Navigating perimenopause can feel like riding a roller coaster. If you’re considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT), here are some tips to help you make informed choices tailored to your needs:

The Benefits of Creatine for Women in Perimenopause for Strength, Mood and Bone Health

Creatine supplementation offers several specific benefits for women in perimenopause, primarily due to its role in energy metabolism, brain/mental health and muscle function. During perimenopause, women experience hormonal changes that can affect muscle mass, bone density and mood. Creatine can help mitigate some of these effects by enhancing muscle strength, improving bone health and supporting cognitive function.

The Importance of Protein Intake During Perimenopause

As women transition into perimenopause, a phase that typically begins in their 30s or 40s leading up to menopause, their bodies undergo significant hormonal changes. These fluctuations can affect various aspects of health, including metabolism, muscle mass, and bone density. One critical nutrient that often requires special attention during this time is protein. Experts recommend peri/menopausal women consume about 1g/lb of ideal body weight of protein per day, or about 30-40g of protein per meal.
