259. Dr. Dan Pardi: How Creatine Supports Brain Function, Skin Health, and DNA Repair

Creatine has been boxed in as a gym-bro supplement for decades, but the latest research shows it's doing far more than building muscle. It buffers brain energy under sleep deprivation, supporting bone density and mood stability through perimenopause, and freeing up methyl groups for detoxification and DNA repair.

We dive deeper into this in the Biohacking Beauty Podcast with Dr. Dan Pardi. We also chat about why the bloating myth is backwards, how creatine and NAD work synergistically to support mitochondrial energy, and what topical creatine could mean for the future of skincare.

Dr. Dan Pardi is a researcher whose first study in the 1990s focused on creatine, and he has spent three decades following the science as it expanded from sports performance into brain health, healthspan, and women's physiology. He is the Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, where the team has earned recognition from the Nutrition Business Journal for science and innovation.

His work focuses on translating peer-reviewed research into formulations that support cellular energy, methylation, and longevity.

Let's dive in.

(36:22) The decade of creatine in women: bone density, mood, and energy fluctuations through menopause.

(42:15) Where the hair loss rumor really came from, and why creatine took the blame.

(51:08) Why 40% to 70% of your body's methylation goes to making creatine, and what that means for NAD stacking.
