APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | OTHER PLAYERS

Is creatine just another gym bro supplement, or could it secretly be the mental edge every overwhelmed multitasker needs? What if one of the most studied performance enhancers is quietly on the verge of a brain health breakthrough, especially for women? Ready for a wellness trend that might actually cut through brain fog, support your mood, and help you age well?

In this Hot Take episode, I’m unpacking the emerging science behind creatine beyond muscle strength. Think faster processing, improved working memory, better resilience to stress, and even potential support for PMS, menopause, and postpartum fatigue. I’ll walk you through what the research is really saying, why most women have unique needs when it comes to this supplement, what actually happens in your body and brain when you take creatine, and the truths behind the most common myths like “creatine damages your kidneys” or “it’s only for bodybuilders.” I’ll be sharing the real science, clear and sustainable steps you can use right away, and my own experience with adding creatine to my daily routine.

If you’re tired of drowning in conflicting wellness advice and want to make informed, impactful choices for your mind, mood, and energy, this episode will give you new clarity and confidence to decide if creatine is right for you. If there’s a wellness trend you’re curious about, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or a comment on Spotify letting me know which trend you want me to cover next. Or you can DM me on Instagram @wellonherwaypod.
