GLP-1 medications have changed the conversation around weight loss at menopause - but knowing if, when and how to use them safely isn't so straightforward.

In this episode of Weight, There's More at Menopause, host Lucy Jones - award-winning Registered Nutritionist and founder of Lutrition - sits down with GP and Weight Management Specialist Dr Samila Asad to break down what GLP-1 medications are, where they fit into weight management at menopause, and what to know before starting them.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What GLP-1 medications actually are, and how they work in the body
• Why weight can feel so much harder to manage during the menopause transition
• How GLP-1s can help women who feel like they're "doing everything right" but still gaining weight
• The biggest myths and misinformation circulating about GLP-1s
• Who GLP-1s are (and aren't) suitable for, whether they're a long-term or short-term tool, and the side effects to know about
• What to consider before starting - including the lifestyle habits that matter most, and alternatives if GLP-1s aren't right for you

Whether you're considering GLP-1s, already using them, or just want to understand the evidence before making a decision, this episode cuts through the noise with evidence based, practical advice you can actually use.

If you find yourself eating more in the evenings or turning to food for comfort, it's not a lack of willpower - and it could be quietly driving the weight gain you can't seem to shift at menopause.

In this episode of Weight, There's More at Menopause, host Lucy Jones - award-winning Registered Nutritionist and founder of Lutrition - sits down with Registered Nutritionist Lucy Jade Webb to talk about why emotional eating shows up more at menopause, what's really driving it, and how it connects to weight.

• What emotional eating actually is - and why it's more than "crying into a tub of ice cream"
• Why emotional eating often becomes more noticeable during the menopause transition
• What drives emotional eating at this stage of life, including body image changes and not recognising your own body anymore
• Why food feels soothing, and what's really happening when you turn to food for comfort
• How the shame around emotional eating drives more emotional eating - and more weight gain
• Practical, judgement-free ways to reduce emotional eating, and what to stop doing

Whether you recognise yourself in this or you're supporting someone who does, this episode cuts through the noise with evidence based, compassionate advice you can actually use.
