Episode Creatine for Women: How to Take It, How Much You Need & What It Actually Does
Think creatine is only for bodybuilders or worried it's going to make you bulky or gain weight? Let's talk about what creatine actually does.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the research on creatine, including studies looking specifically at women, and showing you how I personally use it as part of my strength and muscle-building routine.
We'll talk about creatine monohydrate, dosage, consistency, water retention, resistance training, protein, loading phases, and why maintaining muscle becomes increasingly important as we age.
I'm also giving you a simple challenge you can start today: 30 days of consistent creatine paired with two strength-training sessions each week.
In this episode:
• What creatine actually does • Why creatine isn't just for men • Does creatine make you gain weight? • Creatine and water retention • Why training matters • The type of creatine I use • How much creatine to take • Why I take creatine every day • Whether you can put creatine in coffee • Creatine and protein • Simple resistance exercises you can do at home • My 30-day creatine challenge
