What's all the buzz about creatine? Should you be taking it? What benefits does it have, especially for women?
Erin welcomes back Angelo Keely, Co-Founder and CEO of Kion, to break down the myths, facts, and powerful research behind creatine’s benefits. From muscle performance and body composition to cognitive health and hormone-related brain fog, you’ll learn why this widely studied supplement is gaining a ton of traction among women of all ages.
Is creatine actually safe? What about kidney concerns, bloating, or digestive issues? And how does it stack up against (or work alongside) amino acids?
Erin and Angelo tackle the big questions and will empower you to make informed decisions so you can decide if creatine fits into YOUR daily routine.
In This Episode:
- Why creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders (and why women typically see strength benefits without “bulking up”)
- How creatine supports cognitive function, especially during pivotal hormonal shifts like perimenopause and menopause
- The truth about bloating, kidney health, and other commonly misunderstood side effects
- How to determine your ideal dosage based on age, weight, and goals, and how to ease in if you’re sensitive
- The key differences between creatine and amino acids, and why they work better together
