Episode 19 - Creatine Is Trending for Women 40+.. Here’s the Real Story
In today’s episode of the Fierce Mama Fitcast, we’re cutting through all the noise around creatine — the supplement that used to belong to gym bros but is now everywhere in women’s health conversations, especially for those navigating perimenopause.
I break down why creatine is suddenly trending, what the research actually says about women 40+, and how it supports strength, muscle, bone density, cognition, recovery, and mood.
Then I get personal: I share my own story about wanting to take creatine for years but being cautious because of my Meniere’s disease and inner-ear fluid sensitivity (NOT the normal type of creatine water retention).
I walk you through how I finally decided to start, why I chose Nutrichem’s creatine, the protocol I’m using, and what I’m tracking as I go.
If you’re creatine-curious but overwhelmed, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a practical, woman-over-40 approach to using creatine safely and effectively.
