Creatine and the Female Brain: What No One's Talking About (YET) - 1216

Most people assume creatine is only for bodybuilders, but new research is challenging that belief. In this episode, Chalene dives into the surprising, science-backed benefits of creatine for women, particularly those in midlife. From brain health and bone density to hormonal support and cognitive function, this supplement might be one of the most underrated tools for aging powerfully. She also busts common myths like weight gain and bloating, and explains why some experts are calling it "the magnesium of 2025."

If you're curious about how to take it, which brands are trustworthy, and how to avoid getting scammed, this episode lays it all out.
