Today’s episode topic is a LONG time coming, and it’s something that is both intriguing + triggering: GLP1’s and semaglutide peptides.
I know there are sooo many strong opinions about GLP-1s (especially in the holistic health space). My goal is to bring a fresh perspective to these medications – specifically, as to how they can impact women’s metabolic health in a positive way, whether you’re dealing with PCOS, insulin resistance or in perimenopause.
I’m diving into the nitty gritty on GLP-1s peptides & how they *actually* work, and the concept of microdosing GLP-1s. I’m also discussing naturally-occurring GLP-1s vs. medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, how peptides positively affect inflammation, insulin resistance during perimenopause, common myths and ‘fear mongering’ surrounding GLP-1s, and more.
If you’ve ever felt torn about GLP-1 medications, you’re NOT alone. It’s important to realize that these aren’t just another ‘quick fix’, and personalization is key here!

I know from my own personal health journey that it's possible to reclaim my body after years of struggling. I was confused and overwhelmed, dismissed by health providers who didn't take the time to understand the "why" behind my symptoms. Then I discovered Functional Nutrition and worked through the process of unraveling the root causes behind my struggles, everything changed.
