Have you been struggling with your weight along the fertility journey? 

Perhaps someone has even suggested a GLP-1, however you were worried about how this might affect your timing and potentially your future pregnancy?

Dr. Sarah Stombaugh debunks a lot of myths in this evidence-based conversation. We discuss the following:

• GLP-1s and the different half lives / recommendations for discontinuing prior to pregnancy
• Other weight loss medications which can be used as adjuncts during the bridge to treatment
• Intuitive eating, hunger and satiety (including protein goals, fiber, hydration, and optimizing the micronutrient environment)
• Emotional eating and how to overcome this
• Mindset pearls
