Creatine: Hype or Helpful? A Nutritionist’s Take


Listen Later

Creatine isn’t just for gym junkies and bodybuilders — but is it really all it’s cracked up to be? In this episode of Barely Balanced, we’re breaking down creatine from a clinical nutritionist’s perspective.

We’ll cover:

  • What creatine actually is (spoiler: your body already makes it!)

  • The science-backed benefits beyond muscle growth

  • Common myths that need to be left in the 90s

  • How to dose it safely (and whether you really need to “load”)

  • What to look for in a quality brand

If you’ve been curious about whether creatine deserves a place in your daily routine — or you’ve been side-eyeing that white powder in the supplement aisle — this chat is for you.
