Welcome to Fit in Your 40s Podcast.
If your body feels like it changed overnight — stubborn belly fat, cravings you never had before, low energy, poor sleep, and workouts that used to work but don’t anymore — this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, Doucky is joined by Dr. Nicole Tuley, a board-certified menopause practitioner with nearly two decades of experience helping women navigate perimenopause and menopause.

We’re diving into one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) topics right now: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and GLP-1 medications — and what actually happens when they’re used together, responsibly, and with the right foundation.

This episode cuts through the noise, myths, and social-media hype to explain what’s really happening in your body after 40 — and what actually helps women feel strong, energized, and confident again.

🎧 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why eating less and exercising more often backfires in your 40s
  • How estrogen loss drives insulin resistance and midsection weight gain
  • The truth about cortisol, cravings, and online misinformation
  • What HRT really is — and who is (and isn’t) a good candidate
  • The safest, evidence-based forms of estrogen and progesterone
  • What GLP-1 medications actually do (beyond weight loss)
  • Who qualifies for GLP-1s — and when micro-dosing may make sense
  • Real risks vs real benefits of GLP-1 medications
  • How to prevent muscle loss while losing fat in midlife
  • Why lifestyle habits still matter — even with HRT or GLP-1s
  • How combining nutrition, strength training, HRT, and GLP-1s can finally break the plateau
