Menopause Brain Fog, Creatine & Why Your Weight Loss Isn’t Working
About this episode
The episode discusses creatine's effects on menopausal women and the importance of structured meal planning for weight loss.
In this episode, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell discuss emerging research on creatine supplementation in perimenopausal and menopausal women, including its potential role in supporting cognitive function, mental fatigue and brain energy metabolism. They also examine large-scale CSIRO weight loss data showing why structured meal planning predicts better results than relying on willpower alone. The episode includes a supermarket review of Cobs Popcorn Bars and a practical discussion on body composition changes, including why measurements may drop even when scale weight does not.
