I very much credit it for helping me to transform my body in my 40s.

 

Episode Summary:

Creatine has long been associated with men, bodybuilders, and serious athletes—but Holly Perkins explains why it may be one of the most overlooked tools for women in midlife.

In this episode, Holly breaks down what creatine actually is, how it helps your muscles produce energy, and why its benefits can extend far beyond strength and workout performance. She shares her own experience using creatine, including how she noticed improvements in her strength, energy, and brain power.

Holly also tackles some of the biggest misconceptions around creatine, including concerns about women getting bulky, water retention, and safety. She walks through the different forms of creatine, why she prefers creatine monohydrate, how much to take, when to take it, and whether you really need a loading phase.

Most importantly, this episode is about helping women over 40 understand how creatine may fit into a bigger strategy for building strength, supporting energy, and staying capable as they age.

Because creating a strong body isn't about looking good for today—it's about creating the body you NEED to keep up with the life you LOVE.
