Think GLP-1s are just weight-loss drugs? Think again.

Literally could write a book on this trend (oh wait, I did! 🤣).

Help me build the list of ‘things we aren’t falling for about GLP-1s/weight loss/health below!! ⬇️

In 1988, J.R. Morris — a former to***co executive — bought Kraft. That wasn’t a coincidence. It was a business move. He used the same playbook that sold ci******es to engineer ultraprocessed foods: hyper-palatable, habit-forming, cheap, and addictive.
These weren’t designed for nutrition. They were designed for repeat consumption.

Today, 73% of the U.S. food supply is ultraprocessed.

And we now live in a world where:
🔁 Hunger hormones are broken
🔁 Brains crave fake food
🔁 Obesity is rising faster than ever

It’s not about willpower. It’s about how our food was designed. We weren’t overeating. We were out-engineered.

😱Don’t panic! The science actually tells us this is normal, but I find that it’s the perfect time for patients to want to blow the whole thing up (spoiler: I don’t want you to do that!)

When in doubt, follow the science even though your brain will try to tell you that it’s failing 🧠

No surprise here, research on weight management in menopause is lacking (so frustrating how little we specifically study the female population!), but we do know that between the ages of 50-60, women, on average, will gain over 1.5 pounds a year. These are three of the biggest hormonal culprits (and what to do about it) ⬇️

•Insulin — In peri/menopause, there is an increase in insulin resistance, even independent of weight gain. Insulin is a fat storage and hunger hormone, so the higher levels of insulin being pumped out to hand blood sugar can lead to weight gain. My favorite tool for testing early insulin resistance is the HOMA-IR score (uses fasting insulin and glucose). Lower carbohydrate diet modifications, more movement and medication (from metformin to GLP-1s) can make a big impact fighting insulin resistance.

•Testosterone — When estrogen levels drop in menopause, the amount of available (unbound) testosterone increases, which is tied to visceral (aka abdominal) fat accumulation. Estrogen HRT can help counterbalance this hormonal imbalance.

•Leptin — Leptin is a fullness hormone that communicates with the brain to keep a balance of healthy fat stores. But, in peri/menopause, declining estrogen levels can lead to leptin resistance and make it harder for your brain to receive the signal to be full and stop eating. To add insult to injury, significant leptin resistance is also tied to hot flashes. The best way to keep leptin resistance at bay is to minimize ultra-processed food and focus on quality sleep and strength training.
