Why Women Over 40 Need Creatine More Than Men Do | Ep. 408

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey breaks down the most researched supplement in existence - and why the women who need it most are the ones not taking it.‍She walks through what creatine actually is (not a steroid, not artificial, not just for bodybuilders), debunks the 4 biggest myths keeping women over 40 away from it (bulking, bloating, cycling, “it’s only for men”), and explains why women in perimenopause and post-menopause stand to benefit even more than young men do - from muscle preservation to bone health to brain fog to mood. Plus, the exact dose and how to take it daily without a loading phase.‍If you liked this video, hit the like and subscribe button so that more videos like this will come your way once we drop them!

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey drops a hot take - perimenopause is real, hormonal changes are real, but a significant portion of what women over 40 are blaming on their hormones is actually the result of a plan that was never going to work regardless.‍She breaks down the real hormonal shifts happening during perimenopause (estrogen declining, fat redistributing to your midsection, muscle becoming harder to protect, insulin sensitivity dropping), then walks through the 4 questions every woman needs to answer honestly before attributing her results to hormones alone - including why most women who go through this checklist find at least 2 or 3 areas where the plan has serious room to improve.‍If you liked this video, hit the like and subscribe button so that more videos like this will come your way once we drop them!
