Yes they can also choose water but actually studies have found water and diet soda to be similar for weight loss with some edge towards the diet soda. Choose whichever you want!

Strength is not masculine. It is biological. If you are avoiding muscle because you think it changes your femininity, you are operating from the wrong framework. Your skeletal muscle regulates glucose disposal, supports insulin sensitivity, and protects long term function. Resistance training gives your body the signal to adapt. Protein gives your body the material to build. Choose strength. Like and subscribe for more science based health principles.

Can we finally agree that telling a PMOS patient to just lose weight is outdated medical advice? The weight gain is a direct symptom of metabolic dysfunction. We need doctors who understand endocrinology, not just scales.

More exciting results from a pilot study on creatine supplementation for Alzheimer’s disease. Participants who took 20 grams per day experienced a ~2 kg increase in handgrip strength and an increase in thigh muscle cross-sectional area after 8 weeks. That’s without training. These findings complement those of a prior publication showing higher brain creatine levels and improved cognition in the same participants. Definitely an area of research to keep an eye on!

Creatine is one of the supplements I recommend most. What creatine does beyond muscle: → Brain energy metabolism (cognitive function, mental fatigue) → Anxiety - 2023 study: ~50% drop in anxiety scores in one week → Bone density support (combined with resistance training) → Muscle preservation despite hormonal shifts 5g-10g creatine monohydrate daily as a longevity supplement Are you taking it?
