Description

Are your supplements actually helping you, or just draining your wallet? In this episode, Dr. Stacy Sims breaks down the truth about three of the most popular supplements women buy: collagen, magnesium, and creatine.You’ll learn which type of collagen (if any) really supports joint health, why most collagen powders don’t count toward your daily protein, and the surprising reason women should be cautious with “vegan collagen.” Dr. Sims also explains which form of magnesium actually improves sleep and muscle relaxation — and why so many products don’t deliver results. Finally, she reveals why creatine is one of the most powerful yet overlooked supplements for women, especially in perimenopause, supporting energy, mood, gut health, and performance.
