Michele Scarlet breaks down the increasingly confusing conversation around GLP-1 medications and weight loss after 40, especially during perimenopause. She explains how hormonal changes, insulin resistance, sleep, thyroid function, gut health, nutrition, muscle mass, and stress can influence metabolic health and weight loss.

The episode covers GLP-1s, microdosing, appetite suppression, insulin sensitivity, muscle preservation, medication sourcing, individualized dosing, and sustainable weight loss, while emphasizing that GLP-1s are a tool not a magic solution or a replacement for foundational health.
