Is brain fog getting worse in menopause? Trying to lose weight but nothing works anymore? This episode explores new research on creatine and cognition — and why willpower isn’t the real reason weight loss stalls. Here’s what we cover: A new 8-week randomised controlled trial on creatine in peri- and menopausal women What actually improved: memory, mental fatigue and cognitive performance Why women may store less creatine than men Whether all forms of creatine are equal Plus: CSIRO data from 78,000 Australians shows why structured meal planning leads to more weight loss Why willpower fails when planning is absent The psychology behind “starting again Monday” We also review the new Cobs Popcorn Bars — are they really a healthy lunchbox option? And we answer a listener question: why are your measurements dropping but not the scale? Leanne and Susie are dietitians and co-founders of Designed by Dietitians. As always, the discussion is evidence-led and practical.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
