Why Is My Body Changing? Weight, Ozempic and the Midlife Metabolism Conversation
Wednesday, 9 September, 2026
You're eating the same foods. Doing the same workouts. Living in the same body. Except suddenly, your body feels different. Like you don't really recognize it anymore. Sound familiar? In the first episode of this new She2.0 and WellnessMD podcast series, Jacquie sits down with Dr. Daniela Steyn to talk about weight, nutrition and body composition during perimenopause and menopause. They get into abdominal weight gain, the importance of maintaining muscle, blood sugar crashes, intermittent fasting and why waking up at 3:00 a.m. may not always be caused by hormones alone. Dr. Steyn also explains how Ozempic and other GLP 1 medications can reduce food noise and support weight loss, along with the potential trap of relying on appetite suppression without paying attention to nutrition, protein and muscle. In this episode: • Why familiar eating and exercise habits may stop producing familiar results • The difference between weight and body composition • Why muscle matters so much in midlife • What Ozempic means by quieting "food noise" • Why weight loss can also lead to muscle loss • How blood sugar may contribute to middle of the night waking • Whether intermittent fasting is right for every woman • Simple ways to make eating well more realistic • Why personalization matters more than another universal menopause rule This series was created in partnership with WellnessMD.
