Hey, I’m Alisha. A wife, mom, fitness/nutrition/lifestyle coach. I dieted for over a decade, losing and regaining the same weight over and over. I was not only chasing a number on the scale, but I was also trying to be everything to everyone, which only left me feeling more exhausted and worse about myself.
I finally realized that if I was going to show up as the wife and mom I wanted and find freedom in my health I needed to work on my relationship to food, exercise, my body, and myself. I learned about the power of changing our brain (aka our thinking) - and our behavior- through habits that supported the healthy lifestyle that I craved. And now I’m ready to share everything I’ve learned with you!

Busy Moms Over 35: Creatine and 4 Reasons You Need It
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If creatine has crossed your radar but you've always assumed it was for someone else aka the guy at the gym, the serious athlete, not you... this episode is going to change your mind.
Alisha Carlson breaks down exactly why creatine for women over 35 is one of the most research-backed, underused tools available to busy moms right now and why the benefits go way beyond the gym. We're talking muscle preservation, bone density, cognitive function, and recovery. All backed by actual science, zero hype.
If you're a busy mom wondering whether creatine is worth it, navigating perimenopause, or just exhausted from starting over every Monday this one's for you.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- What creatine actually is — and why it's not just for gym bros
- Why women over 35 have lower baseline creatine stores than men (and what that means for you)
- The 4 surprising creatine benefits that matter most for busy moms: muscle, bones, brain, and recovery
- Why creatine is especially powerful during perimenopause and hormonal transitions
- The truth about water retention and weight gain — so you don't panic and quit in week one
- Exactly how to take it: dose, timing, form, and brands worth trusting
- The identity shift that makes sustainable health actually possible
THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF...
- You're a busy mom, mompreneur, or working woman who's heard of creatine but always assumed it wasn't for you
- You're over 35 and noticing your body is harder to build muscle, slower to recover, or just feels different than it used to
- You're in perimenopause or approaching it and want evidence-based tools — not guesswork
- You've been stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle and are ready for a sustainable, non-diet approach to health
- You want to build strength, energy, and confidence without obsessing over the scale
