Ben Greenfield delivers an introductory monologue about personal growth and spirituality—emphasizing becoming more authentic and deepening personal spiritual time, especially while traveling—and briefly links sleep deprivation to brain biochemistry, claiming sleep loss reduces ATP and creatine in the brain and that phosphagen, creatine, and NAD can help replenish ATP and support cellular repair.
Obviously, life is a constant evolution. We're always transforming and always becoming the people God has called us to become, or becoming a better version of ourselves, or hopefully engaging in things that help us to just become more grounded, more dialed, more authentic, more the people we are, rather than who we think that the world expects us to be. And I think probably the thing that if you asked me, that I've most doubled down on in the past couple of years, it would have been my own personal, spiritual time, particularly when I travel. When you're sleep deprived, two things happen. You get less ATP in the brain and the creatine. The phosphagen and creatine can help to replenish that. And then the NAD assists with the cellular repair mechanisms that should have occurred when you're sleep deprived.
