We’ll answer questions like: -Why am I gaining weight during menopause even though nothing has changed? -Do GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro work for weight gain during menopause? -How does menopause affect metabolism? -What should I eat during menopause to lose weight and feel better? -Why am I so tired and foggy in menopause? -Can you take a GLP-1 with HRT? -How does stress make menopause symptoms worse? -What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause? -Can menopause affect your nervous system?
