Ben explains how creatine is far more than a muscle-building supplement. It plays a critical role in cellular energy production, metabolism, fat burning, brain function, recovery, and healthy aging. You’ll learn why sodium, hydration, and meal timing dramatically affect creatine absorption, how creatine supports ATP production and mitochondrial health, and what recent studies reveal about its ability to improve body composition and metabolic function. Ben also shares the most common creatine mistakes, the best way to take it for maximum absorption, and why proper supplementation may help fight brain fog, low energy, stubborn belly fat, and age-related muscle loss. This episode is packed with practical strategies and science-backed insights to help you use creatine effectively for longevity, energy, and metabolic health after 40.
