Ep. 132 | GLP-1 and Perimenopause Nutrition: What to Eat to Avoid Muscle Loss While Losing Weight
If you're using GLP-1s in perimenopause or menopause and wondering what you should actually be eating — this episode is for you.
Many women assume that less appetite means less to worry about nutritionally. In reality, perimenopause changes how your body responds to reduced food intake — and without the right nutrition strategy, you can lose muscle, slow your metabolism, and make symptoms worse even while the medication is working.
In this episode, I break down why protein is the non-negotiable when appetite drops, what a hormone-smart plate looks like for women over 40, and why eating less without eating right quietly backfires in midlife. You'll also learn the five most common nutrition mistakes women make on GLP-1s — and the piece of this conversation nobody's talking about.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why eating less on GLP-1s can backfire in a perimenopausal body
How declining estrogen affects muscle loss and metabolism
Why protein is non-negotiable — and how much you actually need
What to build every meal around for hormone support
The five most common nutrition mistakes women make when appetite drops
Why consistent fueling is a form of support, not a setback
