  1. EPISODE 3

    003 | Creatine for Women 101

    Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders—and yes, women should care. In this episode, I break down what creatine actually is, what it does in your body, and why it can be a game-changer for women—especially if you're trying to build muscle, boost brain power, or stay strong through perimenopause and beyond. We cut through the bro-science and answer the big questions: Is it safe? Will it make me bulky? Do I really need it? If you've been curious but confused, this one’s your no-BS guide to creatine, simplified. PS - during this episode, I mention that I hadn’t found any solid info on creatine + pregnancy. After I finished recording, I found a study on pregnancy; hope this helps! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7912953/ Find me on Instagram My favorite creatine (use code megstod20 for 20% off) Get the Weight Loss Kickstart for a limited time Learn more about the 12 Week Weight Loss Accelerator References: https://shop.bodybuilding.com/blogs/nutrition/why-do-trainers-suggest-a-creatine-loading-phase https://www.blenderbottle.com/blogs/health/what-is-creatine-loading-and-how-does-it-work https://www.garagegymreviews.com/creatine-loading-phase https://www.mensjournal.com/food-drink/trainer-qa-do-i-need-to-load-creatine https://health.clevelandclinic.org/creatine-loading-phase https://levelsprotein.com/blogs/supplements/creatine-loading https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a63436153/what-is-creatine-loading/ https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/creatine-pros-and-cons https://us.myprotein.com/thezone/supplements/the-creatine-loading-phase-is-it-the-best-way-to-gain-muscle/ https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/creatine-loading-phase https://www.reddit.com/r/weightlifting/comments/xvmw4i/creatine_loading_phase/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbLIyA6AlS4 https://www.reddit.com/r/weightlifting/comments/1c3ttl0/starting_creatine_but_skipping_loading_phase/
