Ep. 140 | GLP-1 and Perimenopause Nutrition: What Happens When You Skip the Nutrition Foundation (And Why It Matters)
If you started a GLP-1 and something feels off — you're exhausted, your hair is thinning, the scale moved for a few weeks and then stalled — this episode is going to explain exactly what's happening.
The medication is working. That's not the problem. The problem is that GLP-1s suppress appetite but they don't protect your muscle, fix your blood sugar, or tell your body which tissue to pull from when you're eating less. In perimenopause and menopause, where muscle loss is already accelerating and insulin sensitivity has already shifted, that gap matters more than most women realize.
In this episode I break down what I see when women come to me after being on a GLP-1 without the right nutrition foundation — and what your body actually needs to make the medication work the way it's supposed to.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why GLP-1s don't protect your muscle — and what does
Why eating less without a nutrition strategy leads to fatigue, hair thinning, and stalled results
How perimenopause changes the way your body handles a calorie deficit
The four things your body actually needs on a GLP-1 in midlife
Why most GLP-1 side effects are nutrition problems — not medication problems
