Ep. 142 | GLP-1 and Perimenopause: Why It Works Differently in a Midlife Body

Most GLP-1 protocols weren't designed with perimenopausal women in mind. The research, the nutrition guidance, the standard advice — most of it was built for a body that looks very different from yours right now.

Which is why following generic GLP-1 advice in perimenopause often leads to partial results at best. Not because the medication isn't working. Because the approach wasn't built for where you are.

In this episode I walk through the four specific ways perimenopause changes how GLP-1 works in your body — and what you actually need to do differently to get the results you expected.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• Why insulin sensitivity changes in perimenopause and what that means for your GLP-1 results

• How declining estrogen accelerates muscle loss and why eating less makes it worse

• Why elevated cortisol in perimenopause blunts the effectiveness of the medication

• How disrupted hunger hormones make it dangerously easy to under-eat on a GLP-1

• What "working with your midlife body" actually looks like on a GLP-1
