You’ve probably heard that creatine is just for men who want to bulk up, but that’s one of the biggest myths in fitness. The truth? Creatine is one of the most well-researched and effective supplements out there, not just for your muscles, but also for your brain, bones, and mood. And it’s especially powerful for women over 35, when hormonal changes start to affect our energy, recovery, and resilience. In this episode, I’m breaking down five science-backed reasons why creatine is a total game changer for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. I’ll share what the research shows, how to use it safely, and why it can help you feel stronger, sharper, and more balanced, both in and out of the gym. This is a topic that’s close to my heart. My own experience with perimenopause taught me just how much our energy, strength, and mood can shift, and how powerful it is when we learn to support our biology instead of fighting against it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why creatine isn’t just for “gym bros” How perimenopause affects your energy, focus, and metabolism The science behind ATP, your body’s “cellular battery”, and how creatine recharges it Five key ways creatine supports women over 35: energy booster, muscle protector, brain booster, bone guardian, mood stabilizer.
