Muscle. Bones. Weight. Midlife.
It’s all connected.
On this episode of The Va**na Doctor Podcast, Duncan Turner, MD and Sophie Mengele, FNP-C discuss why weight management in perimenopause and menopause is about so much more than the number on the scale.
They break down the importance of preserving muscle, protecting bone strength, supporting metabolism, and using tools like body composition scans, GLP-1s, peptides, nutrition, and hormone optimization to create a smarter, more sustainable plan.
Because healthy aging isn’t just about losing weight — it’s about staying strong.
