When it comes to GLP-1 medications, your age and stage of life matter more than a lot of people realize. What works for your body at 25 won't work the same way at 45... and definitely not at 65.

Yet somehow, most people are still being treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Same advice, same dosing strategy, same conversation — regardless of whether you're navigating PCOS in your twenties, perimenopause in your forties, or trying to protect your muscle mass in your sixties. And that disconnect might be exactly why things feel harder than they should.

Tune in to find out what I watch for at every stage of life, so you can make sure what you’re doing is helping, not holding you back.
