Creatine is often seen as a “gym supplement,” but it’s actually important for energy, muscle recovery, brain health, and even mood.

Women naturally have ~70–80% lower creatine stores than men.

Diet sources (like red meat & fish) can help, but intakes are often lower in women, especially if you eat mostly plant-based.

Supplementation may support performance, strength, and even cognitive health — but if your diet is rich in animal proteins, you might already be getting enough.

It isn’t essential for everyone, but it can be a useful tool depending on your diet, lifestyle & goals.

AI is impressive — it can give you lists of “healthy foods,” meal ideas, or even research summaries in seconds.

But it doesn’t know you.

It won’t ask about your symptoms, your cycle, your blood results, your stress levels, or the foods you actually enjoy.

It can’t spot when a “simple question” might actually be a sign of a bigger health issue.

That’s where a Registered Nutritionist makes the difference.

Not just information, but interpretation.
Not just a food list, but a plan that fits you.

Because nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all.

**Always get dietary advice from a REGISTERED nutritionist or dietitian as they are the only professionals qualified to do so.**

New research has found that women with Alzheimer’s have lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their brains.

Why this matters:

Women are more affected by Alzheimer’s.

Omega-3s (especially DHA) play a crucial role in brain structure, memory, and protecting against decline.

Diets low in oily fish or omega-3 sources may increase vulnerability.

What you can do:

Aim for oily fish 1–2x per week (salmon, sardines, mackerel).

Plant-based? Include chia, flax, avocado and walnuts — but consider an algae-based DHA supplement too.

So tired of hearing “calories in, calories out” or “just be in a calorie deficit” etc

Yes, energy balance matters, but we are not robots and health is not a maths equation.

Food choices are influenced by so much more.

Telling someone to “just eat less and move more” isn’t helpful. It oversimplifies a very complex picture and can even add shame or guilt to someone’s journey.

Progress is about energy, confidence, freedom with food, and quality of life. Not just what the scales say.
