It's Not JUST Menopause: GLP-1 Support, Fat Loss, & Hormone Solutions for Women in Midlife

Show Notes

Not being hungry on a GLP-1 feels like the medication is working. It is. But not being hungry is not the same thing as not needing to eat. And confusing those two things is one of the biggest mistakes women make on a GLP-1 in perimenopause and menopause. In this episode I talk about what actually happens in the body when you chronically under-eat on a GLP-1, why the stakes are higher in perimenopause, and what eating with low appetite actually needs to look like. This is Week 3 of the FUEL Method series. 00:00 Show Intro 01:10 GLP-1 Low Appetite Myth 01:49 Personal Wake Up Call 03:32 What GLP-1 Changes 04:02 Quick GLP-1 Quiz Break 04:45 Why Undereating Backfires 06:24 Signs You're Underfueling 08:39 Hunger Versus Need 09:47 Meal Structure That Works 10:42 Protein Non Negotiable 11:41 Easy High Protein Options 12:56 Schedule And Track Intake 14:44 Results And Coaching Offer 16:17 Final Thanks And Outro Check out the full show notes at https://cindistickle.com/podcast/ep-154-glp-1-appetite-loss-why-not-being-hungry-is-the-problem

But if some of what you're losing is muscle, your metabolism is paying a price you can't see on the scale.
