Creatine is one of the most studied supplements in the world — but it’s still surrounded by myths. In this episode of It’s Pretty Simple, I explain what creatine actually is, how it works with your body’s energy system (ATP), and why creatine monohydrate is the best option to take daily.

We’ll cover:

• What “water retention” really means (and why it’s actually a good thing)

• Do you need to cycle creatine? (spoiler: no!)

• The brain benefits: focus, mental energy, and even protection in contact sports

• Why creatine isn’t just for athletes — it has health benefits outside the gym too

🎧 Whether you’re lifting, running, or just want more energy and focus day-to-day, creatine could be the simplest supplement to add to your routine.

Why does it feel harder to lose fat — especially belly fat as an Indian Woman when you're eating a traditional Indian diet?

This week on It’s Pretty Simple, I’m joined by fellow nutritionist Zankriti to unpack the real reasons Desi women struggle with fat loss, muscle gain, bloating, and confusing advice around dairy, carbs, protein, and weight.

If you're:
✔️ Eating home-cooked vegetarian food
✔️ Avoiding junk
✔️ Still not seeing results...

This episode is for you.

We cover:
✅ The biggest mistakes with Indian vegetarian meals
✅ Why belly fat is so stubborn in South Asians
✅ Lactose intolerance: fact or myth?
✅ The obsession with the scale and why body composition matters more
✅ What to do if you're taking medications like Ozempic or Manjaro
✅ How to strength train as a Desi woman — and stop fearing protein
✅ How emotional eating, food guilt, and family culture impact your results

This is a must-listen for every Indian woman in her 30s+ trying to break generational cycles and build a strong, sustainable body without giving up her culture.

This week on It’s Pretty Simple, I’m breaking down how to structure your workouts if you want real results—and not just random sweat sessions.

While it’s amazing that you're moving your body (especially as a beginner!), there’s only so far random workouts can take you. To actually build strength, burn fat, shape your body, and move better in real life, you need smart programming.

In this episode, I walk you through:

• Why compound lifts should come first

• How to add isolation exercises strategically

• The role of functional training for real life (whether you’re a runner, a mom, a dentist, or anyone in between)

• How to apply progressive overload properly

• The movement patterns you need to hit weekly

You'll learn how I program for my clients—and how you can start training with purpose, without spending hours in the gym or guessing what to do.

✨ If you're tired of feeling stuck, frustrated, or not seeing results, this episode is for you.
