175. Should You Take Creatine? Real Talk on What It Is + Why Women Shouldn’t Ignore It


Listen Later

Creatine isn’t new, but it’s definitely having a moment in the online space right now!


I knew it was time to dive into my REAL, no-BS creatine facts with you here. There are sooo many myths surrounding creatine - you’ve probably heard that it’s a steroid, it makes you ‘bulky’, and it can damage your liver and kidneys. None of these are true if you’re in good health!


Creatine isn’t just for men either - there is growing research surrounding benefits for women with things like muscle growth, blood pressure, hormones, and more. 


I’ve been taking creatine pretty consistently for years, and while I’ve noticed positive effects for myself, I know it’s not something that every.single.person *needs* to take.


I’m personally really tired of all the misinformation out there, and I'm sure you are too.


I hope this episode provides you the clarity you need on this powerful supplement, and guides you toward making the best decision for YOU on your fitness journey!


In this episode, we cover:

  • What creatine *actually* is + benefits to supplementing with it
  • Common creatine myths (and why they’re flat-out wrong)
  • Creatine’s impact on women’s blood pressure & hormones
  • How creatine may support brain health, stress resilience & healthy aging
  • The best type of creatine to take + how much you need
