Harvard-trained physician Dr. Andrew Salzman says that's backwards: the organ with the highest creatine demand isn't your muscles — it's your brain. In this episode, Ben and Dr. Salzman break down why your brain is quietly starving for creatine, how creatine actually shuttles energy inside every cell, and why the trendy NAD IV drip may be a waste of your money. What we get into: Why your brain — not your muscles — has the highest demand for creatine Creatine as your cells' \"FedEx truck\": how it delivers ATP energy where it's needed The link between low creatine and neurodegeneration (Parkinson's, Alzheimer's) and age-related brain fog Why NAD IV therapy is \"pretty much useless\" — the molecule can't even get into your cells The kidney myth: why creatine doesn't wreck your kidneys, and is actually essential for them Why you should NEVER mix creatine into a hot coffee Do you really need to \"load\" creatine? (Dr. Salzman's answer may surprise you) Creatine's surprising role in gut health, leaky gut, and vision One line to remember: creatine is the FedEx truck of your cells — no truck, no delivery.
