EP 303. Before You Start a GLP-1, Get These Labs Done First

from Stop. Dieting. Forever.™ | Fat Loss for Women over 40 · host Jennifer Dent Brown | Health + Life Coach for Women Over 40

A woman came to me ready to buy a GLP-1 and I could have made the sale in ninety seconds. Instead I asked her one question, because in perimenopause and midlife, starting a GLP-1 or HRT without your labs is guessing with your money. If your bloodwork came back normal but the weight will not move, this episode is the one to save. Most women think midlife weight loss is a discipline problem. It is a data problem. You cannot out-discipline missing data. In this episode I walk you through the exact way I help my clients connect the dots between their labs, their symptoms, their stress, and their identity, so their body finally responds again. I also tell you about a client who swore she was in perimenopause. Her hormones came back solid. The real story was somewhere else entirely. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why "everything looks normal" does not mean nothing is wrong The four things to handle before you start a GLP-1, HRT, or any peptide What a baseline is, and the costly mistake of skipping it Why your 3 a.m. wake-ups may be blood sugar and cortisol, not just hormones How comprehensive labs reveal what four separate specialists usually miss Download The Grown Woman's Midlife Metabolism Panel at jenniferdent.com/reset.
