When you hear the word creatine, do you picture bulky bodybuilders and gym bros? I used to as well—until I started lifting weights myself and kept hearing about its potential benefits beyond muscle.

In this episode, I break down the science of creatine in simple, practical terms. We’ll cover what it actually is, how it works as a quick energy backup system, and why it might be worth considering in midlife. Beyond its well-known role in helping with strength and recovery, creatine has also been studied for brain health, menopause-related brain fog, concussion recovery, and even mood. But what does the evidence really say?

I’ll walk you through what’s fact, what’s hype, and what’s still unknown, along with the safety basics, common side effects, and how to take it if you decide to give it a try.

If you’ve ever wondered whether creatine belongs in your midlife health toolkit, this episode will help you make an informed choice without the noise of social media trends.
