Show Notes

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.
