benefit when creatine was combined with resistance training, with uncertainty around the pooled estimate and variation across sites and populations.”
Episode
“Longer endurance aerobic exercise seems to be most effective at producing higher levels of FGF21, coinciding with anecdotes you might have heard from runners who have successfully used exercise in this sort of way. Relevant publications Flippo, Kyle H., et al.”

“The fact that poor sleep is linked with the aggregation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain and Alzheimer's disease is not surprising. Although some strategies for improving the quality of sleep among people with Alzheimer's have been identified, this might be too late to turn the tide of cognitive decline.”
“Rebuilding muscle relies on proper nutrition and exercise, but aging reduces the body's response to both. Extended periods of inactivity, such as post-surgery or during illness, can rapidly deplete muscle mass, especially in older people, potentially pushing them into a "catabolic crisis."”
“Adequate, quality sleep is essential for the body's recovery and repair, promoting optimal physical and mental health. Getting a good night's sleep can be challenging, especially in our modern world, but we can take steps to overcome those challenges. In this Aliquot, we present a mashup of our best resources on sleep, featuring insights from Dr. Matthew Walker, Dr. Satchin Panda, and me.”
“Imagine a drug that improves sleep, reduces stress, sharpens focus, and boosts mood—without cost or side effects. That "drug" is light. Natural light is more than just illumination; it's a potent regulator of our body's internal clock, driving critical processes like hormone release and sleep-wake cycles.”
“Some studies suggest cheese may lower the risk of dementia and heart disease, despite its saturated fat content—raising questions about the effects of food structure, fermentation, and individual differences in metabolism.”
“But with their rise in popularity come important questions about long-term effects and safe use. In this Aliquot, I discuss how these drugs work, their pros and cons, the latest research, and lifestyle strategies to optimize their effects for long-term health.”
“In Part I of this three-part Aliquot series, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I examine creatine through the lens of two critical systems—muscle and bone—and unpack how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”
“In Aliquots #131 and #133, leading researcher Dr. Darren Candow and I examined creatine's benefits for muscle quality, physical function, skeletal health, and brain resilience, especially in older adults.”
