Ep 19 | Battle of the Belly Bulge: Weight Loss Meds & Perimenopause
Welcome to the magical mystery tour that is perimenopause, where your hormones throw a rave and forget to invite your metabolism.
In this episode of OvaryActive, the Docs tackle the ever-fun topic of weight gain during perimenopause—because just when you thought you had your fitness routine down, suddenly your jeans won't button no matter what you do.
Dr. Amy Voedisch and Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su are here to tell us what's really going on with our bodies during this hormonal joyride. They talk through the outdated gospel of BMI, the realities of lifestyle changes (yes, we see you, kale), and the current science of obesity treatment, fresh off the Obesity Medicine Association runway.
From GLP-1s to diabetes meds and everything in between, they cover the full pharmacy aisle of weight loss medications—along with the pros, cons, and costs. Listeners will gain clarity, a few laughs, and a better idea of what might actually work for you.
