GLP-1s / Ozempic vs. “Natural” Weight Loss - What's The Better Path For Women Over 40?


Listen Later

Recent headlines about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have created more confusion than clarity for women seeking sustainable weight loss solutions. As someone who's spent decades helping women transform their bodies, I'm diving deep into what the research actually reveals about these medications – both the surprising benefits and the critical precautions. More importantly, I'm sharing the essential foundation every woman needs before considering any weight loss approach, whether using GLP-1s or not. You'll discover why protecting your muscle mass is non-negotiable after 40, how to measure your progress beyond the scale, and the exact protocol I use with clients to ensure healthy, sustainable fat loss while maintaining metabolism.

What you'll learn:

  • The unexpected benefits of GLP-1s beyond appetite suppression, including inflammation reduction and potential mood improvement

  • Why muscle mass matters more than your scale weight, especially as you age

  • Essential strategies to protect your metabolism during weight loss

  • The critical role of protein timing and resistance training in body transformation

  • How to properly track your progress using more than just the scale

  • Natural alternatives that can help support your body's own GLP-1 production

  • The truth about rapid weight loss and why slower is actually faster for lasting results
