    Ep. 145 GLP-1 and HRT in Perimenopause: Why the Scale Barely Moves Without Hormone Support

    14/06/2026 | 16 mins.
    If you're on a GLP-1 and your results are slower than you expected — this episode is for you.
    It's probably not your dose. It's not your willpower. It's what's happening underneath the medication.
    In this episode I talk about why GLP-1s work dramatically better on a supported, regulated body — and what that actually means for women in perimenopause and menopause.

    Ep. 144 GLP-1 and Perimenopause Burnout: Why Losing Weight Doesn't Mean Feeling Better

    07/06/2026 | 15 mins.
    If you're on a GLP-1 and losing weight but still feel terrible — this episode is going to explain exactly why.
    A GLP-1 works on appetite and blood sugar. What it doesn't do is fix perimenopause burnout. And if your nervous system is already running on fumes when you start one, the medication is going to expose that fast.
    In this episode, I break down what perimenopause burnout actually is, why a GLP-1 can't fix it on its own, and what your body actually needs to start feeling as good as the scale looks.

    24/05/2026 | 12 mins.

    Ep. 141 GLP-1 and Blood Sugar: What Perimenopause Women Need to Know

    17/05/2026 | 10 mins.
    You're on a GLP-1, your appetite is down, you're eating less — and your blood sugar is still doing weird things. The crashes. The mood dips. The afternoon fog. The 3am wake-ups.
    Isn't the medication supposed to help with this?
    It does. But not in the way most women think. In this episode I break down what GLP-1s actually do for blood sugar, what perimenopause does on top of that, and what you need to eat to make it all actually work.
