This may be one of those episodes you are tempted to skip because nobody really wants to hear that their nightly glass of wine could be working against them.

The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health
You cannot open your phone anymore without hearing about Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, retatrutide, and before-and-after transformations. One person says GLP-1s are the greatest thing ever. Another says they are going to destroy your health. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle. In this episode, I break down GLP-1s specifically through the lens of perimenopause and menopause, because midlife women are dealing with a completely different metabolic landscape.
