106. GLP-1s in Perimenopause: What Most Providers Are Missing

GLP-1 medications and peptides are everywhere right now - but the conversation around them has become loud, polarized, and often missing context.

In this episode, I share why I intentionally waited to talk about GLP-1s, how I think about them through a functional and midlife lens, and why tools like peptides or hormones can't replace foundational health work.

This is a grounded, non-shaming conversation for women who want clarity (not hype) when it comes to weight, metabolism, muscle, and long-term health after 40.

You'll learn:

• What GLP-1s and peptides are - and why they've become so popular
• Why I'm neither "for" nor "against" GLP-1s, especially in perimenopause
• The real risks of rapid weight loss without protein and strength training
• What women on GLP-1s need to prioritize: muscle, nutrition, gut health, and nervous system support
• Why no medication or peptide replaces lifestyle, hormones, and metabolic context
