Before You Buy Creatine... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Creatine has survived decades of supplement shenanigans for one very good reason: it works. But women still get warned it’ll make them bloated, wreck their kidneys, make their hair fall out or turn them into something resembling a waterlogged linebacker. So I went through the evidence. In this episode of Muscle Over Menopause , I get into what creatine can realistically do for muscle and strength, why five grams a day makes sense, what that early scale bump actually is, and what we know about ki
Red Light Masks: B.S. or Yes? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Red-light masks are everywhere, and some cost enough to require selling a vital organ. So do they actually work for wrinkles? I dug through the better trials, including a 2025 randomized sham-controlled home-mask study, and the answer is: yes, with a buyer-beware asterisk. In this episode: What changed in the strongest home-mask trial Why the researchers saw an improvement that the people wearing the masks didn’t clearly see themselves What industry funding does and doesn’t tell us Why results f
When Do I Add Weight? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you know when it’s actually time to add weight? I hit a 65-pound weighted pull-up for my 53rd birthday, but I didn’t get there by making every workout heavier. Sometimes I added weight.

Can You Get Off the Toilet When You’re 80? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Women hear plenty about walking. I’m more interested in whether your legs will still get you off the toilet at 80. This week: one five-rep chair test you can do at home, what to notice, and what to do if it’s harder than expected. Try it: Use a regular chair, cross your arms, stand up and sit down five times. Time it. Use the same chair when you check again later. Pain, dizziness, or feel unsafe doing it? Skip it. Get inside The Training Lab: https://deepkimchi.substack.com/p/training-lab More a
Why the Same Weight Feels Heavier When You're Crying in Your Creatine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some days the dumbbells haven’t changed, but your access to strength has. Sleep loss and mental fatigue slow the lifts, raise perceived effort, and make an ordinary session cost more than it should. I’m talking what grief, heartbreak, and four hours of sleep metabolically do inside a workout, and how to adjust the training without turning one bad week into a verdict on your body.
