And so is the debate. Some people call it a breakthrough. Others say it’s cheating. So let’s talk about it. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience taking a GLP-1 as a 50-year-old woman navigating perimenopause, inflammation, and a body that suddenly stopped responding to all the things that used to work. My CARRY Media colleague Kristen White joins me to ask the questions so many women are asking privately: What are the side effects? Does it actually work? And what happens when you stop? It’s also Women’s History Month, and all March long, we’re talking about the issues that matter to women. No hype. No shame. Just an honest conversation about women’s health—and what I’ve learned so far. Life Happens. Let’s Talk About it.
