Ep. 136 GLP-1s in Perimenopause: Why Women Feel Shame for Getting Help

from It's Not JUST Menopause | Metabolism, Weight Loss & Hormone Solutions for Women in Midlife

If you're in perimenopause and using a GLP-1 — or thinking about it — and you've felt like you had to justify that decision to anyone, this episode is for you. I'm getting into why the shame around GLP-1 use hits so much harder for women in perimenopause, where it's actually coming from, and why most of the loudest critics have never struggled with a changing metabolism a day in their lives. Perfect for women in perimenopause or menopause who are tired of feeling like they have to earn the right to get support. 00:00 Show Intro 01:09 GLP-1s and Hidden Shame 02:34 Why Weight Loss Gets Judged 03:29 Quick Quiz Break 04:17 Perimenopause and Losing Control 04:58 Not a Shortcut Real Effort 05:39 Calling Out Industry Bias 08:47 The Real Problem Narrative 11:04 Support Your Body on GLP-1s 11:32 Free Workshop Invitation 12:56 Final Thoughts and Outro Check out the show notes and full resources at https://cindistickle.com/podcast/ep-136-glp-1s-in-perimenopause-why-women-feel-shame-for-getting-help Mentioned Links: GLP-1 Nutrition in Perimenopause & Menopause workshop — https://cindistickle.com/glp-1-nutrition-in-perimenopause-menopause Connect with Cindi What's Really Behind Your Menopause Symptoms?
