The Supplement You’re Probably Sleeping On: Why Creatine Isn’t Just for Bros

Should Women Take Creatine? What Megan the Trainer Adds to Her Coffee—and Why It Matters

What if we told you one of the most studied, effective supplements for strength and recovery isn’t just for bodybuilders—and that it might pair beautifully with your morning coffee? Welcome to Episode 081 of Nourish to Flourish, where Megan the Trainer RD gets personal about her own nutrition choices. Spoiler alert: She’s been adding creatine monohydrate to her daily brew—and noticing some real changes in the gym. But this isn’t just a trendy health hack. It’s about taking a closer look at how small, intentional tweaks can create meaningful improvements in your strength, energy, and recovery—especially for women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.

Why Creatine?

Creatine has been a staple in the sports nutrition world for decades. But in recent years, it's gained popularity among women who want to:

• Build lean muscle
• Support healthy aging and hormonal shifts
• Boost energy for workouts and daily life
• Enhance brain function and cognitive performance

Megan dives into why she made the choice to reintroduce creatine into her routine, and what it’s done for her performance and recovery—especially during those early morning training sessions.

Creatine and Coffee: Is That a Thing?

It might sound odd at first, but adding a scoop of creatine to your coffee is actually a smart move. Coffee provides the caffeine, which can enhance performance, and creatine supports muscle energy and strength. Megan shares exactly how she incorporates it (hint: it’s in the last few sips!), why she chooses a simple, clean creatine monohydrate powder, and what women should know before getting started.

Common Misconceptions About Creatine for Women

Still skeptical? Megan addresses common creatine myths like:

• “It’ll make me bulky.”
• “It’s only for people who lift heavy.”
• “It causes bloating or water retention.”

Spoiler: When taken properly, creatine for women is not only safe—it can be incredibly beneficial for body composition, energy, and long-term health. In fact, research is now showing its benefits for women in peri-menopause and menopause, helping to preserve muscle mass, support cognition, and aid in metabolic function.
