For years, Creatine has been marketed to male athletes and bodybuilders, but new research suggests it could be a powerful supplement for women in midlife.

In this episode, nutritionist Karen Newby joins Donna to unpack everything you need to know about creatine - from how it supports muscle strength and energy, to its emerging role in cognitive health, brain fog, and mood during perimenopause and menopause.

They discuss:

* What creatine is and why it could work for us in midlife

* What the science says about creatine for energy and brain health

* Safe dosages, how to take it, and what to look for in a supplement

* Whether you can get enough creatine from diet alone

* Who shouldn’t take creatine and why
