Monday Matters with Dr. Paschall: Let’s Talk Creatine 💪🧠
Creatine isn’t just for athletes—it’s one of the most researched supplements for supporting strength, muscle health, energy, and brain function. While many people think of it for workouts, creatine can be especially beneficial for women in perimenopause and menopause.
As estrogen declines, women may experience changes in muscle mass, strength, recovery, bone health, and mental clarity. Creatine may help support:
✨ Lean muscle maintenance & strength
✨ Exercise performance and recovery
✨ Healthy aging and mobility
✨ Cognitive function, focus, and mental energy
✨ Overall metabolic health when paired with movement and nutrition
A common maintenance dose is 3–5 grams daily (not 1 gram) though individual needs can vary.
As with any supplement, it’s important to discuss use with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have medical conditions, take medications, or have specific health concerns. Social media content is educational and should not replace individualized medical advice.
If you’re wondering whether creatine is right for you, we’re happy to help guide you.
