Everyone’s screaming about creatine but…
I wanted to take a pause and go really deep with Dan Pardi PhD (@qualialife) on busting down some myths and getting clear on what the true benefits are (spoiler alert: it’s about energy not muscle).
In this episode of The Better Podcast we discuss how creatine buffers energy, sleep loss and midlife stress.
Dr. Dan Pardi - sleep researcher, neuroscientist, and Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life - has spent decades studying what creatine actually does in the body - and what the research reveals for midlife women is genuinely surprising. It's not about muscle. It's about energy. And energy is foundational to everything.
He breaks down the science of creatine that most women have never been told: why estrogen directly controls how well your cells absorb it, what three studies show it can do for a sleep-deprived brain, and how to actually start taking it without the bloating, the kidney fears, or the confusion.
