Excellent conversation. I’m 51 and workout 4/5 days, I use creatinine (micronized creatinine- Optimum Nutrition) combine with my protein (Optimum nutrition) this is confirming, I’m in the right track. Dr. Lyon you are amazing! Thank you for your podcast ❤

I use 100 whey and creatin. All inflammation is gone and getting stronger every day. 5 grams a day and esting steak eggs and bacon. Im 61 years and train a power building program 3 days a week. Geting closer and closer to a 100 kg bench and a 50 kg military press

I do 1 to several mugs daily of buttered decaf coffee (water processed) with 1.25 gms of creatine monohydrate;collagen powder;vanilla bean extract (not artificial extract).Delicious and energizing (without caffeine).Diet is high in seafood and red meat but not a strict carnivore. Spreading creatine out seems to be an energy bonus and I was encouraged by the research presented to support this strategy.

Big fan, loved her book, love how she breaks things down to lay man's terms in a coherent way.... But! Gotta say...the whole embedded commercial thing in all of her vids is really making me think twice about watching her stuff.

I mix 2 tsp of creatine every morning in my morning protein bowl I make. it has 30-40 grams of protein powder, collagen scoop, goji berries, sprinkle of cashews, sweetener, cacao nibs, blueberries, 3 tsp EAAs. I'm 47 Year old female, 150lbs, 5'3. Building muscle with weights. Walk and rebound . I do try for 120-150 grams of protein every day I hope that's good 🙏 I'll try and add another tsp or two later in the day

Goji berries, cashews and cacao are all high in oxalates. Eating these foods every morning could definitely damage your kidneys particularly if you also eat other foods high in oxalates like spinach, sorrel, almonds, rhubarb, peanuts, star fruit... Oxalates crystals (needle like) can also form in your muscle, tendons, fascia, ligaments, vulve, arteries, lungs, brain... Search for Sally Norton videos on YT or Liam Hemsworth.

Herring, mackerel, and salmon are also the highest sources of omega-3. It would be interesting to see a study of the possible synergistic affects of omega-3, protein, and creatine. There’s some evidence that omega-3 is anabolic and anti catabolic. I know I’d find something on that interesting.

@glenntimberlake2413 2 ай бұрын

And check out the taurine in those fish and other fish and shellfish. Excellent protein sources. And omega 3 sources.

@danielflynn8118 5 ай бұрын

Creatine Monohydrate is the most studied form so has the most science to back up its effectiveness.

Watch your kidneys with creatine supplementation. Do a renal panel to check on kidney function.

@koyamogodztv14 7 ай бұрын

Increased creatinine count is an expected outcome as it is a byproduct of creatine metabolism. What's misleading It doesn't always mean kidney damage. It's like saying that drinking lots of water and gaining weight means water made you fat.

@sgill4833 6 ай бұрын

Creatine increases eGFR. E stands for estimated. Because it's not actually measuring Kidneys function, it's measuring serum creatinine and giving a estimate of kidney function which is only relevant when Creatine is not ingested.

Oh neat! I recently wrote a paper during my bachelor's on creatine which included some of Candow's work. So really cool to see this video come by in my feed. I focused on creatine's role in fertility and improving infertility. Shortly after I wrote my paper, a lady from a class I was teaching came up to me excited to tell me about finally getting pregnant (she was struggling with infertility for a while). She said it was due to supplementing with creatine. There's like, 5 people working in this area. The research is limited but I think it's important.

I'm curious the effects are the same for women who are in post menopause due to total hysterectomy is their early 40s as to those of women in natural post menopause.

So if I understand this correctly, because I am carnivore and get 140 grams minimum of protein a day and am 60/post menopausal and CrossFit, walk, bike & pickleball?, I don’t need to supplement with creatine monohydrate?

@mysticIvy324 7 ай бұрын

Coffee makes it lose fluid, and creatine makes you retain fluid. They have opposite effects. Do coffee in the mornings and creatine in the evening.

@glenntimberlake2413 2 ай бұрын

@@mysticIvy324 Do Creatine just before and or just after exercise. I don’t think I would be too concerned about the coffee. The caffeine may give you a better pump and energy during exercise. Make sure you get enough electrolytes. Because you will be losing minerals through sweating and urination.

1 pound of steak gives you the recommended creatine you need to have for whatever muscle building regimen you are own. But you can't sell supplements with that can you Gabrielle?

@danielflynn8118 5 ай бұрын

The U.S.average cost of a pound of steak is $11. 66 as of April of 2024. If you ate steak every day that would cost you almost $350 per month. A six-month supply of Creatine Monohydrate will cost you around $35 from several suppliers on Amazon.

How may people eat a pound of steak every day? Not most people. Even huge weight lifters and body builders and football players use Creatine. Almost all athletes…

Just a little realistic rant: Let’s be real. I live in Texas. We are in the USA. Common language usage throughout the USA is not generally kg. It is pounds. This is not UK and other countries. Get real. When we want measurements in English we want the American English we speak and think in every day. Most of us think in pounds when it comes to measuring weight. Adults and children. We teach it in school. Kg is the system we learn in science that is foreign to our everyday experience. So when you use kg remember to use the approximate weight in pounds and not take it for granted that everyone knows the conversion factor and is assimilating the info the same as people who think in terms of kg. Thanks. Just a suggestion for the know it alls who can’t communicate in regular American, non-metric based English. Some people within interviews actually take that into consideration and remind us what the measurement is in metric and English. Kg and pounds. I can convert it, but not everybody can. Nevertheless, plain speech to me and many is what we read on our scales and how we think and speak. I have never heard anybody at schools, church, work, etc. whose “normal speak” about their weight or other measurements use anything but pounds and ounces. Not even when they weigh us in the Dr.s offices or hospital. Come on.
