Episode Description

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are being hyped as miracle fixes for weight loss. But in menopause? They’re not the solution — they’re the problem.

In this episode, Isaiah Bawek breaks down why GLP-1 medications backfire for women in midlife, leading to muscle loss, a slower metabolism, and stubborn belly fat that doesn’t budge. You’ll learn the hidden costs of relying on these shots, what actually works for fat loss in menopause, and how to rebuild your foundation of muscle, metabolism, and hormones — for results that last.

If you’re tired of starving on 1200 calories and ready for a smarter plan, this one’s for you.
