Ep. 65 Should women of reproductive age take GLP-1s?
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
In this week's episode I discuss how GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and similar weight-loss drugs are being used at unprecedented rates — especially by women of reproductive age. I share why this trend deeply concerns me, and why I believe these medications pose serious, largely unknown risks for future fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term generational health. This conversation has been building for months, fueled by client stories, cultural normalization of GLP-1s, influencer misinformation, and growing reports of severe side effects and lawsuits. It’s not about judgment — it’s about history, responsibility, and informed decision-making. In This Episode, We Cover: Why FDA approval does not equal long-term safety The rise of GLP-1 use in women who want children someday Historical drug disasters (Vioxx, DES, Thalidomide) and what they teach us Emerging lawsuits and serious side effects linked to GLP-1 medications Nutrient depletion, gut health, and the role of the maternal microbiome Why appetite suppression ≠ true metabolic or reproductive health The risks of using GLP-1s before pregnancy — even if you stop once pregnant Why stopping breastfeeding to lose weight with these drugs is especially concerning My Core Belief Women deserve support that helps them get healthy, nourished, and hormonally resilient — not just thinner. If this episode resonated, I’d love to hear from you.
