In this episode of The Energetically Efficient Show, Kristen dives into one of her favorite—and most misunderstood—supplements: creatine. If you’ve ever thought creatine was just for bodybuilders or “gym bros,” this episode is going to completely shift your mindset. Kristin shares her personal three-month creatine experiment, revealing impressive DEXA scan results, and explains why she now recommends it to most of her clients, including women over 35 and even her parents.

From enhancing brain health and preserving lean muscle to supporting bone density, balancing blood sugar, and boosting energy and mood, creatine does far more than help you build muscle. Kristin breaks down the science in her signature simple, accessible style, explains how creatine works in the body, debunks common myths, and tells you exactly which brand she uses and why.
