GLP-1s are everywhere right now, and the conversation around them has gotten loud, polarized, and honestly a little exhausting. You’ve got one camp calling them a miracle drug and another saying you’re taking the easy way out. I’m not here for either of those takes.
What I am here for is giving you the full picture: the questions, the considerations, and the context you actually deserve before making any decision about your body.
As a functional nutritionist who works primarily with women navigating endometriosis, hormone imbalances, and gut health issues, I’m seeing this topic come up constantly, from clients, from my community, from women who’ve been told this is their only option. So let’s talk about it.
In This Episode We Cover
- What informed consent actually means (and why it matters more than you think)
- The real benefits of GLP-1s
- Practical questions to bring to your prescribing practitioner before starting
- What GLP-1s are actually doing inside your body
- The gut health considerations nobody is talking about
- Muscle mass, nutrition, and why “eating less” isn’t always the whole story
- How chronic inflammation connects to blood sugar, gut health, and your hormones, and why quieting symptoms isn’t the same as addressing root causes
- The fertility and hormone questions that still don’t have clear answers
- Why having an exit strategy matters if you do choose to start
- How to use GLP-1s as a tool alongside foundational work, not instead of it
