Creatine for Mums? The Science Behind Strength, Energy & Recovery


Listen Later

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the world… yet it’s still widely misunderstood, especially when it comes to women, postpartum recovery and motherhood.

In this episode we’re joined by nutritionist Laura from Chief Nutrition to break down everything you need to know about creatine and why it might be one of the most supportive supplements for mums.

We chat about what creatine actually does in the body, why it’s often associated with gym culture, and the emerging research showing benefits for energy, brain health, muscle recovery and overall resilience — all things mothers could use more of.

If you’ve ever wondered:
• Is creatine safe for women?
• Can it support postpartum recovery?
• Will it make me bulky?
• How much should you take?
• When is the best time to take it?

This episode answers all of your questions and clears up the confusion so you can make an informed decision for your body.

Whether you’re navigating the early postpartum period, rebuilding strength after babies, or simply trying to keep up with the demands of motherhood, this conversation is packed with practical insights you won’t want to miss.

As always, we love hearing from you. Come join the conversation over on Instagram and let us know your biggest takeaway from the episode.
