Listen "Training on GLP-1: Muscle, Menopause & Moving Without Burning Out"
Episode Synopsis
GLP-1 doesn’t just change appetite - it changes how women need to train, recover, and fuel their bodies.
In this episode, Nicole is joined by women’s health and fitness coach Angela Macleod to unpack what actually works for women using GLP-1 medications, especially through perimenopause and midlife weight loss.
They talk honestly about why traditional “push harder” fitness advice often backfires… how fear of muscle loss can drive overtraining and burnout… and why exhaustion is not a badge of honour when it comes to health.
This conversation explores the real shifts women need to make with strength training, recovery, protein, and nervous system support - so weight loss doesn’t come at the cost of confidence, shape, or mental wellbeing.
It’s a grounded, evidence-based discussion for women who want to feel strong, supported, and in tune with their bodies - not punished by them.
If you’re on GLP-1, considering it, or simply tired of fitness that leaves you shattered instead of empowered, this episode will change how you think about movement.
