National Women’s Health Month shaped much of our focus throughout May, giving us the opportunity to explore how different stages of women’s health — particularly during midlife — can influence long-term brain health and cognitive function.
From examining the connection between menopause and cognitive decline to unpacking creatine’s growing role in women’s health, we approached these topics with the goal of making complex research feel more accessible, practical, and empowering.
In this newsletter, we’re looking back on what we shared throughout May, along with a few updates, seasonal favorites, and a preview of what’s ahead in June.

Creatine and Women’s Health: Update on What Emerging Research Says About Healthy Aging
|
|
Creatine is receiving increased attention for its role in supporting women through midlife, menopause, and healthy aging. Because hormonal changes can affect brain energy, muscle strength, mood, sleep, and metabolic health, researchers are uncovering how creatine may help support the systems most impacted during this stage of life.
Here are a few key insights from the research: (1)
- Women naturally store less creatine than men
- Creatine helps support energy availability in the brain and muscles
- Supplementation may support cognition, strength, recovery, and emotional resilience

5 Surprising Ways Menopause Can Increase Vulnerability to Cognitive Decline — and What Women Can Do About It |
|
Menopause can affect several systems closely tied to brain health, including metabolism, cardiovascular function, sleep quality, stress response, and physical strength. While these changes are a normal part of aging, they may also create a period where cognitive health becomes more sensitive to lifestyle and health-related factors.
Here are a few ways menopause may impact long-term brain health: (2)
- Metabolic changes may affect how efficiently the brain uses energy
- Sleep disruption can influence memory, focus, and emotional regulation
- Muscle and cardiovascular health become increasingly connected to cognitive resilience with age
The good news? Many of these areas respond well to proactive lifestyle habits and preventive care. Learn more by clicking below for the full article.
