## Resource

Are you carrying around a grocery bag full of daily supplements without actually knowing if they’re working for your body? In this episode, I break down exactly which supplements matter for women over 40, from the foundational must-haves like vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, and creatine to the amino acids, electrolytes, and collagen I layer on top to support muscle, energy, and recovery. I answer your biggest supplement questions live, covering everything from creatine safety around kidney stones and cancer survivorship to magnesium types, taurine, B12, and what to do about a bloated belly. My goal is always to help you simplify your routine so you know exactly what you need, what you can skip, and how to build a supplement stack that actually works for your body. What you’ll learn: (02:38) The Yolked egg-yolk supplement can support muscle building for women 40+. (10:59) Vitamin D should be dosed based on lab testing, and why it works best paired with K2. (12:55) How much magnesium most people need and why it's essential for hormones and energy. (13:35) Creatine HCl is better absorbed than monohydrate, and why women need to supplement with it. (17:55) Collagen doesn't build muscle, but it does support your connective tissue. (23:54) What the research says about creatine's safety for kidney stones and cancer survivors. (30:45) Which types of magnesium are more likely to cause diarrhea, and which ones to use instead. (35:10) Fiber and plant variety are key to restoring your gut microbiome as you age.
