133 | GLP-1, Menopause & Weight Gain: What Every Woman Over 40 Needs to Know

If you’ve been hearing about Ozempic, Wegovy, or GLP-1 and wondering what it really means for you in perimenopause or menopause, this episode is a must-listen.
Here’s the truth: GLP-1 isn’t just about medication — it’s a natural hormone your body already makes that helps control appetite, cravings, blood sugar, and weight. But here’s the catch: after 40, GLP-1 levels naturally decline as estrogen and progesterone drop. That’s why cravings increase, belly fat shows up, and weight loss feels impossible even when you’re “doing everything right.”
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What GLP-1 actually is — and why the medications work
Why menopause lowers GLP-1 (and how that impacts weight gain)
3 science-backed ways to boost your body’s natural GLP-1 without drugs
How sleep, minerals, and gut health all play a role in your metabolism after 40
👉 Ready to go deeper? Join me for my free 2-day live workshop on October 14–15 where I’ll teach you step-by-step how to reset your metabolism, balance hormones, and finally see results after 40. Save your spot at nutritionherway.com/workshop — even if you can’t join live, you’ll get the replay.
Friend, your body isn’t broken. With the right tools, you can boost GLP-1 naturally, calm cravings, and finally get your metabolism working for you again. 💛
