Midlife Women & GLP-1s: Why Weight Loss Gets Harder (and How GLP-1s Can Help)

Midlife Women & GLP-1s: Why Weight Loss Gets Harder (and How GLP-1s Can Help)

Nurse practitioner Sophie Mengele from Turner Medical Arts discusses midlife women’s health and why GLP-1 medications can be especially helpful when weight loss stalls despite healthy habits like walking 10,000 steps, cutting alcohol, and eating well. She explains that changing estrogen levels in midlife can reduce insulin sensitivity and contribute to stubborn fat retention, making weight loss more difficult than it is for men or for women earlier in life. Sophie outlines how GLP-1s can improve insulin sensitivity and curb appetite, reducing constant thoughts about food, and describes GLP-1s as one tool in the toolbox to help midlife women reach their weight and health goals.
