Ep 130 Ozempic and Wegovy for Menopause Weight Gain? Expert Advice with Dr. Sarah Stombaugh

Hello friends! In this episode, I am delighted to have Dr. Sarah Stombaugh on the podcast. We explore the popular GLP-1 medications you may have heard about—Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro—and talk about how they work, who they're designed for, and what makes them effective. We also unpack some of the concerns around these medications, including who should avoid them and what needs to be in place for long-term success.

Dr. Stombaugh explains how these medications fit into a much bigger picture that includes nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management. For women in perimenopause and menopause who are seeing changes in their weight and metabolism, this conversation offers clarity and reassurance. Whether you’ve struggled with weight your whole life or are seeing shifts for the first time, you’ll find helpful information here.

We also talk about Dr. Stombaugh’s excellent online resource, The GLP Guide, created to support people using these medications outside of a comprehensive care program.

Dr. Stombaugh’s approach is science-based, compassionate, and refreshingly practical. I think you’re going to love what she shares.
