As a nutritionist, wellness consultant, and fitness enthusiast, I don’t jump on supplements quickly. I spent nearly three years observing the creatine space—concerned about bloating, digestive discomfort, and potential metabolic disruption, especially for women.
But as I moved deeper into my late 40s, my priorities became clear: preserving muscle mass, supporting strength training, and staying resilient for high-altitude climbs, challenging hikes, kettlebell workouts, and rowing cardio. Muscle is not optional as we age. It’s foundational to longevity, metabolic health, and independence.
That’s when I introduced creatine with taurine+ from mindbodygreen, used consistently post-training. After three months, the shift was noticeable: reduced muscle fatigue, improved recovery, renewed energy, and a visible increase in lean muscle mass. My body felt supported, not stressed.
This experience reinforced what I teach my clients—strategic supplementation, when done thoughtfully and consistently, can enhance performance and quality of life, especially as we approach our 50s.
Strength is an investment. Muscle is protective. And informed choices matter.
