In this episode of The Second Half Strong Show, Heather Hausman explores the real conversation many women aren’t having about GLP-1 medications and perimenopause. Instead of debating whether they’re right or wrong, she breaks down what women need to understand about metabolism, hormone shifts, and weight loss after 40—including why fatigue, digestive issues, and weight regain can happen before, during, or after using these medications.

You’ll learn how GLP-1 medications work, what role your body’s natural GLP-1 plays, and why factors like protein intake, strength training, gut health, and muscle preservation are essential for long-term results. Whether you’re currently on a GLP-1, considering it, or coming off, this episode gives you a practical, science-backed approach to protecting your metabolic health, energy, and body composition in midlife.

Tune in to learn how to work with your body—not against it—and subscribe to The Second Half Strong Show for more expert guidance on perimenopause, metabolism, and building strength for the second half of life.
