Expert Positions
The Verdict
All 5 experts actively recommend creatine — and the consensus has expanded well beyond muscle. Huberman, Attia, and Patrick each feature dedicated deep dives on creatine as brain fuel for cognition under stress, sleep deprivation, and aging — not just strength and hypertrophy. Johnson includes it in his Blueprint stack; Hyman names it one of six essential daily supplements for muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, and brain health as we age. The most common worry — elevated creatinine on bloodwork — is a harmless artifact of muscle metabolism, not kidney damage.
Where They Disagree
Attia and Patrick suggest 10g/day or higher for cognitive benefits during stress, while Huberman and most other guests consistently recommend 3-5g/day as sufficient for both physical and cognitive benefits.
A recent study analyzed on Johnson's podcast suggested creatine may not be as beneficial for muscle gain as previously thought — though the hosts concluded the broader evidence still supports continued use for overall health.
