Science-Backed or Bust: Is Creatine the Secret to Fighting Brain Fog, PMS & Aging?
Everywhere you look online, people are calling creatine the magic supplement—promising clearer thinking, better workouts, PMS relief, and even protection against Alzheimer’s. But what does the science really say?
In this “Science-Backed or Bust” Wellness Trends episode, I break down the truth about creatine at a cellular level. You’ll learn how it works in your muscles and brain, who benefits most from supplementation, and where the hype doesn’t match the evidence.
In this episode, we unpack:
How creatine fuels both your muscles and your brain
Why women, vegetarians, older adults & new moms may benefit most
Strength, recovery & injury prevention benefits
Surprising connections between creatine, bone density & aging
Cognitive support: memory, mental clarity & fatigue reduction
Research on Alzheimer’s, concussion recovery & long COVID
Mental health links: depression, dopamine & serotonin
Creatine for PMS, perimenopause & menopause symptoms
Gut health, microbiome shifts & promising cancer studies
Risks, myths & who should avoid creatine
Practical guidance: best type, dose, timing & safety tips
✨ This episode is your clear, evidence-based guide to creatine—so you can decide if it deserves a spot in your daily routine.
✨ Homework: Reflect on your “why” for taking supplements. Is creatine aligned with your goals (energy, brain health, resilience)? If yes, explore a high-quality creatine monohydrate and track your results.
