Creatine has a strong track record for performance in specific types of exercise. Recently, researchers have been studying possible effects on cognition, sleep deprivation, and cardiometabolic markers.

For women in perimenopause and menopause, potential effects on muscle health and bone density are especially interesting.

If you take creatine, let your clinician know before kidney-function testing. Creatine can raise serum creatinine and affect estimates of kidney function.
The study referenced on slide 5 was published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition on August 21, 2026.

The small study in perimenopausal and menopausal women tested creatine HCl alone and in combination with creatine ethyl ester; it did not test creatine monohydrate.

Women can experience health conditions differently than men, yet women have historically been underrepresented in medical research. Those differences are often missed or misunderstood.

It’s important to know your risk, take symptoms seriously, and speak up - especially during perimenopause and menopause.

The health information in this post was shared by Dr. Wen Shen and Dr. Jayne Morgan at the Perimenopause Symposium in Baltimore, MD, on September 25.

90% of peak bone mass is attained by the end of adolescence, and we reach our peak BMD by 25-30 years old.

When estrogen declines during perimenopause, the loss of bone mineral density accelerates.

We can support bone health through screening, exercise, nutrition, and potentially hormone therapy.

The orthopaedic facts shared in this post were presented by Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein, orthopaedic surgeon, at the Perimenopause Conference in Baltimore on September 25.

Myths about soy and women’s health have been floating around for years, so let’s set the record straight.

Soybeans contain isoflavones, plant compounds that are structurally similar to estrogen but do not act like human estrogen or estrogen therapy in the body, a conclusion supported by a recent review of 40 randomized controlled trials in postmenopausal women.

Isoflavones can bind to estrogen receptors, but their effects vary among different tissues. In fact, one randomized trial found that isoflavones decreased fibroglandular breast tissue in premenopausal women, a finding that may be relevant to lower breast cancer risk, although more research is needed.

The bottom line: Soy foods are nutritious sources of plant protein and are not the estrogen bombs people have made them out to be.

To reap all the benefits, choose whole or minimally processed soy foods such as edamame, tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and mature soybeans rather than relying on concentrated isoflavone supplements.

I'm a registered dietitian who used to run marathons, and I want to know what marathon training is like for you right now, in your words, however brief. What's the most frustrating part? Big or small, fueling-related or not. Tell me in the comments or send me a DM. If you're on your first marathon or a later one, add that too. I'm not selling anything, I just want to hear it.

Today is World Heart Day! ❤️

Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death worldwide, partially because some important risk factors can go undetected.

Ask your doctor if you can get your Lipoprotein(a) and Apolipoprotein B tested. These simple blood tests may reveal risks that a standard cholesterol panel may miss and can give you the opportunity to act early.

Knowing your numbers could save your life.
