strength conditioning and strength conditioning to modern medicine. I'm your host, Dr. Jordan

Feigenbaum, and this is an episode of The Rundown where we cut through the noise and give

you the latest headlines in medicine, fitness, nutrition, and sports. I'm joined by the second

most handsome doctor in North America, Dr. Austin Baraki, and we've got a packed agenda today covering

everything from a purported

creatine overdose, which might be the first on record, to the latest on blood pressure, LeBron James doing silly stuff in the gym, and the rise of new technologies. So, Dr. Baraki, unless you have any announcements, let's get into's do it all right we're doing it so this

first one i've i saw this i i only watch a handful of sports uh and one of them happens to be golf

i know that people are like why do you watch golf because it it's the most boring sport to watch ever

that is only true if you don't play golf anyway i saw this this this interview happen live and I was like, we have to talk about this.

This guy, Ben Griffin, has had a breakout season.

He had been a, you know, kind of a journeyman golfer, professional golfer most of his career.

And now he's won multiple times on the tour.

He's on the Ryder Cup team, which happened depending on when this comes out recently.

In any case, he, in one of the playoff rounds, he had like a terrible stretch of holes.

He began with a triple bogey, which is bad if you don't play golf.

That's not good.

Followed by a double bogey, which is also bad, but less bad than the triple bogey.

And then a bogey, which is also bad, but again, less bad than the triple and the double.

So he's six over through the first three holes, which is, yeah, objectively terrible.

And he attributes this poor performance to swallowing a large amount of creatine in his shake wall after he like teed off.

He called it a rock of creatine, which it's the first time ever seen that combined together.
