Why Women Over 40 Should Consider Creatine: The Midlife Muscle and Mind Boost You Didn’t Know You Needed


Listen Later

Creatine isn’t just for gym bros and bodybuilders, it’s one of the most researched, safest, and most effective supplements for supporting strength, energy, and brain health.

In this episode, I break down a brand-new study that found women in perimenopause and menopause who took a small daily dose of creatine saw faster reaction times, better cholesterol levels, and even a 16% increase in brain creatine.

We’ll cover:

💪 Why creatine matters for women over forty

⚡ What ATP is, and how creatine helps your body make more of it

🧠 What the latest science says about brain and bone health

🥄 How much to take, which form works best, and when to use it

✅ My own four-year experience with daily creatine use (and what I’ve learned through The EC Method with Emma Storey-Gordon and Chloe Madeley)

Whether you’re in perimenopause, postmenopause, or simply want to age stronger, this is your guide to understanding one of the most underrated supplements out there.

🎧 Listen now, and discover why one small scoop could make a big difference.

This is the Creatine Monohydrate I take.
