She’s also the owner of Dr. Z’s Lifestyle Community, serving the Washington DC area since 2008.We talk about the real drivers behind the GLP-1 surge and what women need to understand so they don’t trade short-term results for long-term fragility.In this episode, we cover:* Why midlife weight changes are not a willpower issue* Why GLP-1s feel like “hope” for so many women right now* What GLP-1s can change, and what they don’t change* The foundations that still matter: protein, strength, sleep, and stress stability* The “handrail” mindset: a plan you can keep on a messy dayThis conversation is educational and not medical advice.
