256. Should You Take Creatine? Here's What to Know About This Popular Supplement

"Supplementing with creatine could have potentially benefited my exercise performance years ago, but I wasn’t ready for that then."

Creatine is everywhere right now, but what does the research actually say, and should you take it? In this episode, I’m breaking down what creatine is, the benefits, which type of creatine is the gold standard, and how to think about supplements without letting diet culture drive your decisions. We’ll also talk about why eating enough and consistently has to come first, because no supplement can replace a strong nutrition foundation.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

What creatine actually is and why your body already naturally produces it
The surprising benefits of creatine beyond workouts
Why your nutrition foundation matters way more than any supplement ever will
The difference between creatine gummies and creatine monohydrate, and why research matters
How much creatine most people start with, plus whether you really need a loading phase
The questions to ask yourself before deciding if creatine is right for you
