Why I’m Loving Creatine So Much Right Now
My partner, Chuck, actually mentioned creatine to me ages ago, but honestly… I didn’t think too much of it at the time. It wasn’t until I started listening to a few podcasts that I realised just how incredible this little scoop of powder actually is.
What I’ve since found out is that Creatine is actually the most researched supplement in the world, like, decades of studies behind it. So once I heard that, I thought okay, maybe there’s something in this!
And with all the benefits it promised (especially for us heading into peri-menopause, menopause or, in my case, surgical menopause), I jumped on board.
Why creatine made sense for me… especially right now
Creatine has been shown to support:
Brain health - which got me immediately, because hello brain fog
Muscle strength & recovery - super helpful as hormones shift and I’ve been focusing on my strength training lately
Energy levels - so needed of all of us (especially this time of year!)
Better training performance - feeling strong!
Healthy aging - yes please to healthy long life
I actually started taking it while we were in Bali because I knew I was in a relaxed routine and could properly stick to it. Instead of doing the traditional “loading week” everyone talks about, I just took one scoop a day from the get-go.
The benefits I’ve felt (and loving!)
Over the past couple of months, I’ve noticed:
My brain fog has eased, thank you!
I’m getting stronger at the gym, thanks to my PT pushing me on those extra reps
My sleep has improved so much, I love that I can track this on my Apple Watch
And honestly? I’m just feeling… better. More me.
It’s become such a small, simple habit now. Every morning I grab my water bottle, throw in some ice, fill it with cold water, add my scoop of creatine, and done.
Where to get it
You can grab creatine over at SWIISH, at Chemist Warehouse, and even Costco!
I personally love the Switch brand that GoodnessMe stocks, and I also love that I get a cheeky 10% off each time… even when it’s on sale.
