About this listen
Creatine is one of the most researched and most misunderstood supplements in health and fitness. In this episode of A Balanced Life, Dr. Chris Byles breaks down the science behind creatine and explains why it’s far more than just a “gym supplement.”
You’ll learn how creatine supports strength, muscle preservation, recovery, and brain energy, and why research shows it is both safe and effective across the lifespan. This episode takes a deeper look at why women may benefit even more from creatine than men, especially during perimenopause, menopause, and later stages of life, when maintaining muscle, bone health, and cognitive function becomes critical.
Dr. Byles also covers how much creatine to take daily, whether a loading phase is necessary, common myths and misconceptions, and how to choose a high-quality creatine supplement. Whether you’re an athlete, active adult, or simply focused on healthy aging, this episode provides practical, evidence-based guidance to help you decide if creatine belongs in your routine.
🎧 Evidence-based. Practical. Balanced.
