162: GLP-1 Friendly Foods & Supplements: Why “Nature’s Ozempic” Isn’t What You Think
11/10/2026 | 15 mins.Last week I told you there's no such thing as a GLP-1 meal plan. Turns out, the meal plan was just the start.
GLP-1 friendly foods. Supplements claiming to support or boost your GLP-1. Nature's Ozempic. The marketing is everywhere right now. In this episode I break down what these claims actually mean, why most of it is just a label, and what you actually need to pay attention to when you're spending your money.

Free GLP-1 Weight Loss Stall Guide: https://cindistickle.myflodesk.com/glp-1stallguidepodcast - If you're spending $150 to $300 a month on menopause supplements and you're still exhausted, still not sleeping, and still wondering why nothing is working, this episode is for you.
Most of that money is going down the drain. Not because supplements can't help, but because of how they get bought. One symptom, one bottle, and nobody ever checked whether you needed it. Meanwhile the same symptom can come from a lot of different places, so buying off the symptom alone is guessing.
In this episode I break down how a supplement list gets that long, what I take and why every single one is on there, and what has to be in place before any of it can work. Plus the client who came to me in full burnout taking exactly one supplement, and what happened when I didn't add any.
Perfect for women over 40 who are spending real money on supplements and still not feeling better.

It's Not JUST Menopause is a no-BS podcast for midlife women who are dealing with menopause weight gain, hormone chaos, and metabolism struggles, and want real solutions, not another restrictive diet or magic pill.
Hosted by Cindi Stickle, Functional Nutrition Practitioner and Certified Menopause Specialist, this show offers practical, science-backed guidance for women who are ready to understand what's actually happening in their bodies and fix it.
This podcast delivers clear, straightforward conversations around menopause symptoms, nervous system support, metabolism changes, hormone balance, stress management, and what it really takes to feel like yourself again during perimenopause and menopause.
We’ll answer questions like:
-Why am I gaining weight during menopause even though nothing has changed?
-Do GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro work for weight gain during menopause?
-How does menopause affect metabolism?
-What should I eat during menopause to lose weight and feel better?
-Why am I so tired and foggy in menopause?
-Can you take a GLP-1 with HRT?
-How does stress make menopause symptoms worse?
-What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
-Can menopause affect your nervous system?
This show provides women in midlife with tools, strategies, and perspective to move beyond quick fixes and toward real metabolic healing, addressing the root causes of weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, and hormonal imbalance.
If you want to learn how to navigate menopause in a way that actually works for your body and leads to sustainable energy, confidence, and health, you're in the right place.
