A marketing campaign I saw last week ruffled my feathers. A supplement brand is releasing a new collection of creatine products “designed for women”. They hide under the guise of educating women and making it “for them”. But to me, it looks a bit more like PINK TAX. In this episode I'm spilling the tea on why I had an issue with the campaign, and what my personal recommendations are for women considering a creatine supplement. P.S., Here’s the link to the Creatine Monohydrate I use every day....

I've gone from a self-proclaimed running hater to completing my first marathon over the past few years. I remember the way sense of achievement I got after my first 10k (and I also remember how much my joints were screaming at me and how exhausted I felt for the rest of the day). I've also been navigating the balance between running and training in the gym because I've worked too hard for too many years at my strength to let that go down the drain. So today I'm sharing all my best advice for ...
