Joe Rogan’s 2025 stack: Onnit creatine 5g, what science says
Dr. Bruno Rodriguez, DPT, CSCS: Strength, Recovery, and Physical Therapy Expert
Dec 30, 2025 · 10 min read
Creatine monohydrate is the most consistently performance-boosting supplement in Rogan’s stack because it raises muscle phosphocreatine to regenerate ATP during high-intensity training, while most OTC “testosterone boosters” and trendy biohacks are largely hype without a true deficiency or prescription therapy. Rogan has also talked about keeping it simple with “5 grams” of creatine per day, ...
Does testosterone increase metabolism in men?
Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
Dec 09, 2025 · 12 min read
In men with confirmed testosterone deficiency, testosterone replacement can modestly increase metabolic rate over 6–12 months, largely by adding lean muscle (which raises basal metabolic rate) and reducing visceral fat. The biggest payoff shows up when strength training, protein intake, and sleep are dialed in—and men with normal levels usually see little metabolic benefit while ...

Dr. Alexander Grant, MD, PhD: Urologist & Men's Health Advocate

In men with obesity (BMI over 30) and low testosterone, combining semaglutide with testosterone therapy can promote fat loss while helping preserve lean muscle by reducing adipose-driven aromatase conversion of testosterone to estradiol and supporting anabolic metabolism. Instead of treating weight and hormones as separate problems, this paired approach targets the feedback loop where visceral ...

In men with symptoms and consistently low testosterone (total testosterone under ~350 ng/dL, or free testosterone under ~100 pg/mL), TRT that restores levels to the mid‑normal range (~400–700 ng/dL) can increase lean muscle, reduce fat mass, and improve sexual function, with modest improvements in mood and vitality. The viral “before and after” transformations are often ...

In clinical trials of TRT for hypogonadism, libido, energy, and mood often improve within about 3–6 weeks, while erection quality and muscle/fat changes typically take 12–16 weeks and bone benefits start around 6 months. Because different tissues respond on different timelines, this guide shows what to expect month by month — and how regular 3‑month ...
