Episode Synopsis

GLP-1: Is It Cheating? It’s a hot question—and my answer may surprise you. I’m not here to break down the science of GLP-1 meds, but to tackle the real issue: the stigma. Shame, fear, confusion—especially for women in perimenopause andmenopause—can cloud our choices. Let’s get honest. Weight gain during this transition is real, but is GLP-1 the answer or just a temporary fix? I’m here to give you the truth—no judgment, just clarity. Because knowledge is power, and the more we understand, the better we navigate this phase. Is it themagic pill? Or just part of a bigger picture? Have you used GLP-1 during your perimenopause or menopause journey? What was your experience like?
