Well Beyond 40

The Ultimate Creatine Guide for Midlife Energy and Focus


Listen Later

I'm breaking down everything you need to know about creatine - the game-changing supplement that's not just for bodybuilders anymore. As women over 40, we're dealing with changing metabolism, declining muscle mass, and energy dips that can make us feel like we're fighting an uphill battle. But here's what I've discovered: creatine isn't just about gym performance. It's your cellular battery booster that can sharpen your brain when you're sleep-deprived, help you recover faster from workouts, and even ease jet lag struggles. I'm sharing why I wish I'd started taking it decades ago, the crucial difference between creatine HCL and monohydrate (hint: one causes bloating, the other doesn't), and exactly how to dose it for maximum benefits without the side effects. Plus, I'm revealing my personal protocol for high-stress days, travel, and those nights when sleep just doesn't happen - because let's be real, life after 40 throws us curveballs and we need our energy to keep up.

 

What you’ll learn:

  • Why creatine is crucial for women over 40 and how it functions as your cellular battery booster

  • The significant difference between creatine HCL and monohydrate forms and why absorption rates matter

  • Proper dosing protocols for foundational use, intense workouts, and high-stress situations

  • How creatine benefits brain function, focus, and mood - especially during sleep deprivation

  • What to expect when starting creatine and how to monitor your progress with body composition

  • Why creatine can help with jet lag, time zone adjustments, and travel recovery

  • The connection between creatine and muscle definition, plus why slight weight gain is actually beneficial

  • How to use creatine strategically for better workout performance and faster recovery
