Ep. 144 | GLP-1 and Perimenopause Burnout: Why Losing Weight Doesn't Mean Feeling Better
If you're on a GLP-1 and the weight is moving but you still feel exhausted, foggy, and like you're losing yourself in the process — this episode is for you.
A GLP-1 does its job well. It regulates appetite and blood sugar. But it was never designed to fix perimenopause burnout. And if your nervous system is already in a stressed, depleted state when you start one, the medication is going to expose that — fast.
In this episode, I break down what perimenopause burnout actually is at a physiological level, why GLP-1s can't touch it on their own, and what your body actually needs to feel as good as the scale looks.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
What perimenopause burnout actually is — and why it's not a mindset problem
How dropping estrogen makes your stress response more sensitive, not less
Why appetite suppression can make burnout worse if you're not eating intentionally
Why a GLP-1 can accelerate muscle loss and slow metabolism in a burned-out body
What the women getting the best results on GLP-1s have in common
The three foundational pieces that fix what a GLP-1 can't
