Ep 353: Peptides For Stuck Weight: The Truth About GLP-1s & GIP In Perimenopause
Are you doing all the right things — eating well, balancing your hormones, supporting your gut, getting your steps in — but the scale still isn’t budging?
You’re not crazy. You’re not lazy. And you’re definitely not alone.
In this episode of The Period Whisperer Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — tools in midlife health: peptide therapy. Specifically, we’re talking about GLP-1s and GLP-1/GIP + B12 blends, and how microdosing these peptides can help support your metabolism, energy, and weight loss without extreme diets or overexercising.
I’ll walk you through:
✨ What GLP-1 and GIP peptides actually are — and how they work with your body (not against it)
✨ The difference between traditional GLP-1s and the microdose GLP-1/GIP + B12 stack
✨ Why it’s not cheating to get help supporting your metabolism in perimenopause
✨ The real reasons women get “stuck” with their weight in midlife — and how peptides can help rebalance blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and calm “food noise”
✨ Why microdosing is my preferred approach (plus the incredible results I’ve seen in my clients and my wife!)
✨ The foundational lab markers to check before starting any peptide protocol
If you’ve been feeling stuck — even though you’re doing everything right — this episode will help you see why it’s not your fault, and how science-backed peptide therapy might be the missing piece to help your body respond again.
