About this episode
Eloise Edington and Danny Chu discuss personalized weight management during perimenopause and menopause, focusing on hormonal changes and metabolic health.
In this episode, Eloise Edington is joined by Danny Chu , in-house Prescriber at Envigore, to explore what personalised, medically supported weight management looks like during perimenopause and menopause. Danny breaks down the key health priorities at this stage of life — including hormonal changes, preserving muscle mass, and supporting long-term metabolic health — and explains how shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can affect appetite, fat distribution, and metabolism. The conversation also unpacks how GLP-1 medications work, who they may be suitable for, and addresses common misconceptions, including the idea that they’re a quick fix. Throughout, Danny explains Envigore’s holistic, safety-first approach, combining medical oversight with tailored nutrition, movement, and behavioural support.
