Curious about how rapid weight loss might be affecting your muscle and bone health? In this episode, Louise dives into the risks associated with popular GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, particularly for active women and runners going through perimenopause. Drawing from her 21 years of clinical experience, Louise—a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners—breaks down the myths and uncovers the truth about how, in certain contexts, weight loss medications and surgeries can do more harm than good. In fact, there are many unexpected consequences for active women and runners that even the medical community never saw coming! 

Louise doesn’t just talk the talk; she also shares her personal struggles with hormonal imbalances, emotional eating, and how she’s navigated these challenges. You'll gain practical tips on overcoming late-night cravings, the importance of community support, and how to maintain healthy habits as your body changes.

This episode is a must-listen for any woman navigating perimenopause, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to stay healthy as they age. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your body and practical steps to enhance your wellness journey.
