Ep. 130 | GLP-1 and Menopause: 8 Weeks In, What's Actually Working and Why I'm Advocating for This Tool
10.8 pounds lost. Zero side effects. Blood glucose continuing to drop. Still on the lowest dose — intentionally.
Eight weeks in on my GLP-1 journey and I have data, clarity, and a lot to say.
In this episode, I'm giving you the full update — what's actually working, why I'm microdosing instead of following the standard protocol, what the blood glucose numbers mean for women in menopause, and why I'm not just using this tool. I'm advocating for it.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
What microdosing actually means and why staying at the lowest dose is a strategic choice — not playing it safe
Why muscle loss accelerates as GLP-1 doses increase and why that's a critical conversation for women in menopause
The estrogen-insulin connection and why blood sugar instability is so common in midlife
Why GLP-1s work best as one part of a bigger picture — not the whole plan
Why the nervous system piece still matters even when medication is in the picture
Why I'm advocating for this tool — and what I want every woman to have before she makes this decision
The stigma around using medical support in menopause is real. Women feel like they're cheating. Like they failed. Like they should be able to do this on their own.
That's not okay. And it's not true.
You deserve real information without judgment. That's what this episode is.
This episode is for you if: You're curious about GLP-1s but haven't gotten straight answers. Or you've been made to feel shame around wanting support. Or you just want the full picture from someone who's actually in it.
