171: Creatine for Women Over 40: Muscle, Mood & Menopause

Lisa Barwise Season 5 Episode 171

What if one supplement could help you build muscle, boost your brain, and support your hormones—without turning you into a bodybuilder?

In this episode, we’re lifting the lid on creatine—one of the most researched and misunderstood supplements out there—and why it might be the missing link in your perimenopausal strength journey.

You’ll learn:

  • ✅ What creatine is (and what it isn’t—spoiler: it’s not a steroid)
  • 💪 How it helps you build muscle, strength, and power at any age
  • 🧠 The surprising benefits for brain health, memory, and mood
  • 🌿 Why women over 40 often don’t get enough naturally
  • 🚫 Myths about water retention, kidney health, and bulkiness—debunked

We also touch on:

  • How to take it (dosage + timing)
  • Who should and shouldn’t use it
  • Why it’s a powerful tool—not a magic pill
