Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi

Everyone's Taking Creatine. Here's What They're Getting Wrong.


Listen Later

Everyone's talking about creatine. Your trainer mentioned it. Your friend swears by it. It's all over social media.

But here's what nobody's telling you: almost everything you're hearing was studied in 20-year-old male athletes whose bodies work completely differently than yours.

So what does the research actually say for YOU—a woman in hormonal transition?

This week, we break down the emerging science on creatine specifically for perimenopausal and menopausal women. The brain fog connection. The mood research. The muscle and bone data. And the one thing that determines whether creatine will help you—or make you feel worse.

Listen now to learn:

  1. What happens to your body's creatine production when estrogen declines—and why women start with 70-80% lower stores than men
  2. How creatine supports your mitochondria—the "power plants" we discussed in Week 1
  3. The cellular hydration truth: why creatine doesn't cause bloating (and what's actually happening in your cells)
  4. Why the same creatine dose helps one woman and scatters another—and how your constitution determines your response

This is Week 3 of our four-week Energy series. All episodes—including your personalized dosha prescription—are free through February 7th. Starting February 8th, the dosha-specific episodes become part of the paid subscription.

Finally—medicine that fits you.
