In this episode, Ben Azadi explains why creatine isn’t just for muscle growth. It plays a key role in fueling your brain by supporting ATP, your body’s energy currency. When you’re sleep deprived, your brain produces less energy, which leads to slower thinking, poor memory, and reduced focus. New research shows that higher doses of creatine, around 20 to 25 grams, can rapidly improve cognitive performance in sleep-deprived individuals. While 5 grams daily helps over time, it may not be enough when your brain is under stress. Ben shares a simple strategy: use 5 to 10 grams daily as a baseline, and increase to higher doses on days when sleep is poor, stress is high, or performance matters most. The key takeaway?You don’t need more motivation. You need more usable brain energy. Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
