How Hormone Therapy Can Improve GLP-1 Results (with Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas)
About this episode
Elizabeth McGann and Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas discuss the impact of hormone therapy on GLP-1 results and women's health during menopause.
In this episode, Elizabeth welcomes back Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas — board-certified OB-GYN, author of *The Menopause Myth*, founder of Tula Wellness and Aesthetics, and host of the *Stay Juicy* podcast — for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation about menopause, metabolism, hormone therapy, GLP-1 medications, inflammation, and what it really means for women to thrive after 40. Dr. Arianna brings her signature mix of medical expertise, humor, candor, and whole-person wisdom to a topic so many women are quietly struggling with: why their bodies suddenly feel different, why weight loss becomes harder, why sleep, mood, sex drive, energy, and brain function can all shift in midlife — and why none of this is a personal failure. Together, Elizabeth and Dr. Arianna explore how estrogen, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, gut health, cortisol, inflammation, nutrition, muscle mass, and GLP-1s all intersect. They also discuss why women using hormone therapy may experience better outcomes on GLP-1 medications, why estrogen is not simply a “weight loss tool,” and why menopause can be understood not only as a biological transition, but as a "body, mind, and soul" transformation.
