441: Creatine & The Midlife Woman with JJ Virgin

Is the supplement you've been avoiding actually the key to aging powerfully? At 61, JJ Virgin is challenging everything midlife women have believed about creatine. In this eye-opening conversation, JJ explains why creatine isn't just for bodybuilders but might be essential for women's cognitive function, energy production, and even skin health after 40. She dives into how women naturally store less creatine than men, why our bodies produce only about half what we need daily, and why traditional cooking methods destroy what little creatine exists in our food. She shares a revolutionary form of creatine that eliminates the bloating women typically experience, her exact dosage recommendations (including her emergency protocol for jet lag and sleep deprivation), and how creatine has helped her build more muscle in her 60s than she had decades ago.  If you're tired of being told to "take it easy" or "accept" less than favorable midlife changes, this conversation will completely reshape what you believe is possible for your body after 40 and how creatine might just be your missing link.    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube     Episode Links: Mitopure https://timeline.com/NATALIEJILL  SHEatine www.midlifeconversations.com/sheatine  Protein Powder http://midlifeconversations.com/jjprotein    Learn More About JJ Virgin: https://www.instagram.com/jj.virgin   www.midlifeconversations.com/sheatine  https://jjvirgin.com/main-podcasts/    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!
