Ozempic, Creatine & More: What Wellness Trends Are Actually Worth It for Mums
From celebrity glow-ups to TikTok hype, wellness trends are everywhere. But if you’re a busy mum trying to feel better in your body - what’s actually worth your time (and money)?
We’ve cut through the noise to break down three of the biggest trends mums are asking about and what really works when you’re juggling kids, hormones, sleep debt, and everything else.
1. Ozempic: The Weight Loss Injection Everyone’s Talking About
What it is:
Ozempic (semaglutide) is a diabetes medication that’s now widely used for weight loss thanks to its appetite-suppressing effect. Celebs like Sharon Osbourne and Elon Musk have credited it for weight loss.
What you should know:
• It’s not a magic fix - side effects include nausea, fatigue, and muscle loss.
• A study in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism showed weight loss is often from muscle, not fat , if you’re not strength training.
• Once you stop taking it, weight often returns without strong habits in place.
Our advice:
It can help, but without resistance training and proper nutrition, it can backfire. If you want long-term results , focus on building strength and supporting your hormones first.
2. Creatine: Not Just for Gym Bros
What it is:
A natural compound in your muscles that boosts energy, strength, and mental focus. It has been seen to show incredible results with increase in brain function and muscle repair.
What you should know:
• Supports muscle tone and brain function
• Improves energy and workout recovery
• One of the most researched, safest supplements available
Our advice:
If you’re rebuilding strength post-baby, navigating hormone shifts, or just want to feel more like yourself , creatine is worth considering, especially paired with short, effective workouts.
3. Collagen: Beauty Buzz or Real Health Booster?
What it is:
The protein that keeps skin firm, joints strong, and your gut lining healthy. A-listers like Jennifer Aniston , Kourtney Kardashian , and Elsa Pataky swear by collagen in their daily routines.
What you should know:
• Supports skin elasticity and reduces signs of aging
• Can help with gut health and digestion
• Strengthens hair, nails, and skin (especially post-baby)
Mum take:
If you’re healing from pregnancy or feeling the effects of stress and aging, collagen can help, but pair it with real food, protein, and rest for true impact.
