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.
