106. GLP-1s in Perimenopause: What Most Providers Are Missing
Episode 106
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026

GLP-1 medications and peptides are everywhere right now - but the conversation around them has become loud, polarized, and often missing context. In this episode, I share why I intentionally waited to talk about GLP-1s, how I think about them through a functional and midlife lens, and why tools like peptides or hormones can't replace foundational health work. This is a grounded, non-shaming conversation for women who want clarity (not hype) when it comes to weight, metabolism, muscle, and long-term health after 40. You'll learn: What GLP-1s and peptides are - and why they've become so popular Why I'm neither "for" nor "against" GLP-1s, especially in perimenopause The real risks of rapid weight loss without protein and strength training What women on GLP-1s need to prioritize: muscle, nutrition, gut health, and nervous system support Why no medication or peptide replaces lifestyle, hormones, and metabolic context WATCH ON YOUTUBE ⏰April Enrollment is Open for The Perimenopause Method 12 weeks • Precision testing • A plan built for your body ⭐️ BONUS: 1 month free in our membership Episode Links: EQUIP PROTEIN (save 15% with code: healthcoachclaudia) CONNECT WITH CLAUDIA: Website YouTube Instagram Inquiries LOVE THE SHOW?
