Creatine, Protein, and Perimenopause: What Women Need to Know


Listen Later

If you’ve entered perimenopause and feel like your body suddenly isn’t responding the way it used to, you’re not imagining it and you’re not broken.

I'm joined By Redefining Strength RD Michelle and we're breaking down what’s actually happening as hormones begin to shift and why strategies that once worked can suddenly fall flat. We cover the nutrition changes that matter most during perimenopause, including why protein becomes non-negotiable, how muscle loss and metabolic slowdown really happen, and why cutting calories often backfires.

We also take a deep dive into creatine...one of the most misunderstood supplements for women. You’ll learn what creatine actually does, why it doesn’t make women bulky, and how it may support strength, muscle retention, bone health, fat loss, and even mood and brain function during perimenopause and beyond.

This episode is about understanding your changing body, removing unnecessary fear around supplements, and learning how to adapt your approach instead of fighting against your physiology.

If you’ve felt frustrated, confused, or like “nothing works anymore,” this episode will give you clarity...and a better way forward.
