Let's Talk GLP-1s...everything you need to know if you are taking one or considering it!

Last week I had the opportunity to teach a group of women about one of the most talked-about topics in healthcare today: GLP-1 medications. As I was preparing this presentation, I realized this conversation was too important not to share here on the podcast. Whether you've been prescribed Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or another GLP-1 medication—or you're simply trying to understand what all the headlines mean—my goal isn't to convince you to take one or avoid one, as a Doctor of Physical Therapy that is not my scope of practice. My goal is to help you make informed decisions with confidence and discuss all of your options with your healthcare practitioner.   As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I believe every woman deserves evidence-based information, not fear, shame, or social media opinions. In this episode, we discuss: • What GLP-1 medications actually do inside the body • Why they've become so popular for weight loss • The science behind appetite, food noise, and blood sugar regulation • The risks of muscle loss during rapid weight loss • Why protein and strength training become even more important while taking a GLP-1 • Common misconceptions about these medications • Questions every woman should ask before starting treatment • How to think beyond the number on the scale and focus on long-term health This isn't about choosing sides. It's about understanding the evidence, advocating for yourself, and creating a plan that supports your health for years to come. If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to continue the conversation each week through The Weekly Exam Room, where we dive deeper into women's health, advocacy, and the science behind living stronger, longer, and with more confidence.
