I'm 43, with fibromyalgia and arthritis. I'm going to try these electrolyte Stix with creatine 🤞 hoping it'll give me enough boost to get moving without as bad flares. They have been so much worse since I shattered my ankle. I felt great when I was paleo/keto adjacent 😅 so maybe trying this will at least not hurt me any

As a woman I’ve felt that taking Creatine in conjunction with lifting weights is beneficial to me. What I learned today was that my 70 y/o mom could also benefit from it too and in fact, she is likely deficient.👍. Thank you.

Whoa-I was so sleep deprived for year’s following my divorce that was highly stressful- then that stress was compounded by menopause! I feel creatine is something that is helping to restore my brain and body. I had been lifting weights for about 5 months but not seeing any results. I started taking creatine just a handful of weeks ago and WOW! I am making visible gains in my arms and legs! It is truly amazing and I can’t believe I didn’t know about this years ago! Thank you for getting the word out!

Hey, just reading your comment 9 months later and I wanna say, thank you 🙏🏻 I too went through a bad divorce during menopause and got way off track. Trying to get it together now and really found your comment inspiring.

I Just started taking creatine with my plant protein and I lost 40lbs in one month, I’m stronger and more lean. I also noticed mental clarity, better cycles and periods, better mood, restorative sleep, curbed appetite, fast recovery almost no sore days from working out and my skin is better and no sagging from weight loss I feel like it actually tightened my skin. Creatine is a wonderful supplement for women and fat loss.

Very interesting. I was just writing on another doctors page who covers the Carnivore diet that the #1 thing I noticed when I went on the diet was IMPROVED mental health. The depression and anxiety ( that I thought I would be plagued with my whole life) disappeared. I was looking up creatine after listening to your talk, and it is mostly found in meat and seafood. So, wow. Another piece to the puzzle! Thank you very much for all you do.You are the main reason ( a while ago ) when I heard one of your talks on Vitamin D, that I have made it a PRIORITY to get at least 30 minutes of sun a day....something else that also has helped me immensely!!

Mike Mutzel, thank you for addressing post menopausal women in your podcast. I am 58, and still want to build muscle, as part of my fitness and longevity journey. I have noticed a significant increase in ability to put forth greater power in my resistance training workout. This was mainly for my back/shoulder day. I am still evaluating for my leg day. In a prior podcast, I think you mentioned greater improvements in power (one rep max) for the legs (about 13%?) and for upper body (about 6%)? Was so excited to hear that mental health, including cognition improvements are also a side benefit of taking creative.

Love the female specific content/info - thank you!

Thank you for clarifying this. I have seen a lot for men but am curious on effects on women. Being an older female and concerned about muscle loss appreciate it.

@@Mereship I think the basic no frills creatine monohydrate is the most economical. I lift rather aggressively and use a brand called Ghost “size” but it’s not entry level stuff. Makes your skin crawl a little 😂 but it has a “burn delay” chemical in it. Regular old creatine monohydrate just gives you an awesome pump!

I'm an elderly female with fibromyalgia, which is proven to involve a lower amount of available ATP. I lost my fitness when I first got sick, and once stabilized, I started to exercise again and couldn't do much at all. I was also an almost vegetarian then, but am on Paleo now. Creatine was instrumental in allowing me to work up to a basic fitness level again. Once I reached that, the creatine did not add any more benefit. The only benefit I got was being able to exercise more, but it was well worth it.

I am 60 and have been taking creatine for about 3 months. First thing that stands out strong is how quickly my muscles heal after working out. The soreness does not last too long. I lift and hurt my back recently, deadlifting. The soreness lasted less than a week. In addition to creatine, I kept moving and stretching but by the time I met with my trainer again, I was not sore anymore.

Thank you! This was incredibly helpful to me. I'm 43 and am usually fairly consistent in my workouts. I prefer HIIT. But my sleep can be very eratic, especially once the leuteal phase starts. I will make sure I'm focusing more on red meat and if necessary, additional supplementation of creatine, since I am also genetically predisposed to low B6 levels. I tend do notice I'm incredibly fatigued during that time as well. Seems a full two weeks of bad sleep, crazy mood swings, and very low physical and mental energy. I'll apply this info and see how it helps!

Mike, thanks so much for your focus on women and creatine. I started creatine about a month ago (3-5 grams daily) and i notice that it really helps with weight training and with road biking. I plan to use it long term. Big benefits and I haven't noticed any downside. I do drink significantly more water on it, but that's probably a helpful thing anyway.

Only recently managed to get my mum & my wife to start taking it. Thank you for the timely vid

Thanks for the great information!

Creatine is my go-to supplement for extra energy for chronic fatigue. I use it sparingly. It seems to temporarily boost my energy rather than change underlying health. If I use too much of I have found I increase my risk burn-out. I have also personally found it does noticeably stimulate me to the extent I'd struggle to sleep if I took it in the evening - even on a very low dose. In terms of regular supplementation, aside from the aforementioned issues I'd be concerned about hair loss through creatine as I already have a history of PCOS related hair loss.
