Still Not Sure What’s Behind Your Hormone Symptoms? Take the first step to balance your hormones naturally with my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

Weight won’t budge? Want to lose 10 (or 20) pounds before summer so you can feel good in your skin again—and without hiding under a caftan. 👀

Enter wonder drug GLP-1—which, according to industry research, is projected to surpass $100 billion by 2030. In fact, prescriptions for Ozempic, Wegovy, and other semaglutide-based meds have exploded in the past two years—and not just among your favorite Real Housewives.

But if you're in perimenopause or menopause and have been contemplating jumping on the injectables bandwagon, GLP-1s may actually do you more harm than good.

In today’s episode, "Can’t Lose Weight? The Truth About GLP-1 for Weight Loss in Perimenopause & Beyond," I’m peeling back the curtain on hormonal weight gain, GLP-1 meds, and what women in midlife need to know before going all in on this ‘miracle shot.’

In this episode, we'll discuss:

✅ Does GLP-1 work for hormonal weight gain—or is it just masking a deeper issue?

✅ The unexpected effects of GLP-1, including the risks no one talks about

✅ What really happens when you stop taking semaglutide for weight loss

✅ Why most women gain weight after stopping GLP-1

✅ How GLP-1 and hormones interact in midlife—and why the risks may hit harder in perimenopause and beyond

If you’ve ever considered trying Ozempic "just for a few months"—this episode is for you. 🎧
