I think one of the biggest misconceptions around supplements is that you need the “perfect” routine for them to work. In reality, most of the benefits come from consistency - small habits repeated often enough that they become part of your life. That’s true for movement, strength and creatine too.

I take the recommended flat teaspoon (3g) every single morning with my other blends. It doesn't matter when you take it of course, just that you do, consistently.

Most of the meaningful things in life work like this - strength, fitness, healing, confidence, relationships, business.

For a long time it can feel like nothing is changing at all, until one day you realise you’ve become someone stronger, calmer, wiser or more capable than you were before. Keep going, every small step counts 🤍

I used to think strength had to be super hard, intense, all-or-nothing. But the strength that’s changed my life hasn’t looked like that at all. It’s come from showing up consistently (not perfectly).

Turning up to my bike week after week and watching distances that once felt big become normal. Building strength in Pilates and the gym without smashing myself.
Noticing I don’t crash in the afternoons anymore - now it's steady energy through the entire day.

All of this came from small daily habits that added up. Over time, I’ve learned that motivation comes and goes, but consistent daily habits remain.

To build strength, we don't need bursts of intensity to be effective, we need consistency, and with that I think, patience that smaller incremental steps will amount to leaps and bounds of progress, within time. If you're questioning whether it's too late, it absolutely isn't.

If you’re a peri woman with a brain like a sieve you’ll understand 😂

Managing hormones at this age requires less “memory” and more elaborate positioning systems around the house.

Please tell me I’m not the only one moving things around like a menopausal treasure hunt.

I'm sure there’s still a number of women who think creatine is only for bodybuilders, heavy lifters or people trying to “bulk up.” For good reason, many of us used to think that.

But the more I’ve researched creatine monohydrate over the past year, the more interesting it’s become - particularly for women in midlife.

What’s fascinating is that creatine isn’t only involved in muscle performance. It also plays a role in cellular energy production throughout the body, including the brain, which is why researchers are now exploring its potential role in cognitive function, mental fatigue, recovery, healthy aging and overall resilience.

What I personally love most about this conversation is that it shifts the focus away from aesthetics and back toward something far more meaningful: strength, vitality, energy and feeling well in our bodies as we age.

Research around creatine is still evolving, but I have a feeling we’re only scratching the surface of what women are about to learn about it.
