OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Darren Candow

ARCHETYPE

The Reformer

Changing the system from inside it, principle turned into change.

Darren Candow reads as The Reformer because his influence rests on decades of unglamorous, disciplined work rebuilding what exercise science actually knows about creatine. Through rigorous, extensive publishing rather than rhetoric, he has overturned outdated assumptions and pushed clinical and public understanding beyond sport into brain health and ageing. Candow does not disrupt for its own sake. He renovates the evidence base from within, methodically, until the field has no choice but to update.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY REFORMER

I publish over 120 papers just on creatine alone. We've done at least 30 to 40 studies in our lab. And I can't find anybody that can't or shouldn't take creatine.

DESCRIBING RESEARCH SCOPE AND SAFETY

I would say creatine is one tool in that health promotion toolbox that might help you live longer and better and allow you to maintain activities later on in life.

MAKING CASE TO LOVED ONES

I think right now would be to promote health and make people live longer free of disease.
