Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders — and in this episode, we’re breaking down what moms actually need to know about this powerful supplement.

In this episode of the Strong & Nourished Momma Podcast, I’m joined by Diana Nguyen, MS, RD, a performance dietitian with extensive experience working with athletes and tactical professionals. Together, we talk about what creatine really does in the body, how it supports strength and performance, and why it can be a helpful tool for busy moms who want to feel stronger, more energized, and more resilient.

We also discuss common myths around creatine, safety concerns, and how to use it properly — especially for postpartum and active women who are balancing training, recovery, and real life.

This conversation is especially helpful if you:

• Want to build strength without burning out
• Feel confused by supplement misinformation
• Are training consistently but not seeing the results you expect
• Want science-backed guidance that actually fits mom life

If you’ve ever wondered whether creatine is right for you — and how it could support your strength, recovery, and performance — this episode will give you clarity.

If you’re a mom who works out consistently but still feels weak, unstable, or stuck, this episode will change how you think about strength.

In this episode of the Strong & Nourished Momma Podcast, we’re breaking down why strength isn’t built in workouts alone — and what busy moms are often missing when progress stalls. You’ll learn how the body actually adapts to strength, why movement quality, fuel availability, recovery, and stress all matter, and why doing more isn’t always the answer.

Through real-life examples, client stories, and science-backed explanations, this episode connects the dots between core engagement, breathing, nutrition, and recovery — and how these signals can either help your body get stronger or push it into compensation and pain.

This conversation is especially relevant for moms who feel like they’re “doing everything right” but not seeing or feeling the results they expect. Strength isn’t about trying harder — it’s about supporting the system your body uses to adapt.

If you’re ready to stop blaming yourself and start understanding what your body actually needs to get stronger, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever felt like you “can’t stay consistent” with healthy habits, this episode is your reminder that the problem isn’t you — it’s the plan.

In this episode of the Strong & Nourished Momma Podcast, we’re talking about why consistency feels so hard for moms and how to build habits that actually last without perfection, pressure, or burnout. You’ll learn why willpower isn’t the missing piece, how energy and capacity impact follow-through, and what consistency really looks like in real-life motherhood.

This conversation is especially helpful if you’ve started and stopped routines more times than you can count, feel frustrated with all-or-nothing thinking, or want a more supportive approach to nutrition, movement, and self-care. Healthy habits don’t require doing more — they require doing what fits, consistently.

If you’re ready to stop chasing perfection and start building habits that work for the season you’re in, this episode is for you.
