About this episode

This episode discusses the four critical gaps women face when using GLP-1 medications during perimenopause and menopause.

If you started a GLP-1 feeling hopeful and ended up nauseous, exhausted, and losing muscle instead of weight, this episode is for you. The medication didn't fail you. Something was missing. Four things, actually. In this episode, I walk you through the four biggest gaps I see in women using GLP-1 medications during perimenopause and menopause, and why what you do while you're on it matters just as much as the medication itself. Perfect for women in perimenopause or menopause who are on a GLP-1 (or considering one) and want to actually get results without running on empty. 00:00 GLP-1 Reality Check 01:24 Gap One Nutrition Basics 03:02 Gap Two Prioritize Protein 04:40 Gap Three Low Appetite Plan 06:10 Gap Four Fix Side Effects 07:33 Introducing The FUEL Method 09:10 Next Steps And Wrap Up Check out the full show notes at https://cindistickle.com/podcast/ep-147-glp-1-nutrition-in-perimenopause-4-things-most-women-never-learn Connect with Cindi Take the Menopause Quiz — https://cindistickle.com/quiz Perimenopause Morning Reset — https://cindistickle.myflodesk.com/nervoussystemorningreset Book a Metabolism Consultation — https://cal.com/cindi-stickle/metabolism-consultation Come hang…
